The Highline

The Highline is a historic wedding venue located in Rochester, New York. Housed in a former Cadillac showroom from 1925, the space has been lovingly transformed into a bright, modern special event venue. The establishment is owned by sisters Jessica Klein and Alyssa Cohen, who boast a combined 30 years of experience in the event industry. This duo adores hosting once-in-a-lifetime celebrations that leave a lasting impression on all in attendance.

Facilities and Capacity

The Highline is comprised of 2 spaces, The North + The South Ballrooms. The North & South are separated by a private hallway & can be enjoyed individually or in tandem.

The Highline South, the more spacious of the 2 Ballrooms, boasts vintage styled lighting that illuminate herringbone wood flooring, hand crafted millwork & exposed brick walls. Brass elements throughout give way to stunning wood columns & towering windows that flood natural light into this stunning Ballroom. Architectural elements merge past with present intertwining historic with modern, making this an unparalleled backdrop for your event.

The Highline North is currently undergoing a complete renovation that will be conducted by the same creatives that developed The Highline South Ballroom. The South will have a slightly more dramatic flair than its sister space, with matte black elements that mirror the aesthetic finishes of the North Ballroom. Original antique-tin-tile ceilings & millwork adorning the walls bring touches of elegance to the industrial-exposed beam pillars & polished concrete floors. The renovation of the North space is projected to be complete before the end of 2021. The event calendar for the North Ballroom will open in 2022.

Also located on the property is a dressing suite for the wedding party to use to get ready before the event.
