We chose our venue without knowing it several years ago. On the way to adopt our German shepherd puppy, we stopped here for a quick old fashion at the bar. We sat there and decided on the name “Rye” for him, and before leaving, said “we could totally get married here”. Fast forward a few years and upon getting engaged we quickly decided it was the perfect place. We could have been more grateful to have such a well rounded team to help bring all of our visions together. They helped us make our day exactly what we wanted, accommodated so well for a sober bride, provided amazing dishes (all appetizers are soooooo good, the meatballs included), and helped us build the most perfect day. Warren hall is so perfect for the vibe we were looking for. The grounds have a lot of opportunities for perfect pictures. Couldn’t have asked for a better day with the best people

Thank you for your kind words about our team, the food, and Warren Hall; it means so much ...
to us. We're honored to have been part of you and Claire's special day. It was truly a joy to help bring your vision to life.
Wishing you, Claire, and Rye a lifetime of happiness and love!
We hope to see you in our dining room soon!

My husband and I just had our September 2024 wedding there and everything was amazing!! From the venue itself, the staff, the food, the drinks, etc. The staff was great to work with (specifically Kaley!) whenever I had questions. My guests have not stopped raving about how unique the venue was. I would definitely recommend this venue to any future brides out there!

We had our wedding at the Journeyman in Three Oaks in 2021. We had a few bumps along the way with their event planning team but nothing to get too upset about. However, during the reception (dancing portion) of our wedding, my uncle ended up having a heart attack on the dance floor. Thankfully, we had several medical professionals that were able to resuscitate him. HOWEVER, Journeyman did not have an AED which I'm quite sure they legally have to have. My uncle could have died that night due to their negligence. The venue didn't really seem to do anything after the fact to make things right. They never even reached out to say sorry, which I think is terrible considering we spent a lot of money to have our wedding there. Or to even ask how he was doing. I wouldn't recommend this venue solely on the safety of your guests. I think they could have made the situation better by assuring us they had the equipment for an emergency moving forward and to sincerely apologize for putting our guest at risk. At the end of the day, it didn't seem like they really took it seriously or cared.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous! And not just cuz I’m biased but it was the best wedding food I’ve ever had! Our day was absolutely magical and I wish I could relive it again. The food and bar staff on our wedding day were 10/10 outstanding! They were all quick working and super friendly.
My husband and I felt the event planner and communication aspect could have been better. We were tossed around to different event planners initially and finally had one “assigned” to us, Corrine, who was rather difficult to communicate with. Sometimes emails went unanswered for weeks and we didn’t have a direct phone number to reach her. There were things that went unannounced like, filet mignon was an extra $5/plate but that’s not in the brochure or mentioned until we get our food counts back. Also, we were never told about a kids menu so we assumed kids eat a smaller portion of the main entrees. Again, after we got our food selections from our guests we were told about this kids menu and had to let our guests know of the change. Overall, we felt ignored and like a burden rather than a welcomed guest. It’s the first time my husband and I experienced planning a wedding and were looking for more guidance from the Corrine but we mostly navigated the entire process ourself. I asked several times to meet in person or at least via zoom so we could meet face-to-face, which never happened. I never even met her until our reception around 9pm when she finally came to introduce herself to me. I found that odd on the day of our wedding, meeting the person that was supposed to help us during the months of planning before hand. Just not very personable. As a bride, you hope to have someone with knowledge and experience to handhold you through the entire process. She also told us we could set up the night before and while setting up, a woman working downstairs sternly walked up to me asking who we are and why we were there. Apparently the venue didn’t know we got permission to set up. I was told there would be people directing guests on the day of the wedding since our ceremony was downstairs but our reception was upstairs, with another wedding happening at the same time as ours. Before the ceremony I was hiding upstairs in our reception area and guests were coming in by me saying they didn’t know where to go and the sign downstairs pointed upstairs guiding them to our wedding. I had to ask my sister in law to go investigate this sign situation since we didn’t have our event planner around to assist. The other wedding that was supposed to happen the same day apparently canceled and we were not made aware of this or even offered the bridal suite to use. The other bride had claimed it before me but then wasn’t there anyway. These are just some highlights of our experience. I definitely recommend this venue for the beauty, amazing food, and the attentive food and bar service staff but be prepared to navigate this process alone and feel like a burden planning the most important day of your life.

