Susan and her team were a true joy to work with. Susan was an excellent communicator the entire time we were planning our wedding and she was constantly going above and beyond to make sure our day felt special to us. The Boone County Distilling staff day of could not have been more attentive and amazing, they were constantly checking in on us, were so kind to us and all of our guests, just the best. We would highly recommend Boone County Distilling for your big day, it is the perfect venue! Reviewed on 28-11-2023

We fell in love with this venue from the start! We wanted a rustic vibe & also happen to be bourbon lovers. We loved that we were allowed to take some photos in their rick house & in the actual back of the distillery. We even set up a private tasting the night before at our rehearsal for our wedding party. It was so much fun! Our wedding party enjoyed it as well. We wanted something different than the usual typical boring rehearsal. We worked with Susan up until our wedding day. We worked with Megan on our actual wedding day. Both were great! The entire staff here seems to really care & love what they do. Our wedding was so beautiful. Our ceremony was outside on their patio. Despite being in an industrial area, you would never guess it. It felt so private. The landscaping is amazing; so perfect for a rustic wedding. Everything was as they promised. The entire process was seamless & very reasonably priced. We had awesome bartenders & used their barrel room to put our buffet in which is just a really cool room. It’s round with charred wood on the walls. Our buffet line moved quickly because of how they set it up; it was great. I could go on & on but suggest you see for yourself. You’ll be happy you did!

This is the perfect place to have your wedding! It's so beautiful & everyone is so nice. We could not have asked for a smoother wedding experience. Our guests loved the space so much that 2 of our friends are going to getting married here as well! We can't wait to get all of our wedding photos...we saw some shots taken in the building where they store the bourbon & they are amazing! Everything was so perfect. We had our ceremony outside on their patio & reception indoors. The entire staff has a passion for what they do & it shows. We seriously could not have asked for a better venue.

After looking at several venues, we chose this one. So glad we did! Susan always took the time to answer our questions & often times gave us information before we even had to ask. We felt very relaxed throughout the entire process. She made everything so easy. We worked with Megan on our wedding day. She & the bar staff were incredible! The venue is so beautiful. We had an outdoor wedding in July. The patio landscaping was just SO pretty. All our guests raved about it! Thank you Boone County Distilling for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be!Bridgette S Reviewed on 17-11-2023
We had our wedding here. As soon as we seen this place I knew this was the one. The rustic vibes the bourbon. Everything went beautifully and smooth. The backdrop was amazing. We were able to take pictures in the barrel room. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Reviewed on 29-10-2023
Pam Roberts(guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-03-2023 We couldn’t have hoped last night’s wedding rehearsal dinner could have gone any better. It was so nice to hang out for a few hours and have family and friends chat, unwind and relax. It’s wonderful to see the so many people who love and support Michelle and Matthew as they begin married life. We are all now looking forward to the nuptials tomorrow and being thankful that the rain is here today and will be moving out before the wedding day.I must give a shout out to Boone County Distilling Company. We held our event here and from start to finish, this place and their staff could not have been more amazing. Susan Wells communicated with me on a regular basis to be sure that all our needs were met. Our event bartender, Nicole, was just incredible! She was classy, fun, personable and an excellent bartender. I can’t say enough good stuff about her!! All of their staff have a great attention to detail and really went above and beyond for our event. The decor, bar and event area (they even have an outside area and are dog and kid friendly) are just perfect. How did I not know about this hidden gem right here, minutes from my house? So get the word out, if you’re looking for a great place for and event or gathering or even to plan a tour, I can’t recommend Boone County Distilling Company enough. (No, I don’t work for them, it was just a really great experience)Secondly, I want to shout out to Lother’s Catering. First I must say that Lother’s Catering catered our wedding 32 years ago, I heard it was great, but I don’t even remember having time to eat at my own wedding. LOL! We chose Lother’s for this event and the food and service were impeccable! Beth was our service person and she was just the best and handled everything perfectly. Every guest raved about how good the food was, especially the Bourbon Chicken…. Just delicious! I know it sounds like a sales pitch. But so often we only share reviews to complain. We didn’t have one complaint last night, so I thought it was important to share this too! Thanks to everyone who made our event stress free and perfect. Reviewed on 08-03-2023
Hannah Pender(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2022 This place was absolutely wonderful and the staff was fantastic! We pick this venue in the middle of winter with a fall wedding date in mind. I worked with Susan and Nicolette for the wedding and they were both fantastic! Everything ran so smoothly, everything turned out beautiful, and I highly recommend this venue! Wedding planning is stressful so having Nicolette as a coordinator was so helpful! She listened to every concern I had, she arranged everything to be perfect for me, and she even went dumpster diving because I threw something away on accident. I am forever grateful to her for making my day feel special and for allowing my day to be all about my husband and I! The venue was also amazing and beautiful! We hardly had to decorate anything because the venue is wonderful on its own. The flowers were perfect and in bloom. The flowers also made for a wonderful backdrop for my pictures. There aren’t any rooms to get ready in but that wasn’t a big deal for us. We ended up bringing a trailer in for the guys to get ready in and the girls took a limo there. It worked out perfectly.
