Salvage One
Salvage One is one of the coolest places we have worked and it has an energy that is unmatched. The building itself is an antique shop on the first floor with a built-in ceremony area, and the second floor has dining tables that are all unique, antique pieces that give such an intimate, dinner-party vibe! This space is highly recommended if you’re looking to add personality to your day and want something with a unique twist.

Columbus Park Refectory
Columbus Park Refectory is a perfect venue for someone who wants personality in each part of the space. The dancing room has black and white mosaic tile that is sure to add some fun energy and get everyone on the dance floor. This space is great for photos - not only because of the brick walls and splashes of teal throughout, but also with the green-filled park right outside!