The venue was absolutely beautiful and everything we imagined for our wedding day. The only complaints I have are the lack of communication from the venue, it did take awhile to hear back from Journeyman. On our wedding day there were also tours going on where event planners from Journeyman allowed other guests to come into the bridal suite (that I paid for) while all the girls were getting dressed. This was not ideal and I felt uncomfortable knowing other guests were walking around the venues that I paid for, for the day. If I were to do it all over again, I would still choose Journeyman because the venue and the location offered everything we wanted for photography purposes and fit our ideal wedding day theme.

I had the pleasure of having my wedding in warren hall. It was so beautiful and the staff was amazing! The staff made the night run so smoothly. The food was delicious and got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how good the food was. The only thing is the communication during the wedding process could be improved upon. There would be times where I would not hear back from them until 4 weeks later after SEVERAL emails. This even was happening the week before my wedding. But other than that it was amazing!

Journeyman Distillery is honestly one of the coolest, most unique places around!! My husband Mark and I just had our wedding here a few weekends ago and we have nothing but the BEST things to say about Journeyman! They were extremely helpful throughout the whole process and very accommodating to every idea we had! The owner, Johanna, is just so sweet and so helpful with any questions we had! She was so personable and she really made sure everything we wanted for the big day was taken care of! We cannnnnot thank Johanna and her team enough for how AMAZING they made our wedding!! (: We HIGHLY suggest hosting a wedding here, or any event for that matter! We also had our rehearsal dinner here in the Still Room the Thursday before our wedding. And again, everything was PERFECT! The staff, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere; you can't beat Journeyman! BIG shout out to our leads the night of our wedding, Rick, and his wife!! They were absolutely AMAZING! We had soo many guests compliment their service, and we couldn't agree more! They were SO attentive and SO helpful! We were just beyond grateful when we saw that Rick was a lead for our big day!! The whole staff are just truly incredible and the venue is just mind-blowingly beautiful! Wish we could give more than 5 stars!!

Johanna and her team exceeded our expectations! First, the venue is gorgeous, the food was amazing, the drinks stellar, the staff was fantastic (shout out to Jason our bar tender) and Johanna was so gracious answering my million questions throughout the year. We did have a hiccup with the bridal suite being double booked the day of the wedding (things happen) but Johanna made it right, immediately, by offering the farmhouse for my girls and I to get ready in, and refunding the bridal suite fee. The farmhouse ended up being perfect for my girls and I to get ready in. I 100% appreciate Johanna and how hard her team worked to make our wedding day special. I would 100% recommend Journeyman. Also special thanks for hanging out with my dad while he waited for me to get there. We look forward to may more drinks and dinners in the future at Journeyman - Denise and Josh Lowmaster

I cannot say enough about Journeyman Distillery venue and their wedding team. The venue was wonderful to work with and the staff made sure that our day was flawless. From touring Warren Hall and setting our date to finalizing our timeline and then seeing it all come to life was a dream come true. Not a detail was missed and the team made truly made it a day we never forget. We also highly suggest choosing a Journeyman preferred vendor. Especially Blackbird and Rye Photography, Jelliefish Productions, Sugarfield Flowers, Something Blue Stylist, and Black Currant House Bakery. Hands down the the PERFECT team and BEST day of our lives!

We had our October wedding here and WOW this place was more than my dreams could of imagined. Our wedding photographer recommended this place to us 2 years ago and upon touring we immediately fell in love. It has a very rustic, romantic vibe. The food was great the staff was helpful and we had an amazing night. We have gotten so many compliments about how fun and beautiful our wedding was. Thanks again to Deborah Johnson Photography for recommending this place to us, we can’t thank her enough for telling us of this incredible venue!

We had the wedding of our dreams at Journeyman. We held our ceremony at the Silo outside and reception in the Grainery room for around 110 guests. We also added the Bridal Suite on which was definitely worth the added cost for a private, quiet space. The spaces created a perfect atmosphere for our wedding. The crew we worked with were all very professional and helpful in making sure our day went smoothly. From initial inquiries with Lindsay to working with the owner (Johanna) to our eventual coordinator (Laura) we could not have asked for a better venue team. The dinner options were all delicious and our guests raved about how tasty it all was. The drinks were phenomenal (and all their own liquors...) and the bartenders made sure our guests had a good time. We'd recommend this venue to anyone and are so glad that we will be able to go back when we're in the area!

o We had our wedding at Journeyman this summer; ceremony at the Silo and reception in the Still room for 80 guests. It was the perfect venue for us, and the day went off without a hitch. The Still room is the smallest of their venues, but to us it was the only choice being so close to the patio and putting green. Our guests had plenty to do inside and out and loved being able to put on the greens while taking a break from dancing. The food was delicious (chicken, pork osso bucco & salmon)– way above our expectations! We even got to include our beloved dog in our ceremony outdoors at the Silo and are thankful Journeyman allowed him to be a part of our day as well. Thanks Joanne and team for a great day!

