Stunning Surroundings Full of Industrial Charm
The Whiskey Factory is a wedding venue situated in Detroit, MI. Found within the confines of a historic downtown property, this one of a kind location operates as both a premier event space and an operational spirit distillery. Spread out over 7,000 square foot with a stunningly ornate industrial interior, it offers couples a unique venue to create unforgettable celebrations. It features a wide range of amenities and a professional event coordination team to help you every step of the way. Every inch of this venue exudes a sense of vintage style and industrial elegance. Whiskey barrels line the walls and it even features an original vintage bar constructed in the 1920s. Originally designed as a brewery for the Goebel Brewing Company in the 1930s, it became an ice cream factory after prohibition turned Detroit into a dry city. Over the years it has retained its industrial loft layout but certain features have been added to give it a sense of modern chic charm. The Whiskey Factory is perfect for celebrating every stage of your wedding, from your walk down the aisle right through to the last dance. With its spacious layout, it can accommodate gatherings of up to 250 guests, with room for a dance floor and live entertainment. The event coordination team will help you every step of the way, offering a wide range of preferred local vendors from DJs, to florists, to shuttle services, and more. As it is a functioning distillery, there are also a variety of beverage packages to choose from, including artisan cocktails featuring spirits crafted in-house. Whatever your dream wedding looks like this superb venue will provide a timeless backdrop that will ensure that you savor every last drop.

Having a wedding here was like a page out of a fairy tail. This place really does make your wedding dream become a reality. We got married in exactly 1 year to the day we were engaged. We were always adamant about having a Detroit wedding but weren’t sure where where to start. We came across the Whisky Factory and fell in love with it immediately. Booking it was one of the easiest and best decisions that we have ever made. Whether it was when we first secured our date, the constant communication and check-ins at certain points before the wedding to make sure we were as ready as could be, or the day of, there communication, insight, and efforts made for the perfect wedding. They have an amazing event team, but have to give a special shout-out to Bethany and Amelia for running the behind the scenes work the day of. Bethany was so helpful from the start with our tasting and helping us decide on which drinks would go best. Everyone is so kind and wants you to have everything you want and dream of on your special day. We are speechless by how beautiful the ceremony and reception turned out. Without the Whisky Factory and their amazing staff, we would not of had truly the most perfect wedding. You cannot beat this venue. If you book with them, they are also a distillery and make all of their spirits and cocktails in house. They also have partnered with two unique and we received so many compliments from our guests that it was the best food and cocktails that they had ever had at a wedding. We couldn’t have asked for anything better in a venue and we are so beyond happy that we chose them for our most special day. The Peterson’s

We had our 6/24/23 wedding at the Whiskey Factory and it couldn't have been a better fit. From the very first inquiry, the team was responsive, informative, and helpful. We had the unique experience of planning a Michigan wedding from out of state, and they made sure we could get a virtual tour before booking as well as extended flexibility in scheduling an on site visit when our travel schedule allowed. We got married at the bar, and the lighting was incredible for our photographer to capture us during the ceremony and as we walked down the aisle as husband and wife! Whiskey Factory also offers a drink tasting which was SUCH a fun way to interact with the venue and make our wedding day unique to us. We got SO many compliments on our featured drinks. They recently started making a tequila drink, and this was a HUGE hit with our guests. We also wanted to include a mocktail option in our batch to be inclusive and respectful of all guest experiences, and Bethany worked with her team to ensure we could add this as well! This was also a huge hit with guests, highly recommend! A big thanks to the Whiskey Factory team for an unforgettable experience!

We had our wedding at the Whiskey Factory on 6/17/23 and couldn't have asked for a better venue or staff to work with. I knew the Whiskey Factory was cool but was completely blown away by how beautiful it looked on our wedding day! It was amazing to see how everything came together so perfectly. Amelia, Bethany, and everyone at the WF made planning so easy - I don't know how they do it! They are truly the sweetest people who want your day/event to be perfect and their care shines through every communication. Every step of the way was so fun - from touring the venue, to the cocktail tasting, to the actual wedding day. We got so many compliments on the beautiful and unique venue, the drinks, the food, and overall how seamlessly everything was run. I only wished it didn't go by so fast! Thank you SO much!

