    Wedding Reception

    We had our wedding here at the Celebration Center in the beginning of July and it was absolutely beautiful! We held our cocktail hour on the roof and our guests loved the views of the river! The staff here were wonderful to work with and made the process of planning very easy and helpful for us from the beginning. It was a great space for our reception, where we had around 120 guests. We appreciated all of the details that were provided for our wedding day and would highly recommend the Celebration Center to others! Will remember this day for the rest of our lives!

    We loved the MRDC celebration center!

    We had our wedding at the MRDC celebration center and it was beautiful beyond expectations! Monica is amazing and a pleasure to work with during the planning process. The drinks were amazing and the venue was gorgeous. The price is affordable and worth it for everything they have to offer!

    A Perfect Day!

    We got married here last Saturday and the venue was beautiful! All of our guests loved it and it was the perfect size for the wedding we had. While planning this wedding from Texas, Monica was super helpful answering all of our questions. The online portal was very easy to use and helped keep track of all the documents and communication. All of the staff day of were wonderful and helped make our day feel special!

    Amazing day

    This venue was amazing and helped us have the absolute best day! Monica and Krista were amazing and invaluable! They helped with the hundreds or questions I had and were always prompt at responding! I truly can't thank you enough for an amazing wedding day! We added some bells and whistles to our package.... all worth it!

    Fantastic!

    Not only is the venue gorgeous but Monica and the rest of the staff are top notch! Their online portal was user friendly, kept everything organized in one convenient place, and allowed for online payments. Monica was responsive, accommodating, personable, and her established relationships with our vendors helped in coordinating our big day. The entire staff was polite and efficient; they did a great job clearing glasses from the tables after dinner or as they were empty and none of our guest ever had to wait for a drink. The arbor we purchased for the ceremony was too light to withstand the wind but Monica offered the arbor from the venue that was better suited for the conditions. When we had inclement weather and had to move our cocktail hour inside from the rooftop, the staff made it a smooth and easy transition. Also, you can't beat the stunning view of the Mississippi. We are extremely happy we chose the Celebration Center for our wedding and would recommend it to anyone looking for a space to host their event!

    Beautiful venue for a wedding!

    Beautiful venue, amazing service, top-notch drinks! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married. Organized, accommodating, hard-working, and excellent communication. I would recommend the people, the service, and the venue to anyone!

    The perfect venue for our day!

    We had the best day ever at this incredible venue! The space is beautiful and had everything we needed - from places to get ready, beautiful backdrops for pictures, a great space for the reception, and of course, the incredible views of the river for our rooftop ceremony! Monica was fantastic and made our day so easy!

    Everyone is very professional and you will love this venue!

    Monica kept in contact with everyone throughout the months before the wedding. As the wedding day approached she made sure everything was in place. The day of the wedding the staff were great! The venue is beautiful. We had many compliments from the wedding guests as to how beautiful the venue was. The staff was awesome! I highly recommend this venue

    Dream Wedding!

    We had SUCH a great experience working with Leah, Monica, and the staff at the Celebration Center! They were frequently in touch, responded quickly to questions, and were instrumental in bringing our dream wedding to life. The venue is fairly priced and absolutely beautiful – we went pretty minimal with our decor because the venue does most of the talking all on its own. The staff present on wedding day were readily available, very friendly, and clearly dedicated to ensuring everyone present had a great time. Mimosas in the bridal suite the morning of were such a nice touch. :) we are so grateful and highly recommend the Celebration Center for your next event!

    Beautiful Venue with Great Atmosphere

    We cannot say enough good things about the team at Mississippi River Distilling Company Celebration Center! Leah & Monica went above and behind to ensure that our day went off without a hitch (except for us of course). There were several planning sessions ahead of time to map out the details of the day’s schedule. They were quick to communicate and very easy to work with. On the day of, Monica was especially helpful, constantly checking in, proving solid communication, and going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The bar staff was phenomenal; polite, courteous, and attentive to all of our guests. The venue itself provided the perfect space for our wedding ceremony and reception. We made great use of the bridal and groom’s suites and the rooftop patio. Hoping to host some anniversary parties here in the future. 10/10 recommend!

    Top-notch venue for your special events!

