We opened The Upstairs at Ames FOUR years ago yesterday!

A lot has changed in 4 years, but honestly the event space has stayed much the same. It's still cozy and perfect for your shower or party.

I added a mix of old and new pictures to this post to see if y'all can tell which is which!😆

Thanks so much to everyone who has used this space over the years. It really is an honor to host you for all of your special moments ❤️.

If you'd like to book the space, go to TheUpstairsAtAmes.as.me or message me and I'd be happy to help!

Things have been HAPPENING in The Upstairs!

I’ve enjoyed slowly getting back into the swing of things with showers and other parties. But last weekend we had a full circle moment: Not only was The Upstairs the location for a WEDDING, but it was our very own ‘s wedding 🥰💕♥️.

If you frequented Ames Mercantile in our last couple years opened, you knew (and most likely loved!) Adin. So help me wish them and their new wife, Liz, a big congratulations on this new journey and send them lots of love 🫶🏼

We’re back BABY!

Lots of you have been asking. I’ve been trying to find the right time to do this and the start of the school year brings a fresh start for many so what better time than now?

She’ll be available for all of your showers, birthday parties, holiday parties. Click the link in the bio or go to TheUpstairsAtAmes.as.me to book!

Hi, I’m Katelyn 👋🏼

You might know me from Ames Mercantile, or you might be brand new here. Either way I’m so glad you’re here ♥️.

I had the idea to start a home decor boutique and event space venue probably in 2019. For me, it started with a super cool empty old building and I wondered how I could breathe new life into it. That’s one of my favorite things— seeing the potential in something, respecting its
history, and putting my stamp on it. In 2020 my business plan was already in place but then I found this space and I KNEW this must be the place.

Over the last year a lot has changed for me, but one thing has been consistent— my love for community and connection. I started to realize that I couldn’t do it myself, though. So when Komal reached out about helping coordinate events I saw a way to not have to give up on my dreams.

I’m so excited about this partnership, I feel revitalized, I feel hope in getting a chance to do the things I’ve been wanting to do— for all of you and for the Columbus community.

I’m so glad you’re all here, and I can’t wait to help you feel the connection and love we hope to bring to you in this space 🤗

✨Meet Komal, Event Coordinator Extraordinaire✨

“17 years ago, my family made a life-changing choice to call Columbus our home. My professional journey started as a store manager at our local Verizon Store, moving onto the role of a Client Service Manager for a radio station, where I discovered my talent for crafting exceptional experiences and making lasting community connections. Today, I’m thriving in my role as a Sales Consultant at Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits, leveraging my expertise to curate perfect choices for every palate.

🤍 But what truly sets my soul on fire is my love for event planning. There’s something magical about bringing people together for their special moments. Whether it’s a wedding, a birthday, or any milestone, I pour my heart into making every detail flawless. My knack for understanding people’s desires allows me to connect them with vendors who don't just meet their needs, but truly get them.

Beyond my professional realm, I’ve hosted countless family gatherings that have etched wonderful memories in our hearts. These moments remind me of the power of togetherness and celebration. I pour myself into every event I orchestrate, transforming dreams into tangible realities with passion and dedication.

Allow me to make your next event stress free!”
