Our wedding was perfect all due to deciding to have it at this venue. Not only is the venue beautiful and accommodated our guest perfectly, but Ben and Christine made this process so easy for us. Everything leading up to the day was taken care of and then the day of we did not have to worry about a thing because of them. All in all it was perfect day and we are so happy we chose to have it at Combustion Brewing. Reviewed on 22-11-2023

We booked Combustion Brewery Private Event Space for our wedding the same day we toured the space. It was truly the venue of our dreams! Ben and Christine (Event Manager and Coordinator) are the absolute definition of a dynamic duo. They were calming, reassuring, and thorough every step of the way. The market their events as stress free and they do not take that promise lightly! We had several meetings with them over the year + of planning as well as numerous email check-ins. Best of all, they both work the day of your event as well. Because of this, we had the absolute smoothest, most organized, and most incredible wedding day! From the night before at the rehearsal, to the day of, not a single stone was left unturned. Christine was truly the coordinator I didn’t know I needed - and I am eternally grateful for her. We got to pick from all of their in season beers made right there at the brewery to build our bar package. All night long at our wedding guests were telling us how amazing the drinks were and that it was the best wedding they had ever been to - and we agree of course!! If we could do it all again, we would absolutely pick Combustion every single time. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us leading up to - and on our wedding day! Book with them ASAP (or at the very least, go check out the brewery!) you will not regret it! Reviewed on 19-10-2023

I wish I could give the review more than 5 stars. Ben Hufford, Christine Nadalin, and the entire Combustion team made our wedding dreams come true. From start to end, they made everything run smoothly and ensured every detail was in place. The venue itself is stunning and unique — the perfect background for our special day. Our guests raved about the beautiful location and delicious beer. If you’re thinking about having your event here, do it! We cannot recommend Combustion highly enough. Reviewed on 02-10-2023

5 stars all the way! I just had my wedding at Combustion’s Private Event Space on 9/2 and was absolutely blown away. From day 1 the communication from Ben and Christine was flawless. They made every single step of this process so easy. We had a wedding of roughly 130 people. They both made it so I would not have to stress about a thing. Christine was on top of communicating directly with my vendors and making sure everybody was on the same page. She showed up early day off to ensure everyone did their part, and was where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there. Ben and Christine were both there the night before with us helping set up as well. They made the process stress free and easy. Absolutely loved getting to know and work with them. Every single person that came to my wedding came up to me and said how much fun they had, and how much they love the venue.10/10 recommend them to anyone looking to get married. Fair prices, easy to work with, great location, awesome spot for pictures,Etc. We had been to 5 other places prior- and these guys were life savers. Cannot recommend them enough.

Amy Shalosky(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2022 My husband and I got married at Combustion last month and I can not say enough wonderful things about this venue and team! When we got engaged in 2021 we knew immediately this was our top choice. After meeting Ben we booked Combustion right away! He made me feel extremely comfortable right away and I could tell that he knew what he was doing. The entire planning process was smooth and Ben answered all of my questions in a timely manner as well as allowed me to come back to see the space as a refresher when we got closer to our date. As we got closer I was also in contact with Christine (day of coordinator). I felt just as much at ease with her! She took the time to help with my day of timeline and coordinating with my vendors, etc. She made sure that my wedding day ran smooth and there was no stress. I could go on and on about how wonderful the team is and how beautiful this space is! Please do yourself a favor book this venue. I would choose Combustion over and over!!! Reviewed on 12-10-2022

Ben and Christine were absolutely amazing. They were so friendly and organized, not to mention fantastic communicators any time we had any questions. We had both our ceremony and reception in the party room. Everything went smoothly and easily. Christine helped us a lot on the day-of, and my bridesmaids and I are so thankful for all she did! As the bride, I didn't have to worry about a thing the day-of except for getting ready. Our wedding day was completely perfect and we owe a lot of that to Christine, Ben, and all of the hardworking folks at Combustion. The guests loved the space and highly complemented the bar service.

