About

Sixteen03 Main Events opened November 7th, 2013, in a nondescript building on Main Avenue in Bismarck, ND. The building was built in 1916 as a warehouse for Lahr Motor Sales, but most locals remember it as the delicious-smelling Sweetheart Bakery which closed its doors in 1993. The event center is anything but nondescript on the inside. While renovation of the entire 55,000 square foot facility is ongoing, the completed event spaces offer a hip, urban warehouse-type vibe that adds a unique ambience unlike any other in the Bismarck/Mandan area.

Overview of Services:

Sixteen03 offers an array of services for all social functions. We can accommodate up to 450 people at the facility for meetings, wedding ceremonies and receptions, dinners, seminars, fundraisers, live entertainment or anything reason you need to throw a party or get together! We have a full bar available for any event and our in-house chef Gregorio DiDonna will work with you to create the perfect custom menu for you, your guests, and your budget. Already have a venue? Our staff can bring the party to you! We offer an array of off-site catering and bartending services.

Gorgeous and Perfect!

Sarah and her crew at Sixteen03 were amazing! Every single detail was not overlooked! She saw our vision and made that vision a dream come true and more. Her team made our day 100% stress free. They were kind, caring, and so much fun to work with! They truly are best. Thank you for making our day a dream come true.

They took care of everything!!

Yes you pay a premium for them, but you don’t have to put together ANYTHING. All chairs, table cloths, silverware, CENTER PIECES, flowers, decor, set up & tear down is done by them! I even had a seating chart that they set up for me. You will thank yourself later that you went through them! Plus some of your budget goes towards the bar and towards food. I didn’t spent extra on food than I was allotted. They made the whole day smooth. Seriously so happy I went through them!
