The Venue

Some couples want a room that feels finished the moment they walk in. Others want a blank canvas. The Venue in downtown Peterborough leans toward the second, with an industrial, urban chic look that invites couples to make it entirely their own.

Located in Peterborough, The Venue offers more than 5,000 square feet of modern and contemporary function space in the heart of the city. It hosts concerts, trade shows and conferences as well as weddings, and that flexibility shows in the room itself.

Exposed ductwork, open truss ceilings, an open floor plan and rich stained bars set the tone. The space has 60-foot ceilings, three tiered seating areas and three bars, along with a lounge space, so guests always have somewhere to gather between dinner and the dance floor.

Because the room is a blank slate, couples can transform it to match their style. Candles, extra lighting, warm linens and sheers can soften the space for an evening reception, while harvest tables, greenery and florals can bring in modern, rustic or chic touches. Rentals can be organized through The Venue's event coordinators.

The Venue has its own culinary team, serving staff and trained bartenders, with a carefully curated catering menu. An in-house Certified Wedding Coordinator helps guide the planning.

With state-of-the-art audio and visual equipment and an in-house technician, music, speeches and entertainment are well supported. Ample parking sits adjacent to the building, and weddings can be held here all year round.

For couples who picture a modern downtown celebration with room to dream up their own design, The Venue offers a stylish, flexible space with the team and technology to bring it all together.
