A message about current COVID-19 restrictions at our venues:
Revised March 12, 2021

We are incredibly excited with the recent expansion of the occupancy requirements for our wedding celebrations!  Here is what this means for our Stillwater venues that fall into the Restaurant / Bar category:

The Loft at Studio J (capacity 337): 75% occupancy is 252 guests (current max capacity is 250).

JX Venue (capacity 720): 75% occupancy is 540 guests (current max capacity is 250). 

​Starting April 1, 2021 venues with occupant capacity greater than 500 may increase patron count accordingly:
  • For seated indoor venues with capacity greater than 500, the venue may operate with an additional 15% of the occupant capacity above 500, with a maximum capacity not to exceed 3,000 for the entire venue (seated venues must have assigned seating, and patrons must remain seated).
  • For non-seated indoor venues with capacity greater than 500, the venue may operate with an additional 10% of the capacity above 500, with a maximum capacity not to exceed 1,500 for the entire venue. 

Starting April 1, 2021, the capacity for JX Venue will be up to 608 guests.

Riverbend Venue: in New Richmond, Wisconsin continues to operate safely without restrictions. 

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.

Thank you Molly and Hannah for the amazing review -  we were so happy to host your wedding celebration!
"My wife and I were recently married at The Loft at Studio J and could not be more happy with the experience we had from start to finish. Emily, was an absolute dream to work with. She truly listened to what our wishes for our big day were and helped us to make them come to life. With all of the changes due to COVID, she always kept us informed and updated. We always knew what was going on and were able to plan accordingly with any changes. We opted to include a day of coordinator and I highly recommend you do the same! We both were able to truly enjoy our day and our wedding parties because she took care of everything for us! The staff were simply amazing and took care of all of our guests. Emily even stopped by to wish us well, ensure the day was going well, and drop off a wedding present from the team! I wish that we could we re-live the day because it was literally perfect and that is thanks to everyone at The Studio at Loft J. I also would be remiss if I did not mention that as an LGBTQ couple we never felt anything but respect and true care from everyone involved in our day. I would recommend them to anyone who is hoping to have the perfect day. . .they will deliver!"
