The Studio Downtown LLC

The Studio Downtown is a flexible event venue in the historic centre of Hastings, Minnesota. Set in a restored building dating from 1867, the space combines original character, including exposed brick, high ceilings and hardwood floors, with practical facilities for contemporary gatherings. Organisers can hire the venue by the hour or choose a longer booking, with options for both weekday and weekend events.

The venue welcomes a range of occasions, including micro-weddings, wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, bridal and baby showers, birthday and anniversary parties, holiday celebrations, meetings, networking events and workshops. It is also available for photo shoots and other creative projects. The room can seat up to 80 guests, and its furniture can be rearranged to suit different event layouts.

Event hire includes tables and chairs, buffet tables, cocktail tables, a kitchenette, Bluetooth sound system, large flat-screen display, microphone, podium and sign easels. The kitchenette has a refrigerator, freezer, microwave, coffee maker, sinks and worktop space, making it useful for organisers bringing their own refreshments or arranging an outside caterer. Clients may choose their own vendors, and table linens and napkins are available as paid extras.

The Studio Downtown offers online booking for selected reservation options, with a signed contract required to confirm a booking. Its historic setting and adaptable layout make it a practical choice for intimate celebrations, business gatherings and creative sessions. Public parking is available nearby, and the venue provides Wi-Fi and accessible restrooms. Organisers should include any set-up and clear-up time in their rental period, and use a licensed vendor if alcohol is to be sold.
