    Winter Wedding

    Tatyana was absolutely amazing to work with! My entire family loves her! The 1883 is a timeless venue that has been beautifully preserved by the current owners. From the bridal suit to walking down the aisle, I felt taken care of the entire time. This is worth it!

    Accommodating and Quaint Venue

    The 1883 Historic Venue was an excellent choice for our wedding rehearsal dinner. The communication with Tatyana, the venue's manager, was prompt, direct, and complete, making the booking process very easy even though I was planning the event from outside the U.S. The venue itself is beautiful, with dark wood accents that create a cozy atmosphere. Tatyana recommended a perfect caterer for the event, which was incredibly helpful. When I arrived a few minutes before the guests, everything was set up and ready to go. The event went off without a hitch, and I believe this was one of the first events the new owners hosted. With the capacity to accommodate up to 100 guests, the 1883 Historic Venue is an awesome venue for any special occasion.

    It is an old church turned into a catering place. It has room for 8 to 10 round tables comfortable Make sure the AC is working if you plan on renting it.
