My partner and I had an awful experience trying to arrange our wedding here. After an hour-long tour of the space where the owner, April, took notes in pencil on the back of an envelope, we left a deposit to hold our date and inquired about pricing for two uses of the space. After five weeks of calls, texts, and emails, we simply never got an answer about how much it would cost to rent the space. Instead, we got updates about April's personal life, her desire to hire an assistant, and excuses about why she couldn't deliver us a contract. We wound up booking a different venue that was responsive to our messages. After we informed April that we would be going a different direction, she CASHED OUR DEPOSIT even though we had never signed a thing with her. THEN, six months later, her assistant called us to demand MORE MONEY to hold our date since other couples were inquiring about the space. I was appalled that I was getting this call and was very stern on the phone that we were simply unable to do business because our extremely normal request for a price on the space. Truth believed, I was in such shock that I was getting a call about having a wedding there AT ALL considering I had cancelled six months earlier! I very strongly recommend against working with this venue.
We hosted my sister's bridal shower here with about 40 people. The venue is a beautiful space, and April and her team were so great to work with! From booking to the event day, April and her team were extremely responsive and flexible as needed. They made sure the space was clean, set up the tables, and even matched the artwork to the event theme.
I would definitely recommend Mulberry Art Studios!
Our wedding at Mulberry was fantastic! It was the perfect venue for what we wanted. April was great and worked with us through the entire process. Throughout the entire year April was always available through text or phone call. She was generous with her various closets of decor and really listened to the vision we had for our wedding. Did we have to do some setup? Yes, but that was okay with us (and I am a Type-A person) so it worked out. I think that having a binder filled with notes and pictures was helpful, along with a day of coordinator to pull it all together. Our caterer also worked well with April at the venue and everything seemed to run super smoothly and on time.
DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO DO THE VENUE’S JOB!!!! At first this venue seemed absolutely perfect! It’s beautiful and April seemed so lovely and helpful.. It turned into a disaster. From the very start April assured me that she and her crew would set up the rooms for us and we didn’t need to worry about anything but decorating, she assured me that changing the Mulberry room from the ceremony to reception area would be no problem and timely, and she maintained that most of all she wanted my vision of my dream wedding to come true. The day before the wedding when we had arrived to decorate the venue, April had not done anything to get it ready for us. She had not cleaned, not fixed lights that were burned out, no tables or chairs were brought out or set up, and the whole venue was stuffed with all of her junk—random decorations, paperwork, fake plants, supplies, etc. We had to clean out the entire space FOR her, when she had insisted the space would be ready for us upon arrival. It took us four hours (and by “us” I mean my amazing bridal party and family, a total of 14 people) to clear everything out. When I asked her why things were not ready for us, and if she could show us where to get linens and tables and chairs (again, this was her job to do, not ours) she responded extremely rudely and told me I was setting her behind schedule. The entire day she and her staff did next to nothing to help us set up—when it was their job to have cleared out the space for us. In fact, while we were all running around to get stuff done, April asked us if we could organize one of her storage rooms and water her plants. April told us they didn’t set up for us because she knew I had people coming to help me (meaning she expected free labor and for us to do her job). It nearly ruined the whole venue, as we had other things to do that day and almost didn’t even have time to finish decorating the space! April was very rude during the process and one of her staff, James, got in my face and yelled at me at one point, which made the whole day very difficult for me, the bride, who already had a lot on my mind. If we had not had 14 of our own people there to help us it would have never gotten done—and the large amount of people needed to clean up her stuff shows just how dirty, cluttered, and unprepared the venue was when we arrived. The day of the wedding was also a disaster. April had not finished hanging artwork in the ceremony room—and 15 minutes before the ceremony began she was still trying to hang artwork while guests were waiting to be seated, including older guests who needed to sit down. When the room needed to be changed over from the ceremony to the reception, April had originally assured us that she would be able to do so in the hour and a half we gave her during the cocktail hour. April took an extra hour and therefore dinner was set back an hour late (food was cold because the caterer had planned on the original time and schedule we had given them), the photographer had to leave before we finished everything we were supposed to, and there was barely time for dancing because the DJ left at the time originally scheduled for as well. The extra hour April took from us cost us dancing time, photos that we were looking forward to have taken, and guests who were unhappy with their meals. The caterer told us that this is always the case when they work with April. April also tried to blame her lateness on us, and again was very rude.
