Wedding DJ at Robert Hall in Winston-Salem, NC

The Space

Robert Hall is a genuinely unconventional, eclectic wedding venue in Winston-Salem’s Industry Hill, the revitalized downtown industrial area full of performance venues, breweries, restaurants, museums, galleries, and maker spaces. Originally constructed as a doctor’s office in the early 1900s, the building has lived many lives, serving over the years as a cafe, a sign shop, and a metal workshop, and its current iteration as an event venue is the brainchild of owners Christy and Will Spencer. That layered history gives Robert Hall a one-of-a-kind character you simply cannot manufacture. With its distinctive private spaces and its lively downtown-industrial setting, Robert Hall is a standout for couples who want something different. For couples who want an eclectic, characterful wedding with genuine history, a speakeasy-style bar, and a vibrant downtown Winston-Salem location, Robert Hall is a distinctive and memorable choice unlike any other venue in the city.

Capacity & Layout

Robert Hall features three distinct private event spaces that can be used together or reserved individually, giving couples a genuinely flexible layout. Capone’s Bar is a striking 2,500-square-foot space that features an authentic 1920s mahogany bar, rumored to have come from one of Al Capone’s famous hangouts in Michigan, giving it a real speakeasy character. The Vault and The Garden add two more distinct settings, so couples can spread the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception across the spaces or combine them for a larger celebration. That flexibility lets couples shape the day around their vision, whether an intimate elopement or a full wedding, and the eclectic, historic spaces keep the whole celebration feeling one-of-a-kind. Having multiple distinct spaces, indoor and out, in one downtown venue keeps the celebration connected and full of character from the first toast to the last dance.

Amenities

Robert Hall pairs its eclectic spaces with genuinely distinctive amenities. The standout is Capone’s Bar and its authentic 1920s mahogany bar, along with the venue’s overall speakeasy-meets-industrial character, which gives couples and photographers a one-of-a-kind, characterful backdrop that needs little added decor. For lodging, the Huntley House offers a set of five Airbnb rooms designed to make guests feel as if they have come to stay with their most sophisticated and eclectic relatives, each meticulously curated with family heirlooms and treasures, so the wedding party can stay close. The three flexible spaces, indoor and outdoor, let couples host everything from elopements to full receptions, showers, and rehearsal dinners. For the entertainment, the enclosed, character-rich spaces give a wedding DJ solid structure and controlled acoustics to build sound and lighting into, so the reception stays lively within a genuinely eclectic, historic downtown setting.

Location & Getting There

Robert Hall sits on North Liberty Street in Winston-Salem’s Industry Hill, the revitalized downtown industrial district, close to performance venues, breweries, restaurants, museums, galleries, and maker spaces. That central, walkable location is a genuine advantage for a wedding weekend, since out-of-town guests can stay nearby, explore downtown Winston-Salem’s vibrant arts and food scene, and reach the venue easily, while Piedmont Triad International Airport is a short drive for anyone flying in. The surrounding Industry Hill and downtown area give guests plenty to do around the wedding, and the venue’s own Huntley House Airbnb rooms let some guests stay right there. Yet the eclectic, historic building itself gives the venue a distinctive, one-of-a-kind feel once you step inside. That combination of a genuinely unconventional, characterful venue with a vibrant, walkable downtown Winston-Salem location is a big part of what draws couples to Robert Hall.
