We got married at Historic Venue 1902 in October, and I can easily say that choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made! The ceremony and reception spaces are beautiful, there's SO much space and unique character throughout the building, and most of all--- the team was incredible. From helping with the planning and coordination, to making sure that my husband and I always had drinks/water/snacks at the ready, we were blown away by the Historic Venue 1902 team. A huge shoutout to Adriana and Aleshia for their constant support and expertise throughout our whole engagement and on our wedding day. Reviewed on 15-11-2023

The Historic Venue 1902 is such a beautiful location for a wedding! Everything on our wedding day went smoothly, thanks to the amazing Wedding Coordinators and Venue Staff. The venue was great with communication leading up to the event and helped us make sure everything was in order. Special shout-out to our day-of Coordinator Faith! She was so sweet and made sure everything ran well throughout the day. Initially, we almost excluded this venue during our search as they are a bit pricey, but we are glad we went with them in the end. (Pro Tip: This venue is located in the middle of a beautiful neighborhood. My bridesmaids and I rented one of the houses on the block and had a giant sleepover the night before the wedding. On the big day we just walked over to the venue, it was a perfect setup!) Reviewed on 29-12-2023

Venue 1902 was everything I could have wished for and more for my wedding! The vintage charm added exactly what I wanted. The brick was a beautiful backdrop to our photos. The library, classroom, and cigar lounge all added such a unique touch to the wedding that we heard nothing but raves about from our friends and family. Reviewed on 29-12-2023

We recently had our wedding at Venue 1902 and it was incredible! The whole planning process was so smooth due to all of the resources available. We did not have a wedding planner so having built in open houses, events, day of coordinators and online resources made a huge difference. We were able to try out a lot of vendors and meet with them before hiring and our vendors were already very comfortable with the venue. The venue itself is gorgeous and really does not need excessive decor to make it magical. We opted for the indoor ceremony and the staff was able to flip the room in less than an hour which was super impressive! We did a first look at our reception space together and it was one of our favorite parts of the day!!! Our guests were very comfortable and had plenty of space, bathrooms, and accommodations. Our bridal party had a lot of fun in both the bridal and grooms suite as well. The guys especially enjoyed the library that had plenty of activities for them the morning of. Overall, if you are thinking of getting married in Orlando this is the venue!!! Reviewed on 05-11-2023

We fell in love with this venue the second we walked in. This was the first venue I saw online but the third venue we went to visit. The space is an open concept that allows anyone to decorate it how they want their wedding day to look like. We felt super welcomed when we first toured the place. Everyone was so caring and always there to help with anything we might have needed. On the actual wedding day, they took care of everything that needed to be done. They refused to let anyone give a helping hand and still managed to make everything how we imagined. If you’re looking for a venue that will let you be creative and people who understand your vision, look no further! Reviewed on 27-04-2023
Dylan DeBerardine(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-03-2023 Beautiful venue!

Alex Durand(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2022 I may be biased but Venue 1902 and their team is the best venue in Orlando! They held our hand throughout the entire process! It started with their very personalized tour of the property. We had toured a few venues before and my fiance was not impressed by the standard conference rooms that many other venues had for the grooms room but he was immediately impressed by the grooms room and library that venue 1902 offered! We absolutely fell in love with the ceremony area outside and loved that in Florida's crazy weather, the indoor ceremony was a beautiful alternative if needed! The reception area was large and absolutely perfect for our wedding. Also for video/photos and hair/makeup, many of our vendors kept saying how amazing the bridal suite was for lighting which is evident in our photos! Also the TEAM!!! They made my day as stress free as a wedding day could possibly be! They went absolutely above and beyond and were integral in making our wedding day as absolutely smooth and seamless as possible! Words cannot describe how AMAZING this venue is. They gave us so many resources and advice throughout the planning process and had so many open houses that we were able to plan the wedding down to every detail. I cannot speak highly enough of this venue and their team. If you want as stress free of a wedding as it gets, at a beautiful location, pick this venue, you will not be disappointed.

