The Bond hosts meetings, training sessions, panel talks, product pop-ups, private dinners and weddings for up to 300 guests in a theater layout or 256 at seated tables. The venue occupies a former industrial building in the Royal Square District of downtown York, Pennsylvania, with exposed brick, beams and high ceilings.
Seminars and company events
Corporate bookings get exclusive access to all spaces, with a three-hour minimum and no charge for setup and breakdown time. Layouts run from a U-shape for 100 to a classroom for 150, seated tables for 256 and a theater for 300. Tables, Chiavari chairs, linens, Wi-Fi and parking are included, along with an on-site manager. Catering comes from The JDK Group, the venue's exclusive partner, with menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktail events. The venue lists panel talks, product launches, private dinners, training sessions and team events among the formats it hosts, which suits a regional sales meeting, an investor evening or a staff celebration.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a main line of business. Couples can hold the ceremony in a dedicated ceremony area with natural light and exposed brick, under the garden pavilion by the fireplace, in a divided section of the ballroom, or in the gallery for a smaller group. Several locations for ceremony and cocktail hour are included with the venue, along with a getting-ready lounge. An outdoor urban garden can host a ceremony or reception for 200. A Speakeasy lounge can be added for an extra fee.
Rooms and capacities
The building offers more than 5,800 square feet of event space and up to 300 guests at a cocktail reception. The Ballroom takes 200 to 220 for a seated dinner with dance floor and can be divided so that a 200-guest ceremony and a 200-guest dinner run side by side. The Atrium and Gallery together take 220 for a cocktail reception; the Atrium alone takes 50. The Garden Pavilion seats 200 for dinner with dance floor and has heating, a fireplace and private bathrooms.
Catering
The JDK Group is the exclusive caterer, which means a single contact for food and service. Sample menus include a continental breakfast, a hot breakfast buffet, a hot lunch buffet, a plated or buffet dinner and a cocktail spread with cheese, charcuterie and dips. Pricing depends on date and guest count.
History and setting
The building was once part of York's industrial past and has been reworked as an event venue that keeps its exposed beams, brick walls and tall ceilings. Chandeliers made by local artisans hang in the main spaces. The design is meant to be styled anywhere from minimal to formal, which gives corporate and wedding clients room to bring their own look.
Getting there
The address is 134 East King Street, York, PA 17402, in the center of town. Harrisburg International Airport and Baltimore/Washington International are the nearest airports, and the Amtrak station in Lancaster is a short drive east. Parking is included with a booking.
