Historic Venues in Downtown Raleigh
Our Empire Events venues are a collective of spaces, stories, and experiences dating back to 1875. When you celebrate your wedding or special event with us, you are not just renting a venue. You are writing the next chapter of its history.
From the intricate lattice work at The Stockroom at 230, to the cathedral-like ceilings at All Saints Chapel, to the hidden Courtyard at the Jiddi Space, our historic venues create an unparalleled ambiance. And no matter your aesthetic, these spaces are adaptable to your vision.
Our skilled and personable Events team will enthusiastically assist you from start to finish, with detailed care for you and your guests.
Every moment is worth celebrating. We would love to be a part of your story.

Our Values
Enthusiastic Hospitality: We believe in transparent, clear, and individualized communication and details. We truly love what we do, and we want your experience to be true to you!
Traditional Yet Innovative: Dependable. Reliable. Creative. We believe in what works, but we also believe in trying new things. Every piece of our framework started with a “what if..?”
We Celebrate With All: Our doors are open to all kinds of love.
Welcoming Vendor Policy: We grow the more we work with others. While we highly recommend our preferred (and with some specifications, require exclusive) vendors, we love working with vendors that are new to us, too.
Community Commitment: We call Downtown Raleigh home. We are committed to providing our local community and visitors a place where they can feel like they are home, too.