Words cannot describe how INCREDIBLE of a venue The Whiskey Factory is to host an event, especially a wedding. At first glance, yes the venue is a fully functioning distillery, however, it was transformed to our dream wedding. We were truly hoping for a vintage Detroit \"themed\" wedding and they were the perfect place to pull it off. Not to mention, the staff is so amazing to work with. we personally worked with Amelia for our wedding and she was so kind, patient, and knew her s**t. And, of course, the drinks were TOP NOTCH!!! We've received soooo many compliments on the beverages served at our wedding! Choosing The Whiskey Factory for your wedding will not disappoint you!

You MUST book The Whiskey Factory if you want a venue with ~cool factor~ and an incredible cocktail menu. My guests from both California and Michigan were raving about how unique and awesome the venue was and people were buying bottles of Detroit City Distillery whiskey to take home to remember the day.Honestly, I'd give The Whiskey Factory 7/5 stars for the staff alone. Planning a wedding from out of state is tough but the venue coordinator, Caitlyn, was immensely helpful throughout the planning process. We were only able to make a trip out to Michigan once before our wedding and made sure to do our drink tasting during our visit. During that time with us, Caitlyn made sure to cover every last detail of our wedding day and my husband and I (+ my in-laws) walked away knowing we were in good hands.During our rehearsal, I was impressed by Caitlyn's ability to wrangle our rather large wedding party (30+ people) and guide us through the ceremony rehearsal with ease. The one thing that truly blew me away was in the 24 hrs between our rehearsal and wedding day, she took the time to count out our ceremony music and made timestamps for when each person of our wedding party would walk out. I also have to give some extra appreciation for the two gals who helped carry my train and my long cathedral veil in the back stairwell during the ceremony. I cannot thank this team enough for ensuring that our ceremony and the rest of the wedding day ran as smoothly as it could and would encourage anybody to host their big day here.

From the day we booked the venue, the staff were so easy to work with and responsive to all our needs! They put us at ease and answered all of our my questions. They were incredibly accommodating to our schedules since we were planning the wedding from the east coast. The drink tasting was one of our favorite parts of the planning process. Going through the game plan with Caitlyn immediately put us at ease who is so on top of things! The day of the wedding went seamlessly. The staff were excellent and our guests gushed about the drinks and the venue! The space was so magical and beautiful! If you are thinking of booking, don't hesitate!

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at the Whiskey Factory. We worked with both Alyssa and Caitlyn during the process, and both were so wonderful. The planning process was extremely smooth with Caitlyn being very quick to respond and clearly the expert on what works well in the space.Before the wedding, we got to do a cocktail tasting with Caitlyn (+ my parents and sister), which was SO fun. The cocktails were delicious and it was a wonderful way to get excited for the wedding in the month leading up to our big day.On the day of the wedding, I felt so taken care of by the WF staff. They mostly worked with our day-of-coordinator, but were really amazing in ensuring that the day flowed smoothly. The cocktails were delicious (even our non-cocktail-loving guests opted for the specialty cocktails instead of beer or wine) and the ambiance was wonderful. What I love most about the space is that you don't need to bring in much decor to make the venue feel warm and inviting - the beautiful hanging lights and rustic space do the work themselves! The Whiskey Factory was wonderful from start to finish (even giving us a wedding present to help us celebrate) and I highly recommend hosting your wedding here.

