With exposed wood vaulted ceilings and elegant slate floors, Historic 1625 Tacoma Place offers couples the serene, rustic ambience of a secluded lodge.

After the ceremony, you and your partner can celebrate with loved ones in the Reception Room. This setting features a similar color palette and rustic accents, in addition to ample space for dining and dancing. Eye-catching photo opportunities throughout the venue include French doors from the 1940s and the showroom ramp, among others. Before walking down the aisle, you and your partner can prepare and spend time with loved ones in the venue’s two get-ready suites. For the convenience of those celebrating, ample, complimentary parking is available onsite and the venue is wheelchair accessible. To streamline the planning process, Historic 1625 Tacoma Place has partnered with a number of reliable, stand-out vendors.

I feel like 5 stars aren’t enough to give for Lindsey and the Historic 1625 team! They were absolutely amazing! We couldn’t be happier using this venue for our wedding. Lindsey was real with us, and so incredibly helpful! Always quick to respond and was very detailed and pointed us in the right directions to get everything that we needed to make our day happen. I will recommend this to anyone and everyone to use Historic 1625. It’s absolutely stunning inside and out! Thank you for everything, Lindsey! You are the best!

Lindsey and the whole Historic 1625 team were a joy to work with. They were very responsive and organized. They also made sure our whole day went smoothly and we’re flexible with a couple of last minute changes we had to our schedule. I definitely recommend getting married here if it’s on your list. The inside of the venue is gorgeous and doesn’t feel cramped.

My Husband and I loved Historic 1625 Tacoma Place. The staff is very attentive and answered all of my questions. The price was very reasonable and make sure to book the car room for your happy hour. The space is big but didn't feel overwhelming, and fit my wedding guests of 145 just perfectly. The space was very easy to transform into my dream wedding (Winter Wedding). The staff was also very helpful and handled a security issue with grace and no on was the wiser. If you want a great wedding venue in the SeaTac area I can't recommend Historic 1625 enough!!

This venue is GORGEOUS! It needs minimal decor etc. because the venue truly does speak for itself. Everyone loved it! We only had 85 guests so we did dancing, bar etc. all in the reception room where dinner is, larger weddings can use the ceremony room for dancing and the bar that is separate from the dinner space. The staff were mostly great but once we brought our day of coordinator in it just seemed like their attitude changed. The day of the wedding they also would not allow our day of coordinator to wash our chargers in the kitchen etc. if you don’t have a wedding planner or day of coordinator the venue is great! If you do just keep in mind it seems like they don’t love collaboration with planners etc.

This venue was amazing! The wedding went off without a hitch.They have recommended food vendors, and Mama Stortini's was the vendor we chose. They were so organized and good, I never even talked to anyone with them, they just did their job. I loved having the whole place rented out. We included the Car Room for the cocktail hour. Having a climate controlled area for a wedding in July was very important to us. Plenty of onsite parking. We received so many compliments on the space and how pretty everything was. We didn't even have to \"over decorate\" as the building was a statement all by itself. I would definitely recommend this venue.

My Fiancé and I got engaged Fall of '21, and started looking a venues almost instantly. We were significantly underwhelmed with the majority of spots we looked at, and then we stumbled upon Historic 1625. What a treat it was to have our wedding here. We walked in (for our showing) completely unsure how the space would look, and it was amazing. Beautifully finished flooring with a gorgeous exposed ceiling. The Bridal Suite was great to get ready in (or so I have been told), and the suite for the guys was awesome. A bit far away from everything, but that was actually one of my favorite things about it. We elected to have the appetizer/cocktail hour in with the cars as well, and that was a great choice. We didn't get to spend as much time in there as we wanted (because we were signing the marriage paperwork following the ceremony) but it was a huge hit and had plenty of space for all of our guests. If you are looking for a venue that provides excellent amenities, service and prompt communication, call Historic as soon as you can. Best price and venue in the area IMO, it's not very often you get both of those at the same location. (Side note: Lindsey Ernst is incredible to work with at Historic 1625, should you get the chance)

This is a huge venue for a great price and there's different rooms for ceremony/ reception, dinner, and cocktail hour. We got a lot of compliments from our guests about how nice the flow was because of different spaces; no distractions for moving chairs etc. Also everyone LOVED the car room, it really made the wedding unique and fun. There's plenty of parking for guests and honestly it was just a dream wedding.

