    The perfect venue!

    We can’t possibly say enough good things about artifact. Christine was so helpful throughout the entire process leading up and was very responsive to all my questions. She was very thorough on our final walk through and made sure everything was set up exactly how we pictured it. The bar staff at our wedding were professional and fun. Venue manager Pete checked in with us several times throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed. The venue is so beautiful and our photos are amazing. This was the perfect venue for us and we had so much fun.

    100% Reccomend!

    We had our April 2023 wedding in the south venue of Artifact Events and it was absolutely perfect. Jen was incredibly professional and friendly from the day of our first tour, throughout the entire planning process and the big day. She was always prompt to respond to my many emails and always willing to talk through any questions or thoughts I had. Artifact Events was also very accommodating to us and our vendors, willing to find solutions and help us set up everything how we wanted and making recommendations when requested.

    The day of the wedding their staff were incredibly professional and helpful - they helped guide people around and answer any and all questions, assisted with all ADA accommodations requested by individual guests, and the bartenders were amazing - no long lines and people were able to quickly grab drinks and get on the dance floor!

    Finally the space itself was beautiful - we had rainy weather and were able to do photos throughout the space before the ceremony. Our ceremony was beautiful with the soft light from the rainy day, and the layout provides a beautiful natural flow to the event. Every space made for a beautiful backdrop for our professional photos and the ones our guests took throughout the night.

    In the end there is nothing I would have changed about having my wedding at Artifact Events - the entire experience was perfect, from the beauty of the venue to the professional and top tier service provided by the entire staff.

    Amazing Wedding with Artifact Events

    We are so thrilled that we chose Artifact Events for our wedding ceremony and reception. Christine and her team were always ready to answer our questions and give suggestions about what would work best for our wedding in the AE space. The staff was extremely helpful on our wedding day and the bar team was wonderful during our reception. We can't recommend Artifact Events enough!

    The Perfect Venue!

    Artifact Events was the PERFECT venue for my wife and I to get married in on 3/7/2020. Everyone who works there has been such a pleasure to work with and made our entire process easy. We used the North Atrium and it was honestly our favorite thing about our whole wedding. All of our guests loved the industrialized look; it was so romantic and comfortable for our guest count of 175. Christine was very enjoyable and professional to work with. It helps that our vendors all worked in the space before - we did not have to worry about a thing before we arrived. We highly recommend using this venue!

    Gorgeous venue, great flow for the space

    Our venue search was pretty much over before it began - as soon as we walked in, my fiance saw the look on my and my sister's face and knew that everywhere else was going to pale in comparison. Lucky for us, it was everything we needed, and at a comparable/reasonable price for a venue that can hold 200 in the city. Sachiko was responsive and professional, and was proactive about communicating changes to the space as it transitioned from being an antique store to solely an event space. The space is accessible, felt both bustling but not too crowded at 175 people (200 might have felt a bit tight but manageable), and they were very flexible about dropping in to look at the space, dropping wedding items off the day before, etc. My only drawback is that it is a little dark - and the additional lighting that pretty much every wedding example that we looked at in the space will add about $2000 to your budget. Otherwise, it was an absolutely perfect space that was unique, impressive and just what we had in mind for a city wedding! (Beautiful photography by Angela Renee Photography)

    We had our daughter's September wedding and reception at AE and it was absolutely perfect. It's an amazing magical space with an urban chic feel, exposed brick and super high ceilings; the perfect backdrop for our event. We had the ceremony outside in the courtyard, followed by cocktail hour in the lounge area off the courtyard. The dinner and dancing was in the atrium on the north side of the space, with sit down dinner and a large dance area. Christine and Micah were both very professional and easy to work with, and the entire event was perfect. We really lucked out with the weather and were able to have the ceremony outside but one of the things I really liked about AE is the rain plan would have required no compromises. There are several indoor ceremony options that are all viable and beautiful.

    Our wedding at Architectural Artifacts was more that we could have hoped for!! We used both the atrium space and the new loft space for our ceremony and reception. The sequence of events flowed wonderfully through the space and didn't require any "flipping" of rooms. We picked this venue because of it's unique character and the wonderful assortment of artifacts. For decor we added very little and let the venue's beautiful artifacts take center stage. I would note that since this is an operational store, artifacts and layout are likely to change from the date you book until the actual event, we loved that aspect of the space as it was constantly changing. A couple looking for everything to exactly a certain way should be aware of this going in. We experienced a staff change a couple months before our wedding and the transition was handled very professionally, the new staff did a wonderful job of catering to our needs and coordinating with our vendors on the day of.

