Mississippi River Distilling Company Celebration Center

issippi and having our cocktail hour up there too was an added bonus! The reception had the coziest feel and is the best blank slate for your decor because of the mixture of windows with a river view and original brick walls. Getting to choose from some of their delicious cocktails made planning even more fun. Our guests raved about the gorgeous views, beautiful venue, and tasty cocktails! Monica made planning so easy and seamless for us. I did not have a coordinator but she helped me avoid so much stress and was incredibly organized leading up to and on the big day! The bridal suite provided a beautiful, yet cozy spot for our hair and makeup getting ready on the big day and the guys enjoyed getting ready and hanging out in the barrel room downstairs. We also had our rehearsal dinner there the night before and it was so relaxed and fun. Monica and the entire MRDC staff are wonderful! They were organized, professional, and incredibly helpful! I cannot recommend MRDC Celebration Center enough!

manner. The day of, she was there before 8:00 am and let me know she was leaving at 9:00 pm! She truly cares about how your day goes, and our beautiful wedding showed! Everyone had a terrific time! The staff was also very attentive! Having the ceremony and cocktail hour on the rooftop was so nice!! If you’re having a small wedding like ours, 100 people or less, then this is the perfect venue!

Her attention to detail and willingness to answer our questions made the process enjoyable and easy. We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose this venue. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful place and exceptional service!

credible manager/coordinator, our wedding was perfect. The views overlooking the river are stunning, the interior decor fits any setting, and the staff are extremely kind and accommodating. Monica stayed in contact with us every step of the way to ensure our day was everything we wanted it to be. On the day of our wedding, she made herself available to us while we setup and decorated, answered every question we asked with a smile, and was never bothered by us requesting a few minor changes. Excellent venue and staff - no need to look elsewhere! Thank you, MRDC Celebration Center!!

We would 10/10 recommend this as your wedding venue. A beautiful yet intimate space right on the Mississippi!!

de it so easy to trust that she would help make the ceremony and venue exactly how we wanted it to be. From our set up, to bar staff, music, drinks, it all was perfect. I would not hesitate to book the venue again simply because she has such a great crew and great location to make it all come together.

r a wedding or any event. 

e we wanted: elegant, fun, and full of character. The bridal suite was ideal for getting ready with my bridesmaids and moms, spacious, comfortable, and such a great place to spend the morning together. The guys also loved the groom suite and had a great time getting ready there. It really made the whole day feel relaxed and seamless. Our ceremony on the rooftop was stunning. Overlooking the Mississippi River made for a gorgeous backdrop and unforgettable photos. Monica was wonderful to work with throughout the process, easygoing, responsive, and helpful, which made planning so much less stressful. And the drinks were incredible! Having signature cocktails that were both fun and genuinely delicious was a huge hit with our guests and added such a personal touch to the reception. From start to finish, everything came together beautifully. We received so many compliments from guests about the venue, the views, and the drinks. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s memorable, well-run, and has an amazing atmosphere, this place is an absolute gem.

sippi River Distilling even more now and can’t wait to keep supporting this business!

t of town as well and she was very flexible with our schedule. Our Day of Coordinator Sydney really helped make sure the big day ran smoothly. On top of everything, we had a perfect day with beautiful views (we even had a brief rainbow after the ceremony!) Everything went perfectly!

came up (which were A LOT lol) and were so helpful during the event itself. I highly recommend using this place for any occasion due to it's versatile accommodations and breathtaking views. The handmade variety of cocktails were AHmazing! All of our guests were impressed at the place and location. The river boat Twilight even made an appearance during golden hour! I'm sad that our big day is already over, but there's always room for more events. :)

responsive throughout the entire leadup and day of. Highly recommend!!

