2016 Main and its staff turned out to be inimitable pieces of what made our wedding absolutely perfect. From the very first meeting with its dutiful and accommodating owner, all through the assisted planning and design processes, to the last time we shook hands at the conclusion of our joyous reception, this venue served as a modern yet versatile space that gave us senses of both security and excitement for the big day.
My wife and I were fortunate enough to reserve 2016 Main for both our ceremony and reception. Nicolas, new yet experienced management, worked in a flawless balance to oversee the integration of 2016 Main's top-notch sound system with our DJs. Bar packages including staff worked with the venue through his company, Sidecar Cocktail Catering Co. The owner also facilitated discounts through a professional partnership with Brancato's Catering. Lot parking, private security, vendor coordination, you name it. Any time that we had questions, Nicolas had solutions.
2016 Main offers everything you need to make your wedding successful and everything you could want to make it unforgettable.

2016 Main was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception in Nov. 2022. Pat and Jodi, the venue owners, were an absolute pleasure to work with from the beginning, and my husband-to-be and I felt an instant connection with them. We used Elite Sounds for the DJ, by Pat's recommendation, and they were also an amazing choice, who knew the venue well, and the sound system was great for isolating the music when need-be on the dance floor so that others in the other part of the venue could hear better. Pat provided great recommendations as we planned for the day, including how to set up the tables (squares vs. rounds), tablecloths, wine/beer selections, where to set up the food/buffet, parking, etc. He knows his venue, and it was great to have someone we could trust. We were able to get in at 10:30 a.m. in the morning, and were out before midnight, and the day was a breeze because of all of our coordination. Pat was responsive, easy to work with and available on the day, and utterly kind throughout the process. We even had a mishap with one of our floating vases on the floor after the ceremony (someone tripped and it broke and spilled!) and he caused no major fuss and he and his team cleaned it right up. The venue itself is also stunning – from the greenery wall, to the brick walls that can be customized with artwork of your own to the white 3D wall perfect for photo-ops – and Pat was amenable to all of our ideas as we were developing our "aesthetic." We couldn't have found a more perfect venue.

You can stop looking for a venue - 2016 Main is IT!! When we first walked in to this space, I knew right away that I wanted to get married there! It is STUNNING. Exposed brick, hardwood floors, greenery wall, gorgeous decorative white wall, artwork...you name it, they've got it! You probably didn't realize that you want a collage wall filled with formal dog portraits at your wedding, but I can assure you that YOU DO, and 2016 Main has it! We loved this space for so many reasons, but a big deciding factor was because we didn't have to rent any extras! I'm not exaggerating when I say that all we did was add flowers and votives on the tables, rent some linens, and the space looked fully decorated and GORGEOUS! My pictures are beautiful and so so elegant! The owners, Pat and Jodi, will forever be 2 of my very favorite people. They are SO MUCH FUN! They are laid back and will make you feel relaxed and at ease, while also being extremely attentive, focused on details, and quick to communicate. I sent Pat so many questions and changed so many things, and he was always so great about it and responded right away! Pat also acted as our day-of-coordinator. He contacted all of my vendors and arranged everything. I didn't get peppered with any last minute questions from vendors and everyone showed up on time and had everything we needed! Everyone always says that something will go wrong on your wedding day, but honestly, I can't think of ANYTHING that went wrong, and I know that that is in major part due to all of Pat and Jodi's help and planning both leading up to the big day, as well as their assistance the day of! I can't stop re-living the day and looking at our pictures of the venue. Now that the wedding is over, I'm honestly trying to think up a reason to rent the space all over again just to have an excuse to hang out with Pat and Jodi and be surrounded by so much elegance and beauty again. In case I didn't drive the point home, THIS is the venue you want and THESE are the people you want helping you plan! Make your appointment ASAP and go ahead and cancel the others...this is the only space you'll need to see. Take it from the bride who toured 14 wedding venues... ;)

