On WeddingWire since 2016

Located in Three Oaks, Michigan, Journeyman Distillery is a rustic wedding venue. With its exposed wood interior and generously sized windows, your guests can enjoy breathtaking sunsets and views. This remodeled factory is located in the heart of Michigan's Harbor Country and is a short drive from various urban centers. It was lovingly renovated in 2010 by Johanna and Bill Welter and is fitted with modern conveniences alongside historic charm.

Facilities and Capacity

Journeyman Distillery's event spaces can accommodate anywhere from 25 to 300 of your closest family and friends. With indoor and uncovered outdoor options, couples are sure to find the right venue for their dream day. They can begin the day by preparing in an on-site get-ready room, helping them to spend time with their party in a private setting. The largest event space, Warren Hall, is an 8,000 square foot room with a capacity of 350 guests for cocktail receptions. It also welcomes ceremonies with 300 seated attendees. Reclaimed wooden floors and exposed beams lend a rustic feel, while the tall windows bathe the setting in natural light. This hall is also well-suited for receptions, thanks to the bar. A catering kitchen also shares the floor. More intimate gatherings can be held in The Grainery, which has a seating capacity of 150. It overlooks the distillery and features a copper-topped bar.

Perfect Wedding Venue! Highly Recommend!

The absolute best venue for a wedding. The staff was so wonderful to work with from day 1, and so gracious on the day of our event. They offer so many options to personalize your day and make it special, and are extremely accommodating. The food was delicious, the space is beautiful, and the day-of event staff was so kind and helpful! This will always be a special place for us! Would highly recommend Journeyman Distillery if you are looking for a wedding venue!

Beautiful Venue

Truly an amazing venue! Journeyman Distillery made our wedding day perfect! We did not have to spend much on bringing in our own decorations because the space is so beautiful on its own.
The food was delicious and the drinks were excellent as well. We received many comments from our guests the day after the wedding saying that it was the best food and drinks they had ever had at a wedding.
Leading up to the wedding we went through a couple different event managers, but Corrine was awesome to work with in the last couple months before our wedding; she was very responsive and made sure to keep us at ease. Johanna is also very down to earth and easy to work with.
The day of our wedding was perfect and our day-of lead for the event, Rick, was on top of everything and was always there to help if we needed anything. We felt he really cared about making our day run as smooth as possible and he really made us feel welcomed.

The best night of our lives! 7/15/2023

Journeyman is truly a one-of-a-kind venue. Johanna and her entire team made the process so seamless and fun. Not to mention the day of service was amazing - Rick and his wife (venue management) took care of us the entire day and always made sure we had a drink or food in our hands!

The space itself is stunning and the food is amazing. Some of the best wedding food we've ever had and our guests agree! The amount of people who told us it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to warmed our hearts and made us so happy. Choosing Journeyman was the best decision we've ever made.

If you are looking for a unique venue for your wedding day Journeyman is IT!

I have been a member of the Journeyman Team since August 2022, and am dedicated to the highest level of professionalism throughout the Venue booking process. I will take you through first contact, tour, proposal, and the booking process seeminglessly!

Before Journeyman, you could find me in the skies as a Flight Attendant for Southwest Airlines! I absolutely love working with people, in the air or booking their venue. You can rest assured you are in great hands!

When I'm not working, I enjoy travelling, spending time with my family, and relaxing at the beach!

We pride ourselves on offering all-inclusive packages for weddings. We have an in-house catering kitchen, food and bar packages, and we offer 2 packages with party favors and late night snacks!

I look forward to assisting you through the process!
