Eris Brewery & Cider House

our wedding plans once the pandemic hit. After a small backyard wedding the previous year, we were excited to plan a day when our families could come together to meet one another and celebrate our marriage and baby on the way. Wanting to do something in our neighborhood, we reached out to Eris and were put in contact with Shanna Karamaniolas. She could not have been more helpful and was always available to answer questions and address our every need! Not only did she provide us with a multitude of options regarding ways we could accommodate a large group of family and friends, she helped us narrow in on delicious menu items she knew our guests would enjoy. We were able to rent out the entire space for a celebratory brunch which included a happy hour outside on their beautiful patio. We had early and easy access to the venue in order to decorate as we wished. They set up the physical space in a way that allowed our guests to feel safe in light of COVID-19 and allowed us to play the music we had selected, even going so far as to letting us use their microphone and sound system for toasts and speeches from family members. To this day, our family raves about the architecture of the space, the beautiful weather that day and the delicious food and drinks! If we had to plan our event again, we wouldn’t change a thing and look forward to making memories at Eris in the future!

that had availability. Enter - Eris! We had dined at Eris several times and were BLOWN AWAY with the food and the space. When we found out they also did events, we jumped at the opportunity! The Eris team was so excited about our wedding and was very accommodating throughout the entire process. They let us use all of our originally booked vendors (band/photographer/dessert/florist) and seamlessly integrated with them! Food: I WILL RAVE ABOUT THE FOOD FOREVER!!! My husband is from Kansas City and loves his BBQ. We were able to have Eris' incredible smoked brisket, and they let us bring in a spread of KC BBQ sauces! We requested a donut dessert bar with their life changing donuts and mascarpone. Their menus are also very vegan friendly - in fact, the vegan burritos were the FIRST thing to go from our buffet! We wanted people to love the food at our wedding, and it was by far one of the most memorable parts!! Drinks: Amazing! After our ceremony, the team at Eris did passed cider... which was absolutely perfect for cocktail hour in the summer heat. Shanna also went above and beyond to create a custom drink menu for us and printed it the day of with our personalized drinks! At the end of the event, they bottled growlers for our guests to take home as favors. Space: Eris is grand, moody, and beautiful. We were able to utilize the full space and got married on the patio underneath the pergola with fairy lights. For the reception, the full wedding party & family sat on the Brewdeck, with our guests split between the main floor and the Mezzannine. It was airy, and beautiful! With it being so beautiful already, it certainly helped our decoration/floral costs - we just focused on greenery and light florals. I will admit that I was a little apprehensive going with a venue that wasn't as 'established' for weddings. I was also planning my own wedding, so there were definitely some times where I had no idea what to do next in the process. But I had no reason to worry! Shanna & her team worked tirelessly with me to figure things out and make sure the day was executed correctly. The extra touches that Shanna & her team put together the day of really spoke to their commitment to making the day special. Thank you for the best day ever!

was easy to work with. I highly recommend Eris!

about the food - lots of delicious choices (GF, vegetarian, etc.).

! We couldn't have picked a better place for our reception and the growlers of cider as gifts to the guests were a great touch.

f everything and made our day super simple. Not only that, but when it looked like we wouldn't hit the minimum they came up with great ideas for us to get the most bang for our buck. Because the staff was so thoughtful, our guests got to take home growlers of their beer and cider. I really can not say enough about just how amazing their staff, venue, and food were.

ff without a hitch in September. Our wedding ceremony was outside on the patio before cocktails, dinner and dancing inside. The space is amazing and truly the main reason we chose the Brewery. We were able to sit our entire wedding party on the upper level, overlooking our guests seated in the booths below and more guests in the upper mezzanine. The food was phenomenal. The drink choices were amazing. The exposed brick and beautiful interior and exterior made our pictures one of the best parts of the experience. We were even able to hire a desert ice cream truck that parked in the parking lot for a special treat for our guests. Guests also were able to sit outside after the ceremony and mingle inside giving the venue that indoor-outdoor vibe you may be looking for in the warmer months. We hired an outside DJ who had no trouble working with Shanna and the events team on his PA system and connecting to Eris' system. Our outside photographers had no problem being accommodated by staff. We used Eris for late night food but also brought in some of our own desserts. We couldn't have been happier with what Eris did for us. Their team was top notch. We crafted a menu and drink package that we were proud of and displayed all the talents of the food and beverage department at Eris. We were happy to be one of the early guinea pigs to hosting wedding at the venue and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Both my wife and I, as members of the neighborhood, can't wait to see how Eris explodes from here because there's even more potential at the venue than what we were able to accomplish for our wedding. And it'll be a fun sight to see in the future. It was magic.
