Salvage One Architectural Artifacts Reviews

My associate and I had such a lovely time shooting Susan's & Jordan's wedding here this past Feb. This venue is such a unique spot to have a wedding ceremony & reception! Highly recommend this place to engaged couples. ~ Winterlyn Photography

Great party venue! Nice outdoor space to match the eclectic indoor areas. Can accommodate small to very large numbers.

fantastic place, 100% accomodating, great venue with multiple floors.
when we had our wedding there for our son, it felt like we owned the place. can do anything you want in any room or floor.
great place, and very unique. also, they are acomodating on bringing in alcohol and they work with you to get you back the unopened bottles to Binney's (highly recommended for alcohol).

Just went here last night for an event - what a cool space! A great venue for a classy party, wedding or anything that requires a different sort of ambiance. There are so many things to look at, prepare for sensory overload - in the best way possible!

One of a kind finds here. A hidden gem in an industrial area.

I went to a wedding. The place was spectacular. The food was bad, Brazilian grill was cold and the meat was dryl

Attended an event here and was blown away by the use of space and the pieces that were on display and for sale. I would love to visit again soon

Salvage One is an absolute gem of a venue! With incredible light and vintage furniture and other items available for your use everywhere, this 3 story warehouse is unique as can be and a playground for photographers (and your event!)! Not only is the antique store aspect neat, the exposed brick makes for a beautiful backdrop with just the right amount of character and the high ceilings make the space feel like a wonderland to be explored. Plus, the staff is kind and easy to work with. Dream come true. We can't wait to photograph here again!

One of the coolest places in Chicago. Had the pleasure of attending a wedding here and was very impressed.

Amazing salvage furniture. Completely with checking out for unique ideas and pieces.

There are way better places with similar idea at way better prices. This is $$$$ overkill.

I love going to Salvage One. You really never know what you're going to find. Often, I end up leaving with something that I hadn't planned on.

Went for a wedding. Beautiful and fun things to look at

Bought a fabulous antique tall cabinet for my kitchen for an old Victorian brownstone I m redoing!

We visited for a potential wedding venue... to say the least, it certainly is right for the right individual. For my wife and I, it couldn t have been more opposite of who we are. Seemed directly, too eclectic, and chaotic. I guess if you re into that, it s right for you... just not us.

crazy awesome facility, wedding and reception in the same place. fantastic night!

Disappointed antique collection and overly priced. Don't waste your time.

Beautiful space full of antiques for sale. Also a great event space!

Went here for a wedding and it was sick.... Wish I could of had mine here!

I have been here for a few events, and have enjoyed the antique theme of the place. Such a open area that does not make it a hassle to walk through. Can not wait to go back there tonight

Spectacular wedding venue and an awesome place to find a unique piece of furniture or artwork.

This place has it all bath tubs ,old hardware, doors, door knobs and midget's swigging from the rafters

This place is rad! Even if you don t have a reason to purchase anything, it s still worth a visit.

Was there for a company party, the place has a lot of charm!

Attended a Fever concert with Chicago Soul Spectacular in the Salvage One courtyard. Beautiful well planned venue and excellent tight musicians performing Miles Davis Quintet music. Social distancing was built into this outdoor space.

You can find some well priced gems and other eclectic goods. Check it out when you need some new chairs, a table or a marble Corinthian column

Awesome place to find unique items for your home. Pretty good looking event space as well.

This is a hidden treasure, but if you have a chance to check out their events, GO! I had the best time there at the Gin event, multi floor, with shows that you can not find else where, experience the wizard world with tasty Gin, I can only tell you so awesome.

The venue and music were amazing. Can't wait to go back.

Came for a a best friends wedding and man oh man was this place full of fun. Had such a blast here, awesome decor and great food. Definitely an experience I won t forget

I was at Salvage One recently for a private event, and not for shopping, but the space is incredible! Rooms and rooms of random salvaged items for your home. The way everything is displayed is very cool and gives off an oddities vibe.

If you are looking for a space to hold an event, I would highly recommend Salvage One. It's large and unique!

Incredible, whether you are looking for quirky antiques, fab furniture, or want to throw an amazing event/wedding/party there, Salvage One is your place.

Here for a buddy's wedding. Venue was great and we enjoyed it. However, for a summer wedding, they really should have increased the AC - it was HOT on the first floor!

Beautiful venue, professional people can't wait to get married there.

Absolutely loved everything in this place. So much to look at

Not what it used to be. Great selections have been picked over. Looks like this place is on its last legs. Very sad.

Love it. if you are in to antiques or vintage this is the place. ......nice venew for a wedding I hope I can have my 25 aniversary there.

Buy yr antiques or throw a party/Wedding. Friendly people

I came here for Yelp's Chiberia Sendoff and a Hendrick's Gin event. Salvage One is an amazing space that offers alot of customization options for events. I've seen the 2nd floor transformed with a maze of sights - like a hot air balloon and a mysterious creature in a crate...who ultimately fed you drinks - and laid out simply with a party, some tables and a stage for performances. The 1st floor maintains the fun, rustic vibe of the gallery itself - complete with antique furniture and fixtures - and has a nice little courtyard during the spring and summer that opens up the space even more. If you're an event / party planner, you should definitely check this space out. If you're just a party goer, say "yes" to the invite at Salvage One. You won't regret it.

