OMG! I love 1890 Event Space! As a Wedding Officiant I have seen so many Wedding Venues, but 1890 Event Space is one of my all time favorite outdoor venue spaces! As soon as you pull onto the property you just feel warm and cozy! There is a sense of magic in the air. I love the owner! I recommend them without hesitation.

We recently had 120 of our closest friends and family for our wedding at 1890. It was such an awesome experience working with them! The owner and manager were wonderful and took care of literally everything. Our entire wedding party was able to have our rehearsal dinner on property the night before. The bride and bridesmaids stayed in the house the night before the wedding and loved the experience. Thank you 1890 for giving this old but new couple a day in our lives we will always cherish!

~ Brent C. ~

Recently had our reception here and it was nothing short of perfect. The owner and their team did a fantastic job throughout the whole planning process and event date.
