Colonia Juárez, CDMX

Do Not Get Married at Liverpool 76.

An open letter about Table Studio, the wedding venue at Liverpool 76 that is disrupting the peace for neighbors of la Juárez

Dear soon-to-be-married couple currently scrolling through Instagram for the perfect Mexico City venue,

We get it. The early 20th century architecture, the beautiful garden, the carefully curated aesthetic — it all looks stunning in the photos. Table Studio (@_tablestudio) has a beautiful feed. What it does not have is a permit to operate a wedding venue in a residential building.

Colonia Juárez is our home. The apartment buildings around Liverpool 76 where people live, sleep, work, and try to have normal lives. Every weekend, that becomes impossible. The music pounds through our walls until the early hours. We can hear your drunk guests yelling. The building shakes. Our children cannot sleep. Our elderly neighbors are trapped in noise they never consented to.

This is not a nightclub district. This is not a commercial zone. This is a residential address being illegally exploited as an event space, week after week, while the people who actually live here suffer the consequences of someone else's business model.

We have filed complaints. We have informed the authorities. We have asked politely, then firmly, then desperately. Nothing has changed. So now we are talking to you — the customers — because maybe you will care more about ethics than Table Studio does about its neighbors.

Your dream day is someone else's nightmare.

Your wedding should be a celebration of love, not a source of misery for an entire block of buildings with families. There are hundreds of licensed, legal, beautiful venues in Mexico City that would be thrilled to host you. Please choose one of them.

With exhaustion and hope,

The Story

Liverpool 76 is a house built in the early 1900s in Colonia Juárez — a residential neighborhood with over a century of history. It was once inhabited by the infamous revolutionary Pancho Villa. The building sits in between the streets of Liverpool and Marsella, sharing walls with other residential buildings on both streets.

In the garden at the center of the block — surrounded on all sides by a dozen residential buildings where families have lived for decades — Table Studio set up shop. In 2024, they began marketing the space on social media as a premium wedding venue.

No community input. No permits. Just a beautiful Instagram feed and a total disregard for the people who actually live here.

The Location

The garden where events are held is surrounded by a dozen residential buildings where people live. Many of these buildings share walls with the venue or have windows directly facing the garden. Every sound, every bass drop, every drunk cheer travels straight into people's homes.

The Event

Your special day lasts what — six to ten hours? How lovely. For us it lasts a couple of days.

Days before your grand entrance, the setup crews arrive. Power tools, hammering, trucks unloading equipment at dawn. Tables, stages, lighting rigs, a power plant (gas powered) — all assembled right in the middle of our homes. For days. Then comes the event itself: hours of music so loud our walls vibrate, your guests screaming over each other, bass that rattles our windows until 2 or 3 in the morning.

But wait — it doesn't end when you leave in your getaway car. The teardown starts for us to rejoice in the noise (most of the times right after you leave). More hammering. More trucks. More workers shouting. Hours and hours of it. By the time the garden is finally empty again, we've endured nearly 3 days of disruption so you could have one night of dancing.

Congratulations on your marriage. We'll be recovering from while you enjoy your honeymoon.

The Risks

Did you know the building suffered structural damage in the 1985 earthquake?

Hundreds of guests, heavy sound equipment, vibrations from music — in a building that has never been assessed for that kind of load. No event permit means no safety inspections, no fire code compliance, no emergency protocols. Every wedding here is a liability waiting to happen.
