    The Best Place to Have A Wedding!

    My Husband and I fell in love with the Distillery the moment we stepped into the venue for our tour. Chad and his staff are amazing people and were very organized and thoughtful. They made sure we had the best day! Their preferred vendors list allows everyone to work in harmony for smooth transitions and memorable guest experience! All of our guest and family loved the location and enjoyed themselves!

    Beautiful venue

    I can’t even put into words how incredible this venue is! Chad and his team went above and beyond to make our wedding truly the best day ever. This was the first venue we toured and we immediately fell in love. There are endless possibilities to design the space. Highly recommend this venue and Chad’s team for planning services!

    Gorgeous open versatile space

    My aesthetic is modern minimalist with accents of black & white with pops of spring colors. The space versatile for intimate weddings or larger gatherings. Chad & Alli were easy to work with and communicate with. I was planning out intimate wedding from out of town and only saw the venue in person a few days before the wedding. The clean white walls, accents of black and huge windows make it great for photographers and room configurations.

    Amazing experience, highly recommend!

    Could not have had a better experience! This venue was perfect in every aspect. The owner and staff of the venue helped to make our wedding day seamless. The space is absolutely beautiful and very clean. There is a large bridal suite with a private bathroom as well and two large bathrooms for guests. Very flexible with use of the space. So happy I went with this venue!! Highly recommend

    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 best venue and team I could have asked for

    The Distillery was everything and more For my wedding! Chad & Ali are two of the kindest people ever and helped me so so much in the planning and execution of my big day. I could not have had the smooth and beautiful day I did without them! The distillery itself is gorgeous completely on its own or decked out with decor - making it perfect for any style and budget. From beautiful green space, open floor plan, on site bridal suite, gorgeous bathrooms - it had everything I needed, wanted, and everything I didn’t even know I’d need/want! The BEST quality for the price I have seen ANYWHERE. My venue was the first part of my wedding I chose and I can confidently say it was the best decision I made because it also lead me and influenced me in choosing all my other vendors! I can’t recommend The Distillery enough.

    Amazing Space, Amazing Team!

    I cannot speak highly enough about my experience using The Distillery as our wedding venue! Right away during our site tour, we fell in love with not only the modern, elegant space, but the venue owner's clear investment in making sure that each couple's day is everything they hope it to be. Chad's knowledge and experience in the industry was extensive and he & his team answered every question we had throughout our entire wedding planning process (and even answered ones we hadn't anticipated) thoroughly. They went above and beyond in SO many ways to make sure the the logistics of our wedding day ran smoothly. Day of, I was BLOWN away with how professional, helpful, and efficient Chad & his team were. I was able to relax and take in all the amazing moments of the day all while they worked seamlessly with the other vendors. My expectations were exceeded beyond what I could have imagined. This gorgeous space works for any vision and the value of both the space and the team are the highest quality! I have already referred a coworker that fell in love and I would refer others a million times more to this space for your special day!

    Emotionally Magical!

    Details do matter and this vendor/team are well versed with a wide range of weddings. They have the knowledge of asking critical questions that lead to the magical event! The Distillery is beautiful, clean, and unique as a blank backdrop for any type of wedding.

    Christmas Winter Wonderland

    “A Christmas Wonderland Wedding” is what I have imagined since I was a little girl. On the day of my wedding when the doors opened for the first time I was in complete awe of the perfection created by Chad Biggs and his team. I might be biased because he is my god father, but I cannot stress enough the professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail he gave to this wedding. Chad had a little over four months to plan, coordinate with vendors, run the rehearsal, and day of coordinations. No words can describe how secure and stress free he made this entire process. He was reassuring and direct when I needed it. He was loving and professional. He was exactly what every couple needs on their big day. Chad and his team make dreams come true.

    10/10 recommend!

    I am so happy I decided to have my wedding at The Distillery!!! Not only is it a beautiful venue, but Chad Biggs and his team are fantastic, and made every part of my big day run smoothly. If there were any hiccups, I didn't notice, and that's about all you can ask for as a bride! I would absolutely recommend the Distillery as a venue and Chelsea Ramsey with Chad Biggs Planning for day-of coordination!

    Beautiful Venue!!!

    My husband and I chose The Distillery to have our fall wedding. The venue is absolutely beautiful and spacious. It is unique and versatile making it extremely easy to transform the space into your wedding vision and theme. Not only is the venue beautiful the service is excellent. The experience was amazing from start to finish. Chad and his team are extremely professional and very responsive! They offer everything you need and make the process a very smooth experience. The team is extremely friendly and make the wedding experience fun and one you will not forget. I highly recommend this venue for any any couple looking for a beautiful canvas to have their wedding day.

