Drowned Lands Brewery

The Drowned Lands has been a favorite spot of my husband and me for years, so when it came time to celebrate our elopement, there was no better place to choose. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how immaculate the venue was. We opted for a December celebration, and the natural coziness of the space — even without adding much decor — provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. Throughout the evening, we enjoyed outstanding cocktails and beer, with the bar staff being both attentive and incredibly skilled at keeping up with the high demand. The food was fresh, plentiful, and perfectly suited to the style of party we envisioned. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the hardworking team that made it all come to life.

My husband, Lucas, and I decided to get married at Drowned Lands Brewery because we’ve gone there many times and always loved the decor/vibe of the place. We enjoy their craft beer and casual indoor/outdoor atmosphere. We originally booked in October 2023, before they had a full kitchen, and before they hired their new events director, Cristie. The year between our booking date and our wedding date was a big transition year for them as a wedding venue. As expected, there seemed to be a few growing pains while they developed their new offerings, but once we began working with Cristie she really catered to us to make sure we had the wedding we were promised in our original contract. She executed changes to their staffing and flow to ensure we had the best possible experience with no hiccups. Our wedding day was an absolute dream!! We lucked out with gorgeous late fall weather and the grounds made for amazing photos. Cristie was so professional and went above and beyond to keep everything going smoothly. The bar manager, Shannon, was also a huge help. Lucas and I were greeted with our favorite hazy IPA, and from there we were offered drinks and food from cocktail hour without even asking while we were mingling with guests. One of the most fun parts of the day was when Cristie offered my parents and I a ride on the golf cart into the ceremony. We walked down through the tap room to cheers and whistles on our way to the golf cart and when we arrived at the ceremony site our guests went crazy! The upstairs reception room is so beautiful that couples only need minimal decor to set the scene. We had just under 120 guests and were nervous about fitting everyone and ensuring there was a big enough dance floor (our top priority). The space was perfect!! We had 12 tables and the dance floor was amazing. It was such an intimate atmosphere and everyone there told us they felt comfortable and at home in the space. We got lots of comments about how good the food was. Top favorites were the mashed potatoes, brisket, and salmon. We were able to choose the beers served on tap and some signature cocktails, people raved about the seasonal Sangria. The additional space of the upstairs deck was a game changer!! It was nice to be able to get some air or take a little time away from the music. We did not do a full buyout of the venue which means that the downstairs and some outdoor areas were open to the public . This absolutely added to the magic of the day, as all the customers were respectful of our space and truly seemed to enjoy seeing the wedding. Our ceremony was held outside in front of 3 majestic trees with the sun glowing on a field in the background. Overall I absolutely recommend Drowned Lands as a wedding venue. Friendly staff, delicious food, great beer, and lovely vibes. Thank you for helping us have the best day!!

We got married on October 5th and had about 80 guests. We rented the upstairs and the balcony with our ceremony down the hill by the creek. It was such a beautiful day, and Drowned Lands made it nothing short of magical. Leading up, Cristie and I communicated largely via email, but she was very responsive to our every question and need. The day of was amazing. Shannon helped us coordinate set up and Natalie helped us during the day. They made sure everything went great and made sure we had a drink in our hands all day. Would recommend for weddings or events of any kind!

We loved Drowned Lands Brewery so much from the first time we visited until our wedding day! The atmosphere inside and outside make you feel so relaxed and happy. We rented only the upstairs and balcony for our wedding of about 120 and it was perfect! We had our ceremony on the lawn down the hill and got spoiled with the most stunning weather. The team at Drowned Lands went above and beyond for our day. Cristie was our main point of contact with the venue and she was great and super responsive throughout the process. Shannon the bar manager was also great throughout the whole process and even helped some of our elderly guests down the hill for the ceremony. I highly recommend this beautiful venue for your wedding! One of my favorite parts was that we needed little to no decor because the venue itself is stunning and the tableware/tables provided gave the perfect rustic feel. It has so many great spots outside and inside for photos. The drinks and food here were also exceptional. We knew we loved the beer already but the wine and cocktails served were also amazing! Highly recommend for your wedding day and also just to visit and have a beer!

We absolutely loved our wedding at Drowned Lands Brewery! The entire venue is absolutely beautiful and truly requires minimal decorations. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the wedding planning process and even more so on the day of the wedding. Drowned Lands now has a menu of food options to choose from as well, which wasn't yet available at the time of my wedding, but is incredibly convenient for any future couples. We had our ceremony on the lawn, reception in the upstairs room, and our after party on the deck. Our guests are still talking about our wedding being the perfect mix of relaxed, yet still formal, with an intimate setting. The event team provided me with a list of curated cocktails to use as our signature drinks. We were then able to name them to personalize them to us as a couple. The top hit at our wedding was the gimlet, but everyone loved all of the drinks and of course, the beer! The property is also absolutely stunning for wedding photos, and you won't need to go far from the property to take any. We love returning to Drowned Lands often to enjoy a few beers and reminisce on our wedding day. We will continue to visit for the years to come.
