The staff at Combustion Private Event Space made our wedding reception stress-free. Everything ran smoothly with their assistance because of their kindness and excellent communication. The space is beautiful and the beer made in their brewery downstairs was delicious and a big hit with our guests. We had 103 people attend our wedding and we all fit comfortably with plenty of room for dancing and socializing.

We had a wonderful experience holding our wedding at Combustion Brewery’s Private Event Space.
The staff was friendly, professional and very accommodating. I was offered as much/or as little help as I wanted in planning my big day. The facility is well maintained and has ample parking available. I received many compliments from guests on the beer!

We couldn't have picked a better place to get married! First of all it's STUNNING! And it's in the perfect location. The staff is so friendly and accommodating! My wife and I felt nervous picking a venue as a lesbian couple but combustion made us feel so comfortable and safe!! Our day went so smoothly and perfect. They are so flexible so all of visions came together for our big day! BIG shoutout to their amazing coordinators Ben and Christine! We loved getting to work with them. They will be your biggest supporter on your special day💞

Everyone at the venue was so nice, so easy, and so accommodating to work with! The venue itself was GORGEOUS, we didn’t have to decorate it much at all! Ben and Christine were absolutely the most helpful leading up to our day and on the day of. Everything literally went as smoothly as it could’ve gone and the day was perfect!

Can’t recommend this venue enough. Ben and Christine made the entire process of planning and the wedding day stress free from start to finish. We got so many complements on what a great space it was and it felt like the perfect size for our guest count of 80. We also highly recommend the berwick when picking from their preferred vendors!

Everyone at Combustion was absolutely wonderful to work with. I was planning a wedding from a different state and they were very communicative every step of the way. They were also very accommodating and would meet with me when I was planning on already being in town. I cannot stress enough how wonderful Ben and Christine were to work with. They communicated with all the vendors and everything went so smoothly. They were so kind and knowledgeable. Day of I was nervous and Christine made me feel at ease immediately. I cannot recommend them enough, they made our day so magical and perfect. If it was possible to give them 10 stars I would!

We cannot say enough great things about Combustion. The space worked great for our wedding and was able to accommodate every part of our day from getting ready to taking photos to the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was the perfect venue for being a bit unique and incorporating our love for beer, while still having all of the necessary accommodations. Most importantly, the staff is amazing! Ben, Christine and Nick made everything seamless both leading up to the day and throughout the day of the wedding. They were flexible and did everything in their power to make our day perfect, smooth, and stress-free. They were organized and ensured we had everything ready for the day of, while remaining calm and flexible for anything that arose last minute. Cannot recommend them enough!!

Our wedding was perfect all due to deciding to have it at this venue. Not only is the venue beautiful and accommodated our guest perfectly, but Ben and Christine made this process so easy for us. Everything leading up to the day was taken care of and then the day of we did not have to worry about a thing because of them. All in all it was perfect day and we are so happy we chose to have it at Combustion Brewing.

We booked Combustion Brewery Private Event Space for our wedding the same day we toured the space. It was truly the venue of our dreams! Ben and Christine (Event Manager and Coordinator) are the absolute definition of a dynamic duo. They were calming, reassuring, and thorough every step of the way. The market their events as stress free and they do not take that promise lightly! We had several meetings with them over the year + of planning as well as numerous email check-ins. Best of all, they both work the day of your event as well. Because of this, we had the absolute smoothest, most organized, and most incredible wedding day! From the night before at the rehearsal, to the day of, not a single stone was left unturned. Christine was truly the coordinator I didn’t know I needed - and I am eternally grateful for her. We got to pick from all of their in season beers made right there at the brewery to build our bar package. All night long at our wedding guests were telling us how amazing the drinks were and that it was the best wedding they had ever been to - and we agree of course!! If we could do it all again, we would absolutely pick Combustion every single time. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us leading up to - and on our wedding day! Book with them ASAP (or at the very least, go check out the brewery!) you will not regret it!

I wish I could give the review more than 5 stars. Ben Hufford, Christine Nadalin, and the entire Combustion team made our wedding dreams come true. From start to end, they made everything run smoothly and ensured every detail was in place. The venue itself is stunning and unique — the perfect background for our special day. Our guests raved about the beautiful location and delicious beer. If you’re thinking about having your event here, do it! We cannot recommend Combustion highly enough.

