It’s no secret the Magic City has gotten her groove back, and we couldn’t be more proud! Among the host of new eateries, hangouts and venues contributing to the revitalization, one establishment has particularly caught our eye. On the outskirts of Birmingham’s popular Lakeview District stands the newly refurbished Events at Haven, a venue perfect for brides with an imagination and a party to throw.

The former Mack Truck building, originally constructed in 1924 and renovated in 2014, features an airy, elegant and modern space ideal for the grandest of Birmingham wedding receptions or a sprawling after-rehearsal dinner. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a gorgeous bar, charming brick walls and concrete floors create a trendy yet relaxed atmosphere, with the 20,000 square feet accommodating standing room for up to 1,000 guests.

Hosting a smaller Alabama wedding or celebration? No worries! The venue offers three spaces available for reservation altogether or individually. Other features of the space include a bridal suite, a large room for outside catering services and plenty of nearby parking for guests. While pre-decorated venues can help save time and money, we also can’t help but love a downtown Birmingham event space conducive to creativity, imagination and endless possibilities. Remember, a blank space can act as a canvas for the ideas you’ve been collecting (and dreaming about) since before you were engaged; if you’re a bride bursting with inspiration, check out Events at Haven!

In the meantime, view a few photos from the fun, hunting-themed rehearsal dinner of one of our fall Birmingham brides, hosted at Events at Haven. Enjoy!