Our wedding at Mulberry Art Studios was absolutely lovely! Each part was thoughtfully tailored and customized for us. From displaying our personal artwork to adding beautiful accents along the windows and ledges to compliment our theme, and surprising us with stunning bride and groom seating it was elegant and lovely. The talents of April and her staff are unmatched. Thank you for a most wonderful wedding!
April and her staff were kind and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. The flexibility with this venue is unparalleled - almost every aspect of our event was hand tailored (drinks, menu, seating arrangements, time frames, etc.) and April went above and beyond to accommodate each detail and adding in her own suggestions so nothing was forgotten or overlooked. She acted as our “unofficial wedding planner” to ensure our day went smoothly. April collaborated with us to help create our special day - it was certainly a joint effort and we could not have done it without her. Although we, the couple, were admittedly laid back, April handled our “bridezilla” family members with ease.
On the day of the event, there was nothing to do but enjoy it because April had taken care and thought of every single detail. Her expertise and knowledge in event planning and her unique venue had our guests raving after the event. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you April! I would highly recommend this vendor if you want help in creating a vision for your event; Mulberry Art Studios will make it spectacular and unforgettable.
My friends got married at Mulberry Art Studios and it was such a beautiful and unique venue. They were able to host their rehearsal/dinner as well as the wedding and reception all there in one weekend, which was convenient for everyone involved. So many wedding guests complimented the venue and art.
April was incredibly helpful in the planning process, and really brought the bride and groom's vision to life. She made sure everything went smoothly from the time my friends chose the venue until we cleaned up the day after the wedding. It was impressive how much was included from the studios at no extra cost -- art, linens, candles, centerpieces and other decorative items. I would definitely recommend Mulberry Art Studios!
My friend and her husband had their rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and wedding reception at Mulberry…and it was beyond perfect! The building itself is beautiful and has SO much character.
April and her team were amazing and helped with every last detail, which was so helpful to the bride and groom. The staff is so friendly and they all were so dedicated to make sure everything ran smoothly. I loved that the bride & groom were able to pick art pieces from April’s inventory for display during the wedding…I felt like it added a personal touch. I also was astonished by how many candles, linens, and decorative pieces they had in their inventory to use for the big day! April was definitely a go-to resource and it was obvious that she genuinely cared.
If you’re thinking about using any/all of this space for a wedding, party, gathering etc…then do it! You won’t be disappointed.
My husband and I got married and had our reception in the Mulberry Gallery. We also had our rehearsal dinner the night before in the Louise Gallery. April and the Mulberry staff were incredible especially during the planning process. Anytime I would call with questions or ask to stop in to review plans, April and her staff were extremely helpful and made themselves available. The staff made sure that everything was cleaned up Friday night and set up for the Saturday wedding. We were SO happy with our experience before, during and after. April is so kind and wants to understand how to provide the best experience for her customers. You can tell she loves what she does.
The venue itself is beautiful with hardwood floors and beautiful brick walls. The lighting is whimsical and being able to pick out your art makes each event unique. They have a TON of candles, centerpieces, silk flowers, table numbers, serving dishes, and decor to use and no extra cost for your wedding, which can be a huge cost saving and convenience. I loved not having to purchase, transport and then figure out what to do with every little thing after the wedding. There is also a wide selection of linens in the basement to choose from.
We had 85 attendees at the wedding that fit very comfortably in the space. You could definitely comfortably fit more than 100. We loved the downstairs space so that our elderly guests could easily get from room to room including restrooms. The upstairs space is also beautiful with a similar look and exposed brick walls. There is also a spacious bridal suite upstairs with beautiful natural light.
I would most definitely recommend this venue for weddings, parties and gatherings. Thank you to April and the Mulberry Staff!
