My daughter lives in Fayetteville and to be honest, I'm not at all a fan of the town so I was dreading finding a place locally when planning her recent wedding. To my surprise, and absolute joy, we found Studio 215. ABSOLUTE GORGEOUS VENUE! Perfect for a wedding or any special occasion. Seriously! We rented the larger space and it came with so many extras.
We used the brides room for hair and makeup for 6 people plus the 3 stylists and there was more than enough room for all of us plus some. Very comfortable and there's a connected bathroom! The only downside is that you can't drink alcohol or eat in the room. It would have been nice to have mimosa's while getting ready but we totally understood why you can't (carpet and keeping things clean/no stains) and we were able to enjoy drinks and snacks in the main area right outside the door. The grooms room is beautiful and perfect for pictures! Very nicely decorated and spacious.
The main area has a really cool vibe and perfect for anything you want to do....rustic, country, baby, boho etc. There's lots of space for any size group (we had 10 tables) plus, DJ (All Events DJ), dance floor, bartender, caterer (Two Brothers Catering), sweetheart table, cake table (beautiful btw...flowers by Owen's Florist), gift table, etc. The spiral staircase, faux grass wall and chalk wall (designed by Kaleh Sampson Designs) provided the perfect backdrop for photos. There's even an outdoor area for the cigar smokers and corn hole! PERFECT VENUE!
The surrounding area is a little sketch but they do have security onsite at night and we had zero issues. Honestly, there are some gorgeous old buildings across the street that made a great backdrop for photos. Our photographer (Julie Igo Photography) took pictures of the bride and groom outside for 45 minutes because there are so many options and got some amazing shots! I will post photos once we have them all back and I can pick the best.
I did my research and checked out all venues in Fayetteville. You won't find anything as nice as Studio 215. It truly is the best place to hold an event....
Read moreAs the Director of Global Studies at Terry Sanford High School, I have had the privilege of working with the staff of Studio 215 for the past three years as the venue where we host our annual Senior Global Gala. Studio 215 is a gorgeous venue that accommodates 125-150 students and family members for an unforgettable evening. The atmosphere at Studio 215 is one-of-a-kind: it combines an industrial aesthetic with a classy, elegant vibe that perfectly suits our gala’s festive, yet formal tone.
The staff at Studio 215 have consistently gone above and beyond to make our event seamless. The event coordinators are attentive, resourceful, and always ready to handle unexpected challenges. One memorable example was when our microphone stopped working mid-event. Within minutes, the coordinator discreetly provided us with a replacement, ensuring our program continued smoothly without a hitch.
Upon arrival, everything is prepared to perfection, with tables and chairs set up according to our specifications. The venue includes a working kitchen, which allows our caterers to operate efficiently. Studio 215 also offers unique features that add to the overall experience, such as an outdoor seating area for guests to relax, and a charming upstairs balcony that offers a lovely view of the event. One of our favorite touches is the chalkboard wall, which we personalize with messages for our seniors—a fun and memorable addition.
Overall, Studio 215 provides a beautiful, functional, and supportive environment for our gala, making it the perfect choice year after year. We’re grateful for their team’s dedication to excellence and look forward to many more memorable...
Read moreI'm not sure there's much I can say that hasn't already been said in other reviews. This shows how much Taryn and her team consistently deliver seamless perfection, making a fantastic event appear effortless to the guests.
We came to Taryn with a unique request - that she be one of very few (9, including us) people aware that my Army Retirement ceremony was also a surprise wedding. She was not only willing to accommodate, but excited to help us work through the logistics the dual ceremonies would require.
Recognizing how excited we were for the surprise, her teammate, Robin, facilitated us bringing the bulk of the drinks, decorations, (and secretly a wedding gown and tuxedo, bouquets, etc) to the venue in a way that even family helping us decorate were clueless (hilarious, BTW).
Taryn and her Event Manager, Robin, were responsive, helpful and incredibly accommodating. I should add that during our coordination, Taryn had a baby and has been nurturing that baby while juggling event requirements. Once again, seamless interaction.
Because of the warm interaction and welcoming presence at Studio 215, Taryn and her team don't feel like a vendor and staff. They become one of the faces in the room that you're so excited to celebrate with. In our specific situation, with Robin being one of 9 people in the room (including me and the hubs) who knew about the surprise flip, it was a feeling of WE DID IT!!!
Loved our interaction and wholeheartedly recommend Studio 215 for any type of event. They will help you make your...