    The Distillery made all of my wedding dreams come true. I cannot thank Chad and his team enough for the entire experience. They handled everything and made a complete stress free environment for me as the Bride, as well as my family. I can’t recommend The Distillery enough!

    The Greatest Venue!

    The Distillery is the greatest venue in the Raleigh area! My husband and I toured back in January 2021 when it was a construction zone. We were struggling to find a space close to Raleigh that could accommodate our large guest count. After seeing The Distillery, meeting Chad and his team, and hearing of his plans- we were sold! Chad's experience in the wedding business allowed him to create a practically perfect wedding venue. He has thought of every detail from lighting to wall colors. If there were issues on our wedding day, which I am positive there were, we never knew about them. Our guests commented on how beautiful and unique the venue was and how at home they felt when they were there. Chad and his team thought of everything and they truly cared about all of us when we were guests in their space. They accommodated our large bridal party with ease and were able to create an experience that was perfect for us. The green space across the street was beautiful for our sunset bride and groom pictures. The best part of booking your wedding at The Distillery is that Chad and his team treat you like family from start to finish, and that is something that you will not find in other places.

    Book the Venue!!!

    From our first inital tour of The Distillery, we knew this was our only choice for our wedding venue! Chad was so welcoming and made us feel so comfortable about the entire process. The tour was amazing and the venue is so beautiful!! Chad and his team were very professional and knowledgeable which made the experience even more comforting. From rehersal to our wedding day-such a phenomenal experience. The venue was not too far from the RDU airport or local hotels which made it easier for our out of town guests. Parking was a breeze and no one had complaints about getting lost prior to arriving.

    The Distillery has such a beautiful bridal suite and I loved their women's guest bathroom (take a tour and you'll understand why!lol). The venue has beautiful windows that add a pop to your professional photos and we loved our hanging cake! We had plenty of space to dance and have fun! Chad and his team stayed by our side the entire day and we really enjoyed their presence! Chad even took a moment to celebrate with us (see the photo attached). Overall, our experience with The Distillery was exceptional and better than we could have ever imagined. I would highly recommend booking this venue! You will not be disappointed!!! Thank you again The Distillery for such an amazing wedding day experience!

    Truly Incredible!

    Where do I even begin!? Choosing The Distillery as our wedding venue was the easiest choice we could’ve ever made! Besides the immaculate space, the attention to detail, the cleanliness, and the variety of options, what completely sold us was Chad and his team. They go above and beyond for each and everyone of your clients and we’re always there for us every step of the process. They not only made sure our wedding day was a dream come true, they were nice, sweet, empathetic and helpful. They were up for all of our ideas, and help us execute them perfectly! I truly couldn’t imagine getting married at any other venue with any other team!

    Perfect wedding experience

    The Distillery was the second wedding venue we toured and we knew immediately it was the place for our daughter’s spring wedding. The venue itself is breathtaking – every single detail (even the sitting area in the ladies room) is amazing. From the ceremony space, to bar and dance floor it was exactly what my daughter and her fiancé were looking in an indoor space for a large wedding that would still feel intimate. The open white space juxtaposed by the industrial touches are so unique and allows the couple to really design the space for their needs. The venue provides a good number of items with the rental – tables, chairs, cocktail tables, easels, etc. and for other rentals, (i.e. linens, plates, glassware, flatware), they worked closely with us to ensure we had everything we needed. Any question we had in the 11 month planning process was quickly answered and our coordinator Janna was simply the best in keeping everything and everyone on track. The owner Chad is very hands on and was there for so many meetings and the big day itself. They made it a fun process and our daughter feel very special as the bride. They love what they do and are an incredible team!

    The day of the wedding the bridal party arrived to a beautiful bridal suite stocked with treats and the Distillery’s wedding team already hard at work. I am sure there were last minute issues and emergencies but we never knew it. They flawlessly executed a full room flip from ceremony space to dinner for 170 during cocktail hour with the other vendors. I am still blown away at how much we were able to soak up the entire day and enjoy every moment – it was perfect. Everything the bride and groom had planned went off without a hitch and all the guests had an amazing time. After the sparkler send off, the happy couple took off for their honeymoon and we were handed the keys to our car already loaded up with gifts and personal items from the evening. We were completely blown away!

    The Distillery

    The Distillery was the perfect venue for our spring wedding. The venue has an expansive indoor space where we were able to have both our ceremony and reception. My parents toured the venue with me on Facetime since I was unable to be there, and it was so perfect that we booked it before I was even able to see it in person. After seeing it in person, I knew that I had made the right choice. Every part of the venue was thoughtfully designed by Chad and his team, from the layout of the bridal suite, to the fun swing in the women's bathroom!
    The venue itself was amazing, but Chad's team is what really sold us! Our coordinator, Janna, was amazing to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly on our big day! On our wedding day, the whole team made us feel so special and cared for. We did not have to worry about anything and were able to relax and enjoy the day. We couldn't have asked for a better team or venue for our special day!

