1010 West 

5.0

Orlando, FL
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $4,200

Today, nestled behind this early 1900's storefront, (we left the outside just the way we found it), you'll find Orlando's most unique event space imaginable. Some are calling it "The Hidden Hanger" and others, "The Speakeasy". We just call it 1010 WEST. Step through the old metal gates and you'll discover the rustic and industrial, yet warm environment of a space revitalized from a turn of the century airplane hangar. Speakeasies may no longer be illegal, but their hard-to-find entrances gives a sense of exhilaration when walking down a dimly lit alleyway and passing through nondescript gates into a subterranean world of tinkling glasses and spirited history of our hidden hangar.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Space for a large guest list
  • Combines timeless elegance with history
  • Designed for grand celebrations

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
Kevin and the team at 1010 are amazing! We met with them so many times and they were helpful and organized to help make our day special! Everything was so amazing and we couldn’t have asked for anything better!
