Questions about the space
What furniture is included?
Eight white Chiavari chairs, two wooden dining chairs, a bar stool, a gold velvet lounge set with coffee table, an antique chaise, an antique writing desk, a black wooden table and three 6 foot folding tables. For more seating, we share a list of rental partners once you book. See everything included.
How many guests fit at The Harlow Exchange?
Up to 50 people at any time, seated or standing. That count includes everyone in the space: guests, vendors, caterers and performers. The 3,700 square foot hall gives 50 people plenty of room to move, mingle and dance.
How do vendors load in?
Through the rear alley. A 6 x 7 foot service elevator rises from the loading dock straight into the suite, so caterers, florists and rental companies can bring in equipment easily. Vendors load in during your booked hours.
Is the venue accessible?
The Harlow Exchange is on the second floor of an 1880 heritage building. Guests enter at the corner of Albert Street and McDermot Avenue and climb about 25 stairs. A 6 x 7 foot service elevator runs from the rear alley loading dock, which sits about 3.5 feet above the alley, so it is set up for vendor load-in. If a guest has mobility needs, call us at (204) 400-5700 before booking and we will plan it together.
Can we play music?
Yes. Two Bluetooth speakers are included: a JBL speaker and an XL rolling party speaker with LED light rings. Planning a DJ, live band or dancing? Tell us when you book and we will confirm the details for your event.
Can we use candles?
Open flames, including candles, need written permission first. Flameless LED candles are welcome any time and look lovely against the brick at dusk.
Can we decorate?
Yes. The loft is a blank canvas of brick, white columns and hardwood. Bring florals, balloons, linens, signage and lighting, and style it however you like. Confetti, glitter and fog machines need written approval first.
Do you supply linens, dishes or extra chairs?
Those come from rental partners, who deliver straight to the loft by service elevator. We share our list once you book.
Ready to pick a date?
Every rate, every open date, and a 30% retainer to lock it in.
