Why The 1206?
Justin G. Jones has a B.A. in music performance and is a professional drummer. He books all of the Live Music in their space. Elayne Woods has a decade of experience in the wedding industry as a professional wedding photographer, has a B.A. in Graphic Design and is currently going to school to get an Associates in Business. Both Justin and Elayne have the drive and motivation to use their skills to make sure you have the BEST event possible.
After marrying my amazingly talented husband a few years ago, we started dreaming about using our collective talents to create a beautiful event space and music venue in our small town!

Elayne Woods Photography is also booking a limited number of weddings for 2024! See her work here:
Nothing in Crete compares to this place! Not only is it beautiful but Elayne is so helpful and did a wonderful job. I put my complete trust into her and she did not disappoint!!"
Our wedding theme was very Victorian gothic/medieval vibes so we really didn't want a rustic/barn style venue, and everywhere else we looked at felt very corporate and depressing and devoid of any character or charm.
The 1206 is decorated beautifully in a way that it has it's own character and life, but you can still add your own style for whatever type of event you are wanting to host there. Also Elayne is a professional photographer so she very meticulously chose the lighting to make for beautiful photos! (I don't have all my wedding photos back yet but can add more later - but even the photos of people dancing in very dim lighting turned out amazing in my opinion!!)
Elayne and Justin were also so helpful and accommodating, they worked with our wedding planners and other vendors to make our day as stress-free as possible, and even made a few last minute requests happen for me that I was not expecting.
If you felt we earned anything less than 5 stars, we want your feedback! Please email me personally at elayne@the1206.com and let us know how we could have made your event worthy of 5 stars and we will bring your feedback into our next weekly meeting to use as a way to improve our services!
