The 45th Parallel Distillery was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was efficient, understandable, and they responded quickly with a friendly and helpful demeanor. The interior and exterior of the venue are absolutely beautiful, with great lighting, a lovely bridal suite, a large airplane hangar door, and a cozy patio with a fire pit. The staff went above and beyond in every way to make sure our day was absolutely perfect - they even created a personalized slideshow of photos of my husband and I with our dogs that was so special to see up on the screen. We barely needed to decorate because the venue looked amazing on its own, but there was definitely plenty of room for us to add our own personal touches. The food options were also fantastic. We are so grateful to the team at 45th Parallel for helping make our wedding day everything we could have dreamed of and more. I recommend 45th every time!
