Planning an event in a neutral space is one of the best creative opportunities you’ll get. While some venues come with a distinct theme or style, a blank, open venue offers you something even better: a totally customizable canvas. Whether you’re planning a wedding, party, business event, or pop-up market, here’s how to transform a simple venue into something unforgettable.
Start with a Vision
Before you bring in anything, get clear on your vision. Think about the overall vibe you want your event to have—elegant, rustic, cozy, modern, playful, professional? Once you have that mood in mind, it’s easier to make decisions on décor, lighting, and layout.
Use Lighting to Set the Tone
Lighting makes a huge difference. One of the perks of our indoor space is the soft, natural lighting during the day, plus bistro lighting that adds instant charm in the evening. You can bring in additional string lights, lanterns, uplighting, or candles to match your event's tone and time of day. Even a small lighting change can make the space feel warm, dramatic, or whimsical.
Create “Zones” for Flow and Function
In an open floor plan, organizing your space into zones can really help with the event flow. Here are a few ideas:
- Reception area: for greeting guests and checking people in.
- Main gathering space: for seating, dining, or presentations.
- Photo backdrop or decor wall: a fun spot for pictures and branding.
- Food and drink area: buffet tables, drink stations, or dessert bars.
- Entertainment/dance floor: yes, there’s plenty of room!
Using rugs, furniture groupings, or even simple pipe-and-drape dividers can help define each section without building physical walls.
Let Décor Do the Talking
This is where your personality really shines through. You can go bold with colors or keep it clean and minimal—either way, our neutral interior makes it easy for your design to pop. Bring in greenery, floral arrangements, banners, or custom signage. The flexibility of the space means it works with literally any aesthetic.
Don't Forget the Details
Little touches go a long way. Things like table settings, lounge furniture, scent (think fresh florals or essential oils), and curated playlists all add to the overall feel. Think about what guests will see, hear, and feel when they walk in.
Your Event, Your Way
One of the biggest advantages of booking an indoor, blank canvas venue is that you’re not boxed into someone else’s style or layout. You get full control—and our space was designed with that in mind. From private parties to creative workshops to full-scale weddings, the possibilities are endless.
