Very cool wedding venue! We attended a wedding here, the service was in the garden out back & reception/party was held upstairs.

We can’t say enough good things about this venue. The staff were so helpful and kind throughout the entire wedding planning process. The communication was a breeze and they are reasonably priced for such a beautiful venue. The venue also provides vendor recommendations to make the planning process even easier. Thank you so much to Lisa and the 1902 team and the Just Marry team!As a side note, there is one vendor in particular that we strongly encourage you do not hire. Lavender and Lace Wedding Florist. For all the stress and unprofessionalism, as well as value of what you get, there are better vendors out there!You cannot go wrong with booking 1902 as your venue, and hope we were able to help the next couple with our honest review 😊.

Historic Venue 1902 is an absolutely stunning venue!! As a couple who wanted an outdoor ceremony in the spring, our biggest struggle was finding a venue with a good rain back-up and planning timeline. While we didn't end up needing it, this was the one venue with a great backup plan and the ability to make a weather call close-in!While this is a more expensive venue, the connections and experience were worth it to us. The access to the planning team and their knowledge of local vendors was extremely helpful! They also hosted multiple vendor fairs during our planning window, and these were incredibly helpful to us, as we got to see and test experiences first-hand!The only note I have, is that there are a lot of unexpected costs that arose throughout the planning, that we expected to be included (specifically decor setup and the front school sign customization). For the base price and labor required, I would've expected these to be included, but we were too far down the path to change plans, and didn't want to miss out on these key details that we envisioned. These costs wouldn't have changed our decision to book, would've just helped with expectations along the planning journey.

I had my heart set on Historic Venue 1902 since 2020 still in my first year of dating my now husband. I did tour a few other venues which were lovely in their own ways but after touring Venue 1902 I did not care to check out any other. I live closer to MCO but Sanford, FL is my favorite greater Orlando staple mainly to catch shows at Theater West End. One of the biggest draws for me were the positive comments people had about the staff of Venue 1902. I’m very detail-oriented and described as high strung when it comes to expectations/execution. It was imperative to me I work with vendors who excelled in professionalism, patience, and hospitality- the ladies of Venue 1902 delivered! I’ve always seen the building from the outside but upon touring the inside I knew it was the perfect fit for us. We both value historic buildings/architecture, wanted a space that would be exclusively ours for the day, and something that held unique charm. This venue was everything and more- especially The Library!Every visit I had with them was a delight. They walked me through all the options and made suggestions where they saw fit. Their communication was always prompt. I worked mainly with Lisa and Adriana and both women were so pleasant and personable. Wedding planning is stressful enough and it is a huge weight off your shoulders when the venue’s staff really have it together. So grateful to everyone at Venue 1902 helping make our wedding day so dreamy!

We found Venue 1902 through an event post on Facebook, and it was only the second venue we toured in person — we booked it within 24 hours. They had a great incentive at the time, and we immediately fell in love with the space.From the first tour, the team was amazing. Adriana showed us around and was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. Aleshia assisted with finalizing our booking and was just as wonderful. We met with Adriana in person two more times before the wedding and also communicated frequently via email — responses were always prompt and thorough, which made the planning process feel organized.Venue 1902 provides a curated list of recommended vendors (with catering to be selected from their approved options--plus with BYO alcohol option too) and hosts vendor events throughout the year (plus twice a year exclusively for couples who have already secured a date). These were a valuable part of planning — we found our phenomenal vendors: caterer, hair/makeup artist, photographer, and photobooth company through these.The team was transparent about what their day-of coordination service includes versus what would require an additional decor placement fee, which we appreciated. They also offer a wide range of decorations, with a price list provided after booking. We were open about our budget throughout the entire process, and we never felt judged or pressured to spend more. A month before the wedding, they set up an online planning tool that helps organize the guest list/seating chart/general layouts and allows you to access/edit at home after, making it easy to visualize the wedding day setup.Small tip: If you plan to have hair and makeup services at the venue, coordinate with your artists early to determine what time you’ll need venue access. You might be surprised at how long it takes to complete hair and makeup!Between our booking and our wedding, Venue 1902 implemented a day-of coordination partnership with the company Just Marry!. Initially, this change made me (bride) a bit nervous, but those concerns were put to rest. While our full experience with Just Marry! deserves its own separate review, I cannot say enough positive things about Emylie, who was absolutely incredible and played a huge role in ensuring our wedding day ran smoothly.Venue 1902 truly has thought of everything. It’s an all-in-one venue with spacious bride and groom getting-ready suites (filled with natural lighting), lots of clean bathrooms, and beautiful outdoor ceremony (with the option to move indoors due to weather at no extra cost)/indoor+outdoor cocktail hour/indoor reception spaces. With so many unique spots for photos, the venue looks beautiful no matter the angle—and equally striking in color or black and white. There is ample parking plus valet service and elevator access to the reception area on wedding day (available for guests who NEED it). They even lock the bridal suite during the wedding to ensure personal belongings are secure. Brunch provided during wedding day was delicious and substantial. Thoughtful touches like mailing a letter and tote bag for the bride months before the wedding as well as giving us a bottle of champagne during the wedding rehearsal made us feel cared for.A little heads up for future brides planning to wear a long veil—mine got caught on the flooring of the outdoor ceremony aisle, which was totally fine; I just wasn’t ready meheheheh!Overall, Venue 1902 is absolutely stunning, professionally run, and exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful, seamless, and well-thought-out wedding venue.(All wedding photos by Ashley Krug Photography ♡)
