Awesome Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Drinks!

Our experience with the DRD was top notch, from the initial planning phase to the final invoice! Alyssa, the event coordinator, was quick to respond to all my questions and made sure the event ran smoothly from set up to tear down. Our guests were well taken care of and enjoyed a truly unique experience.

Most beautiful venue!!!

We are so happy we got this venue. Our night was perfect and it was everything I envisioned. Alyssa was so easy to work with throughout the whole process and she made sure we had everything we needed. The chandeliers and the decor is absolutely stunning! They offer so much and the layout is so cool. If you’re looking for beautiful decor, stunning venue, and amazing service this is the venue to go with. Also, we got some amazing roof top shots !!!

Wedding reception

We had our wedding reception there and it was nothing short of perfect. Alyssa's communication and professionalism made it downright easy. We hesitated to book as it stretched our budget just a touch, but it was 100% worth it and we have no regrets. They made it so easy! We had a couple of changes along the way and Alyssa was so responsive and accommodating, I was extremely impressed. The bar staff is just a delight. We've been there for drinks on a random night as well, it's the same staff, and they were just so sweet even before knowing that we'd booked. We look forward to visiting in the future and reminiscing!

Perfect Wedding

Let me tell you that this venue and the amazing staff went above and beyond to make our special day one of the best weddings any of our guests had ever been to.
They were responsive and worked with us for all of the quirky things we wanted to do. It's a beautiful venue and it's so close to the hotels and downtown lights that it was perfect for our guests too who needed something to do before the wedding.
We had about 100 people and it was nothing less than perfection for the wedding festivities. I even want to push my work to have our Christmas party here next year!
If you're looking for something that gets you the most bang for your buck, the flexibility to really do want you want to do, and the convenience and proximity of downtown for your guests, this is the place for you.
It will forever hold a special place in our hearts 🖤

Beautiful Venue and Beautiful People

I chose Devil's River Whiskey Distillery because of a myriad of reasons. One of the big ones was the aesthetics. It's absolutely gorgeous, but one of the best things about the venue is the many ways you can use the space and how they're helpful to your guests. We had our ceremony on the ground floor, our dinner in the speakeasy below the main floor, then we had our reception/dancing on the main floor again. There is an elevator for people who need it, and this worked amazingly. The space was beautiful and the staff did a WONDERFUL job, helping people know where to go, great service, and super attentive. The head bartender and manager, Garrett, along with the venue coordinator, Alyssa, were absolutely amazing. They were flexible, always quick to respond to me when I had questions, patient, and they truly bent over backwards to make our wedding beautiful. They worked well with vendors, had great communication skills, and were exceedingly kind and gracious to us and our family and friends.

The benefit, space wise, of this venue is that if the party is going and you have friends and family who need a break, they can retreat back to the quiet of the speakeasy or go sit on the patio. My guests loved these spaces, especially my older relatives who didn't want to be near loud music. The DJ was situated on the floor above the dance floor, which was a blessing as it meant more space for the ceremony and reception below.

The venue is truly beautiful, and if a couple wants a classic or even art deco/1920s themed wedding, it's good for that. The space is also great to dress up with whatever vibe the couple is going for.

Once again, the main reason to use the venue here is the staff. They were very open, and Alyssa communicated with me well-over a year in advance and was never too busy too answer my questions throughout the year leading up to the wedding. They were super organized, went and above and beyond to clear spaces, help guests, and communicate with vendors. I'm so grateful and thankful for the staff at Devil's River! They went above and beyond, making sure I was as stress-free as possible on my wedding day.

ALSO, it is a distillery and the whiskey they serve is VERY good! The whiskey cocktails they make were such a huge hit with the guests we had tons of wine leftover! We chose an Open Bar, which does cost more than a cash bar, but for us it was worth it. But they had different options that can help with a couple on a budget!

Stop, you found your venue!

If you want a unique, edgy, classy, and stylish venue you can stop looking cause you just found it. As a bride who wanted something unique, moody, and wanted guests to be entertained throughout the wedding this place checked all those boxes. Every nook and cranny is filled with details, history, and has this moody vibe that everyone raved about. We were the last to get married out of our group and every married couple said they've never been to a wedding like it. Don't worry about the two stories because out guest felt like they were being transported. From the ceremony, to cocktail, to reception, every space felt different and we were thrilled to see the floors and space transform. Alyssa kicked ass with helping us, and working with our coordinator. She is on top of it, organized, and if you're a type A like me, she is your new best friend. Book this place now before it's too late!

Best Decision Ever

Our venue shut down the beginning of 2020 and Loretta and Mike were so helpful and made us feel welcomed. They are very communicative and are always ready to help. Due to the pandemic we did have to postpone until April and even then they made sure everything was just right. It was the DECISION we could’ve have made. Not to forget the bartenders and day of staff were INCREDIBLE. I wish I could rate them higher!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
