Event Space
Wedding rehearsal dinners, corporate luncheons, milestone birthdays, family celebrations. The patio and the back room dress up however you want. Ben pulls the food, drinks, and entertainment together so you don't have to chase four vendors.
Inspiration
Mockups so you can picture your night before you pick up the phone. Mix and match: the patio handles 30+, the back room 30, the full restaurant 50 seats plus standing room.
String lights overhead, candles down the center, white linens, fine china, chiavari ballroom chairs. Thirty-plus seats, one long table, the kind of night the wedding party still talks about at the actual wedding.
Fortieth, fiftieth, sixtieth, big anniversaries, retirement nights. Bar set up at the back, banquet rounds for the seated meal, a Let's Celebrate neon on the ivy wall for the photo opp. Cake friendly, full bar, your playlist.
Self-serve buffet up front by the restaurant steps, banquet rounds for the family meal, a Class of 2026 photo opp on the ivy wall. Casual but pulled-together. Black-and-gold balloons, mortarboard centerpieces, room for the grandparents and the friends.
Team-building Friday, the kickoff for the new hire, or the going-away for the one who's leaving. The patio works as-is for a relaxed dinner. Add linens and place cards if you want it slightly dressed up, or just sit down and order off the regular menu.
Dress the space
Ben gives you the space. The 1978 Collection (formerly All Occasions Party Rental) handles everything that goes in it. Tables, chairs, linens, glassware, lighting, décor. They work directly with you to spec the room and deliver it day-of.
Two calls to plan the whole night: one to Ben for food, drinks, and entertainment. One to The 1978 Collection for the room.
The space
30+ seats
In season, April through October. Branded umbrellas, ivy walls, Statue of David out back.
30 seats
Year-round. Private from the main dining room. Dedicated bar service available.
50 seats + standing room
Take the whole place over for the night. Mondays and Sundays book easiest; other days we'll work with you.
Outdoor dining + dog friendly
Ben's patio is the differentiator on every event we book. Outdoor dining in Uniontown, dog-friendly when the family wants to bring the lab, ivy walls, branded umbrellas, the David statue dressed for the season. See it in context on the vibes patio gallery.
One call, the whole night booked
The hardest part of planning a private event isn't the food or the room. It's chasing a DJ, a band, a sound guy. Ben pulls from the same roster that already plays Rizz's so the music side just happens.
Resident DJ — runs Thirsty Thursdays and most private events. Pulls a wide playlist (top 40, country, throwback). Owns his own gear, sets up and tears down himself.
Old-school happy hour, decades nights, anything dance-floor-heavy. Strong on hip-hop and pop. Has done weddings and birthday parties at Rizz's going back years.
Rizz's hosts solo acoustic acts most Saturday nights — we can book one of the regulars for your event. Need a duo or a full band? Ben's got the numbers to call.
Food, two ways
Lock the date
Ben walks every prospective host through the patio and the back room himself. Twenty minutes, no commitment, leave with a date.