Alyssa the sales manager there was one of the most kind hearted, helpful people we could have ever asked for to work with. She answered all of our questions and helped tremendously along the way in the wedding process. She actually officiated our wedding as well! (We LOVE her!!) The other staff were so helpful and wonderful as well. They went above and beyond to help set up, light candles, hang things up, ect and just made us feel so comfortable and stress free.Great food by Two Unique, great atmosphere, cool guest book ideas (signing an empty barrel) AMAZING photo opportunities (shoutout to our photographer Brettina Mae), great signature cocktails, and just a beautiful day in general.

There will never be enough words to fully describe the amazingness of our wedding day because of the amazing people that work at the Whiskey Factory. Between coordinating with us from out of state, dealing with multiple requests for walk throughs, scheduling our cocktail tasting, answering questions, sending documents and resources, and generally supporting us to make our day look and feel the way we wanted. The space itself is GORGEOUS and allows enough blank space to create the image in your head, without being a completely empty room that one has to fill with decorations in order to feel \"dressed\" (SO much $$$.) The working floor was perfect for our cocktail hour, and the transition/room flip went so smoothly. We had 115 people who came, and I think we could have easily fit more, but our number didn't get lost in the space either which was great. Our guests were thrilled, and by the end of the night there were conversations about what other kinds of events folks could host there. There was never an \"up-sell\" there was always wonderful humanity and compassion in our communications, and if we could do it all again we would get married at the Whiskey Factory every time. If you're trying to find an industrial space that has more of a \"warm\" feeling, and you want to work with the best and most friendly professionals in the business, and you love amazing spirits (we bought different bottles every time we came to visit), this is your place, these are your people.

Caitlyn was our main point of contact, and from the 6 month checklist on, she was always responsive and helpful, answering questions and making our requests happen. One of our favorite parts of the planning process was our drink tasting with Caitlyn. She sent over lists and information so that we could make all of the smallest DIY details we wanted happen, like a list of all of the tasting notes for every spirit to create a menu, down to which signature drink we wanted waiting for us in our DCD rocks glasses at the head table. Lizzy helped the wedding party get to where we needed to be before the ceremony, and Caitlyn helped me by literally carrying my veil up the stairs. I almost cried when I saw the venue set up because it was done exactly how I had envisioned.

They sent helpful checklists as the day grew nearer to keep us on track, and Caitlyn walked us and our bridal party through the rehearsal to make sure everything was perfect for the big day. On our wedding day, Caitlyn and Madison truly exceeded our expectations in every way. They helped us set up our entryway table, seating chart, place cards, paced us down the aisle, literally carried my dress and veil as I walked up the stairs, and always kept our glasses full. They made our day effortless and memorable. Because of them, our wedding at The Whiskey Factory was a day we will never forget.

Compliments are not just from the bride and groom either---we continue to receive daily texts and calls about how \"cool\" and \"organized\" our venue was. Alyssa, Caitlyn, Brynn, Madison, Lizzy---everyone helped make our day PERFECT! This team of girls has got it together! So friendly and welcoming---no question was ever \"silly\". They embody the idea that us brides have been dreaming of this day our whole lives but when it comes down to it, we don't know what we're doing, ha! The team made small adjustments and accommodations to make our dream day happen. When we left behind a few framed photos, they shipped them right to us. I am already trying to figure out what event I can host with them next. A+ everything!

Having our wedding at the Whiskey Factory was a dream come true! Of course the space is breathtaking (seriously, our guest could not stop talking about how beautiful it was) and the drinks are amazing, but the best part was the staff. Caitlyn and the rest of the team went out of their way to make it the wedding of our dreams. Their communication was spot on from the time we booked until our wedding day and beyond (18 months!). On the day of, every staff member we interacted with bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable, help calm our nerves, and help us have the best wedding possible. I literally would not change a thing, 100/10 recommend!