The venue was exactly what we hoped for for our wedding venue! We were told the food was the best wedding food our guests had tried. We loved that people could go out to the putting greens and also experience the distillers bar. We didn’t hire a day of wedding coordinator and didn’t need to between this all inclusive location and a good DJ. They were accommodating of our cigar bar request and change in welcome drinks and late night snacks. Thank you, Journeyman!

My wife and I recently got married at Journeyman Distillery, and we could not be happier with our decision to have the wedding there! We originally visited Journeyman to try their spirits, eat a meal, and play on the massive putting green. Numerous hours (and drinks) later, we knew Journeyman would be a consistent stop when visiting Michigan. Fast forward a few months and we were engaged and decided we wanted our family and friends to experience this “hidden” gem in SW Michigan!
The wedding planning process couldn’t have been easier. Rachael and Jasmine guided us through the process with professionalism, patience, and a can-do attitude. They made sure everything was in order well in advance of our big day and worked together with us throughout the planning. The day of the wedding couldn’t have gone smoother. Jasmine was on top of everything before, during, and after the wedding. Rick and the Journeyman staff could not have been friendlier and set the tone for a great evening of celebrating. The food and drinks got rave reviews from all in attendance. Our wedding of 100 was small for Warren Hall, but the ability to set up the room in different ways allowed for the space to still feel intimate while also allowing guests to spread out and be comfortable. The whole experience was top notch, and we couldn’t recommend more highly!

If I could give this venue and staff 10 stars I would. My husband and I had the pleasure of having our wedding last weekend at Journeyman Distillery and it was unforgettable. It's a beautiful historic and sentimental space, both indoors and outdoors. Not only is Journeyman's Warren Hall gorgeous, the staff is exceptional. The entire planning process, start to finish, was so wonderful. Jasmine handled every question, request and change thrown at her promptly, with a smile on her face and complete composure. She is extremely attentive, responsive, accommodating and she went above and beyond coordinating with my mom and I to oversee all the details. We only had 100 guests, which is quite small for the Warren Hall space, but she provided me with so many great, creative layout options so that our guests would feel part of our intimate ceremony and still have a beautiful flow into reception and celebrating. My husband and I didn't want the night to end. The food and cocktails were amazing, but what made our night so memorable was the service and attention to detail we and our guests received. Special thanks to Angel, who took every ounce/hint of stress off my mom and I day of the wedding. She set up our tables, double checked all the minor details and made me feel so at ease. She is literally a gift from heaven. I have to brag about Rick and his wife Kerry, they are so phenomenal. Kerry treated every single one of our guests with VIP service. Rick made sure we had a fresh cocktail in our hand at all times and that my husband and I ate our dinner while it was warm. He even arranged a plate for us with all of our petite desserts and wedding cake so that we had a chance to taste everything. The bartenders treated each of our guests with the utmost attention and respect, we are still receiving so many compliments from everyone. The whole experience was 10/10. Many thanks to Jasmine and the entire team for making our wedding day so wonderful. Johanna & Bill, thank you for making this such a special place that we can return to and visit for generations to come. ;)

THE BEST VENUE EVER. My husband and I had been together for 14 years before we finally decided to get hitched. We knew years ago where we wanted to get married because we had been drinking their bourbon for years. There was no place besides Journeyman to do it. We had our rehearsal dinner in the Still Room and our wedding in Warren Hall. We heard from dozens of guests that is was by far, the most amazing they had ever been to. From the venue, to the support staff, to the bar staff, BOH, chefs and everyone in-between, our wedding was 100% successful. They communicated with us so well through every step of the way and went above and beyond to help accommodate some unique requests (one of which was allowing us to reassemble the 8foot arbor we built for the wedding). Jasmine was such a treat to work with and she really helped us feel comfortable and confident in the day. She worked with our day of planner and the two of them made the entire day go off without any hitches. The steak was PHENOMENAL and was cooked to literal perfection (I'm a professional chef, so I can say that with confidence). Our head bartended Rick was the bees knees. He found out our favorite cocktail from down in the restaurant and made sure we had one at our seats when we came in to the reception. Paige from behind the bad was adorable and gave amazing customer service to all of our guests for both of our events. I do not think I could say a single negative thing about our experience leading up to the wedding or the actual wedding. I'm grateful to have had such a wonderful experience and encourage anyone who is looking for a fun, unique, jaw dropping venue, to look no further. Journeyman is the place to be.

