Pricing and booking

Straight answers on price.

No guessing and no quote form to fill out first. Four social packages, three reception tiers, and business planning, every one with the room, seating, sound, games, and free parking already in it. The book lays them out side by side, what each one includes and what it does not.

Then there are two ways in. Pick the one that fits.

Not sure yet

Schedule a walkthrough.

Free, nothing owed

Come see the room, ask everything, and talk through what your day would actually look like. No deposit, no commitment. Twenty minutes and you will know if this is your spot.

Schedule a walkthrough

You know your date

Hold my date.

$50 deposit, applied to your balance

Pick your date and hours, then place a $50 deposit to take that date off the calendar. It is not an extra fee, it comes straight off what you owe. We confirm by email, then set up your free walkthrough, so you still get the full tour, your date is just already locked while you take it.

Hold my date

Only hold a date if you are sure you want it. Dates go first come, first served. The $50 comes off your final balance, so nothing is lost if you book with us. But dates are released to whoever deposits first, so a date you are still thinking about can be gone by the weekend. If you are undecided, take the walkthrough first and we will go from there.

  • Guest count fit guidance

About

Built in Saginaw.
Back for Saginaw.

My name is Childress Cannon. I'm a Saginaw native, and I took the long way home.

I graduated from The University of Queensland in Australia with degrees in Chinese and Economics. I ran track, then spent years in tech and sales, living in bigger cities out east and down south. And the whole time, the story I actually wanted to be part of was back here.

Here is the part most businesses would cut from the script: my first idea was wrong. I came home to open a coworking space, because I had worked remotely and seen them everywhere in the big cities. But Saginaw kept telling me a different story. People did not need another place to work. They needed a place to gather. Renters kept asking to host their events in the space, because there are not many mid market venues around here, and everything in the room was customizable. So I listened, and I let the community rewrite the plan.

Because here is what most hosts around here are stuck choosing between: a generic hall that hands you beige walls and a rules sheet, or spending big on a venue where your celebration turns into somebody else's show. That is the thing Chil_Space exists to fight. Your graduation, your shower, your reunion, your launch, they deserve real production.

Chil_Space opened in the fall of 2025, and in February of 2026 we moved into Fashion Square Mall. People ask, why a mall? Because I had seen venues inside malls in other parts of the country and always thought it was cool, and because I like what it says. You walk a corridor you have walked your whole life, and there is something new and alive at the end of it.

Today we host ceremonies and receptions, birthdays, graduations, nonprofit groups, business meetings, and seminars. And the moment I care about most is the first ten seconds: a host walks in, sees the room set their way, and realizes the night is theirs. Nobody remembers every detail of an event. They remember how it felt to be the one who pulled it off.

And yes, the Chil in Chil_Space comes from Childress. It is a space with my name on it, written for everyone.

Every event is a story. You set the room the way you want it. Host your thing, your own way.
