Great location and a great and beautiful venue! I also love how my husband and I had so much freedom to bring in whatever beverages and catering service we wanted. We both received so many compliments from guests of how much they loved this venue! (Posted July 24, 2018 on www.weddingwire.com)
Looking for a great venue where you can control your wedding details? The Apothecary Lofts & Ridnour Room is for you.
We held our wedding ceremony in the North Loft and reception downstairs in the Ridnour Room. We catered in our own food and beverage and decorated the way we wanted. Even the color of the accent lighting … you are in control.
Crystal and Jon were awesome to work with! They walk you through each detail of the historic venue, and give you tips as to what’s been done in past weddings and what you could do with yours. You tell them how you want to set up the chairs/tables, and they do it!
It was the perfect, centralized set-up we were looking for to accommodate our guests, especially those from out-of-town. Hotels, restaurants, bars … everything is in walking distance! (Posted March 14, 2017 at www.facebook.com/ApothecaryLoftsAndRidnourRoom/reviews)
Excellent venue- beautiful room. The guests loved it! (Posted July 17, 2014 on www.weddingwire.com)
I knew I wanted to have my reception here from the beginning. The character of this place is amazing and the suites that come with the weekend package are beautiful. We did the weekend package for the bigger (North) loft/suite, and rented the smaller (South) loft just for the reception Saturday night. With the weekend package we got the keys for the building and the suite Friday afternoon and had access to it all the way until Sunday afternoon. The kitchens are really nice and since we were able to be in and out of there all weekend, we had the rehearsal dinner there Friday night, and we were able to keep food and snacks in the kitchen so we didn’t have to make a ton of food runs. My now husband and I stayed there Friday and Saturday night, and my bridesmaids and I were able to do our hair and make-up done in there Saturday before the ceremony. The suites also have HUGE jacuzzi tubs and the only thing i was worried about with those was if the hot water would last long enough to actually fill the tub…it did! Some things to keep in mind if you rent the Apothecary: There isn’t a dance floor in the lofts so you have to rent one (I used AAA Rentals-they have different sizes and do set-up/tear down for u). They also don’t do in-house catering or bartending which I liked because I was free to choose my own caterer and bartender. Crystal was amazing to work with-very fast in responding to my questions and very willing to show me the space many many times 🙂 You’re free to set up the tables however you like. You just talk to Crystal about where you want everything, and they do the set-up for you. You also have to rent your own linens and table settings. I got my linens through AAA Rentals as well so they got delivered with the dance floor, and I got my table settings through Hy-Vee. The only little thing I didn’t like was the chairs which seemed a little out-dated, but with everything else being as beautiful as it was, I didn’t even notice when everyone was in there. All in all, loved it and would definitely recommend it! (Posted November 2010 on www.theknot.com)
