The Apothecary Lofts & Ridnour Room Reviews

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.

I used the Ridnour room for my reception. It was beautiful and Crystal was very nice and easy to work with

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 space was beautiful and the staff was very helpful and answered all of our questions. They gave my husband and I a lovely space to have our wedding reception and I highly recommend this space!

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!

We did both our ceremony and reception here. The room size was great and everything was perfect! You can bring in your own food and alcohol which saves a ton!

The Apothecary is wonderful! We were able to bring in our own food and alcohol. It was a beautiful facility and we received nothing but positive feedback from our guests. Crystal was extremely helpful and very easy to work with!

This is a great venue for a wedding reception. Crystal made everything very easy and straightforward. We were able to use our own caterer and provide our own drinks which helped a lot on the cost of our reception. Everything worked great and we had no issues. We also received our damage deposit within a week of our reception.

Excellent venue- beautiful room. The guests loved it!

Crystal was very professional and helpful. We had to do alot of work by email and phone as we live outside of Lincoln, she was very quick to respond to my email.

You can't go wrong with the Apothecary. You can choose your own catering service seperately. We had our wedding ceremony there, then the reception. Many people expressed to us that it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to because it was so relaxed and fun. Part of that is the venue. We had an unforgettable time and loved the loft.

We had a phenomenal time during our wedding! Everyone was extremely professional and very helpful through the process!

The entire staff of the Ridnour Room was great! Crystal was nice enough to sit down with me and discuss planning a wedding and helping me through a incredibly stressful and exciting time!

We were married in Vermont this summer (and also live in Vermont) and wanted to have a reception in Nebraska to celebrate with family who could not attend the wedding. Planning the reception from across the country was easier than I thought it would be because Crystal was so great to work with. This place is an incredible value, especially considering you can bring in your own food and alcohol - that saved us a ton of money! We used the North Apothecary Loft and it was perfect for us! The Loft is beautiful with wood beams and exposed brick, plus the view you get of the Haymarket from the 5th floor! All of our guests complimented the venue. We loved it!

I had home coming here and it was great

Our wedding turned out fabulous and the location was wonderful! All of our out of town family stayed at the Holiday Inn Downtown and is literally a 2 min walk to the Apothecary building. We chose the North Loft and made for a very unique setting for our wedding...I had non stop compliments! You must get the wedding package...you get the room from Noon on Friday till Noon on Sunday which gives you ample time to set up and take down all your decor. (We also did our rehearsal on Friday night) And did I mention the suite attached that has a queen sized bed and a Jacuzzi tub!? Amazing!

We also booked our honeymoon trip to Cancun through the Apothecary and got all the VIP treatment while we were in Mexico! Great value and you won't regret it! We plan on booking our next trip through them as well!

We mainly worked with Crystal but the entire staff is wonderful :) I have ZERO complaints!

Crystal was great to work with and helped us with any questions we had.

We rented the Apothecary Lofts and the Ridnour Room for 2 1/2 days and were thrilled! We held the rehearsal in the Ridnour Room followed by the rehearsal dinner in the north loft. The loft was a wonderful place for the rehearsal dinner, very cozy and private. Following the dinner, the bridal party stayed in the two lofts.....girls in the north and guys in the south. The next morning was so easy and relaxed. The girls had all morning for the hair dressers to come to them and get ready. While this was going on, we (parents and helpers) were in the Ridnour room meeting other vendors and setting up! We had 250 people for the wedding in the Ridnour room and had the reception tables, head table, cake table, etc. set up along the perimeter of the room. The wedding was beautiful!! We then had all the guests exit the Ridnour room as the couple walked out through them. While this was happening we transformed the Ridnour room for the reception. Guests walked back in and couldn't believe it was the same place! The food was set up in the room off to the side of the kitchen and the cake was right outside that door. We also had a full dance band. It was a spectacular evening. Following the reception the newly married couple stayed in the north loft and some of their out-of-town bridal party stayed in the south loft. We did not have a gift-opening the next morning which gave us plenty of time for clean -up.

One of the best things about our wedding weekend was that it was all under one roof! The wedding party (and parents) were so relaxed not having to run all over the place. We did not have to provide extra transportation or extra rooms for the wedding party to get ready in. We could choose all our own vendors and do anything we wanted to do ourselves. The Apothecary staff was very helpful with ideas and answering our questions. I would highly recommend the Apothecary Lofts and Ridnour Room!

We set a date extremely last minute and we were surprised at how well we were accommodated! It was absolutely wonderful and a huge weight off this brides shoulders!

The Rindour is a great option to bring in your own food and catering. Hardest part is getting everything out the night of the wedding.

We booked the Ridnour Room for our wedding reception mainly so we could choose our own catering. It was perfect for that purpose, and in many other ways. Crystal was absolutely wonderful to work with, very flexible and eager to answer any questions to help us have a great reception. The space is beautiful, with wonderful lights, sound system, and tables and chairs. The check-out time of 2am worked good for us, giving us ample time to tear down after dancing. We highly recommend the Ridnour Room!

This was a very elegant reception, we enjoyed the whole weekend wish we could have stayed longer on Sunday felt rushed,
