At Studio 215, we offer the ultimate flexibility for your event layout. Choose exclusive access to our grand Main Studio, or elevate your experience by renting the entire building. When you reserve the full venue, you gain the Little Studio—the perfect versatile partner to your main event. It serves as an intimate setting for ceremonies of 100 guests or fewer, or transforms into the ideal dedicated cocktail hour space for larger celebrations, allowing for a seamless transition and a stunning "grand reveal" of your reception.

To ensure your wedding day feels like a celebration rather than a race against the clock, we offer generous rental windows tailored to your schedule:

• Weekend Celebrations (Friday–Sunday): Enjoy a flat 12-hour rental. This gives you ample time for hair and makeup, vendor setup, and a full night of dancing without ever feeling rushed.

• Weekday Weddings (Monday–Thursday): We offer flexible 10-hour or 12-hour options, allowing you to choose the timeframe that best fits your vision and budget.

By providing these extended hours, we ensure you can soak in every moment of your "I do" and beyond.

At Studio 215, we believe the hours leading up to your "I do" should be just as memorable as the ceremony itself. Our two expansive, upscale dressing suites are designed to provide a calm, stylish, and functional sanctuary for you and your wedding party to prepare for the spotlight.

• Designed for Beauty: Optimized with thoughtful details and large mirrors, these suites are a dream for hair and makeup teams and provide a stunning backdrop for "getting ready" photos.

• Spacious & Comfortable: Large enough to accommodate your entire inner circle, our suites feature plush seating and dedicated climate control to keep everyone cool and collected.

• Privacy & Proximity: Tucked away within our building, these sanctuaries keep you hidden from arriving guests while remaining just steps away from your grand entrance.

More than just a changing room, our suites are your private home base for the day—crafted to make you feel like a VIP from the moment you arrive.

We believe your time should be spent on the details that matter, not on heavy lifting. That’s why all of our tables (round and rectangular) and elegant Chiavari chairs are included in your rental.

The best part? We handle the heavy lifting for you. Your custom floor plan will be fully set up and ready for your arrival, ensuring you can walk right in and start bringing your vision to life. By taking the setup off your plate, we make sure you get the most out of every minute of your rental.

Our private enclosed patio offers a seamless indoor-outdoor experience for you and your guests. It’s a favorite for soaking up warm Southern nights, whether you’re hosting a cigar bar, setting up cornhole, or capturing moonlit photographs. This versatile open-air retreat adds an extra layer of charm and fresh air to any celebration.

At Studio 215, we believe your wedding should be as unique as your love story. That’s why we offer complete vendor flexibility, giving you the creative freedom to hand-pick the team that perfectly fits your vision and budget.

Whether you have a specific caterer in mind or a favorite local mixologist, we welcome your chosen professionals into our space to help bring your dream to life.

• A Note on Service: To ensure a seamless and safe experience, all catering and bar services must be insured and approved. To make your planning even easier, we maintain an extensive pre-approved list of top-tier local professionals who already know and love our space! If you have a different insured vendor in mind, just let us know—we are always happy to walk you through the simple process of getting them added to the team.

Add a layer of architectural interest and extra "breathing room" to your event with our two indoor mezzanines. These elevated balconies overlook the Main Studio, offering your guests a bird’s-eye view of the celebration and providing a stunning vantage point for your photographer.

• The Iconic Spiral Staircase: Our primary mezzanine features a striking black spiral staircase—the ultimate spot for grand entrances or high-fashion bridal portraits.

• Versatile Extra Space: These balconies are a favorite for creating intimate lounge areas, hosting a DJ for an elevated sound experience, or setting up a unique photo booth station that stays out of the way of the dance floor.

Whether you use them for additional seating or as a secret "VIP" hideaway, our mezzanines add a level of dimension and "wow" factor that you won't find in a standard ballroom.

ne of the most beloved features of the Main Studio is our giant chalkboard wall. This floor-to-ceiling focal point serves as a massive, interactive canvas for your personality to shine through. Whether you want to hire a local lettering artist for a high-end look or keep it playful and DIY, it is a guaranteed conversation starter for your guests.

