About

On WeddingWire since 2020

The Whiskey Factory is a banquet hall wedding venue situated in Detroit, MI. Found within the confines of a historic downtown property, this one-of-kind location operates as both a premier event space and an operational spirit distillery. Spread out over 7,000 square foot with a stunningly ornate industrial interior, it offers couples a unique venue to create unforgettable celebrations. It features a range of facilities and an event coordination team to help you every step of the way. Every inch of this venue exudes a sense of vintage style that combines the rustic with the modern. Whiskey barrels line the walls and it even features an original vintage bar constructed in the 1920s. Originally designed as a brewery for the Goebel Brewing Company in the 1930s, it became an ice-cream factory after prohibition turned Detroit into a dry city. Over the years it has retained its industrial loft layout but certain features have been added to give it a sense of modern chic charm. The Whiskey Factory is perfect for celebrating every stage of your wedding, from your walk down the aisle right through to the last dance. With its spacious layout, it can accommodate gatherings of up to 250 guests, with room for a dance floor and live entertainment. The event coordination team will help you every step of the way, offering a range of preferred local vendors from caterers to florists. As it is a functioning distillery, there are also a variety of beverage packages to choose from, including artisan cocktails featuring spirits crafted in-house. Whatever your dream wedding looks like this superb venue will provide a timeless backdrop that will ensure that you savor every last drop.

Wedding review

Having a wedding here was like a page out of a fairy tail. This place really does make your wedding dream become a reality.
We got married in exactly 1 year to the day we were engaged. We were always adamant about having a Detroit wedding but weren’t sure where where to start. We came across the Whisky Factory and fell in love with it immediately. Booking it was one of the easiest and best decisions that we have ever made.

Whether it was when we first secured our date, the constant communication and check-ins at certain points before the wedding to make sure we were as ready as could be, or the day of, there communication, insight, and efforts made for the perfect wedding. They have an amazing event team, but have to give a special shout-out to Bethany and Amelia for running the behind the scenes work the day of. Bethany was so helpful from the start with our tasting and helping us decide on which drinks would go best. Everyone is so kind and wants you to have everything you want and dream of on your special day.

We are speechless by how beautiful the ceremony and reception turned out. Without the Whisky Factory and their amazing staff, we would not of had truly the most perfect wedding.

You cannot beat this venue. If you book with them, they are also a distillery and make all of their spirits and cocktails in house. They also have partnered with two unique and we received so many compliments from our guests that it was the best food and cocktails that they had ever had at a wedding. We couldn’t have asked for anything better in a venue and we are so beyond happy that we chose them for our most special day.

Amazing Wedding Venue + Experience!

We had our 6/24/23 wedding at the Whiskey Factory and it couldn't have been a better fit. From the very first inquiry, the team was responsive, informative, and helpful. We had the unique experience of planning a Michigan wedding from out of state, and they made sure we could get a virtual tour before booking as well as extended flexibility in scheduling an on site visit when our travel schedule allowed. We got married at the bar, and the lighting was incredible for our photographer to capture us during the ceremony and as we walked down the aisle as husband and wife! Whiskey Factory also offers a drink tasting which was SUCH a fun way to interact with the venue and make our wedding day unique to us. We got SO many compliments on our featured drinks. They recently started making a tequila drink, and this was a HUGE hit with our guests. We also wanted to include a mocktail option in our batch to be inclusive and respectful of all guest experiences, and Bethany worked with her team to ensure we could add this as well! This was also a huge hit with guests, highly recommend! A big thanks to the Whiskey Factory team for an unforgettable experience!

Thank you Whiskey Factory!

We had our wedding at the Whiskey Factory on 6/17/23 and couldn't have asked for a better venue or staff to work with. I knew the Whiskey Factory was cool but was completely blown away by how beautiful it looked on our wedding day! It was amazing to see how everything came together so perfectly. Amelia, Bethany, and everyone at the WF made planning so easy - I don't know how they do it! They are truly the sweetest people who want your day/event to be perfect and their care shines through every communication. Every step of the way was so fun - from touring the venue, to the cocktail tasting, to the actual wedding day. We got so many compliments on the beautiful and unique venue, the drinks, the food, and overall how seamlessly everything was run. I only wished it didn't go by so fast! Thank you SO much!
