The Rickhouse is housed in a converted warehouse with raw industrial character—think exposed brick walls, timber beams, and soaring ceilings that create dramatic, gallery-like spaces.

Yes, The Rickhouse sits on Foster Street in Durham's dynamic warehouse district, near galleries, shops, and restaurants. Your guests will appreciate the neighborhood's vibrant energy and the abundance of nearby dining and entertainment options. The location is central to downtown Durham, making it convenient for visitors traveling from across the region.

Can you have a ceremony at The Rickhouse?

The Rickhouse's open floor plan and stage/podium setup support ceremony configurations, and the exposed brick walls and high ceilings create a visually striking backdrop.

What kind of couple should choose The Rickhouse?
