For those events that require a little more space than what our inside can provide, we have an outdoor area that can be dressed for any event! A wedding booked for next year is planning to use this space for cocktail hour after the ceremony. We have had this space used for a wedding, receptions, even a bounce house!

Last year we hosted over 30 events! A lot more than I thought, which was a nice surprise! Here are some snapshots from some of our favorite moments! 💗

I’d love to connect with you about ideas you have for upcoming events you may have! Our space has seen a wide variety of events from showers, art shows, receptions, weddings, book signing, birthdays, and more! Shoot me a message and I can get you pricing. We try and always rent for the full day so you can take time to set up, and take down without having to keep and eye on the clock. ⏰

Our Jaws themed birthday party went off great! Happy birthday to my mother! 💗

I’m obsessed with this rug! I feel like it adds such a fun personal touch to our prep area. Usually folks set up their foods back here to free up space out front. Perfect for catering, dessert table, etc! It’s about time someone else brings a chocolate fountain! 🍫 🍭

My personal favorite touch, is the painting hanging on the wall. Notice the floors! They’re the same checkered floors as our main event hall! I feel like it was absolutely meant to be when I happened upon it.

Message me any questions you have about rentals, or available dates! Please share 💗

One place I feel like you can get away with a crazy wallpaper is in the bathroom! I have overheard SO MANY people come out of the bathroom and say “yall HAVE to go to the bathroom to see the wallpaper” 😆

I feel like our bathroom adds to the unique event experience and sticks with folks! It’s a fun unexpected surprise in a place you wouldn’t think! 💗

I’ve noticed while events are going on out front, there are a couple folks always hanging out in our back hallway. A large collage is hanging there that of my students helped make that show some highlights from The Modern News from the 70s and 80s. It’s always fun when people spot themselves, or someone they know. Here are a few pics!
