The Warehouse

The Facility

At The Historic Warehouse, a venue in Lufkin, Texas, you’ll be surrounded by timeless industrial architecture as you celebrate your wedding day or special event. Located just north of downtown Lufkin, The Historic Warehouse is a blank-canvas venue for weddings and major events owned and operated by Drake Venues, LLC, and offers over 9,000 square feet of nostalgic, conversational flair rooted in its unique history as a meticulously restored warehouse.

This authentic pier-and-beam structure seamlessly blends rustic industrial charm with modern amenities, featuring original natural wood flooring, high vaulted ceilings, and a signature 10-foot wrap-around porch. Situated on over three acres, the facility provides a serene and remote atmosphere while maintaining convenient accessibility for all guests.

The interior boasts an expansive, open-concept floor plan that allows for flexible segmentation to ensure a perfect flow for any event, whether it is a reception, a corporate awards banquet, a milestone birthday bash, fund-raising event or a grand wedding. To ensure guest comfort throughout the year, this fully-enclosed space is equipped with 30 tons of professional HVAC, providing a secure and climate-controlled backdrop. By balancing raw architecture with sophisticated upgrades, the venue delivers a relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance for any private or corporate function.

The Dream

Ever since I was a child, I have been captivated by the stories hidden within old walls, dreaming of one day breathing new life into a piece of history. Transforming this historic warehouse into an events venue is the realization of a lifelong passion. We have carefully preserved its industrial soul—the weathered wood floors and beams, soaring ceilings, and original character—to create a space where new memories can be etched into the fabric of the old. It is an honor to finally share this dream with our community and provide a stage for your most significant celebrations.
