We want to say thank you to the wedding industry and those who have supported us during this season of transition. We have received DOZENS of emails from people asking how they can help and if they can work out a way to move into our operations and ultimately buy us out or operate our business.
The concern for us, our family, our staff and clients has been a bright light in this hard season. Not everyone has been so gracious (it has been kind of terrible haha) but the problem solvers and people who care has been heart warming!
I want to be clear and save you time. We already tried that. We exhausted all measures to make this smooth for our couples. This was a very hard decision and we did the best we could and feel proud of that.
Our building has been for sale, we pay rent, we do not own the building. In the beginning we had the option to sell our business with a lease attached separately but the owners decided against that very recently which forced us to start thinking differently in September. They do not want to be landlords so we do not have the option to sell the business as it is here anymore.
With this recent change, we cannot take the risk of continuing to book clients knowing we may not have the option to stay with the new owners or the option to sell. Weddings here have notoriously booked 16-24 months out. It would not be fair to any of our weddings next year either knowing it could sell at any point. We also felt finding a new location was only going to upset our clients further, our space here at 1883 is unique and a story we believed in. We know it cannot be repeated.
At this time we are working with lawyers to find the best way to liquidate when we close and if you are interested in any of our tables, chairs, decor etc. we will post that info for an auction or sale when we get closer. At this time we can’t sell anything outright because we may have to file bankruptcy for legal protection. Please do not reach out individually about buying anything. We would appreciate you helping spread the word when the time comes to share the link for our auction/sale.
You all have only confirmed that what we created here was truly something amazing.
If you are interested in the real estate itself then we encourage you to look into buying it. It is for sale and would be your door into continuing the wedding industry here.
Thank you again for all the love and support to those who have reached out. It has been the very thing that carries us through this season to finish strong.
