    We rented Hangout Lighting's event space for our wedding, and they exceeded our expectations. Their communication was fast and simple, making the process of booking and coordinating very easy. The lighting and decor included was absolutely beautiful and they offered it all at a great price. The space is multi-functional and versatile, with unique and stunning lighting that made the venue feel warm and intimate. The included furniture also made the space feel welcoming and comfortable for our guests. We couldn't have been happier with Hangout Lighting and highly recommend them for any special occasion.

    Hangout Lighting was a fantastic choice for our wedding reception venue. Jen's communication throughout the planning process was extremely prompt and helpful. I was looking for a space that was already partially decorated and set up, one that had some indoor and outdoor space, as well as one that allowed us to bring in any vendors of our choosing. Hangout Lighting delivered on all these points. We loved the lighting (of course!) and that the beautiful farmhouse tables and chairs were already perfectly in place. Jen offered a lot of flexibility in the timing of the day as well, so we could choose the number of hours that fit our event. I wish we could have celebrated past the 10pm last call and, looking back, might have started our event earlier in the evening to have more time. But all of the rules and guidance were extremely well communicated ahead of time, so we knew what we were getting into. The free street parking was plentiful, and the location worked great for us. Very glad we were able to celebrate our wedding at Hangout Lighting during the first year that they were hosting events in the space, as I think we got a great deal as well, having compared prices with some similar places in the area. Thanks Jen and staff!

    My husband and I were looking for a wedding venue for our June wedding and stumbled on this location based off other Zola reviews and we are so grateful we did. The venue is absolutely beautiful. Its everything I wanted in terms of it being and open rustic vibe. We added very little decor to the space because the space is beautiful in its own right. We got so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was and the patio space. We had both our ceremony and reception here. Jen was a joy to work with. She was super responsive easy to communicate with and answered revert single question I had. Would highly reccomend if you’re looking for a beautiful open ceremony/reception space. You will not be disappointed.

    This venue is so gorgeous without any added decor thanks to the unique lighting! If you're working on a budget for your wedding, this space will be perfect for you. The host (Jen) allows you to bring your own drinks and food. She does ask that any bartending staff and waitstaff be insured, but anyone reputable that you'd trust to help with your event should be! The location is easy to get to for guests, but it is up one flight of stairs! Jen has some basics available for use (water dispensers, etc.) In addition to lovely farm tables, a big bar, and a really lovely backdrop (as you can see in pics). My guests loved the deck space and everyone said the layout of the space was really conducive to getting folks on the dance floor, but also making it easy to get to the bar and the buffet table.
