We are absolutely blown away with how our wedding went at Journeyman! Every part of it was incredible! The venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and everything went on without any issue. Our guests had an amazing time and we received so many compliments on our venue and food! Jess, Lindsey, and Austin were so helpful throughout the planning process and day of. We did ceremony and reception in Warren Hall and it was perfect. Beautiful lighting for pictures, amazing cocktails, and fabulous ambiance. We cannot say enough good things about this venue!

Unique, beautiful venue with a hard-working team
I knew I wanted to get married at Journeyman 9 months into my relationship with my now husband so when he proposed, we immediately called and secured our date 16 months out. During this time there were some staffing changes in the event department, but that never stopped them (Lindsey and Dan in particular) from making sure that all my questions were answered in a timely manner. When Torie eventually joined the team, she was a seamless transition from my point of view and was really on top of everything we needed. I truly think I exchanged hundreds of e-mails with this team, given that we live in Chicago and didn't get a lot of facetime with them. Torie ended up accommodating my request for an in-person walk through on a Sunday where she spent two hours with me and my crew going through every little logistical detail we could throw at her.

The rehearsal and day of the wedding went so so perfectly. When we couldn't rehearse in our room because of a wedding in there, they accommodated us in another space. There was another wedding going on that night at the venue and you would have never known it, as they managed to keep everything completely organized and separate. From bringing us water and coffee in the morning in the bridal suite, to helping us get into the still area for pictures, to accommodating MULTIPLE different food allergies/requests for some of our guests, Torie and Dan and the team knocked it out of the park. My normally very reserved husband even hugged Dan at the end of the night because he was so grateful for everything they did. Our guests were wowed by the venue and the food and drinks were all delicious. We loved our experience at Journeyman and look forward to going back for many visits in the future!

Journeyman made our special day perfect!
Journeyman Distillery at first sight is a beautiful venue! They have exposed brick, wooden accents, twinkling lights and beautiful views of their stills. We did not need much decor to showcase the natural beauty of this place. Not only is it a picture perfect view, the staff is amazing there! They are helpful in every way possible and so inviting as well. We even stayed in town for a week after the wedding and we loved the place so much that we would go in everyday just to have a drink. We would get to know a different employee everyday because they were so welcoming. We definitely recommend Journeyman Distillery for your wedding event. We were so happy in our decision of having them be apart of our special day! Can't wait to go back for our 1 year anniversary!
