Which of the following wedding events does your venue service?
We didn't even look at any other venues because we knew Salvage One was the perfect choice for us! Barely needed any decor, and so many cool things to look at. Our guests loved the eclectic style and we felt right at home with all the vintage mish mash of the space. Communication with the venue was on point! Definitely a splurge, but well worth the price considering we skipped floral and other miscellaneous decoration expenses as the space is already so funky.

Gorgeous venue!
Salvage One was an absolutely amazing venue for our 2023 wedding. Colleen is extremely friendly and professional, great at accommodating last minute changes to the best of her ability, and very communicative. If you’re looking for a venue that is a bit untraditional and will give you gorgeous wedding photos, this is it!

Beautiful 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!
