A venue without vendor restrictions? Is that even a "thing"?

It is with us! Bring in your favorite DJ, caterer, florist, etc. We are now collecting a list of local vendors in northeast Indiana that are able to serve you! We are always happy to share local vendors, but none of them are preferred or required.

The *only* requirement is that alcohol must be purchased and served by The Van Buren.

If you know a baker, hair stylist, photographer, officiant, or ANY other speciality that provides services for events, tag them below! They can request our form by sending us a DM. πŸ“©

It's amazing how unique and beautiful every event is. Every graduate, bride, mom-to-be, or company that celebrates here is able to use their own style to make the room truly theirs. Somehow, our natural brick, wood floors and white accent walls make every event simple and special.

Dress it up a little, or a lot. The room is yours.

You have to see these windows in person! 😍

This futuristic historic cornerstone belongs to the neo-classical Masonic Temple building at 303 W. Van Buren Street, now home to The Van Buren Event Center - Columbia City, IN. The cornerstone was laid almost exactly 120 years ago in 1904 A.D. (Anno Domini), or 5904 A.L. (Anno Lucis, the Masonic ceremonial calendar).

The building’s upper floors originally housed the Free and Accepted Masons’ lodge, while the first floor was a hardware store and implement dealer. Architecturally, the building features glazed brick with quoins on the corners and dividing the building in half, decorative frieze work above the first floor, jack-arched window lintels on the second floor, round-arched windows on third floor, a dentilled modillion cornice, and stone columns. Of course, the use of masonry for a Masonic lodge was to be expected.

Who's ready to GET DOWN?πŸ’ƒ There are many benefits to renting the dance floor for your event.

When guests see the actual floor, they not only know where to dance, but they feel invited to do so! Nobody wants a wedding where people stand around like an awkward middle school dance. Get the floor and get to dancing!

Want to know the best thing about renting from the Van Buren? Besides the extremely affordable rates, the creative space is top tier! That's right. The Van Buren is a blank slate, providing just enough natural beauty with the tiled ceiling in the Ballroom and natural brick in the Great Room and Sunrise Room. From there, you design it how YOU want it.

Going for the rustic charm look? Maybe classic and floral? Whatever your preference, the rooms are yours to design!
