About

To create a base palette for you, we’ve salvaged the original structure and elements of the building, to allow its history to shine through.

We are a new and unique event venue for your wedding, corporate party or any social gathering. Built in 1950, this 11,000 square foot industrial beauty has been transformed into a celebration destination. Inspired by the airy tranquility of the California desert, west coast vibes, and a little Palm Springs glam, we’ve created a delightful escape for you and your guests. Blending urban elements with nature, Mojave East offers a harmonious indoor/outdoor experience. So come party in the desert!

Located only 10 miles east of downtown Cincinnati on route 32, in charming Newtown Village, we are an easy shuttle or Uber/Lyft ride from many hotels in the area. We also have adequate parking on site, as well as valet options.

A Cincinnati, Ohio wedding and event venue

Meet the owners

We are Ben and Christina, a husband and wife team that had a vision to bring a unique gathering place to life based on our own experiences, and our love of hosting celebrations and memorable events. We had the best experience with our wedding venue, and want to pay that forward. Ben (an Ohio native) has also been in the event industry for over 10 years, and runs two successful businesses – Ben Elsass Photography and Photosphere (a gif photo booth). We have blended our business and creative minds to develop an experiential space that we hope give you and your guests a WOW experience!

Leading up to Mojave East, we have lived in Los Angeles, Chicago and put our roots down in Cincinnati – we love this city! We are travel bugs and love to incorporate experiences we’ve had into our professional and personal lives. Our energetic pup, Millie, also keeps us very busy!