My husband and I got married at The Whiskey Factory on 6/24/22 and it was a truly magical day thanks to TWF’s team of professionals. From the moment we stepped foot in TWF over a year ago for our tour with Alyssa, we knew it was our wedding venue. Alyssa was so knowledgeable and made us feel at ease with the process from day one. Since then, we have worked closely with Caitlyn and Madison. Both were phenomenal with great and prompt communication, answers to all of my questions, and a TON of help on site the day of our wedding. We absolutely loved working with them.The craft cocktails were a big hit on our wedding day and the venue is truly one of a kind and absolutely stunning. This is a team of reliable and trustworthy people and you will be in the very best hands from start to finish with The Whiskey Factory – we cannot recommend it enough!!

My husband and I were looking for a unique venue for our wedding reception in Detroit. We're not the ballroom-type and as soon as we walked into Whiskey Factory we knew we found our place. We worked with Caitlyn over the course of almost 2 years to plan our big day. She was easy to work with and very responsive over email answering my 1,000 questions. We had a vision to do a \"Take a Seat, Take a Shot\" seating chart and she gladly brought it to her team and we were able to do it! It was one of my favorite parts of the reception. If you're considering it, I highly recommend! Overall, anything we were looking to do, WF worked with us to make the vision come to life. The drinks were AMAZING and our guests were commenting on how much they liked them. Caitlyn coordinate with us to drop things off the day before, including the cake which they refrigerated for us, and pick everything up the morning after. Overall, we had an incredible experience and the best wedding day we could have asked for. If you're thinking this venue is your vibe, you won't be disappointed!

HIGHLY recommend The WF. Their team was so amazing to work with, they were so helpful and accommodating AND responsive which is very important as a stressful bride! Alyssa and Caitlyn (and their team including Brynn and Madison) were the sweetest and I am going to miss working with them. I didn’t end up having the best experience with the day of coordinator I booked but, I still felt confident knowing the WF team was there overseeing everything and wouldn’t let anything bad happen. I know they played a huge part in how seamless and beautiful my day was. They just went above and beyond. Anytime I had a question or needed anything maybe a little out of the ordinary, they responded so quickly and did whatever they could to make it happen! Not to mention, the venue itself is gorgeous and unique. Our guests LOVED it. The bar and bartenders were incredible, you will not get a better cocktail situation at another venue. Our gusts kept raving about how rare it is to get a craft cocktail made to perfection with high end liquor at a wedding. If you want to have the best day ever and with beautiful pictures and the best drink experience, this is the place for you! TY again to the WF team!!!! We loved every minute working with you and every minute of our big day!

The venue looked better then I could have ever imagined and they helped set up a few smaller things like our welcome table and wine station and they went above and beyond.

The venue space is absolutely stunning and everything I wanted. And the guest could not stop taking about how spectacular it was. I was a bit nervous having the cocktail hour downstairs as this was a working space but the team completely transformed it and I was blown away with just how perfect it was. Even the third floor lounge that we got to hide in while the guest started to arrive was so perfect and intimate. And the drinks…ahh the DRINKS! So good!!! We got so many compliments about just how good they were!! They literally went above and beyond with EVERYTHING! Months before our original date was suppose to start, we lost our ceremony location and the Whiskey Factory stepped in, calmed me down, and explained exactly how we could reset the upstairs venue from ceremony to reception. Then covid happened and the Whiskey Factory was so understanding and easy to work with to change our dates. And then covid kept happening and the team didn’t bat an eye when I asked to reschedule a second time. They were so so so easy to work with. So helpful with planning and execution. Would absolutely recommend them over and over again.

The entire booking process was very seamless and super transparent which I loved and made for easy planning during a stressful time. TWF is a blank canvas which allows you to be creative, bring in the vendors you WANT to work with and the industrial building paired with the amazing bar, barrels and string lights provides vibes that are...immaculate. Not to mention, you're getting married in a literal Whiskey Factory, if that doesn't tell your guests you are ready for a good time, idk what does!! The day of was absolutely perfect; our on site coordinator, AJ was there every single step of the way ensuring our vendors had everything they needed, ensuring the bridal party knew what they were doing and even jumped in a helped to bustle my dress, bonus points for joining us out on the dance floor to celebrate the amazing night!

