Great Space Right in the Heart of Richmond - An Eventective User

The venue and staff were awesome. They worked with me to be my event idea to a reality. I can't thank them enough and I continue to work with them to grow my event. The establishment is clean and safe. They have modern amenities with a classy feel to the event spaces. I used the Speakeasy for my event and it was awesome. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND GIVING THEM A TRY. Tell them Special J sent you.

Hosted an anniversary party at the Speakeasy and it was amazing. Great service and experience. I was pleased and would definitely book here again.

The BEST venue for ANY event! - An Eventective User from CHESTERFIELD, VA

From start to finish, you have an extremely helpful and patient coordinator to help ensure your event is absolutely perfect. My 40th birthday was a red carpet event and I felt as though the entire process was smooth & amazing from start to finish. I couldn't have had such an amazing party anywhere else. HIGHLY recommend!

Rawles Johnson Family Reunion - An Eventective User from Richmond, Virginia

The Hippodrome staff was very accomodating. Loved the venue. Charming, elegant and eclectic. It felt as if we were transported back to 1920's & 30's. A very pleasant experience for us the planners and our family members. Highly recommend!
