Vintage - Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Had our wedding here. They are so super nice, helpful, gave great suggestions. Was more than happy to meet me there before hand for planning, decorating. Etc. Chad was there the whole time and took great care of my guests. Was more than accommodating to my caterer and DJ. After our wedding I had forgotten some stuff and Chad was more than happy to meet me back there close to midnight.

Decorations are provided but bring some of your own for personsl touches. Indoor and outdoor ceremony options in one place. I used the outdoor ceremony spot and utilized the indoor spot for a photo booth. The old truck took amazing pictures and guests were getting family pictures too. The brides room was spacious and beautiful.

Throughout the reception all I heard was how amazing the place looked, how nice Chad was at the bar and walked around and conversed with my guests. Guests were already planning their own events so they could have them there.

Chad (the owner) was very flexible and responsive and allowed us to come to the venue prior to the wedding day many times. He was a little rough around the edges at times but has been in the business for a very long time and ultimately made sure our day was perfect. The venue was clean and beautiful and my guests thought it was just the cutest place ever - very rustic! We were able to bring in our own food and arrange tables and chairs how we wanted to for the ceremony and reception. Would recommend.

Chad controlled the music that our dj was "allowed" to play at our wedding. We were quoted one price for kegs, then he tried to nearly double it. He mentioned extra expenses because he would have to hire an extra bartender, yet he sat on a stool and poured the beer himself. He let his kids run around the venue during our reception.

We had our wedding here 9/22/18. (Vintage 2)

I read the reviews prior to the wedding and we had a completely different experience than the people who weren’t happy. Is Chad particular and a stickler to the rules? Yes. This is good. He tries to keep his facility nice, and safe. If you want to raise hell and tear a place like a junky rental, go elsewhere. If you’re mature and respectful and like a nice quiet low key place to have an event? This would be a great place. We had about 150, and we did just fine. I wouldn’t have more than this in this building.

One critique might be the way the room is laid out. The head table can see about half the guests. I’m not sure the PA system goes to the other half of the room or not? They couldn’t hear us too well, so I walked back halfway with the microphone. If you have an outdoor wedding, you also have to bring in all the chairs since they don’t have enough chairs for the tables inside AND the event outside. It wasn’t a big deal. We assigned a few people and we got them all inside in quick order.

All and all it was great, and everyone enjoyed the ambience and the country setting!

My husband and I got married there on September 10th. It was everything we could have hoped for and more! All of my guests loved it and had such a wonderful experience. The only reason I did not give the full 5 stars is because I wish the rules and guidelines were stated a little more clearly. An example would be that we had the entire place set up the night before during the rehearsal and towards the end of the night the owner told us that the place would actually be locked during the ceremony so we had to completely rearrange. Overall, the place is amazing and so is the owner. I would say just make sure that you ask tons of questions and understand how and what to set up beforehand! I would DEFINITELY recommend Vintage Events.

Although I can't speak for the experience of the bride or the bridal party, the owner (Chad, I believe) was very rude to guests. When he was serving at the bar, he made multiple snippy comments to myself and others about how we needed to save our solo cups for refills on the keg beer. If our cup had gotten misplaced or thrown away during clean up, he rudely informed us that we needed to save our cups because he didn't have beer left, and we wouldn't be drinking anymore if the cups ran out. He also was very mean about alleviating a situation of some of the children who were apparently playing somewhere outside they weren't supposed to be. It's a very pretty location; however, following the treatment we received, I would never recommend this space to anyone or consider hosting an event there myself in the future. Guests deserve to be treated respectfully, and there were far better ways Chad could have handled things.

Don’t use this place!!! Whatever you do. They are trouble! Ask around...please! Before you book. Our daughter was going to use them for her Wedding venue in March. She wanted a vintage wedding and felt like this was the ideal place. My husband drove by the Vintage on the Monday prior to our daughter‘s wedding on Saturday as he was concerned about flooding... because of all the water we had at that time. There WAS water clear up the road all the way to the buildings. He notified our daughter, who then called the Vintage. She asked the owner about the flooding. She stated, she was concerned because of the fact her wedding was Saturday, he could not even remember who she was or that she was going to get married that Saturday at the Vintage, he forgot that she had her wedding that day. When confronted as to why he couldn’t remember that there was a Wedding scheduled for that Saturday, he said he was too busy worrying about his business than a wedding, He then proceeded to tell her he has a friend who owns a church and she could hold her wedding there if she would need. She asked him how he knew that that would be OK with that church if he hadn’t asked them yet? He got short with her and said because He just knows this guy will do it for him! they have an agreement. She asked if she could at least get her deposit back and he started yelling and screaming at her, which a number of people over heard... he told her she wouldn’t get a dime of her money back because it’s not his fault the place flooded! and she should’ve thought about stuff like that when she booked a wedding in March. He had no remorse he was not sympathetic. He didn’t seem to care at all. He also mentioned in the beginning of the conversation that there was no water “IN”the building, that the water was only up to the buildings, not sure what difference that made Later on towards the end of the conversation as he was still yelling and screaming he said he had to get off the phone because he was standing there in knee deep water and had to get back to work, you could hear the echoing/ hollow sound that he was definitely inside that building talking. My daughter has had to take legal action to try to get her money back or at least some of it. We have since heard about others issues with him and this place. We have saved all hs text messages and there were witnesses to her phone calls with him. We ended up having the most wonderful, beautiful and perfect Wedding Day! Her reception was scheduled Down Town Holiday Inn City Centre. My daughter gave them a call to inform them as to what happened, and her situation with the Vintage. They were amazing, they offered to let her have her wedding there in the starlight ballroom where her reception was, and they went over and above and did not charge any additional fees. It probably went better than it would have at the Vintage. Not saying it was his fault it flooded, however as a good, responsible businessman, one would think he would’ve tried to contact her or be a bit more professional. He claimed this Church was ok with her holding her Wedding there, yet my daughter, did try to call the church a few different times the next day, and got no answer. We were crunched for time. The Vintage should have had this church contact her, or made arrangements for a meeting. He did nothing!!!

The owner is rude, he refuses to tell you real prices, he has an inane rule that you have to play Sweet Caroline at your event no matter what. I was an officiant for a wedding here this summer and it's a very pretty place to get married. However, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless it came under new ownership.