ep of the way Monica was kind, accommodating, and eager to assist in any way she could. She truly made a notoriously “stressful” experience so much smoother and we cannot thank her and her team enough. ☺️

private ceremony on the rooftop with our closest family and friends, and then a bigger reception inside with the MOST GORGEOUS view with everyone who loves and supports us truly made this the perfect location. The bridal suite and grooms room were both so unique and and spacious. Every corner of this venue brings it's own romantic charm to your wedding day and you can take a picture almost anywhere you turn. It was absolutely stunning. The bartenders were the nicest people I have ever met and I did not see one of them without a warming smile the entire night. The venue's event coordinator, Monica, was exceptional and did a great job at helping us make our vision come to life! She was truly a dream to work with. Her professionalism, attention to detail and genuine warmth made the entire planning process so seamless. She welcomed my MANY changes throughout the process with grace and support and did not object to any changes made. Our wedding day at the Mississippi River Distilling Company Celebration Center was everything we envisioned and more. It was truly the best day of our lives and we owe so much of that into the incredible venue (and Monica)! We wholeheartedly recommend the Mississippi River Distilling Company Celebration Center to any couple looking for an intimate, dreamy, elegant, and perfect wedding experience. Thank you Mississippi River Distilling Company Celebration Center and Monica for making our wedding day unforgettable. -Best, The Beales June 28, 2025

so even keeping our own decor to just table decorations, we still received multiple compliments on how beautiful the venue was! I will definitely be recommending them to anyone I know looking for a party venue!

went to our venue tour on a Friday and we had to make ourselves wait the weekend to make sure we weren't being silly booking the only venue we visited. It was definitely one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding!! All communication was great. Every question was answered and in a very timely manner. Every staff member was super nice and professional through every step of the process!! We can not recommend them enough!!

ng to work with, especially Monica, and we got everything that we wanted. Drinks were delicious as always. Would definitely recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding.

s and responsive to us and our guests. Signature cocktails were a big hit! The venue is beautiful - perfect!

to think I am the same way) and we worked very well together. Second, the venue is beautiful. We had our ceremony on the rooftop and the additional amenities you get (bridal get ready room and groomsmen get ready room) are comfortable and spacious. We had plenty of room for our wedding party to get ready along with our family that got ready there. There are so many beautiful areas around the venue as well to get great photos and being right off the river is just a beauty in itself. All in All - we had a beautiful wedding and I wouldn’t have changed anything.

s feel important! Would recommend them to everyone!!

f the Mississippi River to the impeccable design that looks straight out of a magazine. I can't even count the number of compliments we received from our guests about how gorgeous the ceremony and reception were. When we first got engaged, it was crucial for us to find a venue that was modern, updated, and truly special. The Celebration Center is all that and more—quite literally picture-perfect. If you're looking for a wedding venue that will leave you and your guests in awe, this is it. There truly isn’t another venue in the QC that compares! Getting ready on the big day was also a dream. I loved spending time in the bridal suite—it was the perfect space to relax and get my hair and makeup done. My husband equally enjoyed hanging out with his friends in the barrel cellar, which had such a cool, unique vibe. And let’s talk about the DELICIOUS cocktails! Our guests were raving about the drinks, which were a refreshing departure from the usual wedding fare. It was so cool to offer something unique and memorable. But what truly sets the Celebration Center apart is the staff. They are the heart and soul of this venue, and they made our day even more special. Planning the wedding with Monica was an absolute dream. She guided us every step of the way, ensuring we were genuinely happy and that the day would unfold exactly as we had envisioned. She made the entire planning process feel effortless and was always available to answer every one of my (many) last-minute questions with grace and expertise. It’s clear she takes immense pride in her work and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Thanks to Monica and the incredible team, our big day was as perfect as we’d always dreamed. On the wedding day itself, our guests couldn’t stop raving about how friendly and attentive the staff was—they truly went above and beyond. I wholeheartedly recommend the Celebration Center to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding experience. You won’t find a better venue or a more dedicated team in the QC!

were comfortable and took care of us. I would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful and unique wedding experience 💜

p perfectly! Definitely recommend!

ous, flexible, understanding, and did it all with a smile on their face. I highly recommend this venue and would not have changed a thing about our day - so stress free and enjoyable for EVERYONE!