We would give 2016 Main 100 stars if we could. The space itself is stunning and has so many different vibes: from the white squares wall to the brick to the greenery wall, there are a variety of backdrops for photos or different vendors. We loved the elegant yet urban feel. Bar service was so quick and all of our guests loved their drinks. They made the room flip from ceremony to the reception a breeze. We loved picking out artwork from their collection to hang as extra decor on the walls too. The location is perfect with easy access to hotels right across the street, ample parking in back, and streetcar access. But most of all, the owner (Pat) was absolutely incredible working with us on changes due to covid-19. From scaling down our wedding size to adjusting the timeframe the week of our wedding due to new city restrictions, he made everything so easy despite all-time high stress levels. He made sure we still had the wedding of our dreams despite all the changes announced by the city mere days before our event. The day-of coordinator made sure everything flowed perfectly, from lighting a million candles on the tables to queuing the bridal party processional. We truly have zero complaints or regrets about 2016 Main. In fact, we originally wanted a different month for our wedding date, but ended up picking our wedding date based on 2016 Main’s availability after falling in love with the space on a tour. Little did we know that would be the best decision we made in wedding planning. We 110% recommend this venue!

This venue and the owners are everything that you could want in a wedding venue.

We had to reschedule our Jamaican wedding and plan a Kansas City wedding in about 6 months. Pat and his wife Jodi gave us recommended vendors.. and let me just say.. not a single one failed to deliver. They were all fantastic, and we couldn't have found more perfect fits for the venue (vendor wise). So take their advice!

They were professional, but also warm, inviting, and friendly. And can I say cool? Like you'll want to be friends with them. Ha!

They were able to adjust to our needs and made everything so easy for us. For a stressed-out bride.. I'd prescribe Pat and Jodi, and all at 2016 Main Event Space & Art Gallery as your right-hand crew.

You will get exactly what you want, and exactly what you paid for.

Just to give you an example.. for our bar package we wanted a signature drink requiring raspberry tea. Well.. pat couldn't find any raspberry tea at the store, so he BREWED HIS OWN with fresh iced tea and raspberries! OK, no one gives this kind of customer service anymore. Just an example of the extra mile that they will go for you.

And as a last note- if you want a contemporary, quirky, modern, yet classic and antique feel for a venue.. this is it. Look no further! All elements are there for a perfect Ceremony and Reception space.

2016 Main was the best decision I made for our wedding! Pat and Jodi are a dream to work with; even my guests commented on how great they were at the wedding and how hard they were working alongside their staff. The space is beautiful with so many unique touches. I still can't get over how many compliments we received by guests who were saying it's the coolest space they have ever been for a wedding! The location is amazing as well. We had a lot of guests traveling in from out of town and there are many hotels within walking distance, along with plenty of bars and restaurants, which makes it convenient for everyone. I can't imagine having our wedding anywhere else. I highly highly recommend using 2016 main for your event!!!

The space is gorgeous. The pricing is as clear and inclusive as you could want. Pat and Jodi were really nice and super helpful every step of the way. They were really flexible and even helped resolve issues with other vendors. Plus they threw in free extras along the way. Could not have asked for a better experience. Our families and guests were all very impressed.

2016 Main is amazing! We had our reception here this past weekend and couldn’t be happier with things. Jodi and Pat were awesome to work with from day one. They are responsive, honest, professional and genuinely kind. You can tell they truly care. I wish we could do it all over again! You will be SO happy you picked 2016 Main!

We had both our ceremony and reception at 2016 Main, and the experience was so smooth. No one noticed the clean-up from one to the other, and we got so many compliments on the venue! Pat was fantastic to work with, and had a solution for every potential problem that might come up.

Absolutely amazing event space! It was so gorgeous and the art on the walls with the exposed brick made it a truly unique and wonderful place to have our reception. Pat and the rest of the staff were attentive to every detail and absolutely went above and beyond for us to make sure every last little detail was taken care of without us needing to worry about anything. Do yourself a favor and book this event space!!
