Our new private events space, King and White, recently hosted a beautiful and intimate wedding for R & J. Dedicated solely to private events, King and White offers a completely private setting, unlike our bars The Circ Bar and Rabbit Hole, which reopen to the public after events. This venue is a blank canvas with a mix of industrial-historic charm, allowing each client to bring their unique vision to life.
For R & J’s wedding, the couple transformed King and White into a cozy and elegant space that perfectly reflected their style. Here’s a look at how they personalized the venue for their special day:
Ceremony and Reception Setup The wedding ceremony began in our Lounge and Roof Deck, where guests enjoyed a champagne toast. They then made their way through the Mural Courtyard and entered King and White via the side entrance. This seamless transition set the stage for a memorable celebration.
Venue Decor and Layout R & J chose a beautiful blue and yellow color scheme, which added a vibrant yet sophisticated touch to the space. The bright yellow and blue florals in clear mismatched vases, complemented by small tealights and votives, made the space feel both cozy and bright, adding a touch of warmth and elegance to the intimate wedding.
The couple chose round tables to encourage more conversation, ensuring that all guests could easily see and interact with each other, creating a warm and engaging atmosphere. A sweetheart table was placed at the top of the space, near street entrance (this door remained closed during their event) providing the perfect spot for the couple to enjoy their reception. Next to their table, they utilized one of the venue’s barrel’s for their “Welcome Table” where they had their guests drop off cards.
To keep the atmosphere relaxed and social, a couple of cocktail rounds were positioned next to the bar. This encouraged mingling and created a comfortable space for guests to enjoy drinks and conversation.
Dining and Dessert The buffet table and dessert station, featuring a wedding cake and macarons, were elegantly set up by the bank vault door. This unique backdrop added a touch of historic charm to the dining experience, enhancing the overall ambiance. This also strategically used an otherwise awkward corner in the space, allowing for maximum flow between tables.
Dancing and Entertainment With a smaller guest count, R & J didn’t need to move or break down tables for the dance floor. Instead, they set up the dance area right in front of the DJ booth, located in the corner opposite the sweetheart table. This allowed for a seamless flow of activities and ensured that guests could easily transition from dining to dancing.
R & J’s wedding at King and White was a perfect example of how this versatile space can be transformed to fit any vision. The mix of industrial-historic elements, combined with the couple’s personal touches, created a warm and inviting atmosphere that will be remembered by all who attended.
