    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!

    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.

    The Apothecary Lofts & Ridnour Room's reply:

    Cassandra,

    Thank you for taking the time to sit down and write this wonderful review. You and Spencer were a joy to work with and we are so thankful you chose us to host your wedding celebrations!!
