No place like Salvage One
Salvage One was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first spoke with the team, their communication style was open, friendly, and professional. The venue was truly unique, eclectic, and gorgeous. Working with the team, especially Colleen, was a dream - she made creating the seating chart a breeze! Such a perfect space - if you want a one of a kind atmosphere for your wedding, don't go anywhere else but Salvage One. The team went above and beyond to ensure our day was truly special and memorable.
Gorgeous venue!
We had our wedding at Salvage One in July 2023 and were so pleased with the venue. We did both our ceremony and reception in the space and our guests could not stop talking about how cool the venue was. Salvage One made it easy for all of our vendors to get loaded in and work in the space. The events team was great and professional. We had a minor issue which they helped us resolve quickly and professionally. Highly recommend Salvage One!
Fantastic Space! Awesome Team!
I have had the pleasure of doing numerous events at Salvage One and it never fail to amaze! The space is so full of character and charm, it dazzles without any effort! There's a new discovery for guests around every corner, which adds a singularly unique level of fun to every event. The Salvage One team is always upbeat, communicative, responsible and know countless ways to utilize the space for maximum impact! Truly a fantastic space and an awesome team!