We can only speak highly of the Historic 1625. Having a venue that allowed for our ceremony to flow seamlessly into the reception was a top priority. The venue is designed perfectly for this and the staff are experts at execution. Not only is it ideal logistically, but aesthetically we found the brick and wood to be the perfect backdrop for the day. The groom and bridal party suites were incredibly convenient and well-furnished for party photos.Back to logistics, the ample free parking was a giant perk of the venue, as it can be a large concern for Tacoma and Seattle events.We did opt for the cocktail hour in the car room and the experience was well worth the money. It only added to the magic of the easy transitions allowing for the ceremony space to flip for the reception without us or our guests seeing it happen. Everyone loved seeing the cars, and we love the photos that came from it. We were the first to take advantage of the Historic's new in-house Coordinator Laura. We adore her and would definitely recommend this added service to ensure that all transitions occur without you or a family member needing to do the work.Not only is the venue top-tier, but their partnering vendors are as well. Key decoration pieces (arbor, wine barrels, backdrop) were conveniently available for purchase in-house, extra lighting and ceiling decorations were offered for a discounted rate from TLB Events, catering from the Historic's oldest partner Snuffins was the rave of every guest, and DJ Dave is an expert party MC - Dave and his photo booth really elevated the party!We really feel we got the bang for our buck! From our first walk through with Lindsey, to getting to meet the owner Kristen at an open house, and working with Laura in the final month, we really felt well-communicated with and cared for by everyone.We highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any other event that you want to go off without a hitch. We are so grateful to have had the best day of our lives at this special place.

Tacoma Historic 1625 is the most beautiful venue if you can afford it! Lindsey was extremely communicative, professional, kind, flexible, & easy to work with. She got back to us promptly with emails, phone calls, etc. I was disappointed that the decorations were a completely separate cost & a different vendor, but they too are easy to work with. Every guest we invited to the wedding was taken back by the beautiful job they do & the charm of Historic 1625’s venue. The changing rooms were comfortable & very large! I also liked how they had multiple bathrooms to access. The only reason why I gave a four out of five stars is because everything, it seemed, was a separate cost, as paying Historic 1625 was simply for the venue, date, & 10 hours whereas other venues offer different packages. Maybe that was my fault for not researching enough or asking more questions. Either way, I highly recommend Historic 1625 if you can afford it!! Historic 1625 provided my dream wedding!

Historic 1625 is a gorgeous canvas all on its own. There is minimal decoration required as the natural beauty of the site speaks for itself. Also note it has a Groom Suite which is rare in wedding venues. Lindsey was our point of contact here and worked with us tirelessly even when she said she would be away. Fair cost for what was offered. This was a full package including bridal suite, reception room, car package, and ceremony. There was a full kitchen in the back for the caterer to do their magic in. Laura was our other point of contact night of and had vast bartender experience to keep us at ease with our alcohol as we provided all of the supplies for it ourselves. The venue sent us our deposit back within a week of the wedding and we could not be happier with our decision to get married here. All of the photos turned out tip top, and we were blessed with outdoor weather permitting photos in the beautiful scapes surrounding the vene. Ample parking is also right n\rext door.

When my Husband and I first walked into Historic 1625 last year, we knew right away that this was the place we wanted to Celebrate our Wedding! We were planning our Wedding for November 2020 and Historic 1625 is a Beautiful Indoor Venue perfect for an Autumn day here in the PNW! From the spacious Ceremony and Reception rooms, warm brick walls, exposed wooden beam ceilings, and gorgeous slate flooring, we immediately pictured our perfect day in this space. The space also has two very nice Dressing Rooms with comfy couches to relax on and I loved that my Bridal Suite was complete with its very own private bathroom. Last year we were working with Kellie when we had to change our plans due to the pandemic. She and the team at Historic 1625 offered us a Complementary Date Change due to the unprecedented circumstances and we moved our Celebration to this year. We were Married last year in October in a very small, intimate Ceremony and we were so excited that we would still be able to Celebrate our Vow Renewal and first Anniversary at Historic 1625 this year. We worked with Lindsey to plan and coordinate our Event and the whole process was organized and efficient! On the day of the Event, the space was set up perfectly and the photos were stunning!

