Illume Venue is a renovated, 100+ year old church that provides rentable spaces for all kinds of events - weddings, receptions, galas, fundraisers, anniversaries - so that the local community (and beyond) can create interdependence through shared and special moments on this campus.
With flexible floor plans, an upper and lower hall, vaulted ceilings, and original windows, Illume Venue is a place where people can gather, celebrate, and create meaningful connections and memories.
Built in 1923, this three-story facility contains a variety of spaces suitable for your event needs. This historic, vibrant church building includes arched windows, vaulted ceilings, and abundant wood detailing - all newly rejuvenated with updated lighting, sound systems, restrooms, and accessibility. Like most churches, this building was built to be a place where people gather to connect over what matters to them. Illume Venue continues that mission - for everybody. We’re excited to open the doors to the next 100 years of connection and memory-making.
