The Warehouse

The Warehouse is a small event venue in historic downtown Van Wert, Ohio, suited to organisers planning intimate gatherings and business events. Its renovated space is part of a historic building dating to around 1861, with original brickwork, a brick archway, a tin ceiling, wood floors and custom lighting. The characterful setting can be used for celebrations, meetings and a range of small-scale functions.

The venue welcomes events such as bridal and baby showers, rehearsal dinners, holiday gatherings, graduation and retirement celebrations, and small weddings. It also hires its space for business meetings and dinners, vendor pop-up sales, photography sessions, classes and other small business events. The room can accommodate up to 60 guests, making it a practical option for planners seeking a more personal setting rather than a large function hall.

Room hire includes tables and chairs, two restrooms and access to a kitchenette and preparation area. The kitchenette has a refrigerator and freezer, microwave, sink and prep space. Organisers may bring their own food and drinks, including alcohol for guests aged 21 and over. The venue also offers optional decor hire, with items such as backdrop stands, table runners, centrepieces and serving pieces available for an additional fee.

For weddings, the venue offers a dedicated micro-wedding option for up to 60 guests, with the choice of a ceremony-only booking or a ceremony and reception. The space is on one level, has an entrance ramp and accessible restrooms. The Warehouse is available by appointment, so organisers should contact the venue to discuss dates and arrangements.
