One City Plaza
Events
Welcome to One City Plaza Events, a venue rich in history and charm. Nestled in the heart of Roanoke, VA, our building has been a cornerstone of the community for decades. Originally constructed in the early 1900s, it has served various roles over the years, from a bustling marketplace to a hub for local businesses.
A unique feature of our building is the beautiful Dorothy Gillespie mural painted on its side. This mural stands as a tribute to the vibrant history and the people who have shaped our community. It serves as a constant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Roanoke and the stories that have unfolded within these walls.
In 2024, we transformed this historic space into a premier event venue, blending timeless elegance with modern amenities. Our vision was to create a place where people could come together to celebrate life's most important moments. Today, One City Plaza Events stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Roanoke, offering a versatile and stylish setting for weddings, corporate events, social gatherings, and more.
Every corner of our venue tells a story, and we invite you to add your chapter. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, One City Plaza Events is the perfect backdrop for your unforgettable memories. Join us in making history, one event at a time.
