Over the top perfect

From the very first email, Brittany and her team were absolutely wonderful! They let us come view the space as much as we needed and make layout changes as much as needed. Our other vendors were able to contact her easily as well as ourselves. The day of the event was FLAWLESS. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. My guest are still raving about the place!

Rehearsal Dinner

I hosted a rehearsal dinner in their small room. This room was perfect for what I needed. I was not from the area, so it was challenging to find what I wanted since I didn't really have time to make the drive and look around. Brittany Chavis was SO helpful in answering my questions. When I arrived, the room was set just how we had talked about. I loved our bartender; he was the right amount of fun for the event, and he did a very good job of serving my party! I would definitely recommend the Crystal Ridge Distillery as a venue!

The best day!


We had the most perfect wedding reception at Crystal Ridge Distillery. The venue looked so beautiful and the signature moonshine drinks were amazing! Brittany went above and beyond to make our day perfect! Crystal Ridge will always have a special place in our hearts- we visited here after our engagement in Hot Springs and now have been married here. We can’t wait to come back to visit!

More than Magical and could have EVER expected!!!!!

They were everything we didn't expect! Mrs. Brittany went above and beyond for this bride to be. She truly is an amazing coordinator! The fact that we got a discount for a weekday, they let us represent stipulated medication, they helped with the set up of tables and chairs and even helped with partial break down which we weren't expecting at all. We got to use decor lights from someone else's wedding free of charge and they just went above and beyond! The moonarita margaritas are to die for! They were so attentive during the entire reception and helped with everything from music to lighting! It was more magical than this bride ever could have expected! My vendors were able to work with ease due to their catering kitchen. My guests had easy access to the bathrooms. The drinks were not very expensive at the cash bar. I could go on and on. Beautiful place for photos!!!!! A brides dream and more.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
