FAQs

Question

What is Salvage One?

Answer

We love our venue and love talking about it! Salvage One is an "architectural treasures and vintage gems" store in Chicago. The first floor is their show room, arranged almost IKEA style, but way way cooler. During cocktail hour, we encourage you to walk around the first floor and explore all the gizmos, gadgets, and absolutely beautiful vintage furniture. The second floor is their event space, where they use their own vintage tables and chairs to set up the dining area. This venue is funky, eclectic, and unique; it felt perfect to us. We love filling our home with vintage furniture, facebook marketplace finds, and lots of color.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We encourage you to give yourself extra time to travel to the venue since it will be Friday Rush hour traffic! Ceremony starts in the courtyard at 5:30 PM, please arrive before 5:15 PM. The venue will be open for regular business before our ceremony, so if you end up there a bit early, you can wander and explore the show room.