If you are looking to get married in southwest Michigan, look no further! Journeyman is the most perfect wedding venue - rustic, yet glamorous. Warren Hall had the best floor plan and probably the largest dance floor you're going to find! Jasmine and her team were amazing! Our day was seamless and I would pick Journeyman over and over again. Such an amazing venue!

Great venue because of its size, amenities, modern rustic look, small town charm, and it is a beautiful location inside and out.
Journeyman was easy to work with since they do most of the leg work. They had great recommendations for busses, hotels, DJ's, etc. The in house catering was so good that it was hard to select our menu...good problems. The liquor is top notch, insuring the guests have the party of their lives.

Journeyman lended us everything we could have wanted in a wedding day. Beautiful venue and planners/a tream that treated us like family and went above and beyond to make our wedding day seemless. They were accommodating during the planning process and responsive despite having multiple postponed weddings to juggle. They worked with our planner well, the day went smoothly down to the minute, and numerous guests talked about how amazing the food was and the bar was out of this world. Nothing about our 2020 wedding went smoothly down to postponing to 2021 but Journeyman's team made the entire wait worth it. Thank you to them all for making our wedding truly a once in a lifetime affair.

Our wedding was an absolute dream here! We had both or ceremony and reception upstairs in the Warren Hall. We also had our rehearsal dinner downstairs in the Still Room the night before. Rachael and her team were incredibly nice and professional the entire process! This venue was EXACTLY what we were looking for for our wedding. Our guests raved about how amazing the venue was including the fancy cocktails and even....THE FOOD! It was so nice to find something that fit mine and my husbands personalities and style. We are from the east side of Michigan near Detroit and could not find anything close to what Journeyman provided! We can't wait to go back there for our anniversary!

Our wedding was amazing here, for so many reasons. First this was our third attempt to get married at Journeyman after 2 reschedulings since 2020 due to Covid. The staff could not have been more accommodating during an overall tough process of rescheduling a wedding. They honored everything from the spring of 2020 and made everything as easy as possible. Now for the day, what can I say. Rachael was incredible, extremely accommodating, the ultimate professional, and the staff was absolutely top notch. Everything went off without a hitch and we had zero concerns throughout the day. We had spent so much time planning, and postponing, and waiting, and for the day to go as perfectly as it did, I just cannot say enough. Our guests absolutely raved about the experience. If I could give more stars, I would.

They hit every mark from getting us all down the aisle, to cocktail hour to the dinner and dancing. Not a single plate was left empty, the food was OUTSTANDING! All of our guests couldn’t have had a better time and said it was the perfect place for a combo ceremony and reception! I would do it all over again no question. Thank you Rachael and team for a day to remember! ❤️

Journeyman was the absolute perfect place to have a wedding! My husband and I have family all over, specifically Michigan, Chicago, and California. We knew wherever we chose, people would have to travel. I ended up finding Journeyman from a google search and from the highway billboards. It was about half way from the Michigan family and the Chicago family, which seemed to be the happy medium. I decided to check it out, and it did not disappoint!!
The event team was fabulous! I actually went through 3 different event managers during my engagement, but every single one of them were prompt in their responses and handled my copious questions exceptionally. They even kept us thoroughly informed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic on any restrictions they foresee. The food, atmosphere and ambiance were just what we were looking for.
When it came to the actual wedding day, it was run beautifully. All of the set up, food, and coordination were flawless, making this "hands-on" bride very relaxed.
Warren hall has so much natural, rustic beauty that it can be shaped any way you see fit! It can really be a blank slate. I would 100% have my wedding there again. My husband, the guests, and I cannot say more positive things about the wedding experience and the overall flow of the night!! Spectacular!! Highly recommend to anyone interested.

