Jiddi Space & Courtyard

Jiddi Space & Courtyard is an event venue on South Wilmington Street in downtown Raleigh, tucked behind the sister restaurants Sitti and Gravy. It is half restored warehouse and half open courtyard, which gives it a modern and rustic feel at once, and it sits in the middle of the downtown restaurant blocks.

The indoor space is fully enclosed, and the courtyard is large, with a bar, market lighting and lounge seating spread through it. The venue is easy to miss from the street, which is part of what makes it feel like a find.

What to know

• Catering comes from one of the two on-site restaurants, chosen by the host.
• Sitti serves authentic Lebanese food and Gravy is an Italian American kitchen.
• Weddings, milestone celebrations and corporate functions are the usual bookings.
• Packages are all-inclusive, so the space and the catering are arranged together.
