The room

One warehouse room, dressed for your event

Whitewashed walls, exposed brick and timber trusses meet macrame, string lights and dark wood tables. Big sliding barn doors open the room to natural light during the day, then it settles into string lights and a warmer, moodier feel once the sun goes down. It reads rustic and a little boho without any styling from you, and hosts describe it as spacious yet cozy and intimate all at once, big enough for a real party and small enough to still feel like a room, not a hall.

Capacity
15 to 50 guests, with table seating for around 40 and belly up tables for the rest.
What's included
The chalkboard, the bar area and the grazing table come with every booking, along with a full sized fridge and a large sink for prepping flowers.
Rentals
4 dining tables and 45 chairs for $150, and a custom 3 color balloon arch for $250.
Vendor policy
Open. Bring your own caterer, baker, florist and decor, no required vendor list.
The room set for a dinner style event with long dark wood tables, string lights, exposed brick and a balloon garland

Hosts on the room

Every event books the same room, so what past hosts noticed tends to repeat: real storage, real prep space and enough breathing room even when the guest list runs long.

"The room made decorating easy as there was a bar area and also a great food table area. There is a full sized fridge to keep item cool until service along with a large sink for prepping flower vases."

Ondi Tricaso, Google review

"Even with almost 40 guests, there was still so much space to roam around a mingle comfortably."
