Our New Blog to Help YOU the Space Renter!!

Hello from the Union Project. Welcome to our new blog. This page is an attempt to help you get a better idea of the space that we provide and the mission of our organization. I will post rental events and their pictures to help you think of ways of doing your event here at the UP as well as our own outreach events in order to let you know how we like to decorate and make use of our space.

Murray & Diersen Wedding Reception

My first wedding reception here at the Union Project was a blessing because the groom was one of the architects who helped to plan out our space. He was more than capable at making a layout for the table placements! You'll note that they used apples and wild flowers as their center pieces and used a deep brown for some of their table clothes and used a great auburn color for their napkins.


Unfortunately, as wedding reception did not get started until around 7pm, the guests did not get to see the 100 year old stained glass windows for too long. They had around 140 guests and used both the Atrium and Great Hall to accommodate them. The stage had a live band, The Metropolitans with a horn section that really filled the space with sound .


Even with a couple of the windows missing from the upper balcony window, the building still manages to clean up pretty well.








I am a huge fan of the wedding "cake" which was provided for the couple by Dozen Cupcakes
