A message about re-opening our venues from Judd Sather, owner of One23 Events:
Revised January 11, 2021 - please check back for updates as we expect to update this weekly.

We are incredibly excited with the recent news that the vaccine is now available!  We are re-opening our Stillwater venues for weddings and live music events on January 11, 2021.  Our Riverbend venue in Wisconsin continues to operate safely without restrictions in Wisconsin.  More information regarding the current mandate can be found HERE.

Keep your eye out for our dinner concerts we will launch this month to support the music industry this winter.

We look forward to celebrating safely with you!


Here are some kind words from a recent wedding at JX Venue: 
Kailey + Hunter ~ July 11, 2020
"Emily & the entire JX Event Venue staff helped me and my now husband make our special day happen. We had to switch venues a month before the wedding date because of COVID-19 and JX was so helpful, spacious, and worked with us to make our day happen. Our reception turned out absolutely wonderful especially since we had such a short amount of time to get everything switched over and planned at the JX Event Venue. In all honesty I am so glad that we had to switch venues because it was such a gorgeous place. I highly recommend the JX Event Venue!!"

Here are some fun ideas from recent weddings for guests!

One23 Events wanted to outline our safety plan as we get back to celebrations and events.   ​We are lucky to have one of the largest event venues in the state, JX Venue, with capacity for up to 720 guests at one time.  This allows greatly for social distancing and predictable movement as the main room is 12,000 square feet.  Events scheduled at The Loft at Studio J, or The Terrace at Stillwater Library may be able to move to JX depending on availability. Riverbend has no restrictions as it is in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