We chose Historic 1625 twice in our family: my sister’s wedding several years ago, and then for my daughters wedding this month. Both of which I organized and planned. The facilities are beautiful and equipped with everything we needed for the most beautiful weddings. My sister’s wedding was small and intimate and my daughters was much bigger. Historic 1625 adapted so well to the different types of weddings. Decor was merely a cherry on top of an already stunning venue. All the vendors that support Historic were a breeze to work with and able to work together seamlessly. I recommend the added lighting, it was lovely and so helpful to our photographer. And, a bonus, it was just small jaunt to some of Tacoma’s most beautiful backdrops that offered some uniquely gorgeous wedding pictures. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not for the faint of heart, but the staff was so helpful and flexible with our ever changing plans. Both events were weekday weddings but we always had support in solving problems and getting creative to pull it off. Lindsey was absolutely awesome! I would highly recommend Historic 1625 for the beauty of the venue, the abundance of support offered through their vendors and the graciousness of the staff, not to mention the affordability. As parents we always want our kids’ dreams to come true, the day after my daughters wedding she said to me, it was all she ever dreamed of and wanted for her wedding. We are so thankful.

I (the bride) dreamed of getting married in downtown Tacoma ever since I went to school there. The unique architecture, and history made my heart so happy. When I got engaged, I looked up wedding venues, and immediately knew Historic 1625 was the place I wanted to be married. Lindsey, and all the staff, was beyond helpful.

There were a lot of stressful circumstances around our wedding day and Kelli was there every step of the way for support and the make sure everything behind the scenes went smoothly. Historic needed very few decorations as the venue itself is just absolutely breathtaking. I look back at my pictures and am just in awe of how beautiful the exposed brick looks. The price is also incredibly reasonable for what you are getting and in comparison to other venues in the Puget Sound area. I would recommend Historic 1625 time and time again and an so grateful I was able to have my wedding there.

Historic 1625 is beyond beautiful and was more than we ever expected for our ceremony and reception venue. The building speaks for itself no matter the decor. What we loved most is that we didn't have to provide much decorations to create the atmosphere we were looking for. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at Historic. We highly recommend purchasing the Car Room for happy hour. Our guests loved it and it provided a nice transition from ceremony to reception. Not only is the venue itself amazing, but we loved working with Kellie and the other staff at Historic 1625. Kellie was beyond helpful with our entire planning process. She not only helped with floor planning for the event but also helped with all the details of the time line and was present for our rehearsal to help us figure out the flow of what would work best with our specific family and wedding party circumstances. Kellie also helped us find other vendors that resulted in a lot of savings; adding to the look of our wedding, that we would not have opted for due to price. The staff always responded to our calls and emails quickly and were beyond helpful in answering any kind of questions we had about details or planning. Another great aspect of Historic 1625 is that the tables and chairs are included in the price, with set up and take down, and the venue has the capacity to hold a large or small guest count and still be equally as beautiful and comfortable. Onsite parking for free was also a bonus for us, our guests, and our vendors. We highly recommend Historic 1625 for weddings and any other events!

We booked Historic 1625 as our wedding venue a year in advanced because we loved how BEAUTIFUL, yet affordable it was and we could not have been any happier! The process from beginning to end was so smooth. My husband and I worked with Kellie. Not only did she make this whole process fun (do not get me wrong, there were times when it was TOUGH because that's normal wedding stuff, right?), but she was extremely helpful and quick to respond whenever we needed her. Her relationships with the vendors we worked with clearly showed us how great and qualified she was at her job. She definitely went above and beyond to make our wedding what it was...and it was freaking amazing! The main things we were looking for in a venue were on-site parking, two separate bridal suites and room to accommodate a large party - Historic 1625 checked all of those requirements. For cocktail hour, we included the car garage package and that was a HIT with all of our guests. The classic cars were a nice touch as people were mingling in between the ceremony and reception. We fit 270+ people comfortably into one side for the reception, while allowing the other side to be open for the bar, dance floor and desserts. Thank goodness for so much space because we had a line of people for our ice cream cart, while having so much room for people to dance at the same time. If we could have another wedding there, we would! Maybe for a future anniversary. I highly recommend this venue!!!

