Venue Setting

Finished in 1899, the Columbia building was the last building built on the first block of E. State Street and has been utilized for gatherings both large and small. Located on Redland's iconic State Street, this historic gem has been closed for use since 1948. Speakeasy on State offers 4000 square feet of elegance, mixed with beautiful hardwoods, raw exposed brick, and the finest period specific details - found nowhere else in town. Proudly representing the heartbeat of downtown Redlands, Speakeasy on State boasts two large gathering rooms, each with their own distinct feel, a bridal suite, restrooms, and a preparation kitchen. Opposite the entrance, Speakeasy on State lets out into the charming City of Redlands Alley Park, perfect for outdoor socializing. The grand ballroom still has the working prohibition light from the 1920's era.

Venue Features
The scene:
Our space exudes elegance and class. You enter to a long wide staircases with 100 year old brick to your right. The first room you enter we call our "Columbia room" It has the original brick advertisement from the late 1800's and was recently uncovered by a restoration expert. The original ceiling medallions have been pieced back together and restored. This room has large double hung Windows that bring in light perfect for capturing that perfect photo.

Our Grand ballroom is entered through the original door with two holes (one for the password and one for the shotgun) keeping with that original speakeasy history. This room boasts tall vaulted ceilings, original hardwood and wainscoting, Edison lighting, and rare double blade ceiling fans.
Design:
Every feature of the space has been restored back to its original condition as much as possible. Everything from the doorways, to windows, to pieces of molding all retain their original shape and character. Everything from marble to period specific chandeliers, the Speakeasy offers history along with beauty.
Standout venue features:
We host many themed parties throughout the year. We most recently hosted a Gatsby themed party and it was a huge success and so much fun!
Extra perks:
We have a custom made copper bar and arch that are included with all inclusive packages.

2017's Hottest New Venues Across The Globe
You can have the most fun life. It’s not as hard as you might think. To enjoy an extraordinary time in this world, it’s largely a matter of who’s around you, what you have, and where you are. Naturally, the best move on your part, if those things have lined up well, is to throw a party—any kind of party, from cocktail hour to wedding. Alas, seeking out the perfect spot to host the best day/night ever can be a challenge. But that’s where we come in. Truly, we at the Venue Report think that finding a new place to celebrate all that existence has to offer is one of the most exciting things anyone can do. So to keep the good times rolling, we compiled a super-list of sorts, laying out the greatest venue openings of last year and the most exciting ones set for this year. We hope you peruse, explore, and, most of all, have fun!  Want more? 2019's Hottest New Openings Across the Globe is now live →  By: Jake Kilroy | Venue: Light Lab
