Iconic Loft Wedding & Event Venue
Welcome to 815
Life in Full Color
Once a place where pigments were mixed and matched for the world, 815 continues to be a space where color comes alive—now through laughter, love, and celebration. The same walls that once held cans of paint now echo with music and joy as people gather to mark their most cherished milestones. Today, this former factory tells a new story: one of creativity, connection, and beautifully lived moments.
At 815, we believe life is art—and every event is a brushstroke. Here, you’re invited to paint your world.
Historic Character. Contemporary Comfort.
At 815, every detail reflects a deep respect for history and a thoughtful approach to modern event design. The industrial textures—brick, wood, steel—remain intact, enhanced by soft lighting and elegant finishes that create warmth and sophistication. Each floor of the venue offers a distinct experience, allowing events to flow naturally—from cocktail hour in the lounge to dinner and dancing beneath chandeliers in the main hall. Whether you’re planning something intimate or grand, classic or contemporary, 815 is a space designed to bring your vision to life.
Space to flow, gather, and celebrate
