Very happy we chose Distillery 244!

We couldn't be more happier with choosing Distillery 244! We rented Friday night for Rehearsal dinner and Saturday night for the reception. Such a great location for our relatives who traveled in and stayed next door at the Marriott. Everyone had a great time and could walk back to their hotel. In addition, the staff was very accommodating and we loved working with all of them! Best decision we made choosing them!

The team and the venue itself is amazing. The venue has that classic Old Town Wichita feel with the red bricks. It is large and open, leaving a lot of room for many different floor plans. It's within walking distance of many hotels and things to do for your out of town guests. Emalie is great to work with. She is extremely friendly, responsive, and strives to please the customers. She stays in contact with your other vendors to ensure everyone is on the same page and everything is in order. I love that security is included, this was a huge plus for us since our wedding was during Riverfest. The open bar prices were competitive compared to other places we looked at. The bartenders were great as well. I have been telling everyone that our day was absolutely perfect because of our amazing vendors.

Our wedding guests cannot stop talking about our venue! We had a Friday night wedding here in April--with the bistro lighting, the brick, and all of the other tasteful touches, this venue could not be more beautiful. And Aleigh, the GM, is incredibly responsive! I am a Type-A bride and her speedy responses were greatly appreciated during my months of planning. We also had a wedding of 450 people and it did not feel overcrowded at all. We also rented the distillery side of the venue--also a MUST. It's such a unique feature and people who weren't dancing hung out over there. It's still is within the sight line of the dance floor, but not as loud.

Alcohol options were fabulous, we catered in barbecue and had cupcakes--244 made it all so simple.

Please go check this venue out. It's amazing.

We chose Distillery 244 as our wedding reception venue for the old town/industrial look! Although the venue was very new when we booked our wedding, they were always very professional, knowledgeable and so accommodating. They provide cool pieces to use such as wooden wine barrels, furniture, cocktail tables and bars that all match the "look". They were helpful while we were there decorating, and made sure everything was set up, and candles were being lit right before the guests arrived. We could not be more pleased, and the guests have been complimenting everything about it as well! All of our vendors seemed to have great relationships with the Distillery as well, which helped in them coordinating delivery & set up times!

We had just under 300 guests, and thought the space was very comfortable, even with a large dance floor area in the center!

The staff was very good in incorporating our personal things. I was alittle disappointed in lighting. We should have ask more questions. I was a little disappointed w what the staff of the Distillery was wearing during our reception. I thought it was not appropriate.
Guests did have fun and enjoyed the space in Old Town.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
