    Great venue for our day

    The venue and staff did a wonderful job supporting our 250 person wedding. They did a great job of accommodating our large wedding on the dock in the middle of a snow storm in November so I’m sure they can handle anything!

    Count not recommend more

    Prairie street brewery was absolute perfection. There really aren’t any words to describe how perfect of a venue they are. Not only is the venue stunning but each person we worked with there was amazing. Our guests were blown away and we still are. We loved the many spaces we were able utilize - the dock, cocktail hour space, and reception space. We can’t wait to go back already even for a beer in the restaurant!

    Professional. Timely. Great food. Incredible.

    PSB was an incredible venue with incredible staff. Danielle and Nitsy were so great to work with leading up to our special day. Both were extremely helpful, quick to answer any questions via email or text, and flexible.

    With rain in the forecast leading up to our wedding day, they knew how much we wanted to have our ceremony on their deck outside. Even with thunderstorms in the forecast day of, they held off on setting up to wait to see if the rain held off. We're extremely grateful they did as we were able to have our wedding ceremony outside. I can't imagine the stress this put the staff under, but we're extremely grateful for them all.

    PSB as a whole is a gorgeous venue and has so much room for those that attend. Nitsy and Danielle were great during the reception, and also coordinated with our band, photographer, the taco food truck we had pull up for late night bites right next to the reception hall, and company that provided our wedding cheesecake.

    The food was choice. As most couples are, we were a bit nervous about a wedding venue also providing food and it being quality for everyone. However, without even asking, we had numerous guests, old and young, come up to us and tell us their plate was very delicious. No matter if they received the beef, chicken, or vegetable lasagna.

    My wife and I are incredibly happy with the venue we chose, and we can't wait to go back and visit for a beer, lunch and see how the staff are doing.

    Thank you, PSB!
