I'm constantly recommending Artspace 111 as a wedding venue. From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive and accommodating. We got married in January... outside... and ...OF COURSE it rained. Our coordinator, Brandi, was so helpful in making everything go smoothly from start to finish. We decided to keep the wedding outside and get married in the rain, and she totally rolled with the punches! She was never afraid to be the "bad guy" when it came to getting guests to get a move on (seriously, people totally forget how weddings work, so they need someone to guide them every. single. step. of. the. way.), and on the day-of, she took care of everything and didn't tell me stressful things or bad news unless totally necessary (she had to tell me that yes, it was going to rain all during my ceremony, and she did it in a way that didn't stress me out). Not to mention, we had a 3 month engagement, so she was on it from the get-go. She never made us feel like ANYTHING we wanted was weird or bad, but she did give us some incredible advice that saved us a lot of time and money. Brandi was a huge reason why we loved Artspace 111.
The bridal suite was so nice and perfect for a party of our size (myself, mom, step-mom, and 5 bridesmaids) and it looked so nice in the pictures! There are beautiful spots for photos ALL over the place, here. My favorite was with the Art-O-Matic (like a vending machine but for little art pieces). Our photographer got such cute shots of my husband and I putting in the tokens and choosing our first little art pieces as husband and wife.
The nice thing about this place is that there is really very little decorating that needs to be done! We had a really nice exhibit in the reception area during our wedding, so we didn't do much decorating at all! Just some candles and table runners, and it looked perfect. The outside area was INCREDIBLE. seriously, we did zero decorating out there. Literally NONE, and it was totally perfect.
They also have staff and bartenders that can come in and help. We had catering from Ginger Brown's, which was pick-up only, and I didn't even have to send a friend to go pick it up, they did it for me. When we ended our wedding about an hour early (we didn't need the whole time slot they had allotted for us), Brandi even reimbursed me the leftover money from the staff.
In the very beginning of our engagement, we had our hearts set on another venue that ended up being way too expensive, and when we found this place it was less than half of the price of the other place. Now, when we talk about our wedding and look at the beautiful pictures, we agree that we were SO glad that we chose Artspace 111!
