Summer is coming in hot ☀️, and we’re so ready for everything coming up in the months ahead.

We’re especially grateful for the people who believed in this space early and are now celebrating their moments here 🖤

It’s been really meaningful to bring this to life in this community ✨

The point of life is to take chances on dreams that seem crazy to others but feel like destiny to you.

Today, on Memorial Day, we remember those who are no longer with us and the sacrifices made so we could have the freedom and opportunity to dream at all.

Grateful for that. And for the chance to keep building something that once felt impossible.

Most people notice the sparkle first.
But tucked quietly in the center are two little love birds watching over every dance floor moment, every toast, every “this is it” kind of night. 🖤

One of those tiny details you could walk past a hundred times and still miss.
And honestly, that feels a little like this whole building. The more time you spend here, the more stories you find.

A little before & during moment because sometimes even we forget how far this building has come. 🖤

From peeling walls, water stains, and fluorescent lights…
to candlelit dinners, line dancing, celebrations, and memories being made inside these walls again.

There’s still work to do. There are still late nights, projects, and dreams waiting on us. But seeing these two photos side by side reminds us that progress doesn’t always happen all at once. Sometimes it happens one weekend, one cleanup day, one event, one vision at a time.

And honestly? We’re really proud of her.

You know that feeling when you walk into a place and immediately know it’s going to be a good night?

That’s what this felt like.

Every table full. People standing around talking long after they finished eating. Kids running around. Everyone a little louder as the night went on. The kind of energy you can’t fake and honestly can’t really plan for either.

This room was built for nights like this. 🖤

One of the strangest parts of restoring this building has been carrying such a clear vision in my head while knowing nobody else could fully see it yet.

Moments like this feel special because it finally starts looking the way it felt in my imagination from the very beginning.

Not perfect. Not finished.
Just real. And finally coming together in a way I can actually see and feel now. 🖤

Today was such a beautiful day for our first official wedding at The Matchbook.

It was short, sweet, and filled with so much love. There’s something really moving about watching two people choose each other in a quiet ceremony like that. No distractions, no big production, just the weight and beauty of a promise being made.

You could feel how much it meant. The kind of moment that makes everything around it go still for a minute.

Elopements hold a very special place in our hearts.

There are moments during restoration where it finally stops feeling like a construction project (at least for a moment 😉)…
and starts feeling like the dream you saw in your head all along.

Watching modern glamour meet 1870s architecture has been one of the most rewarding parts of restoring this building. Every layer we uncover and every detail we bring back to life reminds us why saving old spaces matters so much.

For so long this space has been ladders, dust, demo piles, late nights, and endless projects.
But little by little… she’s finally becoming everything we dreamed she would be.

The Matchbook just got a little more magical ✨

Special delivery 📦✨

One thing about this building… every little delivery feels like another piece of the dream becoming real.

Today it’s chairs.
More seats around tables. More room for bigger celebrations. More people gathered in this old 1870s space making new memories together. 🖤

It may not look like much yet sitting wrapped on a pallet in the middle of the ballroom… but moments like this matter to us more than people probably realize. Every shipment, every repair, every late night, every small improvement keeps pushing The Matchbook forward little by little.

And honestly? Seeing this historic room slowly fill with the things that will one day hold weddings, parties, reunions, and celebrations never gets old. ✨

We can’t wait to see this space full.

05/12/2026

Some days we don’t see it.
The progress. The changes.
How much this little dream has already come to life.

But then we look at photos like these… and realize just how far we’ve come. 🖤✨

Mother’s Day looks a little different for everyone. 💐

For some, it’s a loud table full of kids and chaos.
For some, it’s missing someone deeply.
For some, it’s being the one everyone leans on day after day without much recognition in return.

But no matter what today looks like for you, we hope you feel loved in it. 🖤

From one busy, hardworking season of life to another… Happy Mother’s Day from The Matchbook. ✨
