Deep Eddy Vodka Tasting Room

I had my rehearsal dinner here, and it really exceeded all of my expectations. Working with Tracy was an outstanding experience. She was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. Our guests loved everything... the venue, the drinks, it was all amazing. The bartenders were fantastic, and the manager on duty (Jason) was amazing. He even offered to take us on a tour of the facility, which basically our entire party of 55 people participated in, and everyone thought it was fantastic. Our rental time ended at 10, but our guests were having a great time and were definitely in no hurry to leave, even though I was trying to hustle everyone out the door! But the staff was very nice and accommodating, and did their best to clean up around the people that were still lingering. This was an amazing start to our wedding weekend, and I can't recommend this venue enough!!

I hate planning dinner, much less an event for 100 people. But this venue and their amazing staff were SO gracious and helpful. We were able to decorate some the day before, as long as it didn't interfere with their customers coming in that day and the day of the wedding. As my parents and I struggled to hang some decor, the staff lept in and helped, with a smile! We decided to have our ceremony and reception in the same main room. The Deep Eddy staff set up the ceremony and remaining decor we provided (they provided chairs), and it was perfect. They even added in a few of their own touches, which felt like something we would have chosen! After the ceremony, while the cocktail hour took place in the distillery (very cool), the staff flipped the room and set up the tables (also provided), same chairs, rented linens and delivered flowers, and additional decor in a beautiful and timely fashion. During this time, our guests were treated to a cocktail hour and hors d'oeuvres (catered by the delicious and wonderful Pink Avocado Catering) in the distillery due to poor weather outside, which ended up being more fun for our guests in the long run! The staff was helpful and warm throughout the entire process, headed by the wonderful Tracy Beachum, the sleeper-hit of the venue, but more on her later. There are a few things to know about this venue and planning a wedding. You'll need to schedule your wedding for approximately 6:30, as the venue closes to the public at 5:00. Also, they really want folks out around 10 - 10:30, so take note of that. They have great audio for music, but you'll need to rent a microphone and speakers (go to Rock N Roll Rentals, under $40 for both). They provide great round tables and chairs (and very cool additional side tables), though they are not in the current (Nov 2015) pictures on the internet, they are great, but look very different. If you want to serve anything other than their vodkas, you'll need to hire your own bartenders, but bonus, you can provide your own beer/wine/liquor, and Spec's takes returns as long as the labels are not water damaged. Be prepared for EVERYONE to get the vodka drinks though, they are delicious! The hidden conference room is PERFECT for a buffet dinner. The venue offers a catering kitchen, which my caterer was thrilled about. Although I'm not sure this will always be an option, but because we rented linens from Whim Event Rentals in Dripping Springs, the pick up and return of the linens was done by Tracy, the day-of coordinator/event coordinator, so that was super helpful as we live a good 40-60 minutes away. There are only TWO negatives about this venue, none of which is on the venue: TRANSPORTATION and ACCOMMODATIONS. Not the venues' fault, but something to note. Now back to the coordinator, Tracy Beachum. She does not advertise herself well enough! She is a great coordinator! When we did the walk through she went over the checklist of things SHE was going to take care of and I just lost it, literally sat down and cried. I felt the weight lift off my shoulders, and embarrassingly, cried tears of relief. If you can release yourself of the overwhelming urge to micromanage and let her do her thing, it can be a glorious gift! Just don't forget (like I did) to provide the order of the processional (whoops!). She is a HUGE reason I strongly recommend considering this as a wedding venue, and her staff is an accurate reflection of her, helpful, outgoing, and kind.

We had our wedding reception here, and it was beautiful! Tracy and her team went above and beyond, and I felt so taken care of. They were accommodating and organized a large portion of the day! the venue is stunning.