the river! The staff here were wonderful to work with and made the process of planning very easy and helpful for us from the beginning. It was a great space for our reception, where we had around 120 guests. We appreciated all of the details that were provided for our wedding day and would highly recommend the Celebration Center to others! Will remember this day for the rest of our lives!

re amazing and the venue was gorgeous. The price is affordable and worth it for everything they have to offer!

ay there. The reception area is versatile with an amazing aesthetic and outside view. Our wedding on 6/1/2024 went seamlessly thanks to the team at MRDC.

e portal was extremely easy to navigate and organize all the documents we needed. The venue itself provided amazing photo opportunities and was the perfect size for our guests. All of the staff was amazing and made our day feel so special!

eager to work with us to make their wedding dreams come true. Highly recommend this very unique & beautiful venue.

l! Perfect for a small wedding and reception!

the day-of. Not only is the building absolutely gorgeous (leaving little necessary in the way of decorating) the beautiful views of the Mississippi River outside of the large windows create a lovely, romantic ambiance. There are a lot of great locations surrounding the building for photographs as well. We got MANY compliments from our guests on the staff during our event as well; they were so helpful and kind. The team checked in on us often to make sure we didn't need anything. They also called some of our vendors to confirm arrival times and make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. PLEASE consider them for your big day!!!

o detailed, thorough, helpful, responsive, and very personable. I had many questions throughout the planning process and Monica provided support and answers every time. On the day of the wedding, everything was in its place and we did not have to lift a finger. The alcohol, bartenders, third party vendors, food service, and all other operations ran smoothly as the details had been nailed down way ahead of time. My husband, family, and myself had such an amazing experience, and we are so thankful that the team at MRDC was so well organized and ran the day like a well-oiled machine. In terms of the venue, the space is stunning and so well-maintained. It has everything one would need for a wedding/event, and is both spacious enough to allow for many guests, but small enough to still feel cozy and intimate. We could not be happier that we went with this venue!

owed for online payments. Monica was responsive, accommodating, personable, and her established relationships with our vendors helped in coordinating our big day. The entire staff was polite and efficient; they did a great job clearing glasses from the tables after dinner or as they were empty and none of our guest ever had to wait for a drink. The arbor we purchased for the ceremony was too light to withstand the wind but Monica offered the arbor from the venue that was better suited for the conditions. When we had inclement weather and had to move our cocktail hour inside from the rooftop, the staff made it a smooth and easy transition. Also, you can't beat the stunning view of the Mississippi. We are extremely happy we chose the Celebration Center for our wedding and would recommend it to anyone looking for a space to host their event!

our wedding party or guests was a plus! I will always recommend them for events! The biggest plus is how amazing their cocktails and staff are! Monica made sure every question we had was answered!

ch a beautiful venue- our guests had so much fun they weren’t ready to leave at the end of the night. I would highly recommend MRD for your special occasion:)

e and stress-free.

ul, the drinks were amazing and the staff was attentive and helpful. They made our dream wedding come true! Could not recommend enough!

ly. It helps that the rooftop view is amazing!

or the reception, and of course, the incredible views of the river for our rooftop ceremony! Monica was fantastic and made our day so easy!

could not stop raving about the venue and the tasty cocktail menu. Monica and her staff were so easy to work with and helped us with every detail along with making sure my groom and I had cocktails while we greeted our guest!

veryone is so helpful. You will love the beauty of this venue. I highly recommend them.

he best parts were the cocktails they offered, all of which were delicious and well-loved by our guests! The getting ready spaces for men and women were wonderful and were equally well suited for comfort and pictures! Absolutely check them out for your wedding, I'd do it all over again and pick them every time

tal in bringing our dream wedding to life. The venue is fairly priced and absolutely beautiful – we went pretty minimal with our decor because the venue does most of the talking all on its own. The staff present on wedding day were readily available, very friendly, and clearly dedicated to ensuring everyone present had a great time. Mimosas in the bridal suite the morning of were such a nice touch. :) we are so grateful and highly recommend the Celebration Center for your next event!
