The Sidney is a content-ready, intimate event space in Woodlawn designed for celebrations that deserve to be captured. The space is ideal for styled dinners, milestone birthdays, showers, panels, talks, and creative gatherings with a refined, welcoming feel. Our events are preset experiences, meaning layouts, tables, chairs, and linens are thoughtfully arranged in advance to ensure a smooth guest experience and cohesive look from start to finish.