5 stars all the way! I just had my wedding at Combustion’s Private Event Space on 9/2 and was absolutely blown away. From day 1 the communication from Ben and Christine was flawless. They made every single step of this process so easy. We had a wedding of roughly 130 people. They both made it so I would not have to stress about a thing. Christine was on top of communicating directly with my vendors and making sure everybody was on the same page. She showed up early day off to ensure everyone did their part, and was where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there. Ben and Christine were both there the night before with us helping set up as well. They made the process stress free and easy. Absolutely loved getting to know and work with them. Every single person that came to my wedding came up to me and said how much fun they had, and how much they love the venue.
10/10 recommend them to anyone looking to get married. Fair prices, easy to work with, great location, awesome spot for pictures,
Etc.
We had been to 5 other places prior- and these guys were life savers. Cannot recommend them enough.

We just had our wedding at Combustion end of May and we were so impressed. The entire process was amazing, Ben & Chirstine were so amazing. They explained everything so flawlessly, were very available, answered all of the my questions and stayed through our event the whole time! Amazing experience for a day I'll always rememeber!

My fiancé and I went to Combustion in February of 2021 and we knew as soon as we visited that it was a very special place. Ben was completely transparent about everything and provided us with so many ideas on how to make our day amazing. Once our wedding was approaching, Ben and the day of coordinator Christine were absolutely incredible! We just got married yesterday and they were nothing bud helpful and made it very clear that they were going to do everything in their power to make our day amazing. They made sure that my husband and I had the most incredible night and not have to worry about anything going on. We could not recommend a more amazing venue and if you are a beer loving couple, then Combustion is a dream venue!

My husband and I got married at Combustion last month and I can not say enough wonderful things about this venue and team! When we got engaged in 2021 we knew immediately this was our top choice. After meeting Ben we booked Combustion right away! He made me feel extremely comfortable right away and I could tell that he knew what he was doing. The entire planning process was smooth and Ben answered all of my questions in a timely manner as well as allowed me to come back to see the space as a refresher when we got closer to our date. As we got closer I was also in contact with Christine (day of coordinator). I felt just as much at ease with her! She took the time to help with my day of timeline and coordinating with my vendors, etc. She made sure that my wedding day ran smooth and there was no stress. I could go on and on about how wonderful the team is and how beautiful this space is! Please do yourself a favor book this venue. I would choose Combustion over and over!!!

Do yourself a favor and book this venue right away!! The moment my husband and I saw the space we fell in love with it. Ben and Christine were absolutely amazing. They were so friendly and organized, not to mention fantastic communicators any time we had any questions. We had both our ceremony and reception in the party room. Everything went smoothly and easily. Christine helped us a lot on the day-of, and my bridesmaids and I are so thankful for all she did! As the bride, I didn't have to worry about a thing the day-of except for getting ready. Our wedding day was completely perfect and we owe a lot of that to Christine, Ben, and all of the hardworking folks at Combustion. The guests loved the space and highly complemented the bar service. I cannot recommend this venue enough!

The staff at Combustion was helpful and professional from start to finish. The booking process was simple. The space looked perfect, our event coordinator made sure all the details were taken care of, and the bartenders made sure our guests had a blast. Ben even helped us find the DJ and catering. We loved it!

We absolutely loved Combustion Brewery and the people! It truly made our day special to have our wedding there. I don’t think we could have asked for a better experience.
We are a gay couple that honestly had a little bit of nerves when looking at potential venues. We began look long for places in the fall of the 2019. We randomly saw this place in an online search and really loved the aesthetic. From the moment we first walked in the venue for the first time, we knew almost immediately this is where we wanted to have our wedding.
Ben was one of the friendliest people we had met during our search. My husband Chris and I both felt welcomed . We pretty quickly picked out our date for August 2020. Ben and his team really worked with us as a gay couple really well, with the normal gender roles in a wedding being shifted. He asked all the right questions and in a way that never felt awkward. I was very impressed with this interaction.
Our wedding was scheduled during COVID, so there was constant changes coming from the various mandates. Luckily we were able to have a ceremony on the date we wanted, but we had to downsize from 100 people to 30. One of the greatest things was since our wedding wasn’t going to be what we initially imagined (at no fault of Combustion Brewery), we were offered a “sequel wedding” in August of 2021. Essentially we had our small 30 guest ceremony in August 2020 and our reception with the original guest list of 100 people in August of 2021. This accommodation worked out great Combustion and Ben definitely made a not ideal situation into something wonderful.
I really can’t say enough great things about this place. It’s a beautiful venue with very kind people who run it. The whole team worked hard to make sure we had the perfect day. The planner that works with Combustion is great as well. The railroad tracks by the brewery also made a really great back drop for wedding pictures.
We like to stop by now to just have a beer in the tap room downstairs. It will forever be a special place to us and the ability to be able to continue to visit Combustion and reflect on our day just brings us joy. This is a great place to have your wedding and if it is the aesthetic you’re looking for, you should definitely consider coming here.

