Monica and her staff are amazing! We had the best wedding and our guests loved the bar! Bridal suite and groom suite were perfect for getting ready too. The venue is gorgeous and we were lucky it stopped raining just in time for our ceremony on the rooftop, which overlooked the river perfectly. The staff was working hard to wipe off chairs for our guests before the ceremony. The venue was perfect for our size around 110/120 guests.

Monica was great to work with throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

The MRDC Celebration Center is the BEST location for any type of event, especially a wedding! Because of how great this place is, and more importantly the fact that Monica is an incredible manager/coordinator, our wedding was perfect. The views overlooking the river are stunning, the interior decor fits any setting, and the staff are extremely kind and accommodating. Monica stayed in contact with us every step of the way to ensure our day was everything we wanted it to be. On the day of our wedding, she made herself available to us while we setup and decorated, answered every question we asked with a smile, and was never bothered by us requesting a few minor changes. Excellent venue and staff - no need to look elsewhere! Thank you, MRDC Celebration Center!!

Monica and her team were amazing!! They made our dreams come to a reality with the ability to be flexible with what we needed, but also ensure everything was smooth and perfect.

We would 10/10 recommend this as your wedding venue. A beautiful yet intimate space right on the Mississippi!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than the Mississippi River Distilling Company Celebration Center in LeClaire for our wedding. The space was absolutely perfect for the vibe we wanted: elegant, fun, and full of character.
The bridal suite was ideal for getting ready with my bridesmaids and moms, spacious, comfortable, and such a great place to spend the morning together. The guys also loved the groom suite and had a great time getting ready there. It really made the whole day feel relaxed and seamless.
Our ceremony on the rooftop was stunning. Overlooking the Mississippi River made for a gorgeous backdrop and unforgettable photos.
Monica was wonderful to work with throughout the process, easygoing, responsive, and helpful, which made planning so much less stressful. And the drinks were incredible! Having signature cocktails that were both fun and genuinely delicious was a huge hit with our guests and added such a personal touch to the reception.
From start to finish, everything came together beautifully. We received so many compliments from guests about the venue, the views, and the drinks. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s memorable, well-run, and has an amazing atmosphere, this place is an absolute gem.

On the last hottest day of the year, we had our beautiful wedding and we couldn't have picked a better venue! Monica and crew were very punctual about answering any questions that came up (which were A LOT lol) and were so helpful during the event itself. I highly recommend using this place for any occasion due to it's versatile accommodations and breathtaking views. The handmade variety of cocktails were AHmazing! All of our guests were impressed at the place and location. The river boat Twilight even made an appearance during golden hour! I'm sad that our big day is already over, but there's always room for more events. :)

From the minute we reached out to MRDC to have our wedding there to the minute we left the night of our wedding , everything was PERFECT! Monica , the owner,who coordinator everything with us is hands down the best and made everything leading up to our big day so smooth and easy! The day of our wedding Monica was there the whole time and truly felt like one of our best friends who wanted to help us with everything to make our day perfect. All of us had things we needed her for and she was right there to ensure she had a solution for us or guided us to find a solution! We could not have had the most perfect wedding & reception if it wasn’t for Monica!! The bartenders were so friendly and made the best cocktails, so thankful for them! The venue is so big, beautiful and absolutely perfect for any type of wedding! The men and women’s get ready rooms are so cute and fun and I’ve never seen a venue that has all the amenities that MRDC has! You can’t beat the view MRDC has, the beautiful brick building, the cocktails, the spacious venue, the kitchen in the basement, the elevator, the get ready rooms. We are beyond happy with Monica, her staff , Ann the venue! Highly recommend

Monica and her team were an absolute DREAM to work with. I was lucky enough to host my bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and wedding ceremony at the Celebration Center, and every step of the way Monica was kind, accommodating, and eager to assist in any way she could. She truly made a notoriously “stressful” experience so much smoother and we cannot thank her and her team enough.

Our entire experience with MRDC was fantastic. Every staff member was super nice and professional through every step of the process!! We can not recommend them enough!

My husband and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED having our wedding at the Celebration Center! The venue exceeded all our expectations—from the stunning rooftop ceremony with breathtaking views of the Mississippi River to the impeccable design that looks straight out of a magazine. I can't even count the number of compliments we received from our guests about how gorgeous the ceremony and reception were. When we first got engaged, it was crucial for us to find a venue that was modern, updated, and truly special. The Celebration Center is all that and more—quite literally picture-perfect. If you're looking for a wedding venue that will leave you and your guests in awe, this is it. There truly isn’t another venue in the QC that compares! Getting ready on the big day was also a dream. I loved spending time in the bridal suite—it was the perfect space to relax and get my hair and makeup done. My husband equally enjoyed hanging out with his friends in the barrel cellar, which had such a cool, unique vibe. And let’s talk about the DELICIOUS cocktails! Our guests were raving about the drinks, which were a refreshing departure from the usual wedding fare. It was so cool to offer something unique and memorable. But what truly sets the Celebration Center apart is the staff. They are the heart and soul of this venue, and they made our day even more special. Planning the wedding with Monica was an absolute dream. She guided us every step of the way, ensuring we were genuinely happy and that the day would unfold exactly as we had envisioned. She made the entire planning process feel effortless and was always available to answer every one of my (many) last-minute questions with grace and expertise. It’s clear she takes immense pride in her work and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Thanks to Monica and the incredible team, our big day was as perfect as we’d always dreamed. On the wedding day itself, our guests couldn’t stop raving about how friendly and attentive the staff was—they truly went above and beyond. I wholeheartedly recommend the Celebration Center to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding experience. You won’t find a better venue or a more dedicated team in the QC!

We had our wedding here at the Celebration Center in the beginning of July and it was absolutely beautiful! We held our cocktail hour on the roof and our guests loved the views of the river! The staff here were wonderful to work with and made the process of planning very easy and helpful for us from the beginning. It was a great space for our reception, where we had around 120 guests. We appreciated all of the details that were provided for our wedding day and would highly recommend the Celebration Center to others! Will remember this day for the rest of our lives!
