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.

Whatever your dream wedding looks like this superb venue will provide a timeless backdrop that will ensure that you savor every last drop.

We cannot stress enough how perfect this venue is! We used The Whiskey Factory for our November 2024 wedding and are still receiving compliments from our guests as to how personalized and unique the space was, truly reflecting us as a couple. From our first walk through, to cocktail tasting and all the in-betweens, every single staff member we met with made us feel so welcome all while being incredibly organized and attentive. The entire wedding planning process was low-stress and very fun. We look forward to hearing “That was the most fun we’ve had at a wedding” and “We never knew spaces like this existed, this is the coolest place to get married” for the rest of our lives! Thank you to everyone at The Whiskey Factory for making our wedding vision come to life and be a day even more incredible than we could have imagined!!!

The Whiskey Factory made our wedding on 9/7/24 an absolute dream! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The venue itself is breathtaking with every detail meticulously crafted to create a stunning, intimate atmosphere. But what truly set this place apart was the incredible support staff. Amelia, Abby, and all the other staff went above and beyond in every way. The coordination and communication leading up to the day were seamless, and on the big day, the staff made everything run effortlessly. They took care of every little detail so we could focus on enjoying the moment. From helping with last-minute requests to keeping everything on schedule, their dedication and care were evident at every turn.
Our wedding day truly felt magical, and it was all thanks to the incredible team at Whiskey Factory. We can't recommend it enough for couples looking for a perfect, stress-free celebration. Truly unforgettable!

We used the Whiskey Factory in Fall 2024 as our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception event space and so glad we did!
Working with Amelia, Alyssa and the Whiskey Factory team was a DREAM. We immediately knew after our walk through of the venue space that it definitely fit the “vibe” we were going for, but as many other brides, I wasn’t sure where to begin with planning our wedding. Both Amelia and Alyssa were very helpful in being quick to respond to our questions as they came to us, made sure to be very detailed in their responses and even shared what previous couples did for their wedding to provide us some inspiration, which helped us a lot with our decision making. Our wedding day began with some unexpected complications with parking, but Amelia was very calm, organized and handled the stress of the situation with grace. She kept my other vendors well informed on what was happening, all while dealing with the chaos and it was resolved before guests arrived. We were blown away at how beautiful the space looked. It perfectly accommodated our 120 guests and felt very intimate and cozy without feeling too tight. We also received MANY high praises from our guests relating to the space, the fun Detroit City Distillery cocktails and delicious food from Two Unique Catering – pro tip: get the short rib! Only negative comment we heard was in relation to the cocktail hour downstairs - we chose not to spend extra money, but some low-lighting or additional seating would have helped create more ambiance. All in all, it was a perfect evening, and we are forever grateful to the amazing staff for helping us make it so memorable!

I can’t even begin to express how much we loved this wedding venue. We toured and booked before we were even engaged because of how perfect it was. After we left the tour, the first thing that my mom talked about was how well put together everything was. You could just immediately tell that they have an excellent system in place. We worked with Amelia, Abby, and Alyssa and they were all amazing. All of the communication and coordination was flawless. Wedding day was seamless. We have heard nothing but wonderful things from our guests on venue, food, and drinks. I know all of the reviews may make it seem too good to be true…but I promise it actually is this good. Book it!

The Whiskey Factory was an absolute dream of a wedding venue. The entire process was so much fun and low stress from the day they showed us the space all the way up to our wedding day! Their team is extremely on top of things, very responsive and they made sure our vision came to life with ease. The cocktails and food (shout out TwoUnique) were hands down the best drinks and food we’ve ever had at a wedding, our guests still talk about it a year later. Their day-of coordination was impeccable, everything went so smoothly. It was the most perfect day, I would choose them over and over again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the dreamiest wedding!

We couldn't be happier with The Whiskey Factory! They went above and beyond. The team is incredibly responsive, professional, and personable. We had so much fun at our cocktail tasting. Their drinks are excellent. The day of our wedding it was so clear they had everything under control. We appreciated their hard to work to ensure everything ran smoothly. They know what they are doing for a wedding - helping us with timing and room layouts and all around making it stress free for the bride and groom. Our guests all raved about the space, drinks, and food.

We had our wedding at The Whiskey Factory in August, and we couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out! From the start, Amelia was a huge help—she was always responsive, easy to work with, and made the entire planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, Alyssa went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She helped us with a few last-minute details and also made sure the ceremony flowed perfectly. The drinks were a big hit with our guests and they loved the cocktail hour in the production area. The food, provided by Two Unique, was awesome. Our guests kept complimenting the food all night. The venue’s ambiance was exactly what we envisioned—a cool, unique space with a great vibe. We wish we could relive the night over again!

