The Showroom by Ellison is a wedding venue in the REO Town district of East Lansing, MI. Once a brewery and distillery, this dynamic event facility resonates with couples who dream of making their declaration of love amongst sweet, homey, and intimate surroundings.
The Showroom is a two-story loft design venue with a total capacity of up to 300 guests and plenty of indoor areas for exchanging vows, wining and dining, and dancing the night away. Ellison Brewery's downstairs area features a modern warehouse design with cream-brick walls and neutral-colored floors that give any event a casual feel. With the brewery next door and a built-in bar, this ground-floor space is ideal for mingling over cocktail hour drinks and clinking champagne glasses. For the wedding gala, the newlyweds and their guests can retreat to the upstairs area, a large open room with space for any furniture configuration, and a stage for a DJ or teary-eyed wedding toasts. The Showroom also features on-site suites for newlywed preparations or loved ones from out-of-town.
The Showroom team does its very best to give couples all over the state the wedding experience of a lifetime. With the help of an on-site event planner, newlyweds can plan their celebration without a worry in sight. Always one step ahead, the property also comes with its own furniture, tableware, and sound and lighting systems. When it comes to catering, The Showroom gives couples top-notch cuisine prepared by their premium chefs. And with a variety of high-quality spirits and liquors to go around, everyone is bound to have a bash.
Kay & Brad Ross(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2022 Taylor, Aaron and the Ellison staff were superb in the quality of set-up, service and food delivered to our 35-40 person event. They hosted an MSU graduation party for our daughter and it turned out fabulous! They were flexible and accommodating for us to have the event either upstairs or on the main floor (both floors are so neat and full of character and those staircases...Wow! So amazing!) It’s wonderful that they have different seating options available to select from (round, rectangle and cocktail tables with whatever linens you may wish to have). The food was delicious, hot and fresh - including the pies right from the coolest pizza oven in town! All of the guests loved the place and the food! What a great venue and it’s great that it’s close to campus for any college event you may need to plan for! Reviewed on 20-12-2022
Lynette Ulman(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2022 Aaron and Taylor and the entire Ellison team provided amazing food and upscale service for my couple. As a wedding planner, they made sure the day of the wedding was smooth for me. Always around to assist and ask what was needed. The custom menu that was served was amazing! The place was clean and ready to go when we showed up to begin production. Would love to be back for more events in the future! I know Aaron has big plans for Ellison and I can't wait to see!

Justin Martin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2022 Is it possible to say we had a flawless experience? Well we did, thanks to everything Aaron, the owner of Ellison did to help make our reception an unforgettable night. We are big foodies, so the quality and taste of our servings were a priority. Aaron eclipsed our wildest expectations from the sauteed Brussels sprouts to Alaskan-caught wild salmon and dark chocolate chip cookies, which had to be served warm. The venue was lovely and the staff tended to all of our needs. Everyone left with bellies and hearts full. We highly recommend booking your next event with Aaron and his team at Ellison. We know no one else could have done it better. Reviewed on 07-11-2022
