Ellis House

07/15/2026

Yesterday we welcomed some of the Corridor’s top entrepreneurs to the very first Connect & Compound at Ellis House.

Our white infinity wall made the perfect backdrop for the panel discussion, while the rest of the space naturally turned into conversations, new connections, and ideas being shared long after the panel ended.

In just the past two weeks, Ellis House has hosted four networking mixers. It’s quickly becoming a place where people come together, build relationships, and create opportunities.

If you’re planning a networking event, company gathering, workshop, launch party, or celebration, come see why Ellis House is becoming one of Cedar Rapids’ newest event destinations.

Schedule a tour and let’s make your next event one to remember.

Ellis House is blooming!

We’re not just a room for rent or banquet hall.

We’re not a blank canvas.

We’re a space for those who demand more in everything they do.

We’re a space that feels intentional before you ever step foot inside.

Come see why your next premium event/meeting/seminar/gathering should be here.

Trekkie’s have taken over Ellis House!

Now we know this is a photo of a BBQ Food Truck outside of Ellis but The Delta Flyers, a Star Trek Podcast, has chosen our space to host their Star Trek convention party! (Did you know that was happening in Riverside??)

That said, if you’re looking for the right space to hold your next get together, Ellis House is your space!

One week ago tonight, we hosted our first public event at Ellis House.

A huge thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, shared a post, invited a friend, or simply showed up to support something new.

Seeing people laughing, connecting, and enjoying the space exactly the way it was intended made all the work worth it.

When I started building Ellis House, the vision was to create a place that could bring people together for events, creative projects, workshops, celebrations, and experiences that feel a little different from the ordinary.

Last Friday was a small but meaningful step toward that vision.

Special thanks to the team at Yesandia for bringing the energy and helping make the night a success.

We’re just getting started, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Thank you, Cedar Rapids.

After months of work, Ellis House is finally starting to feel like the space we imagined.

It’s a modern studio and gathering space in Cedar Rapids built for events, shoots, workshops, mixers, intimate weddings, showers, brand activations, and creative projects.

We wanted something flexible, polished, and different from the typical rental space. A place that could host a meaningful event one day, a video shoot the next, and a creative gathering after that.

Now accepting bookings for 2026.

We’re working to make it easier to create events people actually want to attend.

Whether it’s a panel discussion, speaker event, workshop, training, podcast, or community gathering, there are a lot of moving pieces that have to come together.

The space.
The audio.
The setup.
The logistics.

Ellis House now offers professional event audio systems both in-house and for off-site events throughout Eastern Iowa.

Whether you’re bringing together 20 people or 200, our goal is simple:

Make it easier to create meaningful experiences and bring people together.

If you’re planning something and aren’t sure what you’ll need, send us a message. We’re happy to help point you in the right direction.

Not every meeting needs a conference room.

Sometimes you just need a space that feels different.

Our front lounge at Ellis House is available for weekday rentals and is perfect for team meetings, client presentations, workshops, networking groups, brainstorming sessions, and small gatherings.

With comfortable seating, natural light, high speed WiFi, and a thoughtfully designed atmosphere, it’s a place where conversations flow a little easier and ideas have room to grow.

Oh, and that “painting” in the gold frame isn’t actually a piece of art. It’s a 65” TV you can use for presentations or video calls.

Available by the hour, half day, or full day.

If you’re looking for a unique place to meet outside of the office, we’d love to host you.

Message us for availability or visit ellishouse.space for more information.
