About
Nestled in the heart of Havana, Florida just outside of Tallahassee, 1908 is a venue steeped in history and elegance. This charming building, constructed in 1908 (hence the name), has been meticulously restored to preserve its historic character while adding contemporary comforts. With over 6,000 square feet of space (3,000 square feet of event space), the venue boasts exposed brick walls and soaring 12-foot ceilings that create a spacious and inviting atmosphere.
The two loft apartments, each 1,500 square feet, with two bedrooms and one bathroom, offer luxurious accommodations for when you need to stay the night of the wedding. These lofts combine vintage charm with modern amenities, providing a cozy and elegant retreat. The event space, with its original architectural details and updated features, serves as a perfect backdrop for weddings, parties, and other celebrations.
The venue's location in the quaint town of Havana adds to its appeal, offering a serene and picturesque setting for any event. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, 1908 provides a versatile and enchanting space that can be tailored to your vision. The surrounding town is rich with Southern charm, providing additional options for photo opportunities and guest experiences. The combination of historic allure and modern facilities makes 1908 an unforgettable venue for any couple’s big day.
In addition to its architectural beauty, 1908 offers a range of amenities designed to enhance your event experience. From the ambient lighting that highlights the venue's historic features to the fully equipped catering kitchen, every detail has been considered. The spacious outdoor garden area provides a beautiful setting for a wedding ceremony or cocktail hour, while the indoor event space offers a flexible layout to accommodate various wedding styles and sizes. The venue's staff is dedicated to ensuring that every event is flawlessly executed, providing support and customization options to meet your unique needs.
