Engagement parties, award ceremonies, baby showers, family reunions, birthdays & fundraisers… We believe that each one not only deserves to be celebrated, but meticulously executed. Celebrate all of life’s occasions within 1881’s premier party event space.
At 1881, you can rest assured we make every event a special event. Share your vision, then let our expert team customize our versatile venue to bring it to life. Our collaborative event staff committed to extraordinary Hospitality, Service, and Place Making, our open vendor policy, and our surrounding hotels make it easy to work within your budget to create the event – and experience – of your dreams.
For you and your guests’ convenience, our 1881 campus includes two hotels in addition to two nearby sister properties that guarantee you priority booking.
Our iconic, and onsite, farm-to-table restaurant, Heirloom, will collaborate with you to craft a delicious and thoughtful F&B menu that celebrates your vision and keeps the party going.
From ballrooms to boardrooms, you have almost 19,000 sq. ft. of flexible space in a bright, neutral aesthetic to choose from and then customize to your occasion.
From our experienced team of event wizards to our all-inclusive model, we think of every detail so you can focus on what’s most important: being in the moment.
Absolutely! We only ask that no décor or personal items be attached to the walls, ceilings, airwalls, or any fixtures within 1881. Please ensure that all décor installations are freestanding, and avoid using any loose glitter or confetti.
1881 events are exclusively catered by our onsite restaurant Heirloom, and all alcoholic beverages must be provided by 1881 Event Hall. To accommodate our guests fully, we are happy to provide custom menus upon request. Outside vendors are not permitted as an alternative to our catering service, unless a cuisine with cultural preparation is required, and that exemption must be approved by management prior to booking. Outside vendors must be reputable catering services and able to provide a copy of their business license and insurance. We do however allow our guests to bring their own dessert.
Yes. Thanks to our partnership with three neighboring hotels, ample complimentary parking is at your disposal for your event. You will find two lots in front of the event hall and an additional one at the rear for your convenience.
