Beautiful venue!!! Loved it!!

My husband and I got engaged in May 2023 and when it came to searching for a venue, there were so many things to consider; venue size, location, charm, accommodations, and most importantly, price!

We checked out multiple venues and this one checked all the boxes! When I walked in the first time, I fell in love with the charm the place had and loved how unique it was! For starters, the venue was stunning and it spoke for itself! The get ready spaces were the biggest I’d seen of all the venues we visited; super spacious and could easily fit 8+ people in there without feeling crammed! I also loved that the venue offered a day-of coordinator to help ensure everything goes smoothly on wedding day. They hosted multiple “open house” events, which allowed people to come in and speak with different vendors they typically work with, such as catering, DJ, flowers, etc. This was such an awesome idea because otherwise I would have no clue where to start for finding out vendors! It also allowed us to see the venue with different styles of decor and it gave us ideas for what we would want for our wedding day too! Speaking of which, the venue had a plethora of decor to choose from which could be rented which was really nice! When it came to planning, the venue offered a portal which was the primary form of communication with the staff members, they were quick to respond and super helpful!

In May 2024, my husband and I got married here and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice!! On the day of and the days after, we had so many of our friends and family coming up to us, sharing how much they loved the venue!

We would certainly recommend this venue to anyone who’s looking to get married! I hope to visit again one day for a loved one’s wedding, because I truly could not get enough of this beautiful building!❤️

BIG THANK YOU to the staff members of Historic venue of 1902, who made our special day so beautiful and memorable!!

Libby & Devon wedding

I cannot recommend this venue enough. The staff is INCREDIBLE and so helpful. The venue comes with a day of coordinator who you meet with periodically before the big day- which was super helpful and you don't have to worry hiring an outside vendor for the planning. The location is also amazing, very close to downtown if you are interested in continuing the party, or even to do a rehearsal dinner nearby. The communication was always timely and super helpful throughout this entire process. Anytime I felt stressed, I would talk to their team and instantly felt better. The getting ready room for both the bride and groom were so spacious and was a perfect place to hang out. The venue itself was beautiful and very well priced. So many people have asked me about it and complimented our wedding. This venue and the staff truly made our day nothing short of perfect and I would highly recommend them to anybody and I wish I could re-live it all over again.

Everyone should get married here!

My husband and I got married at 1902 and we have nothing but great things to say about them! They were extremely professional the entire time, very responsive with emails, and was there for any issues day of. We didn't have to wait days for a response if we needed to email them with a question, there was always someone available to answer our questions! We had a few last minute changes after our final counts were submitted and there was no problem getting things switched around. Everything went so smoothly with them! We can't recommend them enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Venue 1902 is one of the most unique venues out there. The owners have done an AMAZING job with renovating the building from inside out but they were still able to keep the history of Downtown Sanford within it which makes it even more amazing. With the way they designed the reception hall upstairs, it is a blank canvas for any bride to make her wedding the way she wants to make it!