The exposed brick, dramatic uplighting, and wooden beams set the tone for such a romantic ambiance. Aside from the fact that the venue was truly a stunning backdrop for such a special day, the convenience that it provided for our guests was incomparable. From the ample free parking, to no-corkage fee, to the 1am curfew! Kellie was such an amazing point of contact, always willing to go above and beyond to help in the planning process.

Historic 1625 has the space for absolutely anything you could want or need. With two spacious rooms for getting ready in, a ceremony room, the classic car area, and another gigantic room for a sit down dinner reception, transitions from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception/dance party went flawlessly. The exposed beams, brick walls, and slate flooring make for the most beautiful setting! We used the classic car room for our cocktail hour and our guests (and my husband) couldn't get enough of it! I was SO impressed by Kellie and her team. They were all incredibly responsive and insightful throughout the planning process. Kellie was always quick to address any questions I had and was so flexible with any changes/additions I wanted to make.

1625 Historic Place was the perfect place for my husband's and my wedding. We had been searching for a venue in the Kitsap, Pierce, and King County areas that could host 300 guests. Let me just say very few places can boast such numbers. When we viewed Historic the first time it was love at first site. The place had two large great rooms that could act as ceremony or reception (Lets be honest, we would all love to have a picturesque outdoor wedding but we live in Washington and if you think there is a single month that is free from rain you would be wrong). The outside does not cater to picture taking, but inside is beautiful. It is rustic, urban, and yet elegant and can be manipulated to whatever design your heart desires. The walls are old red brick, the ceilings are large exposed wood beams, and the floors are stone tiles. We ended up with about 230 guests and had 22 round 10 person tables placed in the typical reception room to the right with 2 long rectangle tables against the wall with windows for the head table. Even in my large dress I was able to maneuver between the tables to greet all of my guests. We used the classic car room downstairs for a cocktail hour which was a plus for both us and the guests. The room is super neat and during that hour transition we were able to do a few pictures, sign papers in the pretty and secluded brides room (with own personal bathroom, just saying, that dress...), and the people of historic completely flipped the ceremony room into a buffet line which following dinner turned into a very large dance floor. Historic has a great relationship with its recommended caterers and the events and transitions of the night went with ease. My husband greatly appreciated the groomsmen space. He liked being able to also get away before the ceremony started and the room I would say is even cooler than the brides space as it has large windows that overlook the old classic cars downstairs. Kellie was the primary point of reference and was very responsive in most situations. The night of the wedding she was off, but we had two other Historic representatives take her place and instantly came to great me and look for any instructions as soon as I came in through the doors. The venue as far as price goes was pretty fair considering all that we asked. It was an actual venue versus a hall so all transitions were completed by the staff versus having the ask family and friends for assistance. There is a difference in price for numbers greater than 200 to accommodate extra tables and chairs and the cocktail hour downstairs with the cars was extra. But compared to some of the other places that we looked at that could host 300 people this was a much better price point. All and all we truly enjoyed Historic and would recommend it to anyone who asks.

