DESTIHL Brewery

nd even booked my DJ for me! They could have booked my photographer for me too, but I decided to use a photographer I work with.

e venue is beautiful and willing to work with us on everything we asked. They truly did a wonderful job making our day special!

e had all the information we needed to make our day perfect. The day of staff were all great and super attentive, making sure our guests had food, everything stayed clean, etc. They also made sure we (my husband and I) always had full drinks and enough to eat. Ally, who was there the day of, was awesome leading up to the wedding in terms of working with us and our vendors. She as super knowledgeable and no doubt one of the reasons everything went so smoothly. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous- the outside ceremony space is perfect and the inside is beautiful. It gave us the intimate and cozy vibe we were hoping for. We had about 70 people total, including guests and vendors, and there was plenty of space for more if you choose. The online portal made communication and payments easy. The food was incredible (HIGHLY recommend the mac & cheese) and we got so many compliments from guests about how good it was- our friends are still talking about it! We 100% recommend this venue and cannot express how thankful we are for the excellent services they provided to make our day so special!

eam. The food and drinks at are reception were great. The venue space was impeccable. Would recommend this venue to all brides and grooms looking for a reasonably priced wedding/reception. Destihl went above and beyond our expectations and we had a beautiful reception.

LE, and the space was STUNNING! All of our guests have told us how beautiful our entire wedding day was, from the ceremony to the reception. We 10/10 recommend Destihl Brewery and Beer Hall - Barrel Room for your special day!!

are delicious. For planning and day of, the team was accessible and helpful. The staff kept everything running on time too throughout the night.

y could not have asked for a better experience.

ence feel, I highly recommend checking out Destihl Brewery. It's located only a few minute's drive from Uptown Normal & Downtown Bloomington PLUS the location itself provides ample opportunities for gorgeous outdoor photos. Inside, you'll find a beautifully warm and intimate setting with the reception room itself lined with authentic beer barrels. If you are looking for an awesome alternative to a hotel conference room, then I would definitely visit Destihl. Highly recommend! Ernst

se for our big day. We received so many compliments on the night of our wedding and in the days after on how delicious the food was and how beautiful the entire space was. We were in constant contact with Karen in the months leading up to the wedding and she always got back to us quickly with answers to our many questions. On top of the wonderful event managers, DESTIHL’s staff on the day-of was fantastic!

iments that it was the “best wedding dinner” they’d ever had. Drinks were of course a big hit and so delicious. The staff at our vow renewal and reception were outstanding. So attentive and friendly. If you’re considering having your event at Destihl, let this be the nudge to book! You will not be disappointed!

ul way. Plus all of the employees working the event gave spectacular service too! Super happy we chose Destihl as our venue!

th picture ops throughout the room. We were lucky enough to get a Saturday wedding date, but would do it all over again with Destihl/Amanda, even if there was only weekday availability. We looked at all venues in Bloomington-Normal and DESTIHL is superior to any other locations in the area.

The duel space provided our guests with a plethora of activities, including giant Jenga, and outdoor bar, and more! Every single one of our guests have RAVED about our wedding, and we couldn’t agree more! From the thorough communication and planning with the staff, to customizable wedding cocktails, this venue is sure to make your special day absolutely perfect. It sure did for us!!

ny question we had.

cessary decor was minimal. The space is already gorgeous! To add to the beauty that is the Barrel Room we had our florist lay greenery down the tables, our bridesmaids set their bouquets around the room in pre-set vases, and our DJ added white uplighting between the barrels on the wall to make the barrels pop. It was beyond perfect. We also used the newly added outdoor patio space (which is also a space for the ceremony, but we had our ceremony elsewhere). Included outside was the cutest converted bus that was able to serve cold drafts. Our guests flocked to this area for cocktail hour and continued to enjoy it as the sun went down. When it came to our menu, we chose a buffet style as we had almost the full capacity of guests (175). We included the dijon chicken and the braised short rib as our main entrees. Our guests could not stop raving about their meals and went up for seconds, and thirds. Most shared it was the best wedding meal they have ever had. Throughout the planning process and the actual weekend of our wedding, Amanda and Karen, event coordinators at Destihl, were super helpful and attentive. We are grateful for their assistance in making our wedding reception the best night of our lives!

a better place to celebrate our daughter and her husband marriage!! Karen and Amanda were exceptional!! We can't say enough.

d and drinks, and the wonderful staff. I highly recommend Destihl brewery to anyone looking to plan a wedding. Amanda and Karen will take great care to make sure that your wedding day is everything you want it to be!

e're still getting messages about having the "best wedding we've ever been to" from our friends. A huge thank you to Destihl for making it all possible.

da and Karen are the sweetest humans, and were so encouraging and supportive throughout. Super responsive and helpful. They have so many resources and vendors they already work with that they could point me towards to make our day amazing! The venue is gorgeous in itself which made choosing my decor easy. Everything comes included so we didn't have to sweat the small things. The food was amazing, so many options to choose from! The entire team on the day was stellar! So kind and helpful the entire day! They were all so on point, it was like they all do this every day in their sleep. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make our day so incredible. 100000/10 recommend Destihl and their team for your wedding, or any event for that matter!

