The 3,000-square-foot venue offers flexible spaces for a variety of events, including a main open area with couches, a flat-screen TV and stylish decor, as well as a private office and a fully equipped kitchen, though cooking is not permitted. A dedicated changing room is also available for photo shoots.
To elevate the experience, the venue offers additional services for a fee, including an on-site photographer, graphic design, videography and a red carpet runner. Additional amenities such as speakers, chairs and silverware are provided, allowing clients to focus on their creative vision while the venue handles the details.

One of the venue’s standout features is its abundance of natural light. Large windows flood the space with sunlight throughout the day, creating a bright, airy atmosphere that’s perfect for capturing stunning photos or filming videos. This seamless blend of design and functionality makes it an ideal location for a variety of events.

Flexibility is another key selling point. The team at 818 Creative Company understands that every event is unique and encourages clients to customize the space to meet their needs.

"We allow people to come in and change the setup as needed. If you want to move chairs around or bring your own decorations, we're very flexible. We want people to feel free to express their creativity in the space,” Deborah said.

Booking the venue is simple, with an up-to-date online calendar that allows clients to check availability and secure a reservation instantly. The venue also offers flexibility for last-minute bookings—clients can book as little as two hours in advance, making it ideal for spontaneous events or changes in plans.

Pricing for the venue starts at $120 per hour for photo shoots or videography, with a slightly higher rate of $150 per hour for larger events like parties or corporate functions. There’s also a 10% discount for bookings of up to eight hours.

What truly sets 818 Creative Company apart from other event spaces is its commitment to creating unique, meaningful experiences for every client. This dedication is rooted in the company’s core values of faith, integrity and creativity.

“The name ‘818 Creative Company’ is inspired by a verse from the Bible, Deuteronomy 8:18, which says, 'But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.' This verse reflects our mission to empower others through their creative endeavors,” Deborah said.