We were finally able to have our wedding on June 5 2021 after postponing from 2020. The WF was the BEST. Everything ran smoothly, perfectly, and was so stress free and FUN.

Having our wedding here was the best decision we could have made. Because of COVID, there were so many times we had to pivot from the original plan. But Alyssa helped us through it (over the course of 2 years) and worked with us/our wedding planner to solidify our wedding. And it was PERFECT. Everything ran smoothly on wedding day and our guests were raving about how unique and beautiful the venue was, as well as the delicious cocktails. Many many thanks for the team's professionalism and attention to detail. Our wedding exceeded our expectations and was a dream come true.

The Whiskey Factory was one of our original contenders for our wedding; due to other factors, we went with an alternative venue. However, when COVID forced us to replan with a minimony... the Whiskey Factory came to the rescue. Alyssa (Event Sales Manager) was prompt when answering emails (of which there were many!) and was gracious enough to work with both myself (planning from the East Coast) and my parents to get everything set up. Caitlyn (Event Coordinator) was wonderful to have (on top of our own day of coordinator). She reached out to ensure that drinks were set up correctly, the day of... she helped with staging for photos, including making sure we got some shots on the rooftop. They made the day easy - with florals, a beautiful head table with candles, bluetooth speaker. The venue itself is just cool - the bar is beautiful, the aesthetic of the whiskey barrels and industrial feel is unique. The premade cocktails were beyond delectable. Shout out to TwoUnique Catering for the amazing charcuterie boxes. (We took extras of both with us on our honeymoon!)This was not the wedding as we originally planned and it was perfect and we are so glad the Whiskey Factory was available on short notice.

Since they opened.. the whiskey factory have been my dream venue. Everything was perfect, the girls were great with planning, the venue fit my theme perfectly and the drink tasting was fun! The organization on the day, the decorating and the drinks were stellar. It was a little loud during reception but expected with lots of people in a warehouse. I wish I could do it all over again with my whole list once covid is over. Thank you, The McGowans!

I don’t even know where to begin writing this review for the most perfect venue. When we first got engaged we knew right away that we wanted a more relaxed environment with an industrial vibe. We toured a few venues that didn’t quite hit the mark until we visited The Whiskey Factory and we immediately fell in love! It is such a unique space from the cocktail hour on the first floor to the dinner/party on the second floor. The beautiful bar, the pillars, the whiskey barrels; you really don’t need to add much to this space because it already has so much character! Planning a wedding is stressful enough on its own, and with a pandemic on top we felt hopeless at times, but Alyssa did such an excellent job helping us navigate and still pull off our dream wedding! Words cannot describe what Alyssa and The Whiskey Factory did to make our experience so easy and effortless. Alyssa was in constant communication with me during everything and I cannot thank her enough. When we first walked upstairs and saw our space it was everything I had envisioned and more. I was speechless and I started to cry, being so overwhelmed that it looked even better than I had planned! It was truly the best day of our lives and our guests are still raving about The Whiskey Factory! They were so impressed with how awesome of a venue it was along with the incredible cocktails and signature drinks, which were so fun and unique. They threw us an awesome party and they will forever hold a special place in our heart! You will not be disappointed with what they will provide!!! ❤️

The space at the Whiskey Factory is beautiful. It is beaming with character and very little is needed to spruce it up and make it special. The cocktails are fantastic and are sure to be a standout feature of your event. Most importantly, the staff is warm and kind, willing to jump in and help at a moment’s notice. My wedding was originally scheduled for Spring of 2020 and had to be rescheduled because of pandemic restrictions. Alyssa and her team were incredibly patient and understanding. By the time we finally got married almost a year later, I felt like they were family. They did everything possible to ensure our day was perfect, going above and beyond to help us cross the finish line (finally). I am eternally grateful I chose the Whiskey Factory for my venue, and I can’t recommend it enough.

