About Us
Venue 601 is more than just a space—it’s the fulfillment of a vision that has been over 20 years in the making. Founded by two mother-daughter duos, Venue 601 is rooted in friendship, family, and a shared passion for celebrating life’s most meaningful moments.
For years, the two mothers—best friends—dreamed of creating a place where gatherings could truly shine. Together with their daughters, they spent countless hours hosting over-the-top events for their loved ones in less-than-perfect spaces. Through those challenges, they discovered a unique talent: the ability to transform even the most ordinary settings into unforgettable, show-stopping experiences.
That creativity and determination are what gave birth to Venue 601. Designed with intention, our space offers a strong yet versatile aesthetic that adapts seamlessly to all types of events—big or small, casual or elegant—all while keeping budgets fair and attainable.
At Venue 601, we’ve built our space to serve both the inspired DIY host and those who prefer to leave the details in expert hands. Whether you want the freedom to design your own setup or the ease of our curated décor services, we’re here to make sure your event is everything you envisioned—and more.
Because for us, it’s not just about a venue. It’s about creating memories, celebrating connections, and making every detail count.