We are so happy that we chose the Whiskey Factory as our wedding venue! From the first time we toured The Whiskey Factory, we fell in love with the casual, comfortable vibe that the space gave, and we knew it fit our vision perfectly. The Whiskey Factory’s partnership with Two Unique makes catering and rentals so easy and not at all overwhelming. We worked extensively with Amelia throughout the planning process who was always so sweet, professional, and happy to answer my countless questions in the months leading up to our wedding day. Their checklists leading up to the wedding took off a lot of stress and put me at ease that I was not forgetting anything. The cocktail tasting was SO fun, and one of our favorite parts of the planning process!
Fast forward to wedding day–our wedding could not have gone more perfectly! We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue, and their room flip process was so seamless for our guests! The Whiskey Factory’s bar tenders are quick and personable, and our guests loved that they never had to wait for a drink. We also purchased an empty barrel for our guests to sign, which has become an awesome addition to our basement bar! Our guests raved about how good the specialty cocktails, beer, and other drinks were, and how cool and unique the venue was. We will forever relive our perfect day and cannot recommend the Whiskey Factory enough. Thank you Amelia, Alyssa, and The Whiskey Factory Team!

Our wedding at The Whiskey Factory in Detroit was nothing short of magical. The venue is a true gem, seamlessly blending industrial chic with cozy elegance. With its freshly repainted walls, whiskey barrels adorning the space, and a stunning long wooden bar, it provided a breathtaking backdrop for our celebration.
The staff at The Whiskey Factory were exceptional. Their warmth and attentiveness made our experience unforgettable. We received countless compliments from our guests about how friendly and accommodating the team was. A special shoutout goes to Amelia, whose help during both the rehearsal and the wedding day was invaluable. Her genuine kindness and professionalism were a delight, and she played a key role in making our day run smoothly.
Catering by TwoUnique was another highlight. The food was not only exquisite but also handled with impressive efficiency. They expertly catered to all dietary needs and served all 200 guests simultaneously—a feat that added to the seamless flow of our reception.
In every aspect, The Whiskey Factory exceeded our expectations. From its stunning setting to its top-notch service and delectable catering, it was worth every penny. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking to create a memorable and extraordinary event in Detroit.

I'd like to start by saying that Amelia, one of the event coordinators at the Whiskey Factory is AMAZING. Seriously such a great person and so easy to work with. She hosted my husband and I with two friends for the cocktail tasting and we really felt comfortable with her. The entire process from start to finish with the Whiskey Factory was seamless and perfect. My mom had zero interaction with the team until our wedding day and did not stop complimenting them - Amelia especially. Once it was time for her to leave, she had another member of her team assisting us (I wish I remember her name but I don't- I'm sorry) and she was also so great. She made sure things were happening when they needed to throughout the reception. The venue itself is so cool. It's been a month since our wedding and our guests have not stopped mentioning how unique and awesome and yet still beautiful everything was. Our signature cocktails were an absolute hit - we had the cherry bomb, rye on fire, and Idol hands. Everything really was amazing and I'm so glad we chose this venue. Thank you to the Whiskey Factory team for all the time and effort.

For months leading up to the big day Amelia and Bethany were my go-to gals and were always available to answer every question.

We got married at the Whiskey Factory in September of 2023 and I can't imagine us choosing any other venue. The industrial, moody vibe was just what we wanted. We were able to customize the space; picking the tables, chairs and linens we wanted and working with the WF team to create a floor plan. So many of our guests commented on the unique atmosphere. They also couldn't stop raving about the next level DCD cocktails and delicious food through Two Unique.
The whole WF team was so kind, patient and responsive throughout the planning process. Alyssa, Amelia and Bethany were absolute pros the day of, making sure everything was running smoothly, keeping us calm and ensuring that each moment was special. I wish we could go back and do it all over again!

We are so grateful we were able to have our wedding ceremony and reception at The Whiskey Factory - Detroit City Distillery. From the moment we booked the venue to the time the last guest left, the team at The Whiskey Factory made us feel like we were the only two people on earth getting married that day. Bethany was a dream to work with for the planning, and her cohort Alyssa is also top notch. No call went unanswered, no email not promptly returned, and no detail was missed. The day of your wedding is always a little nerve wracking, and to see the entire team pull it off so seamlessly was beyond impressive. We talked to several other venues and none of them seemed as dialed in as the staff at The Whiskey Factory. For us not having an actual wedding planner and doing it all ourselves, Bethany and Alyssa made us feel comfortable and took so much of the extra work and stress off our plates. If you're getting married in Detroit, The Whiskey Factory - Detroit City Distillery should without a doubt be a venue to consider.

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.

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.

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.

