We came here to enjoy a retirement party. Danielle was the organizer of the event. Danielle and the staff at the event professionally & efficiently managed all the behind scenes of the party and served all the guests there. There was a lot of paid parking nearby the cobblestone road leading to the Warehouse on the Water. The entrance area was a steep and broad stair way to the entrance porch area of the venue. The entrance opened up to two large clean spacious high ceiling areas to sit comfortably on couches or tables & chairs. The area was excellent for enjoying conversations & food. The bathrooms were clean & fancy. Overall, our time was pleasant. It was the first encounter I ever had at a retirement party and one of the most upscale parties I ever attended. Wonderful time at this venue.

From the moment the music started, he set the perfect vibe and kept it going all night long. His song choices were spot on--he somehow knew exactly what the crowd wanted to hear, and the way he transitioned between songs was so smooth, it felt effortless. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had thanks to RyRy! If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to read the room, keep the party going, and make your night unforgettable, RyRy is your guy. We couldn't have asked for a better soundtrack to the best night of our lives!

I never knew this place existed until a couple of friends took me. This is a private club and I…read morecame as a guest. It is on the top floor (9th) of the building. I don't know what the building is called but it is on the corner of Market and Front streets. The views are fantastic. You get great views of the river, south side of the city and east side. The views are the selling point in my opinion. The place is small. There is a small bar area along with chairs and sofas to sit on elsewhere. Live music when I was there. I didn't see any beer on tap but they do have beer. Wine and mixed drinks available, obviously. The glass of wine I got was $12. Ehh, a little steep. The elevator to the 9th floor is tiny. Four normal size people or two bigguns. You can take the stairs, and I did going up, but you better be in shape. Not sure that I would ever buy a membership here but it was fun to go once.

Owner Ray Baca, has created a dream space for any event planner. The walls are original historic brick, and the furnishing is clean and modern. My favorite feature is the raw feel; this space can easily be outfitted to fit any event. The venue is also unique because of the kitchen and easy setup space for catering. You will not find another venue of this caliber with this unique setup anywhere is downtown Wilmington. The central location is also wonderful if the weddings located in downtown Wilmington. I am using this venue to host a business owner's info session. Mr. Baca has been a pleasure to work with and I hope to host other events here in the future. Tuesday night is open house if you are ever interested in dropping in to check out this beautiful event space.

From the very beginning, Katie was incredibly communicative, organized, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was how genuinely supportive and invested she was in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. The very first question she asked us was what our priorities were...not anyone else's opinions or just a generic "vision"...and that set the tone for everything that followed in the best way. In the three months leading up to the wedding, her guidance became even more invaluable. She helped us navigate every detail with such calm confidence, always making us feel like we were in the very best hands. From table settings to lighting, DJ recommendations to signage - no question was too small, and no detail was ever overlooked. The week of our wedding brought an unexpected challenge, a nor'easter rolled in and completely changed our plans. We had to move our cocktail hour indoors, and what could have been a stressful scramble turned into a completely seamless transition thanks to Katie. She coordinated with all of our vendors, handled every logistical detail, and made the entire situation feel effortless from our perspective. Because of her, I was able to stay present and actually enjoy the days leading up to our wedding, which is something I'll always be grateful for. On the day itself, Katie was not only incredibly professional and on top of everything, but also so fun, warm, and full of positive energy. Not just me and Pearson, our entire wedding party absolutely adored her. She brought the best vibe to the day and made everyone feel comfortable, taken care of, and ready to celebrate. Honestly, I wish we could do it all over again just so we could spend more time working with Katie (and her really cute dogs!). She is truly exceptional at what she does, and even more importantly, she is a genuinely wonderful person. She made our wedding day feel magical, smooth, and completely stress-free. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

She was ready to go - had all the supplies - she breezed thru directing all the vendors and welcoming the bride and family as they dropped things off. It's rumored that she walks 60,000 steps for a wedding. She was graceful, polite and seems to love what she's doing. I am impressed.