My husband and I got married at Historic 1625 Tacoma Place in September 2018. It was wonderful! The venue team took such great care of us. Kellie was there to answer any question we had, big or small, leading up to the big day to ensure it went smooth sailing and just as we pictured. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and in close proximity to everything we needed the day of: Costco, grocery stores, hotels, outdoor sites for pictures, etc. I sincerely appreciated having an indoor venue. The weather is one thing you cannot control and on our wedding day it was so nice knowing we did not have to worry about a heatwave or downpour. One thing that was bitter-sweet is that the venue requires you use their preferred caterers. This meant we could not use a family friend who volunteered to cook for our wedding which would have saved money but it also would have meant a lot more do-it-yourself tasks added to the wedding day. The caterer provided absolutely everything and we did not have to worry at all about buying, preparing, transporting, or cleaning up the food, drinks, plates, silverware, tablecloths, wine glasses, etc. The caterers had everything covered which was such a relief for our families on the big day. There are train tracks behind the venue which made for a stunning backdrop for photos after the ceremony. Thank you Historic 1625 Tacoma place for all of your support to pull together our special day!XoxoC&J

Historic 1625 is certainly a beautiful venue for our wedding. That said, there's 2 reasons why we wouldn't rent it again. Major: 4 cars of our guests were broken into (windows smashed) and contents stolen during our wedding ceremony while the cars were parked in Historic 1625's parking lot. This happened in broad daylight - around 6pm on a summer evening. Few things are more uncomfortable than having to announce that during the reception! It's a mar on our special day that remains with us today. According to the venue, we haven't been the only wedding to have this happen. Given that all 4 parties experienced financial loss, personal loss and inconvenience (not fun for those who had to drive 2 hours home on the freeway with no window!), we looked to partner with Historic 1625 in taking a step in making those guests whole. We asked Historic 1625 to refund us $500 so that we may pool this with $500 from our own pocket - for a total of $1000. This would have allowed us to provide $250 to each of the parties (one of which experienced over $1200 in losses). $500 would have been just 12% of the $4000+ we paid them, but they weren't willing to provide any refund. While our contract with Historic 1625 stated they were not responsible for security or theft, refunding us 12% would be - in our opinion - the right thing to do.Minor: We rented extra tables and chairs, for a cost of $158. While Historic 1625 already had $3800 from us, they wouldn't let us bring the check for the final $158 the day of the ceremony but rather required it in advance. That seemed unnecessarily rigid and petty. I mailed the check to them, but they don't get mail on Saturdays. So I had to break from our pre-wedding festivities to trek to the venue to settle our $158 outstanding balance. Paying over the phone with a credit card is subject to a steep 4% fee. I realize the processing fee would have only been $6 :) but it's the principle of the matter that bothered me.

Historic 1625 Tacoma Place was an absolute dream to work with. Not only was the venue beautiful and a great location for a wedding, but Kellie, the assistant manager was incredibly accommodating. The venue was great, not the cheapest and certainly not the most expensive, but nice, clean and a fun place to celebrate. What really made our experience top notch was Kellie. Kellie wasn't afraid to step in and help decorate, clean up or help coordinate a detail. These days, that sort thing is unheard of. Kellie, you're amazing and the main reason why we would, hands down, suggest Historic 1625. If you decide to have a wedding/event at Historic 1625, you are required to select one of their approved caterers. We ended up choosing Act 3 catering. Our experience with Act 3 was also top notch. Markel with Act 3 was incredibly accommodating and the food was by far, the best event food we have ever had. The 3rd party company that Historic 1625 contracts with for decorations, TLB events, was an absolute scam. I believe that some companies capitalize off of couples when they hear the word \"wedding\" and TLB events is certainly one of them. If you don't believe me, email the company and ask for their decoration pricing. Ridiculous! Although we opted to not to use the company and decorate ourselves, it wasn't any less beautiful. Thank you Historic 1625 for helping make our special day perfect!

We got engaged in December in the Tacoma area, as that is where we are from and where most of our friends and family live. However, my husband and I are living in Yakima and had to get back to Yakima shortly after the engagement. We felt it was important to find a venue that would work well with us being several hours away - phone meetings, emails, being flexible, etc. We can not be more pleased with how our wedding turned out! The staff at Historic 1625 were so easy to work with - they always answered emails and phone calls immediately and never seemed annoyed by my many, many questions.