    Absolutely amazing!

    I could write a book on all the things I LOVE about this venue, their planners, and Chad. From the moment I reached out to The Distillery I felt special. Kaisey addressed my initial message by stating my name and my fiancé’s, which she had to look at my profile to know his name as well. She was SO sweet, personable, prompt, and helpful. I knew before I even toured I LOVED Kaisey, Chad, and all the other planners at The Distillery. The venue itself is a dream, but so is the staff. When you planning a wedding you need obviously your dream venue but also it’s just as important to have your dream team of vendors to work with… hands down that is The Distillery. Every step of the way I have felt like a priority to Kaisey, Chad, and the team. They wanted to know me on a personal level not just as their bride. My sweet dad passed away the other month and Kaisey reached out to me to check on me and ask what she can do to help me with… WOW, again I say they care so much. I continue to be impressed with this group of good hearted people. To all the brides out there… this is the place to get married I am telling you. Dream venue, and dream vendors by far. If I could give them 100 stars I would!!!!

    Unbelievable value and commitment to excellence

    Wow! What an evening! We are just now coming out of the fog of the weekend and we have enjoyed reflecting on the details of the event with each other, family, friends, and of course, the bride and groom. Everyone was so impressed with the whole package. Harper and Steve are very pleased with how things turned out. I know that there had to have been hitches that night that we will never know…thank you for that. I hate that the band caused issues, but that seemed to get better as the evening progressed. Thank you for all you did to ensure flawless execution and that we all stayed on time and followed through. You both have so much passion for what you do, a commitment to customer service excellence and professionalism, a can-do approach and positive attitude, and a clear vision of what success looks like. This is a true recipe for success. I know you were just doing your job, but you made us feel very important throughout the process and that did not go unnoticed. Thank you, thank you!

    The BEST Wedding Venue

    There are not enough words to describe The Distillery! From the moment my husband and I walked in this venue (even in the midst of construction lol) we knew this was going to be it! The owner, Chad, was so energetic & the way he described what the venue was going to look like- we knew this was the one! We loved the gorgeous space filled with white walls and the gold chandeliers- IT WAS PERFECT for our minimal & classy wedding! The small details in this venue are so perfect & add the perfect touch~ And the space itself is just breathtaking! Our guests loved everything about The Distillery. The layout of the space is perfect for any size wedding, business event, etc. Til this day, our guests cannot stop talking about how beautiful our venue was and how great our wedding planners Chad & Chelsea were! Not only did we get to have our wedding at the best WEDDING venue, but we got to work with an incredible team! None of the bridesmaids, guests, groomsmen -like no one had to lift a finger to get anything done because Chad & Chelsea took care of everything! I cannot recommend The Distillery enough- this is by far the BEST WEDDING VENUE & we had an incredible wedding! We talk about our wedding day still to this day because we could not have pictured anything more perfect!

    Every couple dreams of the perfect wedding. The Distillery made sure that happened! Kaisey and Chad are a dynamic duo and they delivered a very magical wedding for my daughter. The venue is beautiful! The design was well planned and can accommodate any event. There was not one thing that hadn't been thought of prior to the wedding day. Kaisey has magical powers and her experience definitely showed during the weeks leading up to and the wedding day. Every detail, such as how to hold flowers for pictures, was covered in the rehearsal. I honestly can't say enough about the professionalism they offer, the beautiful venue and awesome staff. As the mother of the bride, it was such a relief to know that I could sit back, relax and enjoy every minute of the wedding, including the packing up of items we brought.

    I highly recommend The Distillery. I highly recommend Kaisey Wilkinson as your coordinator.

    Book your wedding at The Distillery NOW!

    We met Chad Biggs in October when The Distillery was still just an empty warehouse and a beautiful vision. Chad shared his vision with us and we could see it come alive. We knew immediately that we wanted our wedding at The Distillery. Our wedding planner, Katie Clark, with Chad Biggs Event Planning was a delight to work with from the moment we met her. Katie came in and saved the day on multiple occasions before the wedding. As the wedding date came closer both Chad and Katie helped keep this nervous bride calm.

    Then the big day came, I knew and trusted this team with every single detail. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding morning knowing that Katie and Chad had everything under control. Our wedding was beyond anything I could ever dream of. They took my budget friendly wedding and turned it into a beautiful elegant masterpiece. To say I cried when I saw it finished would be an understatement. From start to finish the experience was absolutely the best. We are forever fans and supporters of The Distillery, Katie Clark, and Chad Biggs. Thank you for making our wedding a day we will remember for a lifetime.
