Yes, Union Station offers multiple spaces and venues—from large to small—for private and public events. With nearly 1 million square feet of historic and modern enclosed space on our massive downtown campus, we can accommodate nearly any request.

Yes, but keep in mind there are several factors that go into event rental pricing, including various available accommodations within each space. Also remember there are fees for additional services, including food and beverage, audio/visual, etc.

*Prices are subject to change, and discounts are available for non-profit organizations.

Yes, you can check basic venue availability on our website. Within that tool, you can also place a temporary hold on a venue space that will last for at least 48 hours, which allows our Events Team to connect with you, answer questions, and complete your hold.

Each event space includes different basic amenities. For example, some of our venues have built-in audiovisual, while others require that equipment be rented from an outside vendor. For more information regarding the various features offered with each event space, please email our events team at [email protected].

We understand how important it is to stay connected, so Union Station offers complimentary access to high-speed internet throughout the entire station, including all rental venues.

Actually, very little. What you intend to keep will need to be taken with you. We are not responsible for storing or securing your materials, decorations, or belongings. We include basic custodial services in your venue rental package and your catering vendor will clean up after themselves, so you and your guests can enjoy a stress-free evening from beginning to end.