    Our wedding at the MRDC Celebration Center was truly a perfect day and the space was even more beautiful than I envisioned it in my head. I really appreciated how flexible the staff was with us throughout planning and the thorough explanations to our questions, which were always very prompt. You can tell how passionate and serious they are about their work and that's something we certainly appreciated about this venue!

    The Best night

    The Celebration Center was perfect for our wedding! The staffing was incredible and Monica was so responsive and tentative during the planning process and on the day of as well. Such a beautiful venue- our guests had so much fun they weren’t ready to leave at the end of the night. I would highly recommend MRD for your special occasion:)

    perfection

    Had a summer wedding here, ceremony of about 110, reception of about 160. Also a rehearsal dinner of about 50 people. Got endless compliments on how gorgeous the venue was. Fair pricing. Very helpful, adaptable, resourceful, available and friendly staff. Leah was fantastic. The venue is industrial and historic, lots of old wood and exposed brick. The bridal sweet is so pretty, and the “mens cave” or whatever you want to call it might be even cooler. The amenities are abundant: mimosas in the morning in the bridal suite, code-protected lockers, salon-quality beauty tool holder/center, elevator for those who may need it, little speakers in the bridal suite and grooms area are provided. The venue staff send you a free sampling of their liquors in the form of a multipack of shooters after you book with them. The River view overlook patio was beautiful for a ceremony & the rehearsal dinner. The cocktails were a hit. The service was fantastic. Seriously so many compliments on this venue. My only personal little critique is how much smaller the women’s area is compared to the mens & how few mirrors. If you were to have a lot of women trying to get ready at the same time in there, it might be a bit cramped. Very much recommend this venue.

    Wedding in June

    Leah and everyone were incredibly easy to deal with. The messaging was prompt and informative. Everything was planned well, and our guests loved the drinks. Even though we were probably more non-traditional than most, all of our needs were met. Thank you!

    Amazing Venue and Team

    We had our ceremony and wedding at the Celebration Center and could not have asked for a better experience. It has everything you need, not only for a beautiful ceremony on the rooftop but great places to get ready before. It was easy for our hair and makeup team to get us ready in the bridal suite, the drinks were amazing and gave our guests an even better experience. I cannot express enough how happy we are that we chose this venue and team. So many guest came and told us about how great of a venue it was for them too. We live out of town and Leah was very accommodating to our travel schedule and gave excellent vendor recommendations that knew the venue well. Being in downtown LeClaire with a Mississippi view is just an added bonus.

    Thank you so much, Stacy! It was such a pleasure working with you & Frank, planning such a lovely wedding!

    The best wedding venue around

    Where do we even start with how perfect the MRDC Celebration Center was? The list goes on and on and on. First off, the staff there, all the way from the owner (Ryan), the event planner (Leah), to the bartenders (shoutout to Dan) are first class. They went above and beyond to not just meet our expectations, but to exceed them 100x over. They were easy to work with throughout the entire process and communicated extremely well. The drinks at the Distillery cannot be beat. We were complimented on many different occasions for how good they were, many people used the phrase "dangerously great drinks". The venue itself is the best that we've been to. The guys loved using the cellar to hideaway and escape from the madness at times. The girls loved the bridal suite to get ready in and lock their personal items away during the event. The details around the venue itself are stunning, which means you can do minimal decorations and have a stunning event. The backdrop of the Mississippi River is rare for a wedding venue like this and having the rooftop bar was amazing for guests who wanted to get away from the dance floor to have a drink and conversation. If you're looking for a unique experience, amazing drinks, and an incredible staff to work with, MRDC is THE place to book!

    Gorgeous venue!

    Everything for our wedding day was absolutely perfect. We met with Leah several times before the big day, and she took care of coordinating all of the deliveries. Their vendor list was super helpful in assisting our wedding planning. The venue itself is gorgeous, overlooking the river. We got married on the rooftop, with a cocktail hour to follow. The multiple levels allow for several different places for guests to go. The bridal suite was well-appointed and included a place for everyone to lock up their valuables. The drinks were phenomenal, and we didn’t need many decorations because the venue is already so beautiful. It was the perfect place for our big day!

    Mississippi River Distilling Company Celebration Center's reply:

    Thank you so much, Alana! It was so lovely hosting you & Scott's big day. We hope to see you in the future for more celebrations! :)