We had so much fun working with April and her team! April had so many great ideas and really helped bring our wedding vision to life and make our day better than we could have imagined! She was very flexible when COVID changed our original plans and is such a warm, caring person. We loved picking out artwork for our wedding and being able to customize based on our theme. There are also closets full of candles, vases, and other decorations that really helped pull everything together. We also rented our linens from April (she has every color you could possibly imagine!) and some beautiful dinnerware to match our colors. Our guests really enjoyed the venue and we got many compliments on how unique and beautiful it was! We definitely recommend choosing Mulberry Arts Studio for any event you’re planning!
My husband and I had our reception here on February 29th 2020. Throughout the process April and her team where extremely helpfully. They answered all our questions and concerns and they made our big day perfect. April is someone who goes above and beyond to help you and see everything you want. She helped me take my vision of what I wanted at my reception into a reality. Our reception was beautiful and everything I hoped and dreamed it would be. She was extremely hopefully with my family members who helped my husband and I because we wanted to do most of the things ourselves. They are affordable and for the service they provide, I highly recommend.
Ms. April was the best. I has no idea how the reception room was going to look she asked me to trust her to make it beautiful and she did that. For the first time in my life I felt like Cinderella. Ms. April had everything to do with that and I thank her and her staff. I will definitely be back . Love you guys!!!
If I could give the studio 10 stars I would.
April and the staff here went above and beyond to make our wedding day magical!
We had nothing planned 2 months before our wedding date but April helped us SO much with planning and decorating, which gave us a lot more peace and more excitement instead of stress for our wedding day. The day of the wedding was a dream! We had all the care we needed and the whole room was beautiful! Our families came out from California and couldnt stop talking about how amazing everything turned out! We definitely reccomend having your wedding/reception here!
My husband threw me a stunning surprise birthday party in the smaller space at Mulberry Art Studios. It was just perfect. The room was gorgeous and the attention to detail was impeccable. What a perfect night it was!
My husband and I were married on August 16th, 2019 and had our reception at the Mulberry Art Studio. We went into our first meeting with a really rough idea of what we wanted and then April took us on an amazing journey that would end with our big day. April's attention to details as will as her vast variety of wedding supplies and years of experience was not only mind-easing but bought things to mind for us that we wouldn't have thought for ourselves. The end result was a magic day for us, our family's and guest. Thank you April and the staff of Mulberry Art Studio.
Our big day was absolutely outstanding thanks to April and her staff. Our guests loved the reception and have been raving about it ever since. The attention to detail and thought that was put into making the room exactly the way we wanted really showed. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an event to remember.
As the father of the Groom I had an opportunity to not only participate in the ceremony, but to get to know some of the staff at Mulberry. I can't speak highly enough of them. Speaking for the entire wedding party, we were treated with the upmost courtesy and friendliness.
We had relatives traveling several thousand miles to the wedding, and we were dealing with numerous logistic challenges. If Mulberry had not been so accommodating and helpful, the day would not have been the great occasion it was.
I highly recommend Mulberry Art Studios to anyone looking for a unique and supportive location for their wedding.
My wife and I recently got married at Mulberry Art Studios and we couldn’t have had a better experience. Not only is the venue amazing but April and her team went above and beyond during the entire wedding planning process. I would 100% recommend Mulberry Art Studios for anyone looking for an amazing wedding experience.
If you are looking for a venue to celebrate your special occasion you need to look no further once you meet April! Her kindness, love, and passion shines through with all the planning involved in your special day.
My daughter’s wedding was two weeks ago and we are all still on “cloud 9” remembering what a magical night it was. April and her “crew” took care of every detail to make sure Abbey’s wedding was everything she ever dreamed of and more!
My husband and I renewed our vows in July of 2019 and had the most beautiful time at Mulberry Art Studio! I love April and all of the staff at MAS ❤️
As the 5 star rating says, "The best EVER!", and I could not agree more, (I wish I could give them more stars!). I cannot thank April and her crew enough for taking my visions for our wedding day and making them come true (and for just being so awesome). From the second I walked into Mulberry and met April, I knew we had to get a date on the calendar for our wedding ASAP. April is one of a kind and she is one of the biggest reasons we picked Mulberry. My husband and I saw many venues, but once we met April, we were sold. She made us feel so comfortable and there wasn't anything we asked of her and her crew that they either didn't get done, or try their hardest to make it happen. Not only was there so much that Mulberry had to offer, but they were accommodating and made us feel special.