Our wedding at Journeyman Distillery was an absolute dream. The venue struck the perfect cord. We knew we weren't country club people. We aren't barn wedding people. We're not fancy hotel people. We were looking for special, inviting, and fun. Man do they deliver. The distillery does all the heavy lifting with it's aesthetic and ambiance. Toss in some greenery and candles and boom, it's a recipe for a perfect night. The communication with the team was easy, the food was great, and the cocktails were divine! Looking back, we'd do it all again and wouldn't change a thing. COVID note: we planned in the thick of the pandemic and considered their contract to be fair and reasonable. We'd happily recommend them as a venue and are already looking forward to our next trip back!

The first time we stepped into Journeyman, we knew it was special. Every staff member we've interacted with from start to finish have been helpful and accommodating. We had the pleasure of working very closely with Dan Breen, Journeyman's Event Manager, while planning our wedding. Dan went above and beyond in every possible way. He responded quickly to every call and gave us the wedding of our dreams. For that, we will be forever grateful. Our guests were blown away by the space and the cocktails and THE FOOD! If you are considering Journeyman for your wedding or even just for dinner... do it RIGHT NOW! You won't regret it!

We recently got married at Journeyman and I can't say enough good things about Daniel and the team. The day went off without a hitch and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I didn't have to worry about anything and Daniel made sure things not even on my list were checked. The ceremony and reception were just beautiful in Warren Hall. I wish we could do it all over again!

So disappointed. I fell in love with Journeyman's Warren Hall and we booked them for our Dec 5th 2020 wedding of 130+ people. They barely had any dates available so I nabbed this Saturday date over a year in advance. They don't have the highest quality food or cocktails but I loved that it was all just one vendor to deal with and a beautiful space. COVID hit and everything changed. We suspected that it would not be safe to host our event as planned indoors this winter but were told that we could not postpone until 2 months out. We tried discussing postponement options but Journeyman was very inflexible. After many back and forth discussions, they provided two new proposals but said we could not make any adjustments even though the room rental fees and food/bev package had increased in price. Given their lack of sympathy, failure to reach out to me (I always had to track them down), inflexibility, and the fact that they no longer are capable of hosting my event as planned per the latest COVID mandate, I have canceled my wedding. Despite several requests, Journeyman absolutely refused to return any of our deposit or even split the cost with us. It's been such a loss emotionally and financially for us but clearly Journeyman does not care. I hope other couples can avoid my mistake!

We had the most amazing, beautiful and romantic wedding that I personally have ever been to! Even during this crazy pandemic time the distillery/venue made it a safe and relaxing atmosphere for us, our wedding party and our guests. Dan our wedding coordinator went to extremes to make sure our day was perfect. We had our ceremony and reception outside on a beautiful September evening in and behind the Stillroom. Our quests got to watch us walk down the isle with a cocktail in hand.
The only complaint I feel like I should mention is that near our dance floor it was muddy, there was no previous rain for days so we weren’t sure what that was about. All the women’s high heels would sink into the grass, and my shoes did get damaged alittle. But I can say how the day went it was very minor.
If we had to do it again we would get married at this venue and wouldn’t change a thing! From the food/staff to the ambiance it was a five star venue!
And we love their bourbon which makes it a bonus!
Cheers to all you future couples!

We had our rehearsal dinner at Journeyman in The Still Room. It was an absolutely beautiful, perfect venue for rehearsal dinner and our guests really enjoyed the experience and bar service - for experience, I have to give them 5 stars! That said, when it came to the planning and food service, I was not as impressed. The coordinator was not very responsive during the planning process and I found the food service to be sub-par. We had to push to start dinner, pass apps, and set out our desserts multiple times and each component was served late. Ultimately this didn't significantly impact the experience for our guests, but if it had been my wedding day and not my rehearsal dinner I would been much more disappointed. While we found the food/drink packages to be reasonable, the cost to rent the space was a bit expensive. 3 stars for food service/pre-planning, 5 stars for guest experience/bar service, 4 stars overall.

Journeyman was the first venue we looked and it gave us a special feeling when we first walked in. We got information and then looked at a couple other venues, but there was something about Journyman that just spoke to us. We booked our space about a year and a half before our wedding and never looked back. We were scheduled to have our food tasting in April 2020 but due to Covid we had to reschedule for July. That whole process was so easy. Daniel worked everything out and made it the best tasting ever! He kept us up to date with all of the changes and regulations they had to follow due to Covid. We had originally booked the Still Room for our ceremony and the Grainery for our reception, but due to Covid regulations we changed to have everything in the Still Room and the outdoor space in the back, plus we booked the bridal suite upstairs. I have to say that was the best decision we made. Everything was beautiful and just meshed together. The food was amazing and we still get people telling us they want to go back just for dinner. Daniel and his team were on top of every little detail and worked very closely with our Day of Coordinator to make sure the day was perfect. AND IT WAS! From start to finish it was the most amazing day. I can not rave enough about Daniel and the whole Journeyman staff!!

