Highland Brewing Company was an incredible venue for our Welcome Party from the very beginning, the communication with Erin Winters and Monica Mayville was quick, responsive, and easy to work with. When we had to quickly move our welcome party from New Belgium in February due to the hurricane, the team at Highland Brewing worked with us to get us situated for an April wedding. The spacious venue was perfect for our 99 person welcome party, and the staff was fantastic in helping us execute our special day. The beautiful space and great communication made our wedding day perfect. We highly recommend Highland Brewing Company as a wedding venue.

I'm going to REALLY try to not make this review an entire novel. Cutting straight to the chase BOOK THEM! Chef John and Natasha (and entire team) were exceptional from DAY ONE! Yes the venue is gorgeous, but the people really make the place. They have several packages to book from. I loved having options. I had weekly questions lol, they answered expeditiously, detailed and were never rude (not one time). THE FOOD babyyyy; mouth watering. They provide the wedding party lunch and it's real food not just a sandwich tray. They always said "we make sure our bride and goom eat", and they kept that promise. We ate and we ate good! Our guest were also very happy! Lastly, they somehow have a way of making you feel like you are the only wedding that is going on and obviously that is not the case. Their attention to detail was exactly what we needed. This helped us check things off our box and also recall things that we may have forgotten or not thought about. Based on the excessive use of exclamation points you can tell we were very happy with The Chandelier Wedding & Event Venue. You will not regret booking your event here!

My wife and I spent a lot of time visiting wedding venues in the Triangle area. Before discovering The Distillery we had narrowed our choices down to a few finalists, but the moment we toured the venue and met the team we knew this was the perfect place for us. After meeting Chad Biggs the owner and Matt Cooper the venue director, we were completely sold on hosting our wedding here. We could not be happier with our decision. The venue is stunning and had absolutely everything we needed to create the wedding of our dreams. Working with Chad and Matt was such a fun and stress free experience. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled and that our special day ran smoothly. Their flawless communication, attention to detail, and expertise continued to impress us throughout the entire process. On the wedding day the team arrived early and worked tirelessly to support us and every one of our vendors.

Ironclad was the absolute perfect place to host our wedding! Rachel and the entire staff made everything so easy and the space worked perfectly for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. The price was all inclusive- to include the venue, the staff, and open bar for our guests for a designated amount of time and ended up being cheaper than it would have been had we purchased all the elements separately, and with the convenience of having everything (and everyone) under one roof! The ambience was exactly what we were looking for: rustic, yet dreamy- with twinkle lights everywhere. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to say “I do”!

Heist opened its doors in 2012, as Charlotte's only Craft Brewpub. Originally brewing on a 10HL German brewhouse, we expanded in 2017, adding 30 barrel production facility.

Since then, we have worked tirelessly to expand our portfolio, now ranging from hazy IPAs and pilsners to fruited sours and adjuncted stouts. We still make the occasional small batches, which are typically kept in house for pours at both our locations.

Heist Brewery and Barrel Arts was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Courtney and her team were easy to communicate with, very accommodating, and prompt in responding to all of our questions. The venue itself was large and versatile, allowing us to create the perfect atmosphere for our special day. Our guests raved about the delicious food, and we found the pricing to be very reasonable. We loved working with the Heist Brewery and Barrel Arts team and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a fun, well-run wedding reception venue.