We were hesitant at first, only because how beautiful the indoor space was but her and her team made a Detroit parking lot space into a dream wedding event. And she even gave us our minimony of ten people upstairs that just made it perfect. The whole staff was amazing, everyone raved about the bartenders and the food set up that we were able to pick out with Alyssa's recommendation as well, two unique catering company who also worked with all of us to really make our day perfect. I would highly recommend this amazing place, indoor or or outdoor, they did amazing!!

We were also able to take pictures outside the warehouse at some graffitied buildings nearby. The staff was very easy-going, friendly and answered all our questions. The process was very simple and stress free - especially the cocktail tasting. Honestly the tasting was a lasting memory in itself with my parents joining in. My guests couldn't stop talking about how great the venue and drinks were. It was a hit and I thank the Whiskey Factory for making my wedding a night to remember.

We booked with The Whiskey Factory in Dec 2018 for our Feb 2020 wedding. There was a change in event staff, but there were n't problems until our wedding day. At our event, we had multiple problems with TWF. After, I sent TWF a detailed email with the issues below. Their response was “we did nothing wrong”. I pushed back saying that we did not receive what we paid for in services. Their final response was “Our lawyer will handle it”. We talked with their lawyer. He apologized for our dissatisfaction and expressed concern for potential ‘defamation’ by one of my guests that I had mentioned in my emails. His response was that we would be able to get some money back for services not rendered IF WE PROVIDED CONTACT INFO FOR THE GUEST. (We requested $1000 returned). TWF lawyer followed up after a few days, offering $500 for our dissatisfaction, again needing to provide the contact info. At that point, it became clear that TWF did not care about our experience or service, they were only interested in talking with my guest about “potential defamation”. We did not accept their offer and have walked away from the situation all together. I would never recommend this establishment. They don’t respect your event, time, or the high price tag you pay for their service. 1) The elevator broke between cocktail hour and dinner. We had several guests with mobility issues, including a guest in a wheelchair. It was resolved by the security team carrying the guest up the two huge flights of stairs. I don’t know if this was my planner’s doing or TWF’s offer. 2) The drink package that we selected, Riopelle Tasting Room was supposed to be served. However, during cocktail hour they served only 3 Artisanal Batch Cocktails from punch jars. We discussed the cocktail hour setup at the final walkthrough on Jan 25, where Alyssa confirmed it would be served at the full bar upstairs. 3) The 3 TWF selected batch cocktails continued to be served from the full bar, even after our planner spoke with Lindsey, the on site event staff, explaining that punch was not a part of the package we selected. Guests were able to order the other 14 cocktails handmade, but TWF selected the 3 most popular to serve as punch, to speed up service for my 50 guests. The batch cocktails degraded over time, later the appearance became murky, gray and very unappealing. I want to be clear that the batch versions of the cocktails are not comparable to the handcrafted, nor are they batch served at the Tasting Room. 4) The bartenders had tip jars out. We were told that the required 25% service fee was to guarantee that they would not accept tips on the night of our event. The bar staff removed their tip jars when asked. 5) One of the bartenders continually made different versions of the cocktails than the other. Some were not drinkable and replaced, which was done promptly when pointed out. I was only aware of a few instances at the event, but on Sunday several of my guests let me know that they had issues with the drinks as well. 6) TWF had event parking for a concert parked in the same lot as our guests, although the contract states that shared parking is only on Detroit Lions game days. This was a problem for getting the wheelchair bound guest out of the building because the event parking staff had parked concert-goers on TWF loading ramp. 7) TWF events staff allowed a factory tour of 20 people to come up to the venue area during our booked time, directly before the ceremony.

