An open-air courtyard, a live stage, a bar, and three kitchens all in one spot. Tell us what you're thinking and we'll follow up to talk through the details.
Jefferson House is an open-air venue at 83rd Avenue and Jefferson Street in Downtown Peoria's Arts District. The courtyard is the room — a covered black-steel canopy over the whole thing, with heaters, fans and misters so it works in February and in July. The kitchens, shops, bar and stage all open onto it.
You can take the courtyard on its own, or take the whole property. We're a new venue, so we have real flexibility on how a night gets shaped — and we'd rather build the layout around your event than hand you a package.
There's a separate patio along Jefferson Street — trees, bistro lights, and set a little apart from the courtyard — that can be held privately while the rest of the property keeps running. Useful for a rehearsal dinner or a company happy hour that doesn't need the whole courtyard. Public surface lots and street parking sit all around the district, so guests park once and walk.
The courtyard reads differently depending on when you use it. Mornings and afternoons it's bright and open and good for markets, showers and family things. After dark the canopy lighting and the stage take over. We're glad to do either, and plenty of events use both halves of the day.
We're taking private event and live music inquiries for late 2026 and 2027 now. Early dates get the most say in how the space gets set up, and we'll be honest with you about what's realistic against the construction schedule.
Tell us what you're planning below. A real person reads these and follows up — there's no automated quote at the end of it.
The courtyard seats 300+ and holds more standing. The Jefferson Street patio works for smaller groups and can be held privately on its own. We'll size it with you once we know the shape of the event.
Yes. The courtyard works for a ceremony and a reception in the same place, and the stage handles the band or the DJ. We're a new venue rather than a wedding factory, so expect a conversation rather than a tier sheet.
No, but three of them are right here and run by the people who own them, so it's usually the easier and better answer. Tell us what you're imagining and we'll talk it through.
Open-air, under a covered black-steel canopy, with heaters, fans and misters. It's built for Arizona weather in both directions — you're outside, but you're not exposed.
Absolutely, and we'd like more of them. Mornings and afternoons in the courtyard are bright and open, which suits markets, showers, brunches and family gatherings.
Public surface lots and on-street parking surround the venue throughout Downtown Peoria. Guests park once and walk — no venue lot to manage, no valet required.
We open in November 2026 and are taking inquiries for late 2026 and 2027. Booking early means more input on how your event gets set up.
