Venue considerations

  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • Does not allow pets
  • Does not have a dance floor
From the moment we started planning our wedding at Powder Hollow Brewery, the team there was incredibly attentive to our every need. Kenzie, the event coordinator, was super accommodating and always checked in to see if we needed anything. The venue was also very affordable, and they provided all the tables, chairs, and buffet supplies we needed, which made the event planning process much smoother. In fact, they even let us come in the night before to decorate the space, which was a huge help on the day of the event. The bridal shower we held there was fabulous, and there were several other events like music and a book fair happening during our party, but Kenzie handled it all beautifully and we and our guests had a wonderful time. We couldn't have asked for a better event venue!