Really cool spot for our holiday party. Loved the decor.

Attended a wedding and reception here. Nice place, good staff, overall, a great place

Went to FEVER's candlelight open air classical music event. Space was intimate and unique. Will visit again!

This is a three story antique store that also doubles as a wedding venue. If you are looking to buy a dining room table, this is definitely the place to go. They also sell assorted furniture. It s a neat store to visit!

Very large space filled with very large furniture, light fixtures, and big ideas too. Also found lots of door hardware and bathroom fixtures. Cool place!

Love this place. I do a lot of salvage and antique buying (used to work in the business) and this is a frequent stop for me.

This venue is great! I recently choose this venue for an event with 300+ people. The quirky wall displays and items placed everywhere really make for a neat atmosphere. All of our guests were totally into it and we recieved numerous complements! The staff was also great to work with. We worked with Brandy and she was so helpful every step of the way.

My husband's job had a holiday party hosted here and the space was large and unique.

It's a weird venue. It's interesting, but the first floor is an antique store which is odd for an event venue. The second floor is much better for an event. The bars were nice, but a bit slow. The staff isn't the best at handling loud guests, they ended up adding to the situation rather than helping anything. Overall it was an interesting experience...

Different place all you need to host an event with a really casual, antique, open ambience. Antique store which works as a hall for events.

Incredible venue! Makes for a great event, great memories and great photos! Maison catering is amazing. They know the venue inside and out, decorate it beautifully, and clean up better than it was when they started. Memorable, wonderful place to have a wedding!!

Beautiful place to host events or just to browse around. Takes you thru the past.

Venue is great. its kinda a hipster scene if your into that. Wonderful food and great great feel can lend your event a hip edge. And its clean not dirty!

Expansive and impressive, there are three floors of architectural salvage, furniture and oddities. The interesting twist about Salvage One is that it also serves as a wedding and event venue. It's a very unique take on vintage / salvage. I enjoyed browsing every nook and cranny.

Great staff and selection-- excellent spot for unique items or project materials.

Great place to have and excellent, lovely and vintage event

This place was such a creative, thoughtful venue for a wedding. SO many interesting things to look at!

Very cool place. If you're looking for used retro furniture, or renovating your place to look retro, this is a great place to find that one thing you couldn't find anywhere else.

AMAZING location. this is a must see. I would kill to have a party/wedding here. Very cool pieces to look through. VERY cool!!

This place was so great, and for the cause it was worth every moment, beautiful setting

I was invited to a wedding. Yes it s quirky and different, but I thought the venue was terrible for acoustics and the service was lacking. We were seated with a group of eight far from the bands setup and the only way we could all converse was to scream at one another.

Found exactly we wanted. Very nice people and wonderful items to choose from. I really want to throw a party here too.

I've been here for a number of events and it's freaking awesome. I'm looking forward to the day where I can host an event here as well. The decor is unique and there are very places around the city that you can look at different looks and feel in the city.

Attended a wedding. A place full of interesting antiques. Nice gathering place

Attended a wedding here and do not recommend. Cons: We were the last table served. My vegetarian meal of mushroom ravioli was cold. My spouse and another guest at the table had cornish hen, which were "hot" but raw (ie: there was BLOOD throughout half of it). Unfortunately, my spouse ate it anyway and had diarrhea all the next day. It was about 20 degrees outside and nearly freezing inside Salvage One too. After huddling together for warmth on pews for the ceremony downstairs, guests had to wait around for about 30 minutes to go upstairs for the reception. The upstairs was EVEN COLDER!
One gentleman had on a dress shirt and tie, long sleeve sweater, and his winter scarf wrapped around his shoulders. Ladies were less discreet and donned their winter coats. After dinner, I wandered over to the thermostat (about 10 feet from our table), it read 66 degrees and the temperature setting was on 55 degrees!! Insane! Additionally, there is only street parking which is hard to come by. Finally, there was no clear signage or illuminated entrance for the front door and we walked into an office business by mistake. Pros: The staff member at the main desk was helpful and the salads were tasty. I would NOT recommend having your event here and if you do, dress really warm and don't eat!

Attended a wedding there. Great place to hold an event

Really interesting finds at this place. It's also a really cool venue for a wedding or corporate event

Great stock and selection of gorgeous vintage, reclaim and antiques. I always look forward to attending special events in the space.

Very fun antique shop- large selection of furniture and one of a kind pieces. Great wedding venue (they were setting up for one while we were there!) also, my friend proposed to his girlfriend here, and the staff were very kind, friendly, warm and accommodating to help my friends dream come true! Thanks to them, we had a great place despite rain changing our plans!!!

Went to an event. Hard to figure out where to go and what's what. Like the front door or bathroom. If you make at least 6 figures you might be able to buy some furniture or antiques here

Beautiful antique store. Went there for a wedding, surprisingly enough.

Salvage one always has unique items. It's really fun to explore the various floors and find items with a lot of character to add to your space.

Amazing venue for weddings with antiques everywhere. The whole place has beautiful wooden floors and grand window panes. The third floor holds an entire shop of antiques from foosball tables to block letters to baseball seats. The wedding we had there was comfortable with space, seating, bathrooms, temperature, and wifi. 10/10 would give it a look for your wedding and overall shopping endeavors

This place was awesome to experience. We came for a wedding but had to explore the store. Salvage heaven! Vintage wonderful!
