A New Chapter for Our Historic Redlands Wedding Venue - *The Veil Wedding Loft
If you’ve followed our journey, you know that our venue has always been more than just a place to host events. It’s a space filled with history, charm, and unforgettable moments — a space where couples walk in and instantly imagine their wedding day. As we’ve grown and evolved, one thing became clear:
Our old name no longer reflected who we are or what we do best.
So beginning January 1, 2026, we stepped confidently into a new chapter as The Veil Wedding Loft.
Same space. Same amazing team. Just a name that finally matches the experience we create for our couples.
Why the Change?
For years, we were known as Speakeasy On State — a name deeply tied to the building’s past but not the purpose it serves today. While we love our history, we noticed something important happening: Couples searching for a wedding venue were overlooking us because our name sounded like a bar. Search engines were picking up the wrong signals. Newly engaged couples were landing on our page expecting cocktails… not ceremonies and receptions.
That didn’t sit right with us.
Our venue is romantic. It’s architectural. It’s historic. It’s a place where couples start their forever — and we wanted our name to reflect that clearly.
The Veil Wedding Loft finally does.
Why “The Veil”?
A veil symbolizes the moment right before everything begins. It’s soft, emotional, timeless — exactly how our space feels. When couples walk into our loft for the first time, we watch them pause. The exposed brick, the chandeliers, the upstairs setting, the intimacy… there’s a beauty here that stops people in their tracks. We wanted a name that captured that feeling.
The Veil felt like the perfect expression of the magic that happens inside these walls.
Why “Wedding Loft”?
Because clarity matters. When couples search for:
Redlands wedding venue
Inland Empire wedding loft
Southern California wedding venue
…we want them to find us instantly. Our venue’s architecture is loft-style, filled with character and history. Calling it a “wedding loft” gives couples a clear picture of what they’re walking into — elevated, romantic, and uniquely Redlands. It honors the building’s past while positioning the venue exactly where it belongs in today’s wedding world.
What’s Not Changing
Everything that truly matters stays the same:
Our commitment to serving couples with heart
Our responsive, problem-solving approach
The historic charm of our 1899 building
Our team (hi, it’s still Jason and Katie!)
The elevated wedding experience we’re known for
Our amazing, all-inclusive wedding packages
You’re getting the same unforgettable space — just with a name that finally aligns with it.

A Name That Fits the Future
Choosing a wedding venue is one of the biggest decisions a couple makes. They deserve clarity, confidence, and a place that feels like them. Our new name helps make that decision easier.