They were very responsive and available and it was truly the best day, and Mulberry played a huge role in making our day go as smoothly and lovely as possible. Our families just kept saying how beautiful the venue was and how kind the workers were. The day and venue was truly magical. I would HIGHLY recommend Mulberry Art Studio to anyone who is looking to have the wedding of their dreams :).
First I’d like to say thank you to April and her staff for taking me under their wings. Working with Mulberry was more than just a wedding planning experience. I immediately felt at home since we walked through the door. April is a true visionary. She was able to take our ideas and bring them to life, making our wedding the most romantic day ever. Every time I visited Mulberry to work on planning I was greeted with snacks. They really know how to keep the bride happy. Amongst hospitality, Mulberry offered a wide variety of linens and decor which we all know can be hard to worry about. For an affordable price you’re able to rent these items. The selection of art available for your event is phenomenal. April collects many pieces over time, so there’s many sentiments attached to each piece. Mulberry has a menagerie of vintage vibes. The old elevator and the bakery vents are two very unique components within Mulberry. If nothing previously mentioned makes you fall in love with Mulberry, then the gorgeous canopies will. As soon as I saw the canopy with the chandelier in The “Mulberry Room” I was in love. We knew that this was the place. I don’t think I’ll ever come across such a place with such amazing individuals any time soon.
Working with April and her team was great! They were so accommodating to a lot of personalities and all of the details to my vision. As a designer, I had a lot other ideas and April was patient and helpful throughout the planning stages. She met with all of my various vendor contacts and helped everyone with their part of the special day. From getting in early to set up, down to the flexibility of the event breakdown, you can truly plan and design your dream wedding in this space. MAS is nestled in the heart of the west side of Lancaster and a short walk to anything downtown. Our guests had a great time and from day 1 of planning to the big day, April and her team had my back every step of the way. They are creative, fun, hardworking group that really love what they do! Thank you for sharing in our big day and making unforgettable!
My husband and I had our wedding at MAS in April. We were on a limited time schedule, but April and her team were more than willing to work with us. She offered honest thoughts, ideas from previous weddings, and suggestions on the best room setup, decor, etc. We loved that we were able to choose the art pieces to be displayed on our day, and that the studio had so much character to begin with. Unfortunately, due to some rain we were not able to take the rooftop pictures that she allows, but we were thrilled with the idea. April and her team were very flexible and easy to work with!
Me and my wife got married last November and we were looking for someplace that had character, was classy, and a venue that neither of us had been to yet. Mulberry Art Studios was all that and more. From the minute we walked through the front door, April dropped what she was doing and gave us a tour right away of the facilities. Throughout the process of planning the details, April was very flexible and willing to let me and my fiancé arrange the Louis Gallery and the main room for the reception pretty much whatever way we wanted from the paintings on the walls to the lights around the posts to the table and chair layout. The overall price was very reasonable in comparing it to other options for venues we had looked at previously. April was able to add and drop various aspects of the building package as a whole to accommodate us in making our wedding the most unique and special day possible. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place to hold events from baby showers to wedding receptions. April can cater to your exact event needs and make it as unique and personalized as you want it.
April and everybody at Mulberry were amazing! They have beautiful spaces and a huge selection of linens, china, art, etc to fit pretty much any style you're going for. I couldn't believe how amazing everything looked on our wedding day, and I'm still getting tons of compliments over a year later!
We had our wedding at MAS last year and loved it! April was very kind and flexible and allows you to be creative and listens to what you want! We used the Mulberry room and loved the white brick walls! It was beautiful and did not need much decorating! We also used the Louise gallery for appetizers which was very nice! One thing I would improve is the staffing. We felt like there could have been more staff to help run things on the wedding day and set up, though it all worked out and we were very pleased with how smoothly our wedding went! We are grateful to MAS and felt they genuinely wanted to make our day special!
My wife and I got married at Mulberry a few months ago and I can't stress enough how much of a delight April was to work with. She demonstrated absolute flexibility throughout the entire process. No idea we presented got any kind of push back. Instead, April provided ideas on how we could accomplish what we wanted. I would 100% recommend Mulberry to anyone desiring a beautiful, stress free wedding or event!
