Happy New Year!

We hope you had a fun time celebrating 🥂

It brings back memories of our first event in the venue with some amazing friends tending bar and creating vintage cocktails. We're excited for more incredible memories in this historic space and have amazing things planned for 2025!

Speaking of 2025 and cocktails, we'd love some fun inspiration for unique, vintage cocktails for some upcoming events. Think 1930s drinks - any fun recipes?

A very Merry Christmas to the entire Ashland community, to you, your friends, and your family.

We have been richly blessed by this loving and supportive community and have some incredible things planned for 2025. Cherish your loved ones this day, enjoy the fun of giving, and embrace the peace of the newborn King.

Looking for the perfect music for your event/wedding at the Union? Check out this local group! I have heard them personally, and they are amazing! 

Golden Era Jazz is a classic jazz combo in Ashland, Wisconsin.

We've been hearing from so many people driving by who can see our giant Christmas tree in the big, classic windows of our venue! It's also a great way to sneak a peek at the renovation progress.

The tree is always a beautiful reminder that we never want to forget to savor the majesty and peace of this season.

We love the thriving Ashland downtown - snow-covered and the perfect holiday vibe.

A fun reminder to shop local this season! With over 30 retail shops in downtown Ashland, there's never been a better time to check off your holiday shopping list - including our own The Union Boutique downstairs of our wedding venue.

So glad someone captured the glimmering Christmas tree in the venue! These amazing bank windows show off the reflected light perfectly and gosh - it just adds to the cozy, downtown Christmas feel!

Happy Halloween!

We hope you're able to dodge the impending snowflakes this evening when you're trick-or-treating 🎃

Or you can do as we do and hang inside roasting pumpkin seeds, sipping on hot chocolate, and watching a cozy movie.

One of the statement pieces at the last event we had was this incredible copper arch from Lace & Brass Events.

We love partnering with local wedding vendors to bring these details to The Union.

One of our favorite parts of this venue is the gorgeous floor!

We're really focusing on keeping our renovation work as close as possible to the original 1923 design of The Union Bank. And the way the natural light reflects the memories of two people getting married - amazing.

We have had a busy week replacing the original single pane glass in the windows on Ellis Avenue. Another Milestone with this building!🎉🙏 Jay Aspenson

Huge thank you to Jay’s brother, Ramon and our sis-in-law Renee for bringing the lift up and helping!!

Then our good friends, Donna Kimmes and Bryce Kimmes came up and helped paint all day also!
