About SoWa Power Station
The Catered Affair is proud to be the exclusive caterer for The SoWa Power Station. Built in 1891 as the world’s largest power generation plant, it produced enough electricity to run the West End Street Railway. The century-old property’s structural elements have since been rescued and restored, transforming it into a blank canvas for community, celebration, and innovation. The Main Floor is a spectacular and versatile open concept space which allows event planners and clients the freedom to transform the venue to their unique vision. Sixty foot vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling windows which allow an abundance of natural light, concrete floors, and original tile work enhance this architectural wonder. The room is ideal for conferences, galas, art installations, trade shows, performances and weddings. Our second floor Mezzanine features two spaces connected by a stunning rotunda - a relic of the 252 foot tall chimney that used to stand on the spot. A built in bar, fourteen foot ceilings with exposed beams and glamourous light fixtures create an intimate and chic location for private dinner parties, social and work receptions, all-day meetings, and retreats. The Mezzanine can also be used in conjunction with the Main Space as a breakout room, VIP area, or vendor staging area.