Having our daughter's wedding at Mulberry Art Studios Labor Day Weekend was everything we dreamed of...magical, enchanting, romantic and unforgettable. Guests when leaving told us it was one of the best weddings they had been to.
April, her staff and the incredible diverse art collections, decorations, antiques and the insane number of table decor to choose from helped make this special day happen. April's event expertise and ability to details we didn't even think of was of a tremendous help or better put "was the icing on the cake". Thank you Mulberry Arts Studio from the bottom of our hearts!
April and her staff are amazing! April has a real passion and excitement for what she does. She worked with us to help create an amazing reception. Her staff were always just a phone call away if we had any questions. The venue is amazing and you get to pick the art that goes up!!!! I loved that we went with Mulberry, April and her staff will always hold a special place in our hearts!!!!
Our wedding in June 2018 at the Mulberry was the perfect day! April and her team are amazing. April was very hands on and helpful all the way through the wedding planning process. She was really excited about all of our ideas, super supportive and helped us bring it all together. The space is absolutely stunning and being able to customize the art on all the walls to fit our vibe and theme was invaluable. This venue is truly unique and beautiful and April was like the fairy godmother of our artsy rock n roll wedding.
We absolutely loved Mulberry from the time we went to search for venues up until after the reception. We looked at a couple places before settling on Mulberry, but April was amazing and you could tell from the first time she said hello she had a passion hosting events at Mulberry. Right before the big day we sat down and we told them our vision and they made it come true, no words can describe how beautiful the reception was! Her staff was wonderful to work with and it was honestly an amazing experience. They made our special day that much more special!!
My husband and I got married at the Mulberry Art Studio during Labor Day weekend. It was a wonderful experience. April and Lina were so accommodating and helpful. The space was was perfect for both our ceremony and reception. The guests had a great time too. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our special day.
If I could give them 10 stars I would! April and her staff are amazing! They really are as helpful as they appear at first meeting. Everything that was promised was delivered and then some. April went out of her way to make our wedding day a dream. My husband and I were particularly taken with a specific artist that April had in the collection. We requested all of the artist's pieces in the reception area. Unbeknownst to us, April contacted the artist and was able to secure several new pieces from the same artist to be displayed in the cocktail area and hall. It was a wonderful surprise and very indicative of how April goes above and beyond for her couples!
My husband and I got married at Mulberry Art Studios on May 5th of this year (Cinco de Mayo!!😆). We had both our ceremony and reception at this venue, and I cannot tell you how wonderful April and her entire crew were throughout the entire wedding planning process and especially the actual wedding day.
I fell in love with the space years before at my cousins wedding and knew I had to revisit Mulberry when I was looking for a venue for my wedding. After looking at 6 venues in total, I knew I had my heart set on Mulberry and we decided to go for it.
We knew we wanted our Cinco de Mayo wedding to have lots of pops of color and sparkle, and April made that happen with her extensive selection of linens and decorations. I made multiple trips to Mulberry so I could show different family members the space and to also play around with decorations, linens, vases etc, and it was always super easy to schedule these meetings with April and her crew. They were always willing to accommodate my needs.
If I would do it over again, I would choose Mulberry Art Studios again and would 100% recommend them for your wedding or any other event you would have!
April was very helpful in connecting us with vendors who were right for us. We got to choose our own caterer, DJ, florist, and bartender. Any fees were clearly listed and were not unreasonable. We choose Mulberry Art Studio because of its flexibility, but also because there are multiple rooms full of pictures, candles, vases, table cloths, tables, and couches available to every bride for her to express her own creativity. We look back at our wedding with much joy and with out regret. April helped creativity and organization meet. Her assistants were all also very helpful and generous.
Mulberry Art Studios is like no other!!! This is hands down Lancaster’s most unique Wedding Venue that has a historic charm! April, who owns the facility is a doll! She is very compassionate, attentive to details, and really cares about what you want out of your special day! James, who is part of the staff, was very helpful too. All in all, I highly recommend this venue!!
My wedding was this past Saturday at mulberry. Everything went smoothly and i couldnt have asked for better people to work with. Everything was easy and my bride was beautiful.
