Sarah, the owner and creative producer of Shades of Teal Creative Co, began this venture in 2017. Initially conceived as a vintage furniture rental service, her dream for the business soon grew into something far more expansive. Sarah hoped to create a brick-and-mortar space where she could house her collection of retro rentals. She also envisioned couples using this space to host their own special ceremonies, making good use of her extensive catalog. This vision became a reality in 2019, broadening the horizon for the creative opportunities Sarah could pursue with her clients. In 2023, Ashley joined forces with Sarah to include Day Of Coordination with all events!

One of the venue’s primary functions is to host pop-up weddings, an ingenious idea that Sarah is truly passionate about. With this refreshing twist on your traditional ceremony, couples are invited to pick a date, a theme and Sarah and her staff will take care of the rest. Using their range of decor, they will beautify the downtown space, perfectly merging the minimalist industrialism of the building with carefully curated vintage style. Then, all that’s required of the couple is to show up with their chosen officiant, two of their loved ones and prepare to be wed. The duration of your average service is condensed down to an easy 90-minutes, relieving you of the stress of ceremony coordination. A photography session following your event is included in the basic wedding package, as are accouterments like bouquets and boutonnieres. These accessories are curated by this venue’s thoughtful staff. Along with this, you will be provided with a sweetheart cake as well as donuts and fruit for you and your guests to share. Further upgrades include seating for extra guests to attend the event, get-ready-rooms at the property and videography coverage of the romantic service. If you’d like to keep the party going in this stylish location, the space is available to rent out for reception parties.
