Laid-back sophistication in the heart of Rochester
Are you searching for a chic wedding or event venue in Rochester? Your hunt might be over! Event 180 is truly a HIDDEN GEM.
You might recognize this beauty as the former Studio 180, but Event 180 offers something extra special: incredible food right across the street!


Why This Rochester Event Venue Stands Out
Event 180 is nestled across from Tapas 177, a casually chic, urban destination that’s been a Rochester favorite for over 28 years. This family-owned empire extends its charm to Event 180, blending sophistication and understated elegance with rustic-chic decor that any artful Rochestarian will EAT UP.

What Makes Event 180 Perfect for You
- Affordability: Chris and Ava, the venue’s event managers, are committed to making this stunning venue ACCESSIBLE. It’s not exclusive or pretentious; they welcome everyone and offer flexible 4 or 8 hour rental packages that suit a wide range of budgets.
- Charm: The space exudes sexy chic. With sky-high ceilings, art deco chandeliers, and lived-in wood floors complemented by an eclectic mix of rustic and modern decor, the venue is stunning on its own—you won’t need to add a thing!
- Built-in Support: Affordability doesn’t mean compromising on service. Along with this beautiful venue, you get the support of an in-house coordinator who can collaborate with you or your event planner leading up to your event date, help manage food and beverage timing, and the general flow of your event on the day of to ensure your everything runs smoothly.
