The Edison Downtown just hosted my daughter’s wedding on 8/24/24. From start to finish it was a very classy thanks to management and staff that run this amazing venue. There was nothing that was left to chance, from the wedding ceremony to the cocktail hour, and finally the dinner. The food was beyond amazing; not only was it cooked to perfection, but it was in amazingly large portions. The owner is very involved in every aspect, and that gives you an amazing event. Even the pricing is in line with other venues in the area. I cannot thank The Edison Downtown enough for making my daughter’s special day just that!

We rented The Edison Downtown for a music event recording and the space is absolutely beautiful. Every room has such character to it we hardly had to do anything for decor. Everything was clean and they provided everything we asked for at a great price. The people from The Edison were super easy to work with and very helpful the day of. I would 10/10 work with them again.

My husband and I had a beautiful wedding at The Edison Downtown! It is a unique industrial venue great for a small or large wedding. All of our guests loved the food so much from Seasons Catering; I was very specific about the wine I wanted and they allowed me to swap out my choices for a few which was very helpful. The bridal suite upstairs is stunning, and honestly a life saver. Jena was my coordinator and she went above and beyond for me!
