Housed in a former Cadillac dealership built in 1921, The Cadillac Service Garage brings early 20th-century industrial architecture to the heart of downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. A decade-long restoration, completed in 2017, preserved the building's most striking feature: a central hall whose 30-foot reclaimed heartpine ceilings rise, column-free, to a cathedral-like scale. The venue spans more than 13,000 square feet across several distinct spaces. The Garage anchors ceremonies and receptions beneath skylights and handmade chandeliers, while the Classic Showroom—with its original black-and-white marble floor, custom bar, and fireplace—suits cocktail hours and smaller gatherings. Outside, the Wandering Garden and a granite terrace courtyard offer a natural setting for warm-weather ceremonies, and two brick lounges provide room for preparation and photography. The Cadillac Service Garage hosts a single wedding at a time, with celebrations typically running from 125 to 175 guests and seating for up to 225. Catering and bar service are handled exclusively in house, and every rental includes the venue's full furniture inventory and dedicated event staff.
