  • Unbelievably perfect fall venue!!!

    Historic Venue 1902 was the lagniappe we needed to make our Florida/Louisiana flare wedding become a stunning reality!! From the beginning of booking to the fruition of our event, the staff was incredibly helpful, engaged, and excitable about bringing our vision to life. They were always quick to respond on Honeybook or via zoom or in person to meet our needs. The team absolutely rolled with all of my ideas, letting me make the big decisions while providing thoughtful suggestions where necessary. The venue itself is absolutely stunning - a huge, classic and elegant space that was laid out perfectly to accommodate the different portions of our event. The venue as a blank canvas is enough, but really shone with the additional vendors. My husband and I only needed one visit to know this team and venue were conducive to our vision. As a type A, organized bride, the team really brought the coordination to life for me!! I was not stressed at all the day of and I kid you not- not a single thing went wrong or amiss. I would not change a single thing. We had the dream wedding and I wish I could do it all over again.

  • Best day at the best venue!

    We absolutely adore Historic Venue 1902! My now husband and I were married on 10.25.24 and had an absolutely amazing day. The Venue 1902 went above and beyond - the team was professional, personable, communicative and just absolutely on top of every detail. They made our day so special and allowed us to breathe easy knowing all the details were handled. They handled our last minute snags with ease and settled any issues without a second thought. I knew when we walked into the Venue 1902 in April 2023 that it would be where would be married and I’m so thankful that we said yes! We have overwhelmingly positive feedback from all of our loved ones about it being such a beautiful day. Venue 1902 is absolute perfect venue with gorgeous character and an incredible team! We couldn’t have had our day without them.

  • Wonderful experience

    Historic Venue 1902 was an amazing choice for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication was very professional and understanding. They were quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns. The venue itself is a huge, beautiful space and was extremely affordable, which was important to us. Due to a hurricane just a few days before our big day, they called to update us on everything and were extremely flexible as we didn't know the final guest count since many couldn't make it out. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect despite the weather challenges. We are so grateful to Historic Venue 1902 for making our wedding dreams a reality!

    The best decision you can make is to get married at Venue 1902! I followed them even before I was engaged and I'm so happy I did because they are the absolute BEST venue. The space is beautiful and unique in the best way, and has so many different special areas that you can utilize for your big day. We had so many compliments about the venue and how wonderful it was. In addition to a beautiful space they have a WONDERFUL staff who were incredible in assisting our coordinator with flipping our ceremony space into our reception space. They are responsive and have wonderful coordinator recommendations so be sure to utilize every resource they offer! I will forever be thankful that we were able to have our wedding here and this space will forever hold a special place in my heart. If you're looking for a beautiful, unique, and diverse wedding venue, book Venue 1902!
