About this venue
The SoWa Power Station is a masterpiece of late-industrial glamor. Built in 1891 as the world’s largest power generating plant, it produced enough electricity to run the West End Street Railway. The century-old property’s structural elements have since been rescued and restored, transforming it into a blank canvas for community, celebration, and innovation. Our spaces allow couples and their planners to bring their wedding vision to life. Whether it be to lean into the industrial allure or completely transform the space to match the couple's esthetic, the Power Station is the ideal venue to make this happen.