When I saw pictures of the event space at Combustion, I was in love. When we saw it in person, I knew immediately that it was where we were going to get married — it was the first and only venue we visited! The space is such a great mix of vintage, rustic, and industrial, and the string lights give it that hint of romance that makes it perfect to celebrate marriage. Ben and Christine are amazing and did everything they could to bring our wedding to life. They were very flexible and understanding when we decided to change our plans and have a very small ceremony due to worries about covid. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day, and they are directly responsible for that. I’m looking forward to working with them again next year when we have our reception/anniversary party!

My wife and I absolutely loved having our wedding at Combustion!! The loft is beautiful and this was one of the few places we found that had two legitimate dressing rooms. Ben and Christine were wonderful to work with throughout the process - especially when we had to postpone our original 2020 wedding date. They made sure everything was taken care of and that we felt totally at ease and stress-free on the day of our wedding! We had the best wedding ever and we're so grateful we decided to have it here.

Ben + Christine went above and beyond to ensure our wedding at Combustion Brewery was everything we envisioned (and so much more!). From offering suggestions, to physically helping set up/take down -- to Christine helping "guard" the bride, keeping away unwanted distractions, our special day at Combustion could not have been more perfect! The venue is visually stunning and unique, with Edison-style lights strung across the ceiling, and gorgeous natural lighting from the windows. The bride and groom dressing rooms were perfectly arranged, with more than enough space and seating for the wedding party to comfortably get ready. Ben + Christine were so easy to communicate with, and so willing to go out of their way to make sure this was a wonderful experience for us. 10/10 would recommend Combustion Brewery & Taproom to anyone searching for a beautiful venue, with professional/customer service-oriented staff. The value is unbeatable. We can't praise Combustion Brewery (Ben + Christine) highly enough!! Book with them -- you'll be so happy you did.

THE perfect spot! Combustion is a great location, ample parking, helpful and tentative staff, and great selection of beer. Ben made our wedding day perfect. Ben accommodated us with set up, getting ready, music, tables, food, and was our bartender! We can't thank him enough and all of Combustion for making our wedding day perfect and seamless.

Absolutely PERFECT!! My husband and I got married at Combustion September 2018 and Ben and the wedding planner were amazing to work with. They made sure that everything we envisioned was executed to a T! They were great to work with and I have recommended Combustion to every couple I know looking for a unique wedding venue.
The venue is great! Tons of space, a private (and well decorated) room to get ready in, romantic lighting, and AMAZING beer!! We were able to cater in whatever food and bring in our own DJ that we wanted and Ben and his team brilliantly executed the change of layout during our cocktail hour. We were able to get some awesome photos inside the brewery and also outside on the railroad tracks. The price was great and I wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else!!

My husband and I were married at Combustion almost 1 year ago, and our entire experience with them was incredible. Everyone was kind and professional from the moment we started. Ben, the Special Events Manager, and Sarah, the Event Coordinator and Owner, were awesome to work with! Ben helped us chose a caterer and even helped us set up a food tasting and beer pairing at Combustion on a day they were normally closed! They took care of setting up the space for our the ceremony and were able to quickly rearrange the space for our reception. They also provided all of the linens we needed with a wide color variety to select from. All of the bartenders who served us during the reception were professional, kind, and provided fast service. They also took care of all of the cleanup and tear down at the end of the night! We jut had to make sure all of our own stuff was out of there. We truly could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding and reception. An incredible space, staff, and beer! What else could you ask for?

We got married at Combustion this past weekend and the only thing I can say is WOW! We were looking for a little different venue with character and boy did Combustion deliver. We love craft beer so it was right up our alley, but even if we didn't the venue would be worth looking into. Not only were we able to do everything that we wanted in one space, Sarah and Ben helped us to customize our day "to a T": everything from signature drinks and our chosen beers on tap to special table set ups and decorations. They went above and beyond to help create our perfect day and supported us throughout the night by working directly with the other vendors. What a team.
Thank you Sarah, Ben, and all of the Combustion staff for the best day of our lives!