The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL with so much natural light, big get-ready rooms, unique personality, stunning chandeliers, and lots of options to personalize the day to your needs. We ended up having our wedding a day later than planned because of Hurricane Ian, and the staff worked MIRACLES to give us the wedding of our DREAMS. Because the weather that day was unbelievable, we ended up having our ceremony outside in the gorgeous garden area and it was perfect. The team was flexible and made that happen on the fly! There are also lots of outdoor spots that make for incredible photo ops. Our reception upstairs was light and airy and perfect for our group. We had a fun hexagon arch and cute pieces of furniture that made the space feel even more fun. And, they ring the school bell when you say \"I do!\" Everything about this venue is unique, charming, and delightful. From start to finish the team took care of everything we needed and went above and beyond in making us feel special.

Megan Cox(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2021 We got married at Venue 1902 last year and it was a dream come true. I always wanted a fairytale wedding and my husband was always looking for something unique, so it was a match made in heaven. The venue made it super easy with all inclusive pricing and a portal to make payments online. They have so many extra things you can add too. I was in love with the outdoor ceremony doors for my grand entrance and my husband loved the guys room so they could play poker and relax. This venue also had the most gorgeous bridal getting ready room of any venue we toured. Your photographer doesn't even have to be that good to capture amazing photos here, because it's just so naturally stunning of a backdrop. So many of my guests raved about how beautiful the venue was. The staff also helped answer all my questions in a timely manner and were so helpful the day of. The only issue we had on our wedding day was a few seats out of order from my chart, there were a few open wine bottles with no lid packed into the MOH's car, and a lot of the chargers were packed away without being wiped down so food was caked on there. I'm not sure if it was the venue, my coordinator, or the catering team that did it, so not taking any stars. All in all, a really great experience. Reviewed on 25-09-2022

Ana Miller(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-03-2022 My husband and I decided to make venue 1902 the place to have our wedding the day we first visited it. After meeting the friendly people who work there, seeing how beautiful of a place it is inside and out, and all of the perks you get by booking there, it was an easy choice. When you book your wedding at Venue 1902, you don't just get a venue. You essentially get wedding planners with it that ensure your day goes exactly the way you want it to. They also are able to give you great advice and recommendations to help you with planning.The day before our wedding at the rehearsal brunch, Rachel helped guide us through what our ceremony would be like. It was a smooth process for our wedding party to run through it a couple times, and she was awesome at making some last second tweaks to our plans to make sure we were set for smooth sailing the next day.The Venue offers a list of preferred vendors which we found to be very helpful. When you attend their open house, you can meet with all the vendors and get a feel of what you'd like.The day of our wedding, Taylor really ran the show on having everything ready to go. She had also helped arrange our seating chart/table arrangements prior to the wedding. Her, Rachel, and their fellow staff helped set up the decorations we had brought in and made the upstairs reception area exactly how we wanted. With their help, we honestly had such a smooth wedding which is hard to do on one's wedding day.My husband and I both agree that out of all our choices with vendors, wedding planning, etc. the best decision we made was booking with Venue 1902. They make what is such a stressful and difficult thing to plan so much easier! Everyone who works here are truly so great and helpful. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with them.

Brogan Haynes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-02-2022 THE PERFECT VENUE!!!!! This was the first venue we toured for our wedding and I knew immediately it would be the one we would choose. Besides being so aesthetically pleasing, they offered great packages and allowed you to really create your own vision for the day. The venue itself is so beyond beautiful and their accommodations added so much to the day. Their getting ready rooms are perfect, we did the add on \"man cave\" for the groomsmen and it was a huge hit. Their team was so wonderful to work with, from the first tour to the wedding day I knew I was in good hands and they made the day go by so flawlessly. During the planning process they provide a lot of great info, I highly recommend using their preferred vendor list... Most of my vendors were from the list and the ones that were not just were not up to par, so use their lists and suggestions, you will be thankful you did! Huge shout out to Adriana and Taylor for coordinating in the morning and getting everyone down the aisle - they were so amazing and took care of so much for me and my bridal party. They made it seem so effortless but I know they worked so hard to make sure my day was perfect. Rachel and Katie were also so great, making sure we had a great night partying and walking the building after the reception to make sure we had not left anything behind. I think the Venue 1902 team is what makes this venue extra special.A big reason I wanted this venue was because being a Florida native I know how the weather is very unpredictable and I did not want to rely on a venue that only had outdoor facilities or did not have a good rain backup. The inside of the venue is still so amazing that I would have been okay if there was bad weather.... good news is we had perfect weather (highly recommend February weather in FL) so we could enjoy the quaint and charming garden. Another great perk is location, Stanford was a perfect little town to host friends and family. So many restaurants and bars - We had our rehearsal brunch at Tennessee Truffle and the welcome party and after party at Tuffy's... a lot of great places to make the whole wedding weekend special. Plenty of hotel options about 10 minutes away, but my family was able to find some great airbnb's in the area, my bridal party was able to take over Park Place Inn & Cottages which was so adorable and my girls loved it!