We chose The Whiskey Factory as our wedding venue because we felt like it was unique and really suited our personalities. We worked with Teddy from the day we toured the venue up until our wedding day, and they couldn’t have chosen a better person to represent The Whiskey Factory. Teddy is an overall good person and was always easy to contact with any questions we had. Like a lot of similar venues, the only downside of The Whiskey Factory is that we had to bring in catering, tables, chairs, etc. However, they did provide a list of recommended vendors, and the catering company we chose, Two Unique, was able to coordinate all of that. I would highly recommend The Whiskey Factory for anyone who wants to celebrate Detroit in a fun and unique atmosphere.

My wife and I were absolutely blown away by the Whiskey Factory and everything they did for our wedding. We could not have found a better person to help plan our big day than Teddy. It was the first venue we looked at, and afterwards it was difficult to even compare other venues to. Simply nothing else was even close. It didn't take long to decide on the Whiskey Factory. Teddy made herself available whenever we needed it, even for the most mundane of questions she was super responsive. She worked hand in hand with all of our other vendors, who all came from different companies. It was a lot of coordination and the Whiskey Factory absolutely pulled it off. All of this besides the obvious of being a beautiful place overall. We received so many compliments on our choice of venue all night and afterward.Their drink packages were awesome, and after a night of tasting many potential cocktails at the tasting room in Eastern Market, they knew exactly what we wanted and guided us on making a menu that would have great options for everyone in attendance. If you are getting married in Detroit, you can't go wrong with the Whiskey Factory. And if you aren't, you really should.

Teddy made herself available whenever we needed it, even for the most mundane of questions she was super responsive. She worked hand in hand with all of our other vendors, who all came from different companies. It was a lot of coordination and the Whiskey Factory absolutely pulled it off. All of this besides the obvious of being a beautiful place overall. We received so many compliments on our choice of venue all night and afterward.Their drink packages were awesome, and after a night of tasting many potential cocktails at the tasting room in Eastern Market, they knew exactly what we wanted and guided us on making a menu that would have great options for everyone in attendance. If you are getting married in Detroit, you can't go wrong with the Whiskey Factory. And if you aren't, you really should.

Picking this venue was the first, easiest, and best decision I made. Teddy is amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process, the bartenders were phenomenal, and the coordinators AJ and Troy just made everything run impeccably on my wedding day. I honestly did have anything to even slightly freak out about the entire day knowing it was all being taken care of. Plus, the venue itself is BEAUTIFUL. We ended up not being able to take photos outside before the wedding as originally planned due to the weather, so we just went straight to the venue instead and found a ton of wonderful photo opportunities. My one (slight) complaint is that the bartenders did get my groomsmen pretty sloshed before my ceremony. I'd recommend they not do that in the future :)

I can't say enough wonderful things about this venue. We were looking for a rustic space that could host our reception and ceremony. From the second we walked in we had an exciting feeling about the space. One piece that sealed the deal for us was the event coordinator, Teddy. She is so kind and welcoming, she immediately made us feel like we belonged. We were able to have our ceremony downstairs in the space where they distill the whiskey. There are whiskey barrels throughout, giving it a nice touch. An added bonus is that the barrels can double as cocktail tables. You can add in a strolling tour for cocktail hour which explains their process. Upstairs is a historic event space with a gorgeous bar. At this bar, they served our guests the most delicious drinks. Every single guest said that these were the best cocktails they have EVER had. We were able to offer a 'His & Hers' option at cocktail hour and into the reception, both were huge hits. The cocktail menu they displayed at the reception was only a small glimpse into the talents of the bar staff. Everything was delicious! I can't say enough great things about this venue. From the staff to the drinks to the atmosphere, everything was excellent. You will have a night to remember at The Whiskey Factory!

