Above and beyond!

We loved working with the staff at the Ridnour room. Chrystal was so helpful, answered every email (all 150 of them lol) and was always so patient and kind! Every meeting we had with her was direct, informative, and we always left feeling excited and ready!! Our wedding day was beautiful and we couldn’t have been happier!

Wedding Review

I highly recommend booking an event at the Apothecary Lofts & Ridnour Room with Crystal. It was a perfect location in Lincoln. Our guests enjoyed the event and we had many compliments regarding the venue. Crystal was very professional. She was easy to work with and we really appreciated receiving names of vendors that could help us successfully complete our event.

Accommodating and Beautiful

The Apothecary Lofts and Ridnour Room was the perfect space for our wedding. The vibe is very historical and almost trips you back in time. Beautiful views of the Lincoln Haymarket! I loved the people who we worked with, and I felt like they genuinely wanted to build a relationship with us before the event. Communication was very easy! The upstairs lofts were cozy and perfect for the bridal party to get ready together! We also had the lofts for our wedding night, and it was so simple to just take the elevator from the reception to the loft.

Great location and a great and beautiful venue! I also love how my husband and I had so much freedom to bring in whatever beverages and catering service we wanted. We both received so many compliments from guests of how much they loved this venue!

Looking for a great venue where you can control your wedding details? The Apothecary Lofts & Ridnour Room is for you.

We held our wedding ceremony in the North Loft and reception downstairs in the Ridnour Room. We catered in our own food and beverage and decorated the way we wanted. Even the color of the accent lighting … you are in control.

Crystal and Jon were awesome to work with! They walk you through each detail of the historic venue, and give you tips as to what’s been done in past wedding and what you could do with yours. You tell them how you want to set up the chairs/tables, and they do it!

It was the perfect, centralized set-up we were looking for to accommodate our guests, especially those from out-of-town. Hotels, restaurants, bars … everything is in walking distance!

We have had a great time working with the staff at the Apothecary Lofts and Ridnour Room. They offer an affordable and beautiful venue that is the perfect place for our entire wedding weekend. We are having our rehearsal dinner in the loft with a smaller group of family and friends. Then the ceremony and reception will both be held in the Ridnour Room. It's great that they allow us to bring in our own catering and alcohol for the reception. That has saved us an incredible amount of money!