What a magical day my husband and I had on our wedding day! Everything was perfect! The staff was incredible.The bartenders were amazing. The day overall was everything I could dream of! Despite these times of uncertainty, they did their best to make all of my dreams come true. The only thing I think they need to improve on is communication. It was very hard to get a hold of the event planners, especially when I need a quick answer for one of my other vendors. This is the only stress I had planning my wedding.

When me and my now husband stopped by Journeyman initially it was partially on a whim, driving back from visiting relatives. But once we walked upstairs and experienced the beautiful aged wood of Warren Hall with the soft string lights and windows lining the sides nothing else really compared. And we are both so happy we chose Journeyman for our wedding! Lindsey was responsive and helpful through our initial inquires and Dan was absolutely wonderful as our Day of Coordinator – would definitely recommend! Even through a second tasting and specific dietary needs for our guests, the staff were super accommodating. On our wedding day the venue looked amazing, it really doesn’t need much to look great, and we had a beautiful sunset shining through the windows during dinner. The long wood tables were absolutely gorgeous. Even with a second wedding happening in a different section of the venue it never felt crowed, loud, or mixed up. My husband loved having the bridal suite to relax, play cards in, and sip whiskey while me and bridesmaids got ready. Dan was on point and quick to take care of any concerns in the weeks before, at the rehearsal, and on the day of the wedding. There was never a line at the bar as they were efficient and had a great system of pre-paring cocktails, which, by the way, the old country goodness was amazing. The food was also delicious and we got many compliments from guests about the quality of their meals. Before, during, and after our wedding all staff members were courteous, responsive, and kind. We would highly recommend Journeyman for your wedding! P.S. Book the flat right next door as well for extremely convenient lodging!

Journeyman’s was the perfect place to get married. Working with Torie and Dan on the wedding details and Lindsey on the rehearsal dinner details, they really have a crew of amazing employees. Everything was so organized and went so smoothly during the planning process, all thanks to Torie, Dan, and Lindsey! On the day of, the wedding, people kept commenting on how beautiful the venue was, and we agree! We had our rehearsal dinner/welcome reception in The Grainery and our ceremony/reception in Warren Hall. Both spaces are beautiful and so affordable!

Amazing venue! We had the night of our dreams getting married at Journeyman Distillery. Warren Hall is a beautiful event space that can accommodate both ceremony and reception. It is restored from a historical factory with plenty of charm and natural beauty. We were planning our Michigan wedding from across the country so we were looking for a venue that was all-inclusive. Journeyman is a one-stop shop in the sense that it is a restaurant and distillery so provides all food and drink in house. They provide all tables, chairs, dishes and linens. They also provided us with a preferred vendors list where we were able to find the rest of our vendors (florist, photographer) who had all worked at the venue previously. Our guests were in awe of Journeyman. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodated us for tastings, help with room layout and day-of wedding coordination. It was the night of our dreams!

Torie & Lindsay were extremely helpful in the months leading up to our wedding reception. We held it in the Grainery and it barely needed any decorations since it is already so beautiful. The staff the day-of were extremely helpful and accommodating, the food was fantastic, and the cocktails were AMAZING!

We are so happy that we were able to have our wedding at Journeyman. First, the venue: we rented out Warren Hall and the private suite next to it. To say it was beautiful is an understatement. The space is so pretty and industrial; very conducive to a lot of different decoration/floral decisions. Journeyman's team was always very responsive to our questions and easy to work with. There are also so many fun touches such as signature/welcome cocktails, and little shooters you can give to your guests as favors. We'd highly recommend them both for the space itself, and the people!

Wow. Wow. Journeyman gets is right. Everything right. Warren Hall is beautifully lit, the food is spot on, the staff is friendly and drinks fabulous. Cocktail hour sets the mood for the evening. As the guests arrive hors d'oeuvres are served and drinks made in a quaint area with the silver curtains closed. As the cocktail hour ends the curtains are drawn back and guests enter the hall for dinner, dancing and lots of fun! Thanks Daniel, thank you Journeyman. The night was magical, perfect in every way!

