The Main Space
Spacious 3,000 sq ft loft set up for dining, mingling, and celebration.
The main loft is just over 3,000 square feet, giving you plenty of space for dining, mingling, and gift tables. The open layout can be arranged for seated meals, food stations, or a lounge-style setup with couches and high-top tables. Natural light from the oversized windows fills the room, perfect for photos and decor details. The neutral design pairs easily with soft pastels, greenery, or bold accent colors, whatever style suits the celebration.
Full kitchen and long dining table ready for large gatherings.
Kitchen and dining area
Bring in catering or a professional chef for a baby shower in our open-concept kitchen.
The Fold’s 400 sq ft kitchen connects directly to the main loft, making catering simple and seamless. It includes full-size appliances, a 14-foot counter with bar seating, and a 12-seat dining table; perfect for setting up food, desserts, or a drink station. You can bring in your own caterer, host a potluck, or keep things casual with brunch-style bites. The kitchen and dining setup make it easy to keep the celebration flowing without stepping out for anything.
Private rooms for family and setup
Two private rooms sit just off the main loft and work perfectly for behind-the-scenes prep or quiet breaks. Use one as a dressing or staging room, store gifts and personal items safely, or set aside a private space for nursing or resting during the event. They’re close to the main space, so you stay connected to the celebration without losing privacy.