Every detail, that I didn't think of they thought of for me. The day of coordinators were spectacular. They kept the whole day running on time and without missing a beat. As a bride the day can progress so quickly and stressfully, god knows the weeks leading up to my wedding were not easy especially because I planned my own wedding but I can say with such sincerity that on my wedding day I didn't have a worry, every time I thought I would someone was already on top of it. We had an absolute blast and we could not have been happier. The venue was one of the most affordable places to get married that we visited and definitely the most beautiful and classy. My husband also rented The Library that they have on site, with a pool table, poker table and flat screen and he said it was the best thing he could have done. He and his groomsmen had an amazing time, and were occupied all morning leading up to the wedding ceremony.

Lindsey Russell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2021 When we booked with Venue 1902 we knew we would have a great wedding and overall experience. From day 1 they were so kind, responsive, organized, and professional. We were so excited to have booked with them! But honestly we had no idea just how amazing this venue was. When our wedding finally came, starting from the rehearsal every little need was met, every step perfected, every question answered- Adrianna especially made this day and was amazing at dealing with us and our families! They made sure we were so prepared and comfortable. And there is no word to describe our actual wedding day besides perfect. All of the staff was so kind and checked in with us all morning while getting ready, handled all of our vendor drops offs and setting up, and just made me (the bride) feel so special. Having them there to organize the guests and lead the ceremony made everything so stress free. I knew they would make sure everything went as planned.I have gotten nothing but compliments on how beautiful our wedding was, how lovely the venue was, but specifically how seamless and organized everything felt and how it is one of the best weddings they have been to. All of this would have been impossible without the Venue 1902 staff. I could truly go on and on about how grateful I am for all they did and how happy we are that we chose this venue.

Sarah Dixon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-06-2021 My husband and I went through a lot with our venue hunting. From places that looked nothing like the pictures to some venues that just came off as stuck up and literally only sent automated messages - We were a little discouraged. All of that changed when we visited Venue 1902. We fell in love with the venue when we toured it, and everyone there was fantastic. We decided to book them and secure our date.Everybody was very nice and professional, and they handled my indecisiveness like a champ!The venue by itself is just gorgeous! The amenities and vintage market that they have, amazing. AND they provided Brunch!The bride room was perfect for my girls and myself - It is HUGE and we were able to knock out hair and make up with all of the vanities that they had there. And the lighting in there is pristine!!!My husband upgraded his grooms room to the Library - He loved it. The boys were able to play video games and pool - and the setting was perfect. His pictures turned out looking like he was modeling for GQ.The Garden - I'm pretty sure they have some magic out there. It rained the day of and somehow, in June, it was perfectly shaded and just beautiful. Everybody did a good job at keeping our guests cool and helped out where they could with our requests.The Reception Area - Wow. This was the breathtaking part. This room is beautiful. When we were venue hunting, we worked hard to find one that the reception area wasn't the typical one... (Ugly patterned carpet and a slick dance floor that everyone slips on) - Venue 1902 has BEAUTIFUL wooden floors all throughout, classy chandeliers, and a canvas that lets you just customize it to your own liking. Looking for Rustic? Perfect. Boho? Great! Romantic? Right here. Vintage? Look no further.

Through the whole wedding planning process they were so supportive. Like any bride I would freak out about something late at night and email them, they would respond so quickly!! Always knowing exactly what to say to help calm me down. The week of the wedding arrive and it was forecasted to rain on my special day. The team at Venue 1902 did not blink an eye, they contacted me and helped me make a rain plan. I loved that they had the option to moved the wedding inside only two hours before the ceremony!! Who does that? The rain did come and we had to move the wedding inside, I wasn't dissapointed though! Looking back on it now, I think it was even better inside.

