We recently hosted our son’s wedding reception at Artifacts 302, and it was truly exceptional. From start to finish, the team was professional, calm, and incredibly supportive—anticipating our needs and handling everything with confidence and care.

With guests traveling from all over the country, we wanted the evening to feel meaningful for everyone—and it absolutely did. The venue is beautiful and full of character, and it holds special significance for our son and his new wife. Having access to the piano made the night feel even more personal.

There were lots of details to come together, but Artifacts 302 made it feel effortless. We are beyond grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend this space and team to anyone looking to host a special event.

I hosted an event at Artifacts 302 and everything was perfect. I was apprehensive about doing it after 5 and not being able to go early to set up but Tara and her staff did a fantastic job. If you are looking for a venue in Farmington, I don’t think you will find something better indoors.
