Elegant Ballroom in Historic Downtown Building
Chuckanut Bay Distillery is quintessential old-meets-new: a modern wedding venue in an historic 20,000-square-foot building in the heart of beautiful downtown Bellingham, WA. This fully renovated location features a large-scale production facility, tasting room, restaurant, bar, rooftop lounge, and grand ballroom for wedding ceremonies, receptions, and celebrations of all kinds.
Matt Howell and Kelly Andrews, the owners of Chuckanut Bay Distillery, share a deep passion for premium spirits and beautiful historic buildings. Since starting the business in 2011, they have won national and international awards for their distilled spirits and completely renovated their historic downtown location, which includes a 4,200 square foot Ballroom with capacity to accommodate up to 300 guests cocktail style, 240 reception only, and 160 for ceremony and reception. With an open floor plan bathed in natural light from a wall of windows, this enchanting space is reminiscent of ballrooms of a bygone era, with hints of our distinct Chuckanut Bay Distillery aesthetic. In addition to the Ballroom, the venue has multiple spaces for couples to utilize on their special day, including a private bridal suite and a rooftop bar with an expansive view of the city skyline and Bellingham Bay.

The Chuckanut Bay Distillery ballroom was the perfect spot for our wedding and reception. The ballroom is absolutely beautiful, as are the getting ready areas - the Speakeasy and Distiller’s Table. Suzanne and the crew were great to work with and took care of every detail. It was a perfect day with no stress and lots of fun. The food and drinks were delicious! Two weeks later and our guests are still raving about the beautiful venue and impeccable service.
Excellent venue with a communicative and friendly staff to help create your perfect event!
We hosted our rehearsal dinner in their main floor restaurant/distillery and rooftop spaces. Start to finish, Suzanne and Hannah were very helpful, communicative and friendly. We had a small hiccup and they went above and beyond to find creative solutions to make the event work perfectly - the night exceeded expectations! The food and drinks were delicious. Plus you can’t beat that rooftop view… Highly recommend!
