MULBERRY ART STUDIOS

nerous 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.

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.

prising 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!

.) 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.

. 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!

very 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.

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!

s 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!

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.

thank her and her staff. I will definitely be back . Love you guys!!!

ch 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!

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.

y showed. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an event to remember.

st 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.

nd Mulberry Art Studios for anyone looking for an amazing wedding experience.

o 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!

o 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 :).

ry. 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.

et 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!

up, 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!

oor, 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.

'm still getting tons of compliments over a year later!

orating! 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!