I really cannot say enough about how above and beyond April and team went to make our day special. There were so many unique details that they were able to work into our special day that put our NYE wedding over the top. Every planning session the staff were so attentive, and they made a point to get to know us and our family. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful, and one of a kind. They're reasonably priced... April literally talked me out of spending more money on certain things because she didn't want me to look back and think I didn't need them. (If you're planning a wedding you know that's unheard of) Bottom line... they care about you in a way that goes beyond customer service.
I loved everything about our wedding, and that wouldn't have been possible without the staff at Mulberry.
Beautiful venue! April and her staff were very helpful with advising and helping us choose the perfect setting for my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner on 11/17/2017. Everything was just perfect, I can’t thank April enough for a memorable evening !
The Mulberry Art study was a wonderful venue for our special day. We had both the small ceremony and then the reception in the space. It was a beautiful venue and the art was just lovely. We enjoyed working with the staff. Their knowledge and desire to help was amazing. I would highly recommend the Mulberry Art Studio for your special day!
We had wedding and reception April and her staff went above and beyond in making the venue so very beautiful and elegant for our big day. They handled every single detail to our liking and my new husband and I could not have been happier. The staff at Mulberry played a huge part in making our wedding that much more memorable and we can't thank them enough for all their hard work. They're the best!! Thank you, April and her staff!
We just had our daughters wedding here. It was perfect! The room was beautiful and April was so helpful every step of the way. We wanted an urban/edgy vibe combined with elegance and our space in Mulberry Art Studio certainly delivered. They also rented all the tables, flatware, glasses, dishes and more. April’s collection of linens is simply incredible. It was so easy and convenient!
We recently held a Vintner's Dinner at Mulberry Art Studios. I knew as soon as I walked in the door, that the space would be perfect for both the cocktail reception and the dinner. While it was not a wedding, April exhibited an attention to detail that could only make any event a success.
We had an absolutely amazing wedding here at Mulberry and could not have asked for more.
We booked a venue for our April wedding back in September, I sent them an email in February asking about table sizes and received an automated email back saying they had closed. Enter panic mode. We found Mulberry just a few blocks away within a few days and we were fully booked, paid and out of our panic mode within a week.
April was wonderful to work with, particularly when we admitted that we had very few opinions as far as decor, she made an absolutely beautiful wedding out of our very few suggestions which is really something we were happy about! April also gave us a list of forger nearby venues to help us choose a dj, florist, etc
One of the employees, Lena, who I spoke with often, was absolutely wonderful as far as taking my many panicked phone calls, letting me in for measurements and choosing options, and giving me an idea of where to go and what to do.
We ended up having a family member do our flower arrangements for us, they were able to come in the day before to work on the flowers until nearly midnight, and to come back in the morning to finish up everything.
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with an owner willing to help you through every step from seating charts to flower placements, this is the place for you. We had an absolutely amazing, unforgettable wedding and we highly recommend this venue to all of our friends and family.
I enjoyed everyone we worked with at the Venue. It ended up looking better than I ever imagined it could, and ran very smoothly.
I used to live in the Lancaster County region. Back then, I knew Mulberry Art Studios (MAS) as an art gallery and dance studio for Imani African Dance Company. Little did I know back then that they were also a premier wedding venue.
My fiance and I got to meet with April Koppenhaver, the founder and director of MAS, and her one of her assistants, James, back in late January of 2017. April took her time to show us the entire space (including the fully functional elevator that is originally part of the building) and provide us with the rich history of the building. We instantly fell in love with the space and wanted to make MAS our wedding venue as soon as possible. We decided to get married on the first Saturday of October, so we knew we had to act quickly!
April is incredibly insightful, detail-oriented, kind, and full of energy! From day one, she compiled notes about our likes/dislikes, choices in colors and inspiration/theme. She helped us prepare a wedding that reflected our cultures coming together and blending harmoniously. She showed us her list of recommended local vendors in the area – this was very helpful as we used a few from her list. April has collected a wide variety of paintings over the years and makes them available for couples to use for their weddings. This was a wonderful way for us to personalize the space! They also have a massive collection of items for centerpieces and wedding decor. This saved us time and gave us the opportunity to play around with different ideas.
