The Hendricks Building

The Hendricks Building is a historic event venue in downtown Water Valley, Mississippi, available for weddings, receptions, private celebrations and corporate gatherings. Its character comes from the building's long history and original brickwork, with vintage details and large windows providing a distinctive setting for ceremonies, dining and photographs.

The venue offers approximately 6,000 square feet across its tap room and foyer lounge, with capacity for up to 300 guests. The tap room includes a copper-topped bar, a stage with music equipment, a photo booth area, 24 square tables and 100 chairs. The foyer can be arranged as a welcome area, buffet space or quieter lounge. Organisers can discuss the room layout and furniture arrangements when planning their event.

Weddings are a particular focus. Couples can make use of an upstairs bridal suite and adjoining lounge for getting ready, with overnight accommodation available. A classic 1957 Ford Fairlane can also be booked for photographs or a wedding send-off. The venue welcomes outside caterers rather than providing in-house catering, giving organisers the option to choose a food provider that suits their plans.

Other suitable occasions include birthdays, formals, Greek life events and corporate functions. The venue publishes different hire packages according to guest numbers and the day of the week, with additional options and fees for services such as a bartender, cleaning, furniture moving and the bridal suite. Event organisers can contact the team to check availability, arrange a tour and discuss the requirements for their date.
