Alexandra Bunting(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-02-2022 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.

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!

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 Reviewed on 07-07-2023

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.

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!

Jonathan Uebelhor(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-04-2022 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Courtney Nixdorf(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-11-2019 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!

Rebecca Kohles(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-09-2019 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! Reviewed on 27-09-2019
Patrick Steadman(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-09-2019 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! Reviewed on 22-09-2019

Brenda Long(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-02-2019 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!

Clare Arquilla(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-09-2018 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!!!! Reviewed on 20-10-2018
Lindsey Hill(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-09-2018 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reviewed on 17-10-2018
Megan Sundberg(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-09-2018 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! Reviewed on 28-09-2018
Maddie LaKind(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-08-2018 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. Reviewed on 30-08-2018

Kierstyn Hacker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-07-2018 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!!! Reviewed on 26-07-2018
Katherine Morse Morse(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-05-2018 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! Reviewed on 17-07-2018

Stephanie Sippos(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-04-2018 I am so glad I ended up having my wedding at Journeyman! We originally booked at another venue over a year before our wedding and when they cancelled on us 6 weeks prior we were left scrambling. I had already been in contact as I was planning my rehearsal dinner here and they were super fast to tell me it would be okay and they could accommodate us! SO reassuring to a stressed out bride. They were so quick with responses and extremely detail oriented. Plus the space is just phenomenal! We had our ceremony in the still room which was perfect for our under 100 guest list(my only complaint is it was a little warm but I am sure that was partial nerves for me). We had our reception in the grainy overlooking their equipment. It was such an fun talking point, our guests loved it! We chose the least expensive drink package (couldn't go wrong with any choice) and they still provided a welcome drink and 2 signature drinks!! All of the drinks were TOP NOTCH! At our original venue we had selected a chicken and beef (filet) option and since most of our guests had already RSVP'd we felt stuck to stay with those choices (except at Journeyman we went with flank steak which I was a little concerned about) but I was not disappointed! The steak was perfect and the chicken, SO good! The brie mashed potatoes- one of my bridesmaids texted me yesterday that she dreams about them! Everything was just perfect! The venue itself- a show stopper, the food and drink- amazing, the day of staff and planning team- beyond helpful! The silver lining to our venue cancelling? That we could re-book with Journeyman!! Absolutely a dream come true!! Reviewed on 09-05-2018
Melissa S(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2017 Our October wedding at the new Grainery venue was absolutely beautiful! The space was the perfect size for our wedding of 140 people, and we received so many compliments. Our guests loved that the bar was near the dance floor, so everyone felt like they were together for the party. The location is gorgeous on its own and does not require extra decorations. This location overlooks the restaurant and working distillery below, which added a little extra ambiance to our event. The noise from the restaurant below was not an issue for our ceremony or reception. Journeyman and Staymaker provided the menus, and our foodie guests loved the handcrafted cocktails, local meats, and house-made items.It was an absolute pleasure working with Lindsay during our planning process, and Natalie took care of all of the details on our big day. We would highly recommend any of their three venues for your event, and we are looking forward to celebrating anniversaries at Journeyman! Reviewed on 21-11-2017
Joann Jagla(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2017 Held my son and daughter in laws wedding here in the Still Room in Sept, 2017. The room was gorgeous and lit just perfectly. The service that Lindsay provided was top notch - she always got back to me with answers and suggestions. Day of went perfectly, everything set up as was discussed. The drinks were great and the food was wonderful. We had 103 people in the small space but it never felt cramped and we had room to dance and party - a nice intimate feel. The outdoor space worked out perfectly for a beautiful outdoor ceremony. Thank you Lindsay! Reviewed on 23-10-2017
Clare Maxwell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-12-2018 We had our rehearsal dinner here. Although it was a more expensive option than other locations, the space was perfect for our 100 person rehearsal. The food was delicious and we dropped off a bunch of decorations and they made the room look gorgeous. Only negative was that they ran out of bread (there was amazing butter on the tables and I think people took more because of that)-- and didn't refill the bread which isn't the end of the world. Drinks were great, coordinating with Lindsay was super easy, would totally recommend. Reviewed on 19-10-2017

I'm so obsessed with this place! They offer wedding planning assistance, the staff is friendly and helpful, the drinks are incredible and crafty, and the food is DELICIOUS! Even my very picky grandpa said it was the best Salmon he's had in his life! I couldn't recommend this place enough- the best experience and they helped me make my dream wedding come to life!