Our wedding day was INCREDIBLE! April's team worked well with our vendors in order to make our timeline flow seamlessly. My guests had a wonderful time celebrating and dancing the night away.
April and her staff were integral to the success of our wedding day. It was a pleasure to work with them. I highly recommend Mulberry Art Studios for couples looking to create a fun and unique ceremony.
Thanks to April and her staff, our wedding day was perfect! Everyone I came into contact with was so kind and helpful. The planning process was thorough and stress-free. If you're looking for a beautiful and unique downtown venue, I highly recommend Mulberry Art Studios.
Mulberry Art Studios was a unique and beautiful venue for our family's wedding.
When my wife and I first met April at Mulberry Arts Studio for the very first time we knew we had stumbled on the right place and had found something unique. Her knowledge, experience and consistent efforts towards making our wedding day special from the start was greatly appreciated. Everything April had to offer allowed us to stay connected to the magic of our day, make it our own and create an environment that was uniquely inviting to all of our family, friends and loved ones. The personal connection and commitment we experienced with April and everyone at Mulberry Arts Studio was something we didn't find else where.
My wife and I used Mulberry for our wedding recently. We knew within five minutes of meeting April that it was the right venue for us. April and her team took care of all the small worries that come up for a wedding with smiles and grace. I cannot stress enough how easy they made the wedding planning process and how responsive they were to communication. All of our guests had a blast and loved the studio. Mulberry also has a multitude of supplies that April and her team will let you use to make your day extra special - seriously, she has everything!
Thanks again Mulberry team! You made our wedding one for the ages!
This venue has so much character that I have never seen with any other venues! The space is beautiful and the art work provided is fantastic. To top it off, April, the founder of Mulberry is magnificent and really knows how to make an a event there worth your while!
Highly recommend Mulberry Art Studio. From the start, April was responsive, friendly and very helpful. We left many of the minor decisions up to her and were never disappointed in her choices. The venue was perfect for our needs and reasonably priced.
April was a pleasure to work with. She coordinated many details and made suggestions to help make decisions.
April and her staff put together an amazing wedding. I wanted a lot of "nontraditional" components but April understood and executed the decor and ambiance beautifully. She and her staff were always available to answer my questions and put my mind at ease. Another great part of Mulberry is that April has closets full of decorations and glassware for use in centerpieces (and it's free!). Friends and family could not stop commenting on how amazing the venue looked - I highly recommend Mulberry.
We had a great experience working with April and staff from start to finish! We had a wonderful time at our wedding and guests are still telling us how beautiful everything was. We couldn't have asked for a more amazing wedding! Thanks to all who made it possible!! Such a great and very memorable experience. Would certainly recommend!
We had a relatively non-traditional wedding in mind, and it was great that April was totally on board with that from the beginning. She was very good about listening to what we wanted, but was also full of great suggestions and ideas that we hadn't thought of. Things like that showed just how experienced and professional she was. James was always very nice, and went out of his way to provide things for us on more than one occasion.
Regarding the wedding itself, we got exactly what we were looking for. The venue looked great, and everything was set up as planned. Our biggest goals for the wedding were for it to essentially just be a big party, and for everything about it to be as stress-free as possible. The needs of our friends and family members were considered and taken care of without us having to worry about them (elderly relatives, one couple with a newborn, etc.). April and James played a large role in making all of that happen!
From the beginning to the end, they were nice, professional, considerate, and just genuinely kind. I can't say enough how perfect and smooth everything was. I would absolutely recommend Mulberry Art Studios for any type of big event!
Great experience
My husband and I got married in November 2016 at Mulberry Art Studios. We were thrilled with the venue and how everything turned out. April spent hours sitting down with us to plan ahead to make sure every detail was exactly how we wanted it. We had the wedding and the reception in the same room and her staff did a great job transforming the room for our reception. Would definitely recommend Mulberry as a venue!
We had a wonderful experience at Mulberry Art Studios! The venue is beautiful and unique. April helped us to have the wedding we really wanted. She listened to our thoughts and ideas, offered suggestions to help refine them, and really pulled it all together for us. We would absolutely recommend Mulberry Art Studios.
