Event venue

Empeiria 110 is a modern industrial wedding venue in Rochester, Indiana, built by the Swihart family from concrete, wood, steel and brick. A 60 by 40 foot pavilion, a chapel, a waterfall and a garden give you several places for the ceremony and photographs. The venue can accommodate up to 299 guests for your wedding celebration.

The story

An industrial barn built by a hospitality family

Empeiria 110 sits in open farmland near Rochester in northern Indiana. The Swihart family designed and built it, and the materials show: concrete walls, black steel trusses, a brick wall behind the bridal party table and a custom chandelier over the hall. Dim lighting makes it a room DJs like to play in.

The ceremony can take place in the open-air pavilion, which measures 60 by 40 feet, has a timber roof on black steel trusses and is hung with string lights. A stone waterfall of 16 by 14 feet is an alternative ceremony spot, and also a backdrop for photographs. The chapel, with traditional pews, is used for first looks and private vows, and a pathway garden catches the light at sunset.