The Venue is a gorgeous historic building with beautiful space both outside, and inside (upstairs and downstairs). The staff were incredibly welcoming and throughout the months leading up to the wedding, they were always quick to respond back to any questions or concerns we had. The Bride’s room and Groom’s room are perfect for the bridal parties to spend time together and get ready for the big day. There was plenty of space, as well as thoughtful amenities in both rooms for our bridal party and family. Logistically, it was fantastic to be able to get ready, do photos, and have both the ceremony and reception all at one location! The Day-Of coordinator did an incredible job with directing setup and decorations. Planning a wedding in the setting of a pandemic was undoubtedly stressful, however the staff provided excellent COVID-19 precautions (cleaning, providing hand sanitizer, holding doors open) and provided additional measures including extra seats/tables and increased space between, and providing masks to guests who did not bring their own.

The extras the venue offers for the wedding (chalk art, extra bridal suite time, sparkler exit, and SO MUCH MORE!!) were amazing and so helpful for us to tailor our experience. The final details meeting made me feel so calm because Taylor literally made me feel like nothing I asked was too big or complicated. Being an out of state bride was stressful but the team was so wonderful and flexible when it came to meeting or chatting. Our rehearsal the day before was so organized and seamless thanks to Taylor. The venue gave us a celebratory bottle of champagne and card the day of our rehearsal... so unexpected and kind! Now, the most important part: the wedding day. Leisl, Taylor, and all of the other ladies made things run SOOOO smoothly. They were constantly checking in and asking questions to make sure everything ran smoothly. They even let me run upstairs during cocktail hour so I could look at the table settings and florals. Taylor and the team were present until we left the venue on our wedding night. She even took the time to catch me on my way out to ensure we had the perfect night. I honestly couldn’t be more thankful for every single wonderful person at Venue 1902 for everything they did for us.

Liz Krall(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-11-2020 We fell in love with the beauty of Venue 1902 in early 2019 when planning for our wedding in February 2021. The venue and surrounding location were the perfect location for our special day. We liked downtown Sanford with its bars and restaurants, and is close to where we grew up and our friends/families. We loved that it was a vintage school house, with on-site getting ready facilities, plenty of space for a large wedding, and indoor/outdoor optionality. We knew it was the perfect venue and location to host our wedding weekend. From the beginning, the staff was flexible, helpful and supportive as most of our wedding planning was done remotely from San Francisco, CA. Then, the COVID pandemic happened, throwing our plans into uncertainty. Under these difficult and ever-changing circumstances, the venue staff completely met our high level of service expectation. They stepped up big to help create OUR perfect day. Coming from CA and SF, where COVID life is much different, they listened to our concerns and were supportive at every step. They never dismissed what I am sure at times felt like crazy ideas and overly conservative precautions. The open houses were extremely helpful in our long distance planning process as my mother was able to visit the venue to help us visualize our plan over FaceTime or with videos. Aleshia and the Venue 1902 staff welcomed her as if she were the bride! We also found the decor room on this virtual family open house to be useful. We were able to see the farm tables, some of the lounge decor, and table runners. They even set up a runner on the farm table to help us see what the color would look like. Venue 1902 was flexible in a variety of ways, which were crucial in executing a perfect day. First, they allowed us to move our date up allowing us to celebrate with our close family and friends over the Thanksgiving break, which meant we could see our families for one of the 2020 holidays. Next, in order to accommodate what we felt was most safe, they worked with us to have our entire wedding including ceremony and luncheon reception outdoors before sundown. This meant cocktail hour with a lounge and bar area on the front lawn. There were many ways in which the execution of our day was outside of the norm, but were handled with professionalism and attention to detail. Overall, we had the perfect 2020 wedding day for us. The Venue 1902 staff were incredible in helping us execute our vision including decor, safety protocols, and order of events. Their vendor recommendations were thoroughly vetted, even for less-common services like wedding streaming, and we were impressed with the quality of each of the vendors. There were several times that we went referenced their vendor list or called for a recommendation. Aleshia is an amazing human and will give her all to make sure she understands what you both as a couple want for your day and then do everything she can to make it happen. We cannot thank Aleshia, Taylor, Carly and the rest of the Venue 1902 staff enough. Beyond the beautiful building and backdrop, the people of Venue 1902 made our special day exceptionally memorable.

