The Guild includes a 6,500 sq. ft. indoor space with a large open ballroom plus an additional 1,200+ sq. ft within the lobby/loft area. The lobby/loft is perfect for your smaller corporate meetings and events. The Guild also has a private 5,000 sq. ft. urban garden adorned with café lights. A breath of fresh air in the middle of the city, the outdoor green space can be used for happy hours, mingling, bands and more, with parking in abundance nearby.
The interior venue radiates a distinct vintage charm with polished original concrete floors leading to exposed brick walls and 12-foot windows. A 20 ft. hangar ceiling sports a stunning salvaged 12-foot chandelier centerpiece in front of a beautiful custom bar. Floor-to-ceiling subway tiles complement our large family-style tables constructed from reclaimed timber to complete the look. The lobby/loft areas pull in more brick with wooden accents and modern steel railings to add to the amazing look of your event. The space is an open canvas for whatever design you can imagine!
