Venue Setting

You’re THE BRIDE, we’re THE BAUER, and we’re meant for each other! We have a charming, vintage-style event space on a unique city block with an incredible, top-story view of our downtown skyline, and we know you’ll love it here. In 1894, The Bauer Machine Works Building began manufacturing engines, buggies, wagons and surreys. Now, our building features galleries, artists’ studios, arts-inspired retail and services, and, of course, our one-of-a-kind event space. The brand new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts glimmers through our windows just one block north, and local galleries, restaurants and shops are peppered throughout the neighborhood. We’d love for you to be a part of our creative family, and we can’t wait to talk to you more about your event!

50 Industrial Warehouse Venues Across The USA
We love to find unique & new types of venues everywhere we go. Whether you’re hosting a small gathering over dinner or going all-out and setting off an all-night dance party, we’ve put together the best warehouses, lofts, studios, canneries, and factories where getting your people together is a must. With massive windows, soaring ceiling heights, cement floors, and tons and tons of exposed brick, these party spots are industrial gold.   From boutique salt purveyors in Portland to an old macaroni factory in Chicago, there’s really something for everyone and a bit of a story to be told about each of these wildly different American venues.   Reporter: Alyssa Brown | Venue: Luce Loft Visiting london anytime soon?
