Our space offers incredible natural lighting, historic features with modern design, and ultimately flexibility.

Who We Are

We’ve recently moved to a brand new space, but if you haven’t been keeping up, let us update you! At Opticon, we’ve had over 20 weddings proposals (without a single no!). Along with hundreds of small, private events, like candle making classes, yoga classes, dance classes, book club meetups, workshops, product launches, interviews, podcasts, any many more.

If you’re looking for a place to bring DJ’s, perform live music, consume alcohol, have loud parties, unfortunately we aren’t the place for you. But if you have a unique event in mind, or need a place to host a private event, get in touch! We’ll do what we can to help you plan, including free venue tours, when we’re available, and we’re usually around to help you set up.

Our space is a wide open, 3,000 sqft venue with tons of exposed historic brick, a private entrance, free parking, and unmatched flexibility. We’ love to see you bring your ideas to life here!
