ABOUT THE VENUE SPACE
UPTOWN SOCIAL IS A WEDDING VENUE, PRIVATE EVENT VENUE, AND OFFERS LIVE ENTERTAINMENT TO THE PUBLIC! OUR VENUE WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT AS A CHURCH IN 1867. IT HAS SINCE HAD MANY USES, AND UNDERWENT A TOTAL RENOVATION INSIDE AND OUT IN 2020 MAKING IT A PREMIER VENUE FOR WEDDINGS AND EVENTS IN NORTHWEST INDIANA.
HISTORIC BALLROOM
OUR HISTORIC BALLROOM FEATURES A 40 FOOT CEILING WITH A WRAPAROUND BALCONY OVERLOOKING THE MAIN FLOOR. COLUMNS BORDER THE MAIN FLOOR SOARING TO THE ROUNDED CEILING. THE BACK OF THE BALLROOM HAS THE THREE ORIGINAL ENTRYWAYS AND 15 FOOT DOORS. ALL NEW SOUND AND LIGHTING WERE INSTALLED IN 2020 FOR COUPLES TO PERSONALIZE THEIR EXPERIENCE, AND FOR LIVE ENTERTAINMENT TO RIVAL LARGER CONCERT VENUES!
BALLROOM HALLWAY
THE HALLWAY AND STAIRS BEFORE THE BALLROOM ARE A FAVORITE FOR PHOTOS. WE RESORED THE ORIGINAL MOSAIC FLOOR FROM THE CHURCH TO PRESERVE THE ANTIQUE CHARM. CURVING STAIRCASES FLANK BOTH ENDS OF THE HALLWAY UP TO THE BALCONY. CRYSTAL CHANDELIERS CROWN EACH ARCHED DOORWAY INTO THE BALLROOM.
MAIN HALLWAY
THE WELCOMING AREA AND HALLWAY HAVE BEEN RESTORED TO THEIR ORIGINAL BRICK AND ACCENTED WITH BLACK SCONCES TO TRANSPORT YOU BACK IN TIME. THIS AREA WAS ORIGINALLY OUTSIDE THE CHURCH BEFORE THE CHURCH AND RECTORY WERE JOINED INTO ONE BUILDING.
COURTYARD
THE COURTYARD IS BETWEEN THE BALLROOM AND THE ORIGINAL RECTORY BUILDING. GUESTS CAN TAKE A BREAK FROM THE WEDDING OR CONCERT AND ENJOY THIS OUTDOOR SPACE.
BAR/LOUNGE
THE BAR/LOUNGE IS JUST OFF THE MAIN HALLWAY CONNECTING THE ORIGINAL BUILDINGS. WE HAVE A ROUNDED BAR STOCKED AND READY TO SERVE YOUR GUESTS. ON THE WALL WE HAVE A TV THAT CAN BE HOOKED UP TO SHOW YOUR WEDDING CEREMONY AND RECEPTION IF YOU’D LIKE!
BRIDAL SUITES
UPSTAIRS WE HAVE OUR BRIDAL SUITES. THE MAIN BRIDAL SUITE HAS AN EN SUITE BATHROOM WITH A SHOWER. WE HAVE A CLASSIC WOODEN BAR IN THE CORNER READY FOR YOUR MIMOSA BAR AND TREATS! COFFEE IS AVAILABLE AS WELL FROM OUR KEURIG.
THE SMALLER BRIDAL SUITE HAS A BATHROOM JUST OUTSIDE AND CONNECTS TO THE WALKWAY ABOVE THE COURTYARD AND TO THE MAIN STAGE.
