This venue is absolutely gorgeous, and I am still getting complements on the venue and the food provided by the venue to this day. They really went above and beyond to make my day special and handled every issue that came up without bothering me with it. It was raining the day of and they made the decision to move the ceremony from the outside ceremony site to under their tent, which I was a little upset about (obviously the weather is no one’s fault, it was just unfortunate timing) and about 30 minutes before the ceremony it had stopped raining and the venue and their team moved the whole ceremony back outside! They moved all of my decorations and had everything set up beautifully before we started. The staff were also amazing and super helpful and attentive all throughout the night. They really include a lot in their packages and I couldn’t have asked for more from them. Jeremy did our ceremony and it was beautiful and really heartfelt. I won’t be having a wedding any time soon (haha) but I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have a smooth, beautiful wedding.

I DJed my sister’s wedding at Rhinegeist Brewery and it was amazing! The cocktail lounge and signature room were perfect, the staff kept drinks and important moments flowing, and everyone loved being able to head up to the main taproom after the party. The dancefloor area was wonderful, and Jess, the venue coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure Beatriz and Brendon felt taken care of.
