This venue is gorgeous with character. There are separate rooms where you can hold different events. Crystal made everything easy to work with and kept in touch whenever I needed her. She is a great person to have help you and the venue served its purpose and more for my event. Thank you guys so much!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Apothecary, and it was great! The space is a beautiful, historic building with exposed brick and uplights as well as plenty of chairs, tables, a buffet room, and dancing space; it has a vintage, city vibe, which I loved. The owners were super easy to work and communicate with. Crystal gave us a tour, walked us through the contract, clearly communicated expectations, and was available to answer the many questions I had during the planning process. One of the main reasons we chose The Apothecary was because of their relaxed catering policy. You have the freedom to choose any caterer or even cater the wedding yourself (including drinks), unlike many wedding reception venues in Lincoln. We chose to cater the wedding ourselves. Even though it was a lot of work, it was a huge blessing as we saved so much money in the long run. The only thing downside to having our reception at The Apothecary was that we could not start set up until 9 am, which made the timeline for the day feel right and rushed. We wished we could have started an hour or couple hours earlier. Additionally, since the venue is downtown, guests may have trouble finding parking if the event is on the weekend or going on during another big event. Overall though, I recommend using this venue for their affordable prices, beautiful space, flexible catering options, and super nice, communicative owners.
