157 W. Evans St. was built in 1912 and since then it has hosted a long list of businesses. It has been a drug store, a retail store, a DIY craft studio, and everything in between. Now, it hosts an events space like no other in Florence, South Carolina. Its new design and decor offer a modern-industrial style, while respecting and embracing the building’s heritage.

El Venue has over 5,200 square feet of space, designed to be functional, yet unique and stylish.

The catering kitchen has over 660 square feet and it is equipped with a large ice-maker, large fridge, warming oven, industrial sink, and four stainless steel tables for set-up. This kitchen was designed to make any caterer feel welcomed.

The lounge, or dressing room, provides the perfect space for you, or your VIP guests, to get ready, relax, and enjoy a private space before joining the party. Big LED mirrors provide the perfect lighting to get your look and make-up just like you want it.

We brought 157 W. Evans St. back to life, but you will give it the new memories that it deserves.