    This was a fabulous venue for us. Unique, Fun, and Spacious. The staff is very helpful, Rachel is the director of the venue and is super nice and easy to work with. She definitely put us at ease. She has been in the wedding industry for quite some time and helped us to feel confident in our vendors. After our wedding we have gotten tons and tons of compliments on the venue, people were very impressed. And, our band sounded great with the high ceilings!

    Jamie at Atrium Events coordianed my daughter's wedding in Dec 2012 at Architectural Artifacts. We knew the venue would be asweome, what we didn't know was how wonderful Jamie would be and how much extra effort and care she put into getting everything just the way my daugheter and her fiance wanted it. Everyone who attended was woed and we have had soooo many compliments on the wedding venue, decor, etc.

    I could not have asked for a better place to have our wedding!!!! Marie is amazing!!!!!! She is so helpful and great at calming all my mom's fears. She coordinated everything flawlessly and we did not have to stress or worry. She even had a few surprised for us!!!! The space is incredible!!!!!! If you are looking fo a unique and enchanting space, this is it!!!!! The photo oppurtunities were endless. Our guests kept commenting on how much fun they had walking around and exploring the artifacts. The price is not bad for the city, just be prepared that you have to do a lot of coordinating, but they do give you great suggestions for caterers, photographers, dj's, etc.

    We loved the venue the second we saw it and when we met Marie, the events coordinator, we knew the place was for us. Marie was warm, professional and incredibly helpful throughout our planning process. She was flexible with our ideas, and encouraged us to be creative with the space, and really put our stamp on our wedding. She even came through for us when our decorations fell through -- the day OF the wedding.

    The space was classy, interesting, and lent itself to our creative whims well. Our guests seemed to really enjoy the non-traditional venue as well, and we're still hearing about how amazing the venue was.

    For brides and grooms: I would recommend taking the 15 minutes to take Marie up on her kind offer to set aside a small space for you to be "alone" after the ceremony. We didn't, and found ourselves without a single minute to just BE together without anyone else around. The open-loft style is great, but there aren't any "walls" between rooms.

    Overall, It was perfect, wonderful and the best day of our lives. Good luck to you!

    We've loved visiting Architectural Artifacts for years, so the space holds a special place in our hearts. We wanted to share this unique experience with our friends and family for our wedding. We choose to have our ceremony in the courtyard and the reception in the North Atrium, where guests are allowed to wander among the trinkets. Overall, our experience was great. There was a bit of confusion when our original contact left, and we had to adjust a few plans (no projected music in the courtyard due to neighborhood guidelines, no sparklers) but the team was SO helpful to find ways to work around the challenges. Yes, we were still able to have our live band play and be heard in the courtyard win-win! In the end, we were delighted with how everything came together. Liz is just wonderful to work with. Plus, the venue is just beautiful and is unlike any I've ever seen.

    We got married at Architectural Artifacts in August of this year. It was so wonderful. Marie is very easy to get in touch with and was so helpful with a couple special requests that we had. They let you use the pieces in the store as part of your decor and will move it for you before your big day! It is NOT air conditioned which I think scares alot of people away from this space. We were unfortunate to have literally the hottest day of the summer- but hey, it happens. Most people hope for no rain- we hoped for no heat! The space is amazing, unique and unforgettable. We had so many compliments. Thanks again to Marie and her staff! Alicia and Ryan

    I found Rachel extremely helpful. She worked very hard to execute your vision and had great suggestions and ideas regarding logistics from both the venue side as well as from the catering side. She truly wants your day to be perfect and run smoothly!

    Artifact Events was a beautiful venue for our Winter Ceremony. Liz Joritz was easy to work with and the space worked wonderfully for our family photos! Would definitely recommend AE and the South Loft space overlooking the Ravenswood neighborhood!

    We had some...mixed experiences with Architectural Artifacts. Between the date we selected this venue, and the date of our wedding they went through several changes in staff (but left us out of the loop). We sent an email to our original contact person there, and she was shocked to know that we weren't aware that she wasn't employed there anymore. Definitely a little awkward. The venue itself is truly beautiful, and the people we ended up working with at the end were very pleasant. We were billed for a few items that were not in our original contract, luckily we got that cleared up before the final payment was made. Despite a few...bumps in the road, we ended up having a beautiful wedding day (both ceremony and reception were there). We were able to utilize the outdoor space, which was quite nice. Yes this is an expensive venue, but it's definitely one of a kind.
