  • Perfect venue for a non-traditional wedding!

    For couples who do not want a ballroom/traditional wedding venue, Kingfly is the perfect place. My husband and I used Kingfly for our December wedding for both the ceremony and reception. While the space isn't necessarily great for a ceremony and I was nervous about how it work practically, I ended up really liking it. While we had 170 guests, we ended up having a more intimate ceremony with only 16 guests and the wedding party around us while the rest of the guests were further away due to only space limitations. Looking back, I actually think this was perfect because the ceremony felt so much more intimate than it would have been in a more traditional ceremony space. It is perfect for a reception space! The space is two floors and loft style. We used the upstairs as the central place where dancing and dinner would be served - which was perfect. The large bar and lounge areas downstairs made that the perfect place for guests who preferred to hang out and talk rather than dance. It is really a unique space and I received so many compliments from guests as it being one of the best wedding venues they've ever been to! Because it is a distillery/cocktail bar, you have to use all of their alcohol - but this is a great thing because their liquor, cocktails, and beer/wine/cider selections are phenomenal and very reasonably priced! In speaking with others who had open bars with cheaper liquor, beer, and wine selections, I spent just about the same for high end selections and excellent craft cocktails. Everyone was raving about the drinks throughout the end and the bartenders were amazing and did such a great job! As for the event coordinators (Francesca and Erin), they were wonderful. They were super helpful throughout the entire process and eased my nerves because I was genuinely panicked about the guest count (170) working in a space probably more suited for smaller weddings. They were both very professional, great to work with, and I felt I could really trust them to execute well. Overall, I was just thrilled with this venue and staff and could not be happier with how everything worked out!

    Options are really endless here. They allowed us to utilize the furniture they had on hand or bring in any rentals. We liked what they had so we needed to rent very little and were happy to share recommendations for other vendors. The space is sizable but still has has a nice intimate and warm feel and they were actively distilling during our ceremony/reception, which was cool to see. The bartenders are kind and talented and all the craft liquors (which are made on site) are top notch. No bottom shelf here. Excited to visit and try the rum created during our vows!

    We work with Kingfly Spirits often, from group gatherings, life events, weddings, etc. Kingfly staff is always great to work with and great to communicate with. The space is also very warm and cool and hip at the same time.
