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.
