Salvage One – Wedding Venue

Salvage One is a one-of-a-kind wedding venue for the unique couple. Tucked away among the loft spaces of Chicago’s industrial West Town neighborhood, this colorful venue doubles not only as a beautiful wedding space, but also as an antiques and vintage furniture store during the day! Salvage One could be described well in what they sell. Their selective showroom is edgy, chic, and rich in history. A great aspect of the space is their ability to accommodate many types of couples. You have the option to choose from Salvage One’s 60,000 square foot warehouse of vintage decor. Their merchandise is constantly evolving, packed with hidden treasures. Salvage One follows its neighborhood’s loft characteristic: many moving parts, diverse rooms and settings. One can choose the venue’s stunning courtyard for a rustic-yet distinctive ceremony space. You can find the outside adorned with charming lawn accessories, from clawfoot tubs to old architectural elements. Guests can then make their way inside to the 2nd floor for cocktail hour. Mounted with greek style columns and vintage bars, perfect for entertaining while the the reception area receives its finishing touches! Behind the pews you can also find a second ceremony location, decorated with elegant chandeliers and warm lighting. Finally you can dance the night away in their main receptions space. Wood floors, exposed brick, and TWO stages offers the most ideal spot to celebrate!

Something I love as a photographer about this venue is that Salvage One has an abundance of interesting elements and spaces that all of the days photos can be taken on site.  The benefit of the inventory consistently changing is that each wedding photographs uniquely. Finally, ending the night in the iconic CHICAGO iron and lights sign, a now Salvage One staple, is a must!