We have to agree with what we had been hearing about for so many years- this venue is a GREAT place to be married. The staff was so accommodating, and for a neurotic, type-A bride like myself, their bottomless allowance of MANY casual visits to tour the venue and discuss details for months leading up to the event was such a relief. This building does not disappoint in wedding pictures, lends your reception a glamorous, but not stuffy, atmosphere, and keeps your guests impressed with a shiny classic car collection. We didn't intend to do a cocktail hour with the cars, but we are glad we did, as many guests commented about how classy of a wedding we hosted. My husband and I love live music, and chose to have a swing band for our reception. The room was perfect in accommodating a 7-piece band without puncturing ear drums, and the layout made it simple for our 220 guests to partake in dancing or sit and visit across the way. My husband and I had our dream wedding, and so much of that is due to Historic 1625.

I got married at the historic 1625 on august 6th 2017 and in my books, I give this venue 5. The venue was beyond beautiful with brick walls and wood ceilings. It complemented my all white wedding with white drapes, candles and ceiling lights. The staff was AMAZING they are the reason why I had a stress free day and stress free time leading up to the day. I got ready in their spacious warm beautiful bridal suit, I had my first look and my send off there and took such great pictures by the brick wall! The venue was so accommodating and affordable, they have great catering vendors and decorations. LOVE

This venue and its staff are incredible! We held both our wedding ceremony and reception at Historic 1625 and are still so happy that we did! They worked so well with all of our vendors to make our wedding day come together perfectly! Our guests still talk about how beautiful this space is, especially the classic car garage where we held our cocktail hour.

I have to be honest this wasn't my first choice has a reception area. I had to go back twice to view the venue before I did pick it and in the end was the best choice I could have made. Since this is WA you never know when it will rain. I wanted an outdoor venue for my wedding but didn't want to risk of getting rained on without a back up plan. This venue is great because it is like a blank canvas that you can create into your own masterpiece. My theme was Seattle Sounders and the brown and brick went so well with my theme. It reminded me of being in a bar. The team there at Historic 1626 were amazing any question I had they got back to me so quickly and efficiently. They kept me in the loop if anything changed or if I changed something they were like \"ok you got it\" I don't have to worry about anything on my day they handled it all. I would recommend them for a wedding or any time of get together! They do have big glass windows that you can see out of but nobody can see in which is nice. I recommend doing it on a weekend there isn't much traffic around that time. And good for photos of the building in the background. Thank you again!

From the moment my (now) husband and I stepped foot in this venue, we knew the staff would take care of us fabulously, and that they did throughout the whole process! Kellie and Crystal were the venue coordinators we worked with and both were so friendly and helpful. The venue is beautiful and spacious. We rented out the car show space downstairs for a post-ceremony cocktail hour, which the guests (we had just under 200) all raved about. We highly recommending doing the same. It allowed the guests to escape from the ceremony area while the caterers and venue staff flip the rooms (i.e. move the chairs from the ceremony area to the reception area). I can't thank the staff at Historic enough for helping to make our wedding day turn out exactly as we planned!

As the mother of the bride, and the person paying, I expected to receive the refund check for the deposit. The venue was beautiful, it was a bit to bright for an evening wedding. It would have been nice to have had the option to dim the lights a bit. The bridal room and grooms room were not beautiful , they were stark and the furniture was too masculine in the brides room, and pretty beat up in the grooms room. The car room need to have the garage doors opened, and the dumpsters moved out of view.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Historic this winter and it was absolutely beautiful. We had been searching for a space with exposed brick and beams, and were lucky to find the Historic - it was just what we had hoped for. There is so much character in the venue itself that we chose to do very little decorations - really only centerpieces on the tables, and we did not need to do anything else, letting the space speak for itself. For our photo booth we just used a space of brick wall as the background and it turned out fantastic. We had about 125-ish guests and kids, so there was plenty of space for people to move around without it feeling sparse. The staff was also very kind, professional, calm, and helpful through the planning process and during our wedding itself. Kellie was there during our wedding, and working behind the scenes everything ran smoothly, and my husband and I could enjoy our wedding and spend time with our guests without worrying about other details. We are so appreciative of the staff - you hear stories from others about how stressful the day can be, but our wedding was as low-stress as I think can be possible. They also know how to run an event inside and out, coordinate very well with caterers and other vendors, so we did not have to worry about that either. Hands down we'd recommend the Historic for anyone out there planning a wedding or other event!

