About this venue
This beautiful building was built in the late 1800s as a railroad station to support the loading, unloading, and storage of freight. In 1990, it was restored to become an event and wedding venue that can easily accommodate 120 of your closest family and friends. The leather belt-driven ceiling fans, wooden phone booth, beadboard ceilings and walls, vintage baggage cart, and authentic gas-fired, pot-bellied stoves add to the charming atmosphere of this function hall. Our hall is the perfect setting for weddings & receptions. There is also the option to add our Out-of-Town Guest Suite for overnight stays. This one bedroom quarters is a one minute drive and a short walk to the venue hall.

Magical Wedding Reception
We didn't know what to expect when we hired Twelve 31 for our wedding reception, but we visited the venue and loved its authentic feel—the antique decor and the perfect amount of space for our 100 guests. Michael, one of the owners, communicated with us all year, answering promptly every question, from important to mundane. I didn't have a wedding planner or coordinator so I had a lot of questions!! The night of our wedding, when we walked into our reception (our ceremony was outside at a private home), the whole venue looked magical. And the food was out of this world. I had many, many guests tell me that it was the best reception they'd been to maybe ever!! Michael and Melissa, we cannot thank you enough for giving us the night of our lives!
Train station was the perfect rustic wedding
Our wedding at the Train station was nothing but amazing!! Would definitely recommend for weddings or any other big events!
Perfect Late September Wedding
We got married here in September of 2024. The space is definitely tight at the 120 capacity but we made it work great and the staff was very accommodating to make sure everything flowed well. All my guests loved the food too. This venue is priced very well for how nice it looks inside.
Mrs
The space is beautiful and fit our esthetic perfect. My advice would be to know what you want, be strong, stand up for what you want, read your contract. That advice is for any venue not just this one!