I can not say enough about Journeyman! Our wedding was absolutely perfect! We had our ceremony outside in the back and our reception in the Grainery. The attention to detail was impeccable and we received so many compliments about how much fun our guests had! The spaces are amazing!! Journeyman has always been one of our favorite places to visit but now it will hold an even more special place for me and my husband! Thank you Jess and Lindsey for everything!!!!

Let's be honest - there should be more stars. This is the first review I have ever written for anything, ANYTHING. This place is what dreams are made of. My now husband and I recently got married here. Journeyman's holds a special place in our hearts as it was stumbled upon our first weekend getaway together. We were married in The Grainery which is stunning, STUNNING. There is no need for decorations as the room is gorgeous on it's own. Enough about how much I'd like to just move in. Let's talk about service. Jessica and Lindsay were great - Jessica was present the night of our wedding, she's amazing. We also had a head server from the time we arrived in the morning until we left that evening that could not have been more helpful or was eagerly ready with a cocktail to calm nerves - my kind of lady. The rest of the service team was just the best. It's rare you find that kind of service anywhere these days. My head server even told me she's throw a punch when one of my family members got unruly, now if that's not top notch service I don't know what is...!!!!!! I just want to remind all brides out there that your service team makes or breaks your wedding. if the service is great, let them know. We even made a trip into the kitchen - dress and all to thank them for how amazing they were....The food was something out of this world. It's not easy to serve to that many people and do it well. So, hat's off to the awesome team at Journeyman Distillery for making my wedding day amazing and stress free, we could not be more thankful!!!!
P.S. If you're looking for a spokesperson for your wedding venues - will work for bread pudding. (So amazing - if you haven't tried this, you're not living your best life)
One more thing - try their booze, it's pretty much the best.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were married at Journeyman earlier this month and we were so pleased with our day, it couldn’t have been more magical or perfect. Leading up to the day communication was somewhat concerning because of days between email correspondence, but as the date approached everything was planned perfectly. We had Daniel as our day-of coordinator and he was fantastic!! He made sure that everything went smoothly and made quick adjustments when we requested them. Overall, we had a perfect wedding and I would recommend Journeyman to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with great food and drinks!

Journeyman gave us the wedding of our dreams. Not only was the physical space the perfect backdrop for our day, but the food, beverages and staff were equally incredible. Every event of the wedding transitioned smoothly from one to the next thanks to Journeyman's professionalism and unparalleled staff of bartenders, coordinators, cleaners and servers. Looking back on our pictures from the day of, we couldn't have imagined spending the day anywhere else. We can't wait to keep visiting for years to come.

Words cannot describe how amazing our experience was at Journeyman Distillery. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in Warren Hall and everything was absolutely incredible! The venue itself is gorgeous with the amazing lighting and ambiance. The ceremony space near the large door was perfect! Cocktail hour was filled with amazing appetizers and cocktails. Our guests loved everything about it. The dinner food was delicious and we loved the little touch of the appetizer platter for bride and groom (since we were too busy during cocktail hour to get all the appetizers). All of the staff we encountered were so friendly and helpful. Jess, Lindsay, and Austin all were so responsive and organized with everything. The night was everything we dreamed of and more and we couldn’t be happier without experience. Highly recommend!!!

I have so many incredible things to say about Journeyman Distillery! What a dream venue to have our wedding – I feel really grateful that we were able to celebrate our big day here. We booked Warren Hall, and it was perfect. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all here, and the setup worked out wonderfully. Warren Hall is such a gorgeous space on its own – the big windows, wood floors, brick walls and other details make it so you don’t have to go very heavy on other decor if you don’t want to! Food and cocktails are so delicious, we got tons of compliments on both. Amazing staff as well, everything ran so smooth from our perspective and we wouldn’t have changed a thing! Highly recommend booking the day-of coordinatation service – Dan was awesome. Jess, their Event Services Manager was also fantastic. Between these two and the rest of the Journeyman staff, couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Journeyman was the perfect wedding venue - as the bride and groom, we couldn't be happier! Jess and Lindsay, along with the rest of the staff, were amazing to work with - they were always friendly and quick to respond, and made sure to carry out our wedding day vision flawlessly. We wish we could re-live our big day all over again! Highly recommend!
