If you’ve attended a wedding or other celebratory occasion at the wonderfully eclectic Robert Hall event venue in Winston-Salem, you’ve witnessed the colorful past and beautiful present blending to create a setting like no other!
What is it that sets this downtown gem apart from other venue options? Owners Will and Christy Spencer bring their own history of working in the event industry from the corporate side, and Christy’s love for entertaining has been a natural fit for Robert Hall’s success.
“The most obvious thing is the intentional way we’ve restored the venue and played upon its uniqueness,” shares Christy. “The building itself is the main character in the Robert Hall story, and we’ve woven in our own love of Winston-Salem history, along with a passion for a sophisticated aesthetic. It’s given me the platform for entertaining guests, working with clients to host once-in-a-lifetime events and be an integral part of so many couples’ special days.”
When the popular venue celebrates its 4th anniversary in October of 2026, Christy and the team will be celebrating in the very best way possible – by hosting multiple weddings and special events that month.
Robert Hall offers three unique spaces that can be used altogether or reserved separately for your event. The period-inspired Capone’s on the second floor is completely authentic, from the restored 1914 antique brass cash register to the metal “vault” door. Its natural lighting and unmistakable charm makes for the coziest of gathering spaces. Preserved with its original industrial feel, The Vault provides 2,500 square feet of event space right on the first floor and connects to a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for catering use. The Garden – a lovely 2,100-square-foot outdoor patio space – features two fireplaces, ample seating and beautiful trees and landscaping that’s perfect for a more intimate gathering.
Besides the most romantic weddings, Robert Hall also hosts two other notable events that bring the community together.
“Once every month – with the exception of November and December – we are open to the public for Cocktails at Capone’s,” Christy shares. “From 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m., on the fourth Thursday of each month, we invite you to join us for cocktails and to see Robert Hall’s unique spaces for yourself.”
Mark your calendar for Thursday, April 23rd (and plan ahead for May 28th) to spend an evening getting to know why engaged couples find Robert Hall the perfect venue choice.
“We’re also excited about our Robert Hall Secret Supper Society events, which are members-only gatherings for those who appreciate a little enchantment in their evenings,” Christy adds. “Entertainment, community and the culinary arts blend beautifully at these dinners, which we hope to host four or five times a year.”
Adding to their already well-defined niche within Winston-Salem’s events arena, Robert Hall is embarking on another exciting chapter – transforming the space that has most recently been the Win Cup Museum into an event center to be known as The Nash.
“We noticed there are very few event spaces available to seat 250 people comfortably,” says Christy.” We’ve had requests at Robert Hall for larger events, and while we’ve made it work, the demand is only growing. Transforming the former museum into a dedicated event space is the perfect solution.”
The Nash will also be a celebration of history and craftsmanship. Mirroring the elevated standards of style and service you’ve come to expect from Robert Hall, The Nash will offer a dynamic setting perfect for private events, all within a museum-inspired atmosphere.
