About The Heights

A long-quiet building, brought back to life.

The Heights Event and Entertainment Center opened in February 2025 after a full renovation, with a community celebration of food, music and vendors covered by WBRC. Since then it has hosted weddings, banquets, milestone birthdays, showers, class reunions, repasts, comedy nights and live music.

One open floor plan with a raised round stage, six VIP booths, a lounge, a full bar and the greenery wall with the neon sign that ends up in every photo. The team walks you through the room, helps you plan the layout, and confirms every detail in writing.

“The Heights is a beautiful venue, and the staff is professional and helpful. My event turned out AMAZING! Huge thanks to Vanessa and her team.” Darryl, client testimonial on theheights218.com
