Cellar 54

Cellar 54 is the underground event space beneath the Forge Building in downtown Salem, and it doubles as our home base, Apogee's studio is in the same building. We hold the photo booth exclusive here, the Queen booth is resident, and we ran the booth at the grand opening. This is the working guide to sound, booth placement, and the packages that fit this room.

Setup notes from inside the building

Sound stays underground

The room sits below street level, and the acoustics work in your favor. Music fills the space cleanly without bleeding outside, so a full dance floor downtown never turns into a noise complaint.

The booth sets up on the stone wall

Our kiosk booths run against the gray stacked-stone wall, which photographs well on its own. Want more shine, we bring sequin backdrops, the silver and pink ones both got a workout at the grand opening.

The Queen lives here

The Queen, our premium DSLR booth with AI options, is resident at Cellar 54. It is already in the building, so there is no booth load-in to schedule around.

Our gear is down the hall

Apogee's studio is inside the Forge Building, the same building as Cellar 54. Short load-in, backup gear steps away, and no travel fee, same as everywhere in Salem and Keizer.

Sized for 100 to 200 guests

Cellar 54 holds 100 to 200 and hosts weddings, private dinners, corporate events, and live performances. We size the sound system to the headcount, dinner-level for a corporate reception, full rig for a wedding dance floor.

Book the room first, then us

Book your date with the Cellar 54 team directly, then send it to us. Apogee has held the photo booth exclusive here since the venue recently opened, and we are the exclusive photo booth provider for the room.

Having worked on many events with Apogee Events, I can say that their performance is top of the line. The staff is professional, easy to work with, and present great ideas for room design, music selection, and Emcee services. Their photo booths are easy to use and produce excellent quality photos, videos, and memories.

Highly recommend working with Apogee. We are very busy and had little time or energy, but wanted the wedding of our dreams. They made it happen with little help from us. They offer all the services you may need.
