The Signature Space

The Edison Room

High exposed wood ceilings. Warm original brick walls dating to 1898. Expansive oversized windows that flood the room with natural light during the day and frame the downtown skyline at night. And above it all, classic Edison string lights casting a soft, romantic glow over every celebration.

The Edison Room is where ceremonies become unforgettable, receptions come alive, and 127 years of history become the backdrop for your story. An elevated stage anchors the room for music, speeches, or entertainment. Custom draping lets you transform the space from grand and open to intimate and enclosed.

The Libations Lounge at 24 Shelby — oversized bar, elegant seating, 1920s atmosphere

Where Every Evening Begins

Libations Lounge

The first thing your guests see when they walk through the doors. An oversized, fully stocked bar commands the center of the room, flanked by elegant seating and wrapped in the kind of 1920s glamour that makes every cocktail feel like a celebration.

Designed for cocktail hours, pre-event gatherings, and intimate toasts, the Libations Lounge can flow openly from the Edison Room or close off entirely for a separate, private experience. Beer was made in this building for decades. Great drinks are in the DNA.

Step Outside

The Prohibition Patio

Fresh air and elegant seating just steps from the main event. The Prohibition Patio extends your celebration outdoors through modern windowed garage doors that open wide to blur the line between inside and out.

Ideal for cocktail hour overflow, intimate side conversations, sunset ceremonies, or simply catching a breath of evening air without leaving the party. At 25 guests, it's the intimate counterpoint to the Edison Room's grand scale.

Flexible Configurations

One room. Three distinct layouts. The Edison Room transforms to match your vision.

Ceremony + Reception

250 Seated

The full Edison Room with an aisle down the center for your ceremony, then a seamless flip to reception layout. Chairs rearranged around dinner tables, the stage becomes the band platform, and the dance floor opens up — all within the same 6,000+ square feet of original 1898 brick and Edison string lights.

Cocktail Reception

300+ Standing

Open floor plan with scattered high-top tables, lounge seating clusters, and the oversized bar as the natural focal point. Guests flow freely between the Edison Room, Libations Lounge, and Prohibition Patio — the kind of evening where every corner becomes a conversation.

Intimate Gathering

50–100 Guests

Custom draping divides the Edison Room to create a warm, enclosed space within the larger hall. Smaller guest count, same original brick walls, same Edison glow, same 127 years of character. Ideal for rehearsal dinners, private corporate dinners, or milestone celebrations.
