No shuttle, no gap, no two-hour hole in the middle of your day. Say your vows in the Theatre, walk your guests into the Lobby Bar for cocktails, and come back to a room that has been turned over while you were outside having photographs taken. One booking, one building, the same venue for both halves of the day.
“As the night evolved, we migrated through the rooms from cocktails to dessert.”
Your guests are in the Lobby Bar with a drink and the doors closed behind them. Our team resets the Theatre. You are on the front steps having photos taken.
The Theatre has elevated seating, so sightlines work from the back row, and wireless microphones run through Sonos for the vows and the speeches.
The lighting is colour-adjustable and the team walks through colours and music with you beforehand — a past client called that out by name in their review.
Nobody gets in a car between the vows and the last song.
Between the two stone lions and through the colonnade. The photos start before anyone is seated.
Elevated seating so everyone actually sees. Wireless mics so everyone hears the vows. Doors close behind your guests.
Full bar, chandeliers, original wood. Your guests never leave the building — and you are outside on the steps having photos taken.
Our team flips the room for dinner while cocktails run next door. Nobody is asked to stand in a hallway.
Plated or family style, out of the building's own kitchen. Speeches on the same microphones the ceremony used.
Lighting drops to your colours, the Sonos takes over, and the bar carries the end of the evening.
“Excellent event space. Tastefully decorated and a great overall experience.”
“The minute you walk inside, you can feel the aura seep out the walls. This place is stunning.”
The ceremony kit is already in the building. Nothing on this list is a rental line.
“Beautiful facility with a main meeting room and breakout rooms. The speaker system is excellent.”
An 1880 heritage building with original wood, ornate chandeliers, marble and coloured lighting. Couples arrive with flowers and a cake.
Venue, open bar, catering, AV, furniture, staff and parking quoted together. One team, one invoice, one point of contact.

“A Dream Venue Come True. From the very first moment we stepped into Den1880 and met our hostess Paige, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding. Den1880 is an exquisite blend of class, glam, and grace — everything we could have hoped for and more. The lighting is soft and romantic, the plush furniture adds comfort and elegance, the marble counters and high-end bathrooms elevate the feel of luxury, and the open space with thoughtfully curated décor meant we didn’t have to bring in a single extra item. But what truly set this venue apart was Paige. Kind, generous, thoughtful, and incredibly organized — Paige went above and beyond every step of the way. She anticipated our needs before we even voiced them and ensured our wedding day was seamless and perfect. Her care and dedication were felt not only by us but by our guests, who couldn’t stop raving about both the venue and the atmosphere she helped create. We received so many compliments and countless people saying they wished they had discovered Den1880 sooner. Paige and her team were flawless. We are forever grateful.”
“Delta Phi Nu recently hosted our annual Blue Diamond Banquet in March. As the philanthropy officer, it was my duty to plan it including the venue so I booked a tour with Paige at Den 1880. Ever since we walked in, it was stunning on the outside and even more on the inside. There was gorgeous furniture, coloured lighting and unique architecture. We fell in love instantly and dreamed of hosting our banquet there. Paige was so kind and helpful when we were planning and provided us with wonderful recommendations and suggestions. We communicated for weeks prior to the event and I could not be more grateful for the support I received from her. On the big day, Paige and her team were so attentive and helpful for set-up, during the banquet and clean-up. We had some small issues arise during set-up but Paige gave me suggestions that not only fixed them but elevated them. Her team also discussed music and lighting colour choices with us; which I really appreciated because it gave the perfect touch during the event. It was such a beautiful banquet and I could not be more pleased with how it turned out. I hope to host our future banquets here again!”