We just got married there on October 4, 2020 and it was the most perfect day, and I give them all of the credit. From the moment we walked in to tour, we were welcomed by smiling and vibrant faces. Alesha and the rest of the staff was so passionate about what they do and it really showed. On our wedding day, I had multiple day planners that were included with one standard and very reasonable price. The day planners waited on us hand and foot, from getting us a bucket of ice for champagne, to helping my mom with setting up the details. I mean they really stopped at nothing to make us extremely happy. They even caught, by looking at the bar menu that I had created, that the liquor store had forgotten one of the important items and had them run back and get it for me. I am sure they took care of many other minor things that I did not even know about. They really made my day so stress free and I truly felt like a princess on my wedding day. My entire family could not say enough nice things about how the venue treated them. I would've booked a wedding at a dump if it were ran by this staff, but that is NOT was this place is. This place is gorgeous from top to bottom and you can really make it exactly what you want it to be. Plus, booking with Ocean Hawks Rentals is included. This company is the most popular decor company in Central Florida. I was a bride on a budget and when I walked in on my wedding day it felt like I was at a million dollar wedding and I couldn't believe it was my wedding.

There is truly no place quite like this one-of-a-kind gem, both in its charm and in all that the incredibly kind team has to offer couples. Our wedding day there was wonderful, joyful and completely seamless for us, our family, our guests and all of our vendors. Just as importantly, our entire experience from our initial emails and visit through follow-up, post-wedding was so positive thanks to the outstanding team. All in all, Venue 1902 simply shines, and our special day wouldn’t have been possible had we not booked here! We knew within minutes of meeting Aleshia and starting our tour that there was something super special about this place. And it was much more than the stunning historic building that both my husband and I separately fell in love with while researching venues. It was more than the relief that every room was so thoughtfully composed (a full room with tons of space for the groomsmen to get ready!? Most other venues we visited put the guys in literal closets!), that this one location could easily and conveniently host every part of the day, AND that every area had so much character and charm about it that it gave us fantastic direction in decor. What really wowed us was our conversation with Aleshia. After visiting three other venues prior to Venue 1902, she was the first and only person we met with who asked us about OUR STORY, not just our guest count, budget, desired date, etc. We instantly felt so seen and known and cared for; Aleshia and the rest of the team were truly invested in our engagement, marriage and love story, and that reflected in everything that was done to help us plan for our wedding day.We truly had fun planning thanks to the Venue 1902 team. The monthly open houses were a blessing to be able to visit and scope out the spaces, get to know the whole team and introduce a few of our dear friends to the space, too. By the time of our final consultation a few weeks out from our wedding, it felt like we were going to see and catch up with friends of ours on the team!When it came to our wedding day, we were able to really enjoy every moment of it and not worry about deliveries or decor or timelines. Our day-of coordinator was Venue 1902’s Katie, who is so kind and a total rockstar! She worked brilliantly with a personal friend of ours, who focused on some of our DIY pieces and personal touches, while Katie and the Venue 1902 team had everything from catering to furniture rentals to DJ set-up and more covered. Katie and the rest of the Venue 1902 team were all cool as cucumbers and so encouraging to us the entire day. This allowed us to be so present in the day, and we’re so lucky to have the best memories of the most wonderful, lovely day. It was honestly so much better than I’d ever imagined it could be, and Venue 1902 was such an essential part of that.Venue 1902 is one of the most memorable parts of our wedding day for the gorgeous backdrop it provided to every part of the day, the comfort of having the whole day in one convenient place, the character of a historic, classic and charming school, the bright and beautiful canvas it was for all of our photos, and, of course, the fantastic team who created magic for us.

Shelby Baker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-02-2020 Venue 1902 was truly the perfect spot for our Best Day Ever! The Venue itself was gorgeous- our ceremony was outside in the garden, framed by beautiful trees. The building itself has wonderful historic character to it but still has all the modern amenities you would expect. The lighting made for gorgeous photos and having all the locations in one spot (getting ready area, ceremony and reception) was so convenient. Another thing about the location itself- Historic Sanford is such a hidden gem of Central Florida. Most of our wedding Guests were travelling from out of state, and by choosing this Venue, many of them were able to explore this charming area, many stayed at unique AirBnBs. They were so surprised at how fun and unique Sanford was!Above all the best thing about getting married at Venue 1902 was the incredible customer service. On wedding weekend, we truly felt so taken care of every step of the way. So many things were included in our package- it really helped to eliminate stress throughout the planning process!