This venue was everything I wanted for my wedding and more. My now husband and I moved to Detroit a few years ago and have since dug our roots deep into the city. Having the wedding in Detroit meant our many out-of-state friends and family would be getting their first impression of the city at our wedding. It was important to us that we chose a venue that embodied the spirit of Detroit, showcasing not only the gritty industrial underside, but the parisian and hollowed-out elegance of the city. Detroit City Distillery was perfect. From the time we reached out to Teddy, we had someone who was dedicated to our vision and our local team. Our guests were completely blown away by the reception and the venue. The acoustics from our live band filled the space without overpowering it. The gorgeous and large antique wood bar at the far end added rough elegance and meant our guests could steadily enjoy the open tab without stacking up and congesting the dining area or dance floor. The bartenders were adept and friendly while still remaining professional and attentive. The open concept floor plan meant we could do what we wanted to the space, which involved a long rectangular high-top running down the center of the room for the wedding party and family while dozens of 8-top round tables littered the surrounding space for a strolling reception. It was the perfect size for our 200 person wedding, not too big to make the space feel empty, and not too small to get hot or feel crowded. Flowers and tablecloths perfectly softened the industrial cement floor and factory windows into a bohemian loft-like space. From the time our guests arrived for cocktail hour, to our wedding party joining for first entry, to the cake cutting, first dance, toasts, and sparkler exit, the whole procession flowed seamlessly and naturally thanks to Teddy and her team. I was never worried about making sure I had something to eat, drink, or shoo my grandmother away when she requested the 40th photo with my cousins. DCD made our guests feel welcome and immediately immersed into the city's scene. I would recommend them to anyone looking to celebrate an authentic Detroit wedding with some damn good cocktails.

First things first... not only did i love this venue but my friends and family LOVED this venue. But real quick here's a little back story, my wedding venue was effected by the California wildfires so I had to re-plan my wedding in four days. I contacted whiskey factory and they immediately were willing to do whatever they could to assist me and pull off what seemed like the impossible. All of their staff are so easy to work with and really accommodating. The venue is perfect if you are looking for something intimate and unique. We were one of the first couples to have the actual ceremony at the venue and it turned out more beautiful than I had imagined. The drinks were beyond amazing and my friends and family have not stopped raving about our special day. Although the plans changed and I was not able to have my original venue, I can' t imagine my wedding anywhere else now.

You need to have your wedding or event here. The space is absolutely gorgeous, the drinks were incredibly delicious and Teddy & her staff were AMAZING. I am a very take charge, detailed bride, Teddy answered every question quickly and simply, she never once got frustrated with me and my millions of questions and she guided us through things we hadn't even thought of. I've never had so many compliments about an event I did until this one. 1000% recommend The Whiskey Factory Detroit.

As self-labeled alcohol connoisseurs, we were already huge fans of Detroit City Distillery’s tasting room in Eastern Market and huge fans of their specialty cocktail “Long Arm of the Law,” but we knew when we saw their event space in the old Stroh’s plant that it was the perfect place to have our wedding reception. We worked with Teddy, who may be the nicest person I’ve ever met. She is very responsive to emails and is always on top of things. She coordinated so much for us and went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. It helps that every vendor we worked with commented on how much they love her. The Whiskey Factory staff hung about 150 feet of string lights for us the night before the wedding. The bartenders were always smiling, very patient, and very friendly with our guests and of course everyone loved the alcohol. We got to pick two beers from our nearby favorite breweries to serve at the wedding as well. The old freight elevator, the graffiti, and the skyline are cherries on top the already beautiful sundae of a venue. We had the perfect wedding here! If you are even considering using them for your wedding, book them now!

This venue exceeded all of my (and my guests!) expectations. I was a bit nervous because this is a newer venue and I am an out-of-state bride. Teddy, the wedding coordinator at the Factory, put me at ease; she was incredibly attentive, thorough and a pleasure to work with. The Factory is super cool and a different vibe than a traditional, cookie-cutter wedding, yet checks all the boxes of your typical reception. It has an industrial look with the exposed brick & whiskey barrels and dressed up beautifully with our flower arrangements. We were able to offer signature cocktails and added a twist with new names that had special meaning to our guests. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend to any bride & groom. If you're looking for a memorable, one- of-a-kind reception experience, then this is your spot!
