The Solstice Room: A Wedding Venue for Up to 100 Seated Guests
A bank branch, reborn as a venue
This room used to be the retail branch of a bank headquarters. The bank is gone, but the glass is still here. With floor-to-ceiling windows, glass doors, high ceilings, and white walls, the room itself does most of the décor work for you. It can hold up to 100 seated or 150 standing.
Getting married in the Solstice Room
As a wedding venue, the Solstice Room can handle your ceremony, your reception, or both. Tables and chairs are included, you design the décor. If you want to be outside, the furnished Terrace sits next to the room.
And right beside the Terrace is our outdoor ceremony site, with a pergola for the couple to stand under. Trees are the view, and it’s beautiful. It too can hold up to 100 people. After the ceremony, the Terrace is good for cocktails, and our Lounge can be set up for cocktails too, so guests have another place to stand around with a drink.
Other events
The Solstice Room can also host rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, showers, brunches, birthdays, and company events. Seat 100 for a dinner, or let 150 stand for a cocktail party.

The Terrace and outdoor ceremony site
From a couple who married here
We were fortunate to select Sentient Workspace as the venue for our wedding that took place two days ago, and the experience exceeded all expectations. We were given multiple opportunities to visit the space, take measurements, and fully envision our setup. Melissa provided a variety of package options and thoughtfully incorporated our ideas to help make our wedding truly unique. Additionally, Jailyn created both a seating chart and a 3D layout, allowing us to clearly visualize the arrangement in advance. We also chose their recommended bartender, Jen, and could not be more pleased with that decision. She guided us through a detailed list of necessary items and quantities, ensuring everything was perfectly planned and executed. On the day of the event, the on-site attendant offered exceptional support, making certain every detail ran smoothly. Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more. We are incredibly grateful to Melissa and the entire team for making our special day feel effortless and truly unforgettable.
