We hosted an exclusive happy hour at Somerhaus and could not have been more impressed. The venue is polished, moody, and cozy, and the staff was attentive and thorough!

Somerhaus was my dream wedding venue! This place has such a unique, eclectic, intimate vibe...everything I was looking for. This is the perfect place for a small, cozy wedding. My husband and I had a January wedding with about 65 total guests showing up. We had the ceremony and reception in the same space.We added on the Day of Coordinators package and Beth and Emma were incredible to work with. I was able to go to the venue a handful of times to go over updates as I was going through the wedding planning process, get measurements of tables, trial a table setup onsite, and work with them on open items I needed to make decisions on.I did get especially lucky there was no event the prior evening and I got to drop of all the decor items the day before the wedding. The day of the wedding Beth and Emma were incredible! I got to venue around 2:30pm the wedding day and got to see the whole vision come to life. They executed everything perfectly!As the evening went on, Beth and Emma, were miracle workers getting all the food setup, filling champagne for the toasts, and cleaning up everything... I mean everything. My parents got to enjoy the evening and the Somerhaus team cleaned and packaged all the decor up and my parents were so grateful for this.I could not have asked for a better venue and team. The coordinators and bar staff were amazing!** Bonus: We booked a photoshoot at Somerset (sister bar) from 1-2:30pm to do all the bridal party photos. I highly recommend coordinating this as the pictures turn out stunning.

The perfect venue! Right in the heart of OTR, walking distance to Washington Park. We are so grateful for Beth and Emma, who made our wedding celebration run so smoothly! Between the décor, the helpful bar staff, and Beth, I was able to actually ENJOY the party. We couldn't have asked for a better venue!

We hosted our small ~50 person wedding reception at Somerhaus in November and had an absolutely incredible experience! The venue is even more beautiful than photos with such cool attention to detail - we barely spent anything on décor since their aesthetic is way cooler than anything I'd put together! Beth and Emma were so responsive with all our many questions and really put in a lot of work to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. The bar staff that was provided through the venue were excellent as well. Thanks Somerset for a dream come true wedding venue!!

Wow- What an amazing venue to host our baby shower in! The venue speaks for itself, it's beautiful, needs minimal decorations for a party, and can be customized to whatever set up you need. Beth and Emma were great to work with as well, we ran into a slight shortage of wire trays for catering and they had some from a previous party they let us use. The set up is also really user friendly with the music, microphone, and if you wanted to display anything on their TV. I highly recommend this space for your next event!

Beautiful location and very friendly staff. However, there is not any signage on their venue so if you want your guests to know that they are in the right place you need to bring something to mark the entrance.

We hosted our wedding send-off at Somerhaus and it was a dream come true! Emma and Beth are excellent to work with, quick on communication, and they allow you to accommodate the space to suit your event - We even hung disco balls! Absolutely recommend this space for any event. We had ~65 guests and were very comfortable!

This place is cool.While parking is certainly an OTR reality, this venue is a magical and whimsical little secret space hidden in it's urban, trendy surroundings.:)))

Lovely event space! We had a small wedding reception. The seating areas are perfect for a party and really fostered wonderful smaller group conversations. The staff was helpful, friendly and professional. We chose to use their bar service which was so easy and excellent. Our guests loved the options and enjoyed everything. Already recommended to a friend who is having their rehearsal dinner here. Can't say enough good things!

We got married here on 02/22/2022 and were the first wedding in the space. From the moment we first met with James to see the space we knew it was meant to be. The energy and vibe that him and his design team have created is beyond perfect. Upon walking into the space you feel transported and have a sense of wanderlust at all of the magic that surrounds you. Our wedding was intimate and serene. I felt like I was saying my vows in a secret garden in a fantasy movie, below the ivy and the skylight. They also made sure everything was just as we wanted and allowed us so much freedom to re-work the space to our needs. They even made sure the arbor was built in time and it perfectly matches the space. Emma, Sara, Hansen and Dennis were all so helpful and responsive with every question and last minute worry. Make sure to add on the clean up crew, it made the end of the night so easy knowing we didn’t need to sweep the floors & rearrange the furniture. In the future I would love to see them offer a 24hr package for weddings to make set up easier. We decided to book the night before too for our rehearsal dinner and it was so worth it. 100% would choose this space again if I had to do it over. Do not hesitate to experience this space & Somerset Bar (which they were kind enough to allow us to take our wedding photos at after the ceremony) first chance you get!

A 10 million out of 10 experience by far. We chose Somerhaus for our wedding day ceremony and reception after taking one look at the mind-blowing space. It’s as cool and alternative as it gets; photos will do all the talking there. There’s tons of seating but still enough configuration flexibility to offer loads of standing and dancing room. The mismatched seating photographs so well, our guests were taking selfies all over the place. It’s impossible to take a bad picture in Somerhaus. You also won’t need to bring in a lick of decor, just some candles and a rose petal or two and you’re golden. But what makes Somerhaus worth booking, beyond the unrivaled design, is easily its incredible staff. While designed to be a DIY space, Emma never once let our day go without her care and special touch. Her presence gave every member of my family all the confidence in the world for our first wedding rodeo. It was truly the best day of our lives.

We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here which went wonderfully! Beth & Emma answered any and all questions and were very responsive. The space itself it beautiful, unique, and exactly what we were looking for. The full kitchen was so useful, we displayed a wedding video on the picture framed TV, and the surround system/microphone was great for speeches. Highly recommend this place!

We threw an incredible brunch here! The space is beautiful and unique. Emma and Beth were great to work with! They were the bar tenders of our event as well and were incredible. I am already looking forward to holding my next event there!

The Sommerhaus Events Venue was a fantastic and unique space to hold a large gathering! I was lucky enough to be invited to a Superbowl watch party there this past weekend and had a great experience. The space is beautifully decorated and offers multiple places to sit and hang out. The staff was also amazing- Brittany our bartender was very accommodating and friendly. Hope to be back soon!
