Salvage One is truly one of the most unique wedding venues we have ever seen, and that’s exactly why we fell in love with it. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew it was special. We loved everything about the space, especially the flexibility and variety of options for both the ceremony and reception. Our guests are still talking about how cool and unforgettable the venue was. It also made for a dream backdrop for photos, and our pictures turned out so unique and perfectly reflected the vibe of the space. On top of all that, the staff was wonderful to work with and answered all of our questions and concerns quickly and thoughtfully. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to get married.
Salvage One is a Chicago treasure that feels less like a retail store and more like a curated journey through history. The huge selection of unique items is staggering, ranging from vintage neon signs to ornate architectural fragments. …

Salvage One is one of our favorite venues in Chicago—it’s a truly unique and intimate space for weddings.
There's all sorts of reasons why you might review this place. for decades I came here as I tirelessly renovated our 100-year old Chicago home. I could always find the particular hinge, or wood detail that had once been part of our home's …
Salvage one is the coolest venue in Chicago. The entire staff was so helpful and enjoyable to work with in planning our September 2024 wedding. They had helpful vendor and insurance recommendations and were able to suggest the right lay out for our 230 person wedding. We loved that the space felt different each time we visited - it’s so alive! We received so many compliments from guests and felt very cool knowing we introduced people to such a special spot. We loved being able to use things from the store in our day - tables, chairs, cornhole, foosball, a podium, lights, lettering, bars, etc. We also purchased a beautiful seed box from salvage one - there are not many wedding venues where you can bring home a souvenir! 10/10 - strongly recommend!
Salvage One was the most fabulous venue for our July 2024 wedding! When we toured this space, we immediately fell in love with the vintage eclectic vibe and loved that the downstairs, courtyard and upstairs were all included with the …
We had our wedding at Salvage One and it was AMAZING! I grew up going to Salvage One with my parents buying vintage door knobs, doors, and door knob plates, and never would've imagined I would be getting married there over 20 years later. The space is ample and amazing and offered a world of possibilities to make our wedding day so special. One thing that stood out the most to us was the ease of working with Colleen and the S1 team. Colleen was super communicative and worked with us from day 1 to hear our thoughts and make our vision come to life. They flexible with any floor plan change, new vendor addition, or any question, little or small, that we asked. We absolutely recommend Salvage One to any other couples looking for a wedding venue!
Salvage One is by FAR one of the coolest spots in Chicago. Being able to photograph weddings here is always a great experience. Even though it's an antique furniture store, it's set up perfectly for couples. There are endless indoor spots …
I knew Salvage One was going to be our wedding venue from the second we stepped inside! The entire space has so much character and is incredibly charming and breathtaking, without even needing an abundance of decor to spruce it up. We never even had to leave the premises to get photos because there are so many many different unique and beautiful spots both in, and outside, the venue! Every guest that we spoke with, both during the wedding and after, commented on how beautiful and unique the venue was and how they had never seen anything like it.
We were in contact with both Kelly and Colleen leading up to the day and both were very helpful in answering any questions we had—Kelly was especially great during the walkthrough at explaining everything and coordinating with our vendors and making sure they knew everything they needed to!
If you're looking for a beautiful, unique wedding venue, we would highly recommend Salvage One!
