the BEST decision we made!!!

We truly don't have enough good things to say about District Winery. They were actually the only vendor we ended up visiting, because we knew right away that it was THE place to get married. Having really good food was important to both of us, and if that's important to you, there is no better venue. The appetizers are some of the best we have ever had, and people tell us how amazing the cocktail hour was several months later. The dinner was beyond incredible, and our guests loved the elevated family style with bowls of salad and sides on the table so guests could help themselves while the entrees were served. We had 3 options for entrees, and guests were able to take as many as they wanted. The hardest part of getting married at DW was choosing between all the amazing food options! Several guests have told us that our wedding had the best wedding food they've ever had.

On top of that, the venue itself is beautiful with views of the river and a heated patio. The bartenders were amazing, and developed a rapport with our guests to the point that they remembered people's drink orders or came up with drinks on the spot based on what guests said they liked.

We had about 120 guests, and the room easily accommodated our wedding size without feeling too empty. The room is beautiful on its own, and it's not one of those venues where you feel like you need to add a lot of florals or expensive decor to make it feel elevated. Finally, the staff and event planners were amazing and completely committed to making sure we had the day we'd always imagined. Getting married at DW was the best decision we made!

District Winery Wedding

District winery was an amazing space to get married at and for us very special, we had our first date there. The team especially Rheanna and Kat did everything to make our day perfect. From about 3 months out to wedding day you are in almost constant contact with them and they handle every detail to make your day perfect. We couldn't have asked for our day to be more perfect and we are so happy we chose district winery. They made wedding planning as smooth as humanly possible and for that we are so grateful. If you are looking for a sign to book your wedding here this is it. If you want a stress free and fun wedding day, district winery will do everything to make that happen.

Wedding at District Winery 10/2023

We had our wedding in October 2023 at District Winery and it was the most magical and memorable day ever! Our day of planner Rheanna and her team were fantastic throughout the entire process leading up to and the day of our wedding. She really helped our dream wedding come to life and provided insight and ideas that made the day so special. From the moment we toured the venue, my husband and I fell in love the the beautiful views and the modern yet classic feel of the reception space. The food was delicious and we loved the different options we could choose from to have during our reception. Not to mention the fun add on of the taco bar which was a huge hit! In addition, we loved the options for wine and the option for a signature cocktail to have during the reception. One thing that stood out to us the most was that after the ceremony we were brought down to our little room where we could relax and have some small plates before we headed back up to join our guests. This was a special touch that my husband and I appreciated because we were able to take a moment for ourselves to just take it all in and we love that District Winery does this for their couples. We both also appreciated Rheanna and her team the day of the wedding and all the time they took to coordinate where the vendors would need to be as well as helping us make sure all the details were perfect. Rheanna made the day go by so smoothly that we had nothing we needed to worry about besides enjoying our day with family and friends. One small thing that we wished went differently was that the parking gate attendant who was working the day after the wedding tried to charge my family member money to get their car out of the parking lot. Something that was not suppose to happen since our family members were allowed to park in this lot, leave their cars overnight if needed, and then pick up the car without any charge. This was mentioned to District Winery and we hope that this does not happen to someone else in the future and that this person would not do something like this again. Overall, we are truly grateful for District Winery, Rheanna, and her team for making our day amazing. We can’t wait to come back and celebrate as VIC’s now and relive the moments from our wedding day.

Event Manager

After graduating from Johnson & Wales University with a degree in Hospitality Management, and a minor in International Operations Management, I started my career working in various positions in hotels across the country. My true passion has always been helping people create fun and memorable experiences.

I started working at District Winery in October of 2019, and was immediately blown away by the venue. What I love most about working events here is the on-site support we give to our clients. Many venues simply give you a space
and a date to host events, but here at District Winery we have a hands on approach that I feel has an incredible impact on our clients. People who host events with us know that they have a trained professional to help guide them through the planning process and assist them on the day-of.