Brandon Jordan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-08-2020 We absolutely loved Combustion Brewery and the people! It truly made our day special to have our wedding there. I don’t think we could have asked for a better experience. We are a gay couple that honestly had a little bit of nerves when looking at potential venues. We began look long for places in the fall of the 2019. We randomly saw this place in an online search and really loved the aesthetic. From the moment we first walked in the venue for the first time, we knew almost immediately this is where we wanted to have our wedding. Ben was one of the friendliest people we had met during our search. My husband Chris and I both felt welcomed . We pretty quickly picked out our date for August 2020. Ben and his team really worked with us as a gay couple really well, with the normal gender roles in a wedding being shifted. He asked all the right questions and in a way that never felt awkward. I was very impressed with this interaction.Our wedding was scheduled during COVID, so there was constant changes coming from the various mandates. Luckily we were able to have a ceremony on the date we wanted, but we had to downsize from 100 people to 30. One of the greatest things was since our wedding wasn’t going to be what we initially imagined (at no fault of Combustion Brewery), we were offered a “sequel wedding” in August of 2021. Essentially we had our small 30 guest ceremony in August 2020 and our reception with the original guest list of 100 people in August of 2021. This accommodation worked out great Combustion and Ben definitely made a not ideal situation into something wonderful. I really can’t say enough great things about this place. It’s a beautiful venue with very kind people who run it. The whole team worked hard to make sure we had the perfect day. The planner that works with Combustion is great as well. The railroad tracks by the brewery also made a really great back drop for wedding pictures. We like to stop by now to just have a beer in the tap room downstairs. It will forever be a special place to us and the ability to be able to continue to visit Combustion and reflect on our day just brings us joy. This is a great place to have your wedding and if it is the aesthetic you’re looking for, you should definitely consider coming here. Reviewed on 09-12-2021
Molly McCulley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-10-2021 When I saw pictures of the event space at Combustion, I was in love. When we saw it in person, I knew immediately that it was where we were going to get married — it was the first and only venue we visited! The space is such a great mix of vintage, rustic, and industrial, and the string lights give it that hint of romance that makes it perfect to celebrate marriage. Ben and Christine are amazing and did everything they could to bring our wedding to life. They were very flexible and understanding when we decided to change our plans and have a very small ceremony due to worries about covid. I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day, and they are directly responsible for that. I’m looking forward to working with them again next year when we have our reception/anniversary party!

Dana Schulman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-09-2021 My wife and I absolutely loved having our wedding at Combustion!! The loft is beautiful and this was one of the few places we found that had two legitimate dressing rooms. Ben and Christine were wonderful to work with throughout the process - especially when we had to postpone our original 2020 wedding date. They made sure everything was taken care of and that we felt totally at ease and stress-free on the day of our wedding! We had the best wedding ever and we're so grateful we decided to have it here.

Larissa Carson (McMeans)(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-03-2021 Ben + Christine went above and beyond to ensure our wedding at Combustion Brewery was everything we envisioned (and so much more!). From offering suggestions, to physically helping set up/take down -- to Christine helping \"guard\" the bride, keeping away unwanted distractions, our special day at Combustion could not have been more perfect! The venue is visually stunning and unique, with Edison-style lights strung across the ceiling, and gorgeous natural lighting from the windows. The bride and groom dressing rooms were perfectly arranged, with more than enough space and seating for the wedding party to comfortably get ready. Ben + Christine were so easy to communicate with, and so willing to go out of their way to make sure this was a wonderful experience for us. 10/10 would recommend Combustion Brewery & Taproom to anyone searching for a beautiful venue, with professional/customer service-oriented staff. The value is unbeatable. We can't praise Combustion Brewery (Ben + Christine) highly enough!! Book with them -- you'll be so happy you did. Reviewed on 15-03-2021

The venue is great! Tons of space, a private (and well decorated) room to get ready in, romantic lighting, and AMAZING beer!! We were able to cater in whatever food and bring in our own DJ that we wanted and Ben and his team brilliantly executed the change of layout during our cocktail hour. We were able to get some awesome photos inside the brewery and also outside on the railroad tracks. The price was great and I wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else!!

Everyone was kind and professional from the moment we started. Ben, the Special Events Manager, and Sarah, the Event Coordinator and Owner, were awesome to work with! Ben helped us chose a caterer and even helped us set up a food tasting and beer pairing at Combustion on a day they were normally closed! They took care of setting up the space for our the ceremony and were able to quickly rearrange the space for our reception. They also provided all of the linens we needed with a wide color variety to select from. All of the bartenders who served us during the reception were professional, kind, and provided fast service. They also took care of all of the cleanup and tear down at the end of the night! We jut had to make sure all of our own stuff was out of there.