Laura Ledford(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-02-2020 The second I pulled up to this venue for my first visit I knew it was perfect. Every staff member that I was in contact with was very helpful. They answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. The day of my wedding, we were running a few minutes behind, and we were still met with smiling faces and offers to help with anything. They constantly checked in on us, asking if they could get us anything or help to make anything better. Everything I was stressed about was gone the second I met the day of coordinators. Everyone there is so sweet. My wedding truly was the best day of my life. I highly recommend this venue because it is not only beautiful, but has the greatest staff.

Kristin Miller(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-02-2020 Our experience at Venue 1902 , for my daughter’s wedding was wonderful beyond words. From the very beginning, the planning process with Lisa, Kim and Alicia was such a pleasure. These ladies always made us feel important, and they were patient and helpful with our many questions and requests for vendors. Also, I highly recommend having their chalk-artist, Ashley make your signs; she did beautiful work, and made many signs for us that were unique and made our day so much more personal and special. She is also an absolute sweetie - thank you for being so much fun , Ashley!! Once our BIG DAY arrived, we were met by our day-of planners Savannah & Shannon. These girls worked so hard and anticipated my needs before I could even ask! Alicia, thank you for your special attention ( I am so grateful - for ALL of it). Then Katie took over as our evening Coordinator - that girl was like magic - she seemed to do the work of 12. She ensured our reception space was set up beautifully (despite a flower vendor snafoo). The evening just flowed, and I did not have to think about a anything- what an invaluable feeling! By the end of the evening, Katie and her crew had packed up all of our decorations, signs, extra booze, etc , so it was ready, and she and the valets loaded it into our cars as well. It was a fine-tuned process, and as I said, words do not seem sufficient, but thank you, thank you, thank you to all the ladies and gentlemen at Venue 1902 that made our day special for our daughter and husband.

Ericka Mierisch(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-11-2019 My husband David and I got married at Venue 1902 on November 14th, 2019. Our wedding was an absolute dream. It was everything and more one could ask for on their wedding day. The staff was extremely helpful and absolutely wonderful to work with. The Venue is a beautiful vintage schoolhouse that has been recreated into a stunning wedding venue. When my husband and I were looking for a venue for our wedding we both wanted a vintage venue that was hauntingly beautiful. Without a doubt, Venue 1902 fit that category and satisfied us in every way. We did the Mr. and Mrs. package for our wedding and it was worth everything we paid for it. We got married around 5:00 pm so we got to experience the Venue at night. I highly recommend a night wedding at Venue 1902. The Chandeliers made the room look gorgeous. We chose to do our ceremony outside and we did not regret that decision, it was stunning. We were afraid it was going to rain that day, however, the staff was all over the weather and checking the radar keeping us informed if we might need to switch the ceremony to inside. The best part about this venue is that you are the only one there. You don't share it with anyone, therefore, you have the opportunity to use the entire space which is what we chose to do! If you are looking for a venue with an amazing staff, stunning vintage appeal, and a gorgeous unique atmosphere. I without a doubt would recommend Venue 1902 for your big day. Our wedding day was truly a dream thanks to Venue 1902 and their amazing staff. <3 Thank you so much Venue 1902 for creating such a beautiful day for my husband and me to always cherish!!

My husband and I were not only in awe of the venue itself, but loved how amazing the staff is. The early stages of planning a wedding can be stressful and feel overwhelming, but the Venue 1902 staff made it easy. Aleshia gave us our first tour and was able to help us envision everything our wedding could be. (The all-in one space and included rain plan made this venue an obvious choice!) We booked most of our vendors using their suggested vendor list (and were more than impressed with the professionalism of every single one of them). Kim was prompt and kind in answering my endless questions as the wedding day approached, which is a breath of fresh air considering some venues won't get back to you at all! After our final walk-through with Ashley and Kim, we knew our wedding day would go off without a hitch, as they had answers for all of our final questions and suggestions about things we hadn't yet considered. Lisa has built an amazing space and surrounded herself with an incredible, dependable team.

Lisa and her team were a pleasure to work with throughout the whole wedding process and they were extremely professional, kind and accommodating. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the staff was extremely tentative. I think our only bone to pick would be that the day of coordinator Shannon was not prepared and had no idea what our timeline was so she missed a couple of beats and sometimes was no where to be found. I don’t know if it was a miscommunication between to her and the other team members or if she just came unprepared as a whole. Other than that being an issue all in all it was a wonderful day that we will remember forever. Thank you Venue 1902 Team! We definitely recommend using this venue. Reviewed on 30-04-2019