How our couples love to use it:

• The Ultimate Photo Backdrop: Create a custom "step and repeat" with your names, wedding date, or a favorite quote for the perfect selfie station.

• A Statement Seating Chart: Skip the paper waste and write your guest list directly on the wall for a bold, organized, and easy-to-read display.

• An Interactive Guest Book: Leave out a basket of chalk and let your loved ones leave heartfelt messages and doodles throughout the night.

This isn't just a wall—it’s a piece of living decor that ensures your wedding day feels entirely, authentically you.

In the heart of historic downtown, we know that easy access is the key to a smooth start for your event. Unlike many urban venues, Studio 215 provides two private parking lots located immediately adjacent to the building.

Best of all? Our parking is completely complementary for you and your guests. From the moment your loved ones arrive, they can enjoy the convenience of on-site parking without the hassle of street meters or public garages. It’s just one more way we ensure your experience is seamless, sophisticated, and stress-free from start to finish.

Add a lush, vibrant touch to your celebration with our permanent 12ft wide x 9ft tall boxwood greenery wall. This stunning architectural feature provides a timeless, organic backdrop that brings the beauty of the outdoors inside.

Designed to be as versatile as it is beautiful, the wall is the perfect canvas for your personal touch. Our couples love to customize it with:

• Custom Neon Signage: Make your new last name or a favorite quote glow against the deep green foliage.

• Floral Accents: Weave in fresh blooms that match your wedding palette for a high-end, multidimensional look.

• Photo Galleries: Use it as a unique "memory wall" to display snapshots of your love story through the years.

Whether you use it as a lounge area or a dedicated photo booth station, this grand greenery wall ensures your photos are nothing short of iconic.

Our large, rolling planter boxes with tall topiary trees are perfect for creating a "faux wall" for ceremonies, hiding a transition, or adding a touch of nature to the industrial brick.

We believe your bar service should be as stylish as the rest of your décor. Studio 215 provides two custom mobile bars that perfectly complement our industrial-chic aesthetic. Crafted with sleek black metal fronts and warm wood tops, these bars are designed to be both functional and a statement piece.

Because they are mobile, you have the ultimate flexibility to position your beverage service exactly where it flows best for your floor plan—whether that’s tucked into a cozy corner of the Little Studio or front-and-center in the Main Studio for the reception.

We’ve designed a dedicated space for your culinary team to ensure service is seamless:

• Granite Countertops: Plenty of clean, durable surface area for plating and prep.

• Convenient Access: Our prep kitchen is tucked away to keep the "behind-the-scenes" magic hidden from your guests while remaining easily accessible for your catering team.

At Studio 215, we believe the only thing that should take your breath away is the beauty of your ceremony—not the temperature. While our building celebrates its 1937 industrial heritage, our infrastructure is purely modern.

We have equipped our entire facility with a high-capacity, commercial-grade HVAC system designed to handle the unpredictable North Carolina climate.

• Summer Celebrations: Even on the most humid southern afternoons, our cooling system maintains a crisp, refreshing atmosphere throughout the Main Studio, Little Studio, and all private suites.

• Winter Gatherings: During cooler months, our heating system ensures the expansive vaulted ceilings and brick walls radiate a cozy, inviting warmth for you and your guests.

Whether it’s a mid-July gala or a December vow renewal, you can rest assured that your guests will remain perfectly comfortable from the first toast to the final dance.

To ensure your day runs smoothly from start to finish, a dedicated Studio 215 event host will be on-site for the entire duration of your rental. Think of them as your venue's "inner circle"—there to oversee the facility, assist with any questions and ensure every architectural detail is performing perfectly. From the moment the doors open until the last guest departs, our team is there to provide expert support and peace of mind, allowing you to stay present in every moment of your celebration.