First off, the whole experience with this venue and their workers has been absolutely extraordinary! 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.
The Whiskey Factory seriously could not be more perfect. If you're looking for a unique venue with great service, look no further!!

We could not have found a more perfect venue than The Whiskey Factory! We fell in love with everything the Whiskey Factory had to offer. The entire WF team were extremely helpful and very professional. Especially, Caitlyn and Alyssa who were our main point of contact from day one, and they made the entire process easy and enjoyable. They were also available to answer any questions we had. Our wedding day was everything I wanted it to be, and The Whiskey Factory will always hold a special place in our heart!

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.

I got Married august 12,2022 and having my wedding at the whiskey factory was the best decision we could have ever made! From the moment we took our first tour we fell inlove with the space. Alyssa, Caitlyn and the entire WF team were amazing. I dont Think there was one bad thing that happened on our day ( and if it did, they didn’t even bat an eye and I never Knew) oh! And they make BOMB cocktails!! Don’t even think twice about having your wedding here! It’s so versatile and they let you make the space your own and create your own look. It was amazing!!

I don't even know where to begin. From the moment we went on our venue tour, my husband and I knew this was the perfect venue for us. The event team made the planning process and the day of even better. 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. Our guests absolutely loved the drinks and we received so many compliments saying this was the coolest and most unique venue they had ever been to. We could not have asked for a better place to have our dream wedding, and we will miss working with working with this team!

Yes, the drinks are as amazing as they sound. Yes, the venue is stunning. Yes, you and your guests will love the unique wedding experience TWF offers. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Our experience with TWF and their team was incredible from start to finish. After almost 2 years of planning, and helping us with everything from custom bridal party proposal gifts to setting up the small details we brought with us the day of, TWF team really brought our dream day to life. During the planning process, Alyssa and Caitlyn were always quick to respond to our emails and were happy to answer all of our questions. 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.

WOW--what a spectacular venue run by a spectacular team. We were nothing but impressed during our entire experience booking, planning, and finally celebrating with the Whiskey Factory. 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 best decision we made was having our wedding here! Not only is the venue amazing looking the staff is amazing! Caitlyn and Alyssa along with the rest of the staff is incredible. They answered emails within a timely manner and were very good on giving many options on how to use the space and vendors to work with. The day of the wedding their service was outstanding. 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. We also had our ceremony here and then the space was flipped during cocktail hour to the reception and it all happened seamlessly. I can not thank the staff enough for everything they did to make our wedding amazing!

We can’t say enough great things about our experience at the Whiskey Factory! From the uniqueness of the space, to the yummy drinks, to the incredible staff we can’t recommend The Whiskey Factory enough.
We were sold on it being our venue in January of 2020 for a May 2021 event…of course, the pandemic had other plans for us and we chose to reschedule to April 30, 2022. Throughout all of the uncertainty, Alyssa, Caitlyn and the rest of the staff were incredible. They were very responsive to our questions, and very flexible with us over the 2+ years we worked together.
Our guests all raves about the venue, the cocktails, and the staff, too. The space is truly unique and beautiful, we saw a handful of other venues but they did not feel like “us.”
Brynn and Caitlyn were with us the day of and they made sure everything was flawless for us.
If you’re considering The Whiskey Factory for your special day, do it. You will have the day of your dreams, just like we did!
Thank you, Whiskey Factory, we absolutely love you!

It was an absolute dream working with this venue and their staff. Caitlyn and Alyssa were incredible from start to finish! From the moment we stepped into the venue for our tour they were thorough, enthusiastic and passionate about providing an amazing event space. The aesthetic and vibe of the venue are incredible and having amazing staff to help coordinate our dream wedding was absolute perfection. They were knowledgeable, prompt with communication and checked in with us frequently to provide us recs and see if we needed anything. They have an incredible vendor rec list they provide as well! And bonus, they are now aligned with 2 Unique for catering (seriously amazing food and service). They also provided us checklists along the way so we knew throughout the whole wedding planning process where we should be at in terms of decisions and coordination. I can’t speak enough to how wonderful it was to work with them and this venue. They exceeded our expectations and we had so many compliments for many guests in regards to the venue and supporting staff. Would highly recommend this venue for any event, it truly is a great space with even better staff.

From start to finish working with Alyssa, Caitlyn and the rest of the Whiskey Factory was the most amazing experience for us. There is so much to rant and rave about them. 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.

I can't say enough good things about the Whiskey Factory as our wedding experience was exceptional. We had great communication with our contacts from our walk through day 1 up to the day of our wedding. 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!

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.

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.

Could not have picked a better spot for my wedding!! Of course due to Covid restrictions we were almost forced to cancel our event due to 10 person max at their indoor venue but Alyssa who worked with us from day one came up with the brilliant idea to have it outside. 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!!
