Bottleworks Hotel was a perfect spot for our lowkey, intimate wedding. Maddie helped us tons when we decided 6 weeks before our day that we wanted to have a ceremony with family in...
stead of privately. Quickly and seamlessly, we booked a venue room, chose our food options, met on site to talk through details, and hosted 45 guests just weeks later. The hotel is stunning and the staff are super helpful. I highly recommend!

The entire experience for our wedding was seamless and well thought out. We had consistent communication, were put at ease and only had to ask one question the entire time ( which ...
was, " did the cake get here?" To which a passing staff member quickly assured us that it waa).

My husband and I enjoyed our experience at the Bottleworks Hotel. When we found this location for our wedding we knew it was the place. I reached out to them through Wedding Wire a...
nd received a response back very quickly. From there communications with the team started off great and we ended up booking The Club Room (former office room right off of the stairwell). The Club Room was small enough to host our micro wedding of about 20 people, but large enough for them to have room and not feel cramped.
Communication did faulter a bit in the middle, and we had friends who had a really bad experience here with their wedding so we did become a bit nervous around the halfway point. Before our halfway point meeting, we were informed that we would have a new lead coordinator, who ended up being the best. We also discovered our friends issues revolved around the food and alcohol contract and with their coordinator struggling to keep up with communications and documenting the request they made. Their coordinator was not our new coordinator thankfully (I heard from a mutual that their coordinator may not work there anymore). My husband and I did chose not to do a food and alcohol contract just in case, but also due to our bridal party being very small and the reception being hosted off premises.
When we checked in, we immediately felt calm. Typically everyone panics or is stressing right before the wedding, but the atmosphere of the hotel is calming...could partially be the scent of the hotel, they have candles and room sprays called Relax and it smells incredible! (I bought some at the end of our stay and now my house smells incredible). We got a Terrace room and it felt so bright and welcoming and calming. It was hard leaving at checkout.
We did have two small hiccup with The Club Room arrangements. When we mentioned that the stairwell door to the club room needed to be unlocked so i can make the entrance, and that the seating chart we sent over wasn't perfect (they have a clause about not moving furniture yourself - understandable) it was practically immediately it was fixed.
When we discovered my husbands family was running late, causing our ceremony to start later than planned, the staff not only did not rush us to get out, they let us stay in the room longer than we had originally planned. They also opened up a side door in the room for the family so they were not walking in front of the other guest/by the alter. Lastly, the staff reached out to us while we were at dinner and let us know when we returned they would be providing us a bottle of champagne to celebrate, a very appreciated gift after our wedding was delayed by others.
Overall our experience with The Bottleworks was wonderful. We felt incredible relaxed and comfortable there and we plan on visiting again. My only advise is to make sure everything is in writing when communicating (advise from someone who worked in event planning for many years), and to just really go over the food and alcohol policy really well before signing.

everything was perfect! The food manager was amazing and the food was some of the best food we have ever had. The details of the venue are enough to stand out by themselves. Every single person that works at the hotel was more than accommodating for anything that happened.
We wanted to tie in the history of the venue by having some custom coke bottles with our last name on them for our seating chart, Maddie went above and beyond to ensure that we got this detail perfect after having a small hiccup with the names on the bottles.
I could never recommend this venue enough to anyone looking for venue that has a lot to offer in the packages available.

We had the most amazing wedding at The Bottleworks Hotel! The venue was wonderful -- we particularly loved taking pictures on the historic staircase and having our cocktail set-up ...
in the mixing lab. All of the staff went above and beyond. From planning, to tasting, to set-up, to all of the support on the day, everything was PERFECT. Our guests are still talking about how fabulous the food was, and how much fun they had at the wedding.

commodated my very important request for cheese to be added to the bar. Bartenders kept the drinks flowing effortlessly and the library was wonderful. We had about 60 guests and it never felt overcrowded even when everyone was on the dance floor. Maddie took over just before our wedding and she is a the best addition to the bottleworks team. Thanks again for our perfect night!

Bottleworks Hotel was a great wedding vendor! Overall, we had an amazing experience. The venue itself was gorgeous and perfect for our smaller wedding - the details were immaculate...
and we could not have been happier with the details. The wait staff were so helpful and kind. We did have some communication issues with the venue itself; but they were in the process of switching over to a new coordinator at that time so that could have been part of the issues we had. There were also some communication issues regarding budget/cost that were frustrating which is the only thing that is preventing me from rating 5 stars.

loved seeing our vision come to life and it was everything we pictured. We loved making our wedding a weekend get a way and spending 3 nights at the hotel. A lot of our guests stayed the whole weekend and made it a semi destination wedding. The Bottleworks district has everything you and your guests need. Every detail of the space and venue added to the uniqueness of the weekend. We love that since it’s a hotel we can go back and stay and reminisce on our day! We would recommend to any of our friends and family to have their wedding at Bottleworks!

We worked with the team at Bottleworks for years because our first wedding date was postponed multiple times due to COVID restrictions. The events team was phenomenal to work with ...
and really understood our desire to have a non-traditional wedding. We were already legally married by the time we hosted this party and we used every available event space in the hotel to host a penthouse party, cocktail reception, ceremony, and dinner/dance.
This was the perfect place to host our event because everyone on our guest list was traveling from out of state and the area is ideal for tourists. The hotel itself is in the middle of a really cool area with restaurants, a movie theatre, bowling alley, lounges, shops, etc. You will NOT be disappointed at Bottleworks!
