The 1859 - Amazing Event Venue

The 1859 event venue was absolutely perfect for our rehearsal dinner. The size of the event space and areas for the caterer allowed for great service and no inconvenience to the guests.  The island allowed for a carving station at one end, and a pasta station at the other, with all of the other side dishes in the middle – it was perfect! The perfect set up for food, bar and decorations made for a very elegant evening. The staff was extremely helpful, as well.

An Absolute Dream!

Having my wedding and reception at the 1859 was truly a dream come true! From the moment I walked in, I knew no other venue could compare. Every interaction with Kate (the owner) just made it better and better. She was extremely helpful every step of the way, answering all my questions and patiently guiding me through my options to ensure it would be a personalized and memorable day. The wedding and reception could not have gone smoother! Kate and her staff were an amazing support and took care of everything down to the tiniest of details. I did not have to stress or worry about anything. It was the most welcoming and beautiful environment. I am deeply blessed and grateful for such a wonderful experience!
