Prairie Street Brewing Company

are. We loved the many spaces we were able utilize - the dock, cocktail hour space, and reception space. We can’t wait to go back already even for a beer in the restaurant!

were able to bring in an extra table when we needed it. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

asier for a first time bride and groom. The venue is absolutely stunning and the food was a hit ( as was the beer!). We couldn’t be happier after having our wedding at Prairie Street Brewery and we would hands down recommend having your wedding here too!

extra room available on our wedding day when it rained. They truly help take away a lot of the wedding stress with their professionalism and experience! We so recommend them for any future event!

bout how beautiful the space was. We worked mostly with Danielle and Nitsy, who were wonderful.

he month leading up to our wedding became stressful but Patrick was super helpful and made me understand what was needed. My one issue was that the food was not warm for our guests for dinner service. Overall, the day turned out beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for a better staff to work with!

endor the day of the wedding! Every staff member we worked with (and that worked our event) was friendly, upbeat and extremely accommodating. The food and beer here is phenomenal as well - all of our guests raved about how great the food was! We received a TON of compliments on this venue from our guests, both in regards to the style of the space and the overall experience the PSB staff provided. We HIGHLY recommend this venue!

state so planning from afar was a challenge, but they made it so much easier. Nicole and all the other coordinators the day of were so amazing and I highly recommend the brewhouse. Beautiful building that is so well kept and spacious. Couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

planning process, and each one was great, especially Nitsy and Nicole! They are extremely flexible and accommodated all of our requests from start to finish. They also have great relationships with the best Rockford vendors. It made planning from Chicago so much easier. We could trust that our vendors would work well with the staff at Prairie Street to ensure everything was perfect. Thanks so much!

elsewhere for my wedding.

. So if you're looking to book with them, be sure to book early! For the most part, their communication was pretty great! Outside of the occasional 4-5 day delay in responding the e-mails, they were pretty phenomenal. The only other thing I would speak to "negatively" (not a big deal, really) is the fact that you do get tossed around to multiple different people in the planning process. One to book you, then you get transferred to another person as you get about 6 months out, and then another about 4 months out. Even then, there is a chance that the "final" person you're put with to discuss details with won't be there on the big day and will be a different member of their team - I will admit I was a little upset about this at first, but the amount of organization there is between the team is phenomenal, and honestly the day went off without a hitch. I only say this so that if you book, you're aware of this and aren't caught off guard as I was. I will say though that everything was phenomenal from a day of service standpoint. For example, the water levels were high the morning of the wedding, but was going down as the day went on - Patrick (the event manager) was legitimately out there in his suit spraying off the docks so that the muck and algae wouldn't be in our pictures during the ceremony. Anything we asked the day of, they accommodated, and we are so thankful for everything they did. We were concerned that the bathroom was shared with the public, however security was phenomenal. We had one issue with wedding crashers (that came in a side entrance) and the staff was on them immediately. I really cannot speak highly enough of them - The staff there is phenomenal. Don't hesitate to book with them!

eeks before the date. We asked when we would have to come in to meet for our set up. They were rushing us to do that in a few days. This is the stuff that they need to just send a quick email to let me know I need to think of what day to do it on. They also screwed up having gluten free noodle option for a few guests which was on our plan. They then interrupted me the bride while eating to ask me if they needed to make the noodles. I was also supposed to get a custom sign, one person said it fell off the building, another said it was in river. Either way we would get the sign, it's now over a month later and I haven't gotten a sign. If your ok nagging and having poor communication this is the place for you. If i did it over again I'd pick somewhere else, it's so expensive for what you got.

erfect!

ur tasting. Overall this place is just for looks. That is what your paying for.

enue that is beautiful in every inch, with amazing food, PSBH is it! I received so many compliments on the wedding for weeks, and still getting texts about it a month later. I have no doubt that I chose the perfect place for our wedding day. Even better, we were able to have half the outside dock, which we saw the downtown fireworks! What a perfect day!

inside. The staff is fantastic to work with and the food was amazing! I highly recommend it. Nothing else like it in the Rockford area.

thought the value was decent. Although, service is part of the equation. There were a lot of personnel changes during the time I worked with them--two of my main contacts left either the day before or after my wedding, so I think once they are fully staffed they will be in a better position to provide a great experience from start to finish.

, if you're a little more into the ornate, there is definitely the ability to go all out. Also, we had both our ceremony and reception here. Utterly convenient. We were in love with the place. The people were very helpful, too.

was one of the 3 venues we met with and immediately booked the last June wedding (by this time they were a full on wedding venue). We booked the whole site (3 rooms + the dock). It was reasonably priced and allowed us to pick our own vendors (which was key for us!) They were in charge of the alcohol which was also pretty reasonably priced (as far as alcohol for wedding goes). The venue was gorgeous that night and they accommodated all our requests. My only complaints would be that I felt a little like they nickel and dimed you for setting up each table, chair, etc. (although it is the wedding industry) and that it was a little hot in the facility (but it was nearly 100 degrees out that day). I'm so glad to have a unique venue like this in the Rockford area!