My husband and I had both our ceremony and reception here. We were beyond thrilled with how the space just absorbed out 250 guests! Kellie at Historic went above and beyond her call of duty. We could not be more pleased with their service. She responded right away to our questions, was willing to walk us through the venue many times, and truly helped us make our day special. She felt like one of the crew by the end of the event. We'd do it all over again at Historic!

My husband and I had a really great experience with having our wedding reception at Historic 1625! We planned the wedding from a couple states away (we live in Utah), but the staff were friendly, easy to talk to, and they quickly responded to my emails. I only visited the venue once before my wedding, but the staff were organized and they communicated well with my caterer, so everything was planned well and turned out just how I envisizoned. Although we wish we could have had a little more flexibility but not having to choose a caterer from the preferred list, they had an ongoing relationship with our caterer and so knew how to work with them and communicate with them easily since they had worked with them before. This venue was also flexible and willing to work with me to help meet my special requests, which was really appreciated. The car show portion was a nice, special touch that kept our guests entertained as we took pictures, and the building itself is spacious, clean, and naturally beautiful. Few decorations were needed, which was helpful for me as an out-of-state bride. Thanks, Historic 1625, for meeting my needs and helping to make my wishes a reality. Thank you!

Choosing Historic 1625 was one of the best decisions my husband and I could have done. The pictures that have been posted on their websites is exactly how the venue looks-absouletly amazing! Historic 1625 was a perfect place for us--the brick building, wood beams, the tile floors gave it a modern luxury finish against the industrially cityscape outside.Kellie was a true gem to work with on our special day. She made asking questions simple and easy. Kellie always responded to emails right away and sincerely wanted to make our day special. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

We had our wedding and reception here on October 1st of this year. I had booked our reservation a few years in advance but kept in constant contact with the event staff. The event staff was amazing and very flexible. They were always willing to answer questions or help me with issues. They send reminders of what needs to be done in a timely manner, which is helpful when you are juggling all that goes into planning a wedding. The event staff was also very helpful for the rehearsal and the wedding, helping with the flow and directing vendors and guests in a friendly and professional way. We even received a thank you card for our business and compliments on our decor, ceremony and event. They have a very personal touch. They also helped solve issues the day of so I didn't have to worry about anything extra on the day. The venue itself is stunning, I barely used any decor because the place itself really shined. I had lots of compliments from guests about how comfortable, cozy and beautiful the space was. The space they have for the groomsmen was a perfect hide away hang out, and the bridal suite was perfect for just enough privacy but close enough to communicate with vendors and staff if need be. I also used this room for breastfeeding moms and they loved it. We had about 200 guests including children, and it was the perfect amount of space. I would recommend this venue to any bride and have told many people about it. I really think this venue is reasonable in price, has amazing staff, and is the perfect space to celebrate your special day.

Cannot even explain how amazing this place is. Staff, building, amenities. The staff are so nice, respond to all questions really quick and have no problem with you stopping in to make payments and of course have another look around. My guests just RAVED at how gorgeous this building was, the uniqueness and the cars were a HUGE success. It was also a major deal for me having a handicapped younger sister. She could move about freely and the bathrooms are accessible and they were so nice as to put her table close to the bridal suite so she could get away from the commotion if she needed. My pictures are perfect and I'm so glad this was the building for our perfect day!

Fabulous place for a wedding. Everyone was so helpful and the venue is beautiful. It's a plus that not a lot of decorating needs to be done because of the atmosphere. Both the bride & groom areas are very nice and comfortable to get ready in. We also took advantage of the car package for the cocktail hour which was a HUGE hit with our guests. Couldn't have been more happy with how everything turned out...it was the perfect venue for the perfect day!

Choosing Historic 1625 was the best decision we made for our big day. Wedding planning can be really intimidating, stressful and challenging at times, but Historic made the entire experience painless and very smooth. The venue was simple but so elegant and did not require a lot of decor and that was a big selling point for us.
