Our event spaces

The Courtyard & Outdoor Ceremony Space

Enjoy the beauty of the outdoors in our lovely courtyard. With exposed brick and walls of ivy, cocktail hour – or your outdoor wedding – will be unforgettable. Our cultivated arch for small outdoor weddings makes “I do” green (and gorgeous).

Guest capacity

200-250 Standing

Indoor Cocktail Party & Ceremony Space

Walk down the aisle in vintage style. Wooden church pews, glittering chandeliers, and Greek columns frame the ceremony space, which is truly one-of-a-kind. The ceremony space also works well for meetings and presentations, set in theatre style. Add gorgeous vintage bars, endless pieces to entertain and interest guests, and you’ll easily have the event of the year!

Guest capacity

175 Seated

Up to 250 Standing

Reception Space

Celebrate the night away in our reception space. Wood floors, exposed brick, and a plethora of vintage furniture help deck your event out in style. Want to feature your entertainment properly? We have two stages for bands, DJs, and – dare we suggest – impromptu dance-offs.

Guest capacity

250 Seated

Suite

We offer a three-room suite adjacent to the second floor space which can be used for a bridal party, for a corporate or non-profit event registration/check in, as a “green room” or volunteer space, or a VIP area. Room 1 features a gigantic vintage Hollywood-style mirror, tasteful couches, and lovely wood panels for privacy. Room 2 offers a getaway with just the right touches for a little relaxation time before (or even during) your event. The two rooms adjoin a large common area.

    We had our wedding at Salvage One in July 2023 and were so pleased with the venue. We did both our ceremony and reception in the space and our guests could not stop talking about how cool the venue was. Salvage One made it easy for all of our vendors to get loaded in and work in the space. The events team was great and professional. We had a minor issue which they helped us resolve quickly and professionally. Highly recommend Salvage One!

  • Fantastic Space! Awesome Team!
