Maxwell has been the setting for a wide range of personal celebrations—from weddings and engagement parties to baby showers and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. The space is known for its layered interiors, classic ambiance, and old-world aesthetic, which together create a memorable environment without requiring extensive setup or decoration.

The Grand Room, with its seating for 80 or space for 150 standing, has been used for wedding ceremonies and Bar or Bat Mitzvahs. Its high ceilings, fireplace, and hand-painted wallpaper give the room a strong presence that supports events meant to feel meaningful and substantial.

The Garden Room, with more natural light and a connection to the patio, lends itself to engagement parties and baby showers. Maxwell can accommodate celebrations of varying sizes. The building’s style is consistent throughout, making it possible to move between spaces without losing visual cohesion.

These events don’t begin from scratch. Maxwell’s existing decor, including vintage lighting, wood paneling, and custom furniture, reduces the need for external staging and helps hosts focus on the gathering itself.

Book a private tour and see how Maxwell’s spaces naturally fit your next celebration.
