April the owner is a nice person, however, she has an employee named James who is extremely rude, passive aggressive with everyone and from reading the reviews I understand why people are not booking this venue. She has got to stop allowing this person to interact with the public. Had the niece of my neighbor inquire and the constant interrupting from James turned her off. She decided on the Eden Resort and her wedding was a success. All in all, it's a great loft style building in downtown, close to the Marriott and other points of interest read more

Location: downtown Lancaster near many restaurants. We parked out front for free on the street. Atmosphere: outside the one room -artsy and in the room -sophisticated Room was easy to find the art & artist. I think there was another clothes venue in another room, but not sure. Art was reasonably priced and the artist showcased tonight was an extremely talented Acrylic artist. I bought a few small things. read more

If you're considering this for a venue space - just splurge and go somewhere else. This owner is one of the rudest, most miserable people I've ever met. The only person she was ruder to was her own employee, a younger woman. I genuinely hope this young woman is employed somewhere else because this owner is terrible! Rated 1/5 because I couldn't leave 0. read more

DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO DO THE VENUE'S JOB!!!! At first this venue seemed absolutely perfect! It's beautiful and April seemed so lovely and helpful.. It turned into a disaster. From the very start April assured me that she and her crew would set up the rooms for us and we didn't need to worry about anything but decorating, she assured me that changing the Mulberry room from the ceremony to reception area would be no problem and timely, and she maintained that most of all she wanted my vision of my dream wedding to come true. The day before the wedding when we had arrived to decorate the venue, April had not done anything to get it ready for us. She had not cleaned, not fixed lights that were burned out, no tables or chairs were brought out or set up, and the whole venue was stuffed with all of her junk--random decorations, paperwork, fake plants, supplies, etc. We had to clean out the entire space FOR her, when she had insisted the space would be ready for us upon arrival. It took us four hours (and by "us" I mean my amazing bridal party and family, a total of 14 people) to clear everything out. When I asked her why things were not ready for us, and if she could show us where to get linens and tables and chairs (again, this was her job to do, not ours) she responded extremely rudely and told me I was setting her behind schedule. The entire day she and her staff did next to nothing to help us set up--when it was their job to have cleared out the space for us. In fact, while we were all running around to get stuff done, April asked us if we could organize one of her storage rooms and water her plants. April told us they didn't set up for us because she knew I had people coming to help me (meaning she expected free labor and for us to do her job). It nearly ruined the whole venue, as we had other things to do that day and almost didn't even have time to finish decorating the space! April was very rude during the process and one of her staff, James, got in my face and yelled at me at one point, which made the whole day very difficult for me, the bride, who already had a lot on my mind. If we had not had 14 of our own people there to help us it would have never gotten done--and the large amount of people needed to clean up her stuff shows just how dirty, cluttered, and unprepared the venue was when we arrived. The day of the wedding was also a disaster. April had not finished hanging artwork in the ceremony room--and 15 minutes before the ceremony began she was still trying to hang artwork while guests were waiting to be seated, including older guests who needed to sit down. When the room needed to be changed over from the ceremony to the reception, April had originally assured us that she would be able to do so in the hour and a half we gave her during the cocktail hour. April took an extra hour and therefore dinner was set back an hour late (food was cold because the caterer had planned on the original time and schedule we had given them), the photographer had to leave before we finished everything we were supposed to, and there was barely time for dancing because the DJ left at the time originally scheduled for as well. The extra hour April took from us cost us dancing time, photos that we were looking forward to have taken, and guests who were unhappy with their meals. The caterer told us that this is always the case when they work with April. April also tried to blame her lateness on us, and again was very rude. read more

We just had our wedding at Mulberry Art Studios. I cannot possibly say enough great things about them. April and her team made us feel like family and as if our little wedding was the most important one they've ever done. Of course, with as many events as they do, it wasn't-- but it certainly felt that way. They worked with our budget, were amazingly flexible, kind, generous, and our guests couldn't get over what a cool place it was! MAS will always hold a very special place in our hearts and we are so happy with every aspect of the experience. read more

April and her staff are amazing! I can't say enough great things. Beautiful large space, with wonderful staff. I highly recommend this studio for any of your events. read more

We just had our daughters wedding here. It was perfect! The room was beautiful and April was so helpful every step of the way. We wanted an urban/edgy vibe combined with classic elegance and our space in Mulberry Art Studio certainly delivered. They also rented all the tables, flatware, glassware, dishes and more. April's collection of linens is simply incredible. It was so easy and convenient! read more

First i want to start by saying april is very sweet and kind she is very professional and knows how to run her business, she has everything you need to have a great party of any kind, i recommend booking with her. Now working with her when james is around is a nightmare he is the rudest and most unprofessional person I've ever delt with he should be let go immediately i will never book the art sudio ever again as long as that man works there i had a great time but he kept interrupting our reception telling us we hadn't paid for certain things when we clearly did and he was doing it in front of the guest which was very embarrassing and rude i had to control myself i wanted to say and do some bad things to that man please stay away from him and ask to speak to april alone. read more

I called the art studio to receive a price quote for an event I wanted to hold. The lady who answered the phone was an Artist and had very vivid ideas for the party I was looking for . When I inquired about the price she told me she would call me back, but later had another employee call me back asking for my email address to send me a price quote. I waited several days and received nothing, I then called back spoke to a man by the name of Lynn. Lynn said he would speak to the lady who originally helped me and then email me my price quote. I later got a price quote for almost $3,000 for 4.5 hours much more money than I expected for a place that was just holding the event , I was providing my own DJ, Catering, Decor, Food, and Alcohol they said the provided the cleanup which was a plus but I felt it was over priced and maybe there was a miscommunication with the set up so I called back and left a voice mail message. Nobody returned my call. I finally called from a different number and Lynn answered . when I asked him how they came up with the figures he went on to say that is the cheapest I was going to get. I let him know that I called other places that were less expensive but closed earlier due to zoning reasons. He sarcastically told me I wouldn't find nothing else but good luck and he hung up. Im giving Mulberry art studios 2 stars do to lack of communication and one very unpleasant staff member. although I never used this facility business does come from word of mouth your potential clientele should be treated kindly and with respect. and if there was any question in regards to cost he should of had no problem answering without sarcasm! read more

We still can't stop raving about Mulberry Art Studio. We started in May of 2015 looking for a place to hold a wedding shower for our daughter. Our future son in law (who by the way is from New York and now lives in Connecticut) gave us some locations he saw on line and Mulberry Art Studio was one of them. We decided to check it out and after meeting with April fell in love with MAS and all it had to offer. Right from the beginning she made us feel like family. We were very comfortable working with April and her staff. MSA supplied us with all of our needs - tablecloths, silver ware, dishes, etc. April was very flexible, kind and generous. Both she and her staff were at our finger tips to provide anything we needed. We received many complements from our friends and family during the shower and also emails from friends once we were home. Besides providing us with a beautiful set up, the art work we were allowed to pick from made the room look special. Thank you April and thanks to your staff for a very memorable experience. read more