ng and room make any event feel cozier and more charming. With the barrels on the walls, the large windows looking out over the pond, the Edison bulb, we did not have to overly decorate the room to give it that festive charm. The staff worked together to get the food out quickly, and were very helpful in handling our guests specific dietary restrictions and questions or requests. They were attentive and if they didn't have an answer for me or my guest, they made sure to find out. All of my guests RAVED about the food, which is not something I have even heard of in the five weddings I have coordinated. Everything tasted delicious from the appetizers to the salad to the dinner. I've never had anyone come up and tell me that the green beans were, 'so good I could have eaten a whole tray!' Even the vegetarian meal was amazing! Normally it is something that isn't usually done with a lot of heart, but the pasta dish they served tasted amazing as well! We served the stuffed peppadew peppers, chimichurri hummus, meat balls, and pretzels with cheese as apps, and bacon wrapped meatloaf, turkey, loaded mashed potatoes, and green beans for entrees. The vegetarian pasta was a tomatoe and pesto sauce over raviolis of herbed cheese (which OMG, I had a bite and I would have eaten a whole plate of it!) Karen and Amanda were great to work with through the whole process. They answered any of my questions, gave me a list to check off, helped create a timeframe for the evening, and helped me pick beers that matched what we liked. Ten out of ten would host my wedding here. I'm so glad we picked Destihl. It truly made for a great wedding with many fun memories.

venue is beautiful and the staff was great all night long. They even accommodated us with our last minute ceremony change off site due to personal, sensitive reasons without hassle, just complete understanding. The event manager, Karen, made everything run as smooth as possible and allowed my husband and I to enjoy our wedding day to the fullest!

t worked perfect for our wedding ceremony and reception. It fit our 120 guests with plenty of space for everyone to move around comfortably. Karen and Amanda were amazing to work with! They were always available to answer our many questions and responded quickly. All of our guests commented on how incredible the staff was. It was truly an amazing experience for us and we could not recommend them enough. Many thanks to DESTIHL!

nd was always quick in response when I had a question- trust me I had plenty! The barrel room is absolutely stunning and we received so many compliments about how beautiful our wedding was. I would HIGHLY recommend having your wedding or any event at Destihl!

else. We loved the food and desserts and they were a big hit with our guests. The servers and bartenders were professional and pleasant, as well as the Events Coordination team who executed the transition between events in our wedding timeline flawlessly. Highly recommend!!

-depth, and they kept in constant communication. They absolutely won me over when we had to reschedule our day because of COVID and they made sure we knew every option possible and made rescheduling a simple/painless task. On the day of, Karen made sure that my day ran smoothly and there were no issues. The barrel room is a stunning location, the food was delicious, and the beer selection was great.

rted working with her. No request of ours seemed to outrageous and she made sure everything we asked for came true. Their help with decor rounded out our vision and their food was phenomenal! If you are looking for a classy, fun, and beautiful environment to get married at, Destihl Brewery is the place! The people, food, and especially the beer are great! We would recommend them any day!!

w last minute they were. The entire day was super smooth and Karen was on the scene attending to any needs and did so promptly and professionally! The food was AMAZING and the talk of the night! I very highly recommend the barrel room to any bride still looking for a venue! Not only is the actual venue gorgeous, but the staff is great as well.

so very great about keeping us informed about all the Covid-19 guidelines. Unfortunately during the wedding planning stage, Destihl doesn’t offer food taste testing. If we wanted to try any food before selecting our menu, we were required to go to the restaurant and order/ pay for the food on our own time. Hopefully they change that in the future since couples are paying a lot of money to have their wedding there. Overall, I loved having my wedding reception there and would do it again!

or the size of the room. We also felt it was a very reasonable price for all that we got. I would definitely recommend booking with Destihl.

wedding, she was always there to provide support. The entire staff the night of was so sweet and great to work with. They provided excellent service while also following healthy protocols to keep guests safe and healthy. I cannot recommend Destihl enough for any event or wedding.

we had so much fun. Our reception was in the barrel room, which is beautiful and full of character on its own. We appreciated that the food options were very similar to Destihl's restaurant/brewery menus and made with the same care and attention to detail. As craft beer lovers, we were really excited to have a large selection of Destihl’s own beer for guests, but also wine and spirit options as well. We received compliments all night about how unique and delicious the food and drinks were. By far my favorite part of our wedding at Destihl was the staff. They approached our wedding with so much professionalism and hospitality. Amanda, the event manager, was organized and on top of everything. She was incredibly responsive and even reached out at certain time points to check-in and make sure all my questions were answered. Destihl uses an online portal to track everything, which was extremely helpful during planning with all the wedding logistics and vendors. Everyone was so attentive and helpful, which made for a great experience. I feel very lucky to have had our wedding here.
