The Perfect Wedding Venue – Timeless, Unique, and Unforgettable

From the moment we stepped into Upstairs, we knew it was the place we wanted to say “I do.” This venue is an absolute gem — a flawless mix of vintage industrial charm and modern elegance that creates an atmosphere unlike anywhere else.

The exposed brick, original wood beams, and thoughtful architectural details give Upstairs a warm, romantic vibe, while the contemporary amenities make it comfortable and convenient for both couples and guests. It’s rare to find a space that feels so historic and character-filled, yet still functions seamlessly for a modern event.

The team at Upstairs was incredible — professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day everything we envisioned. They took care of every detail, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the experience. Our guests were blown away by the unique aesthetic and welcoming ambiance, and we’ve heard so many compliments since the big day.

If you’re looking for a venue that feels personal, stylish, and full of heart, Upstairs is it. We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful or meaningful place to begin our next chapter. Highly, highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a wedding at The Upstairs (formerly Oakley Kitchen), and I cannot say enough wonderful things.

The staff at The Upstairs were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. From the start, my best friend felt like she was working with family. The planning process was stress-free, thanks to Ann, who was an absolute dream to work with. She did everything in her power to make sure the couple's vision came to life exactly as they had dreamed.
