Built for Celebration
A Venue with Character
The Grand Depot is housed in a beautifully restored 1920s train depot with soaring ceilings, exposed brick walls, and industrial steel beams. The architecture does the decorating for you.
We host events from intimate dinners for 30 to grand celebrations for 400. Our in-house team handles catering coordination, lighting design, and day-of logistics so you can focus on the moment.
