About Casa Nueva
From an Old Dry Cleaner to a Modern Event Space
Casa Nueva started as an old, unused building on Fort Avenue. A space most people drove past without thinking twice. But when the owners first walked through the doors, they saw potential. Tall ceilings, wide open floors, light pouring in… underneath the clutter was a venue waiting to be reborn.
What stands today is the result of that vision: a bright, open 4,600-square-foot event space, restored from the ground up and modernized without losing its character. The old becoming new, the forgotten becoming a place of connection and life-long memories.
Meet the Power house DUo Behind Casa NUeva
Casa Nueva was created by Erica Kerns-Calfee and her husband, Daryl, owner of Penny Lane Properties. The duo shares a love for restoration, hospitality, and creating spaces that bring people together.
Erica is the founder of Palmera House, a cozy café and plant boutique on Bedford Avenue known for its stunning design, warm atmosphere, wine selection, and events.
Casa Nueva is the larger extension of that heart. It’s where the big moments happen: weddings, galas, fundraisers, and celebrations that deserve room to unfold.
