Book them. Trust me.

My husband and I chose to have our wedding at the Distillery this past March. Let me tell you, I wish I could do it all over again just to relive the magic of the day. We booked over a year out from our wedding date and Chad, the owner, did not let us lose our excitement. We attended multiple open houses along with keeping in touch over email. Chad cares about the venue and the couples like they are his family and you can absolutely tell why it's the best venue in the area.

His team is top-notch and the perfection that is achieved it beyond words. The venue itself was amazing, but Chad's team is what really sold us! Our coordinator, Kaisey, was amazing to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran seamlessly the day of. On our wedding day, the whole team made sure that our only focus was each other and the joy of the day rather than the little details. We did not have to worry about anything and were able to dance the night away with our families. We couldn't have asked for a better team or venue for the start of our marriage. Thank you thank you!!!

The Perfect Place for Your Wedding

My wife and I spent a lot of time visiting wedding venues in the Triangle area. Before discovering The Distillery we had narrowed our choices down to a few finalists, but the moment we toured the venue and met the team we knew this was the perfect place for us. After meeting Chad Biggs the owner and Matt Cooper the venue director, we were completely sold on hosting our wedding here.

We could not be happier with our decision. The venue is stunning and had absolutely everything we needed to create the wedding of our dreams. Working with Chad and Matt was such a fun and stress free experience. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled and that our special day ran smoothly. Their flawless communication, attention to detail, and expertise continued to impress us throughout the entire process.
On the wedding day the team arrived early and worked tirelessly to support us and every one of our vendors. They treated our day with such care and gave us the peace of mind we needed to just enjoy each moment.

I would wholeheartedly recommend The Distillery to anyone in the Triangle planning a wedding. Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made for our celebration. Thank you Chad, Matt, Cameron and the whole Distillery team for making our wedding the best day of our lives.

Truly the best!

From our very first tour with Chad, we knew The Distillery was the perfect venue for us. Chad has created such a beautiful space, and you can tell how much pride and heart he puts into it. He was so kind and easy to work with throughout the entire process. And we can’t say enough about Matt, the venue manager. He was truly amazing and such a vital part of making our wedding day absolutely perfect. The venue itself is stunning with its big windows and high celilings. Our wedding day was an absolute dream and we will forever cherish our wedding day at The Distillery! We are so thankful for The Distillery team and can't recommend them enough!

Best wedding venue!

Chad and Matt are the best venue owner/managers and are so easy to work with! They made our dreams come true with the most beautiful wedding venue space. The white interior and natural lighting let you make the space as colorful or as neutral as you want. Both Chad and Matt were very responsive and answered any and all questions we had. We are so glad we chose to get married at The Distillery and loved every minute of our day! Your wedding day will be magical if you book this venue!

Beautiful venue!

The venue is gorgeous and a blank canvas to turn into whatever you want. Lots of natural light and just overall gorgeous. The personalized venue scent and the fun bathroom as just an added fun touch. Beautiful accents like the chandeliers, large windows, and beautiful bar. We loved this venue!

Beautiful venue in historic downtown Garner

As someone who has grown up in Garner, this was the perfect venue for us to get married at. The bridal suite was perfect for me and my bridesmaids, and the ceremony and reception area were beautifully decorated. Communication with the venue was very easy and their team thinks of all the details to make your special day go perfectly.

The perfect space

We could not be more blown away by The Distillery and the professionalism of the event space. Matt the venue director was such a pleasure to work with, and a great person in general. Chad, the owner of the space was amazing. This space allows for the perfect clean slate to make all your dreams and vision come true. I am so thankful we had our wedding here.

Perfect Venue!

The Distillery was everything I could have imagined! The venue was absolutely beautiful and we got so many compliments about it! The location was great, being so close to Raleigh that traveling was easy for out of town guest, and the guest that wanted to downtown after the wedding was over were able to easily get Ubers. The layout of the venue was simple and had a great flow, making moving guest around easy. We had about 160 people at our wedding and the building didn’t feel close to crowded at any point of the night. The venue staff was wonderful and they were super clear about pricing and rules. They had a vendor list (some required and some suggestions) full of amazing options that made planning super easy and stress free! Our wedding at the distillery was romantic, gorgeous, and everything I could have asked for!!

Book The Distillery!

After touring The Distillery with Chad Biggs, the venue owner, we knew this is exactly where we wanted to have our special day!

It is a perfect mix of modern yet classic backdrop, that allows couples flexibility to add their own flair. The bridal suite is a great size for the bridal party preparations as well. While our celebrations were all indoors, they offer creative solutions for outdoor alternatives and photos as well!

Matt Cooper, the venue manager, was INCREDIBLE to work with, alongside our vendors, to ensure a seamless day!

We will always remember this venue and our favorite day! I would absolutely recommend The Distillery for your special occasions!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
