Journeyman Distillery

I recently had my wedding ceremony and reception at Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks, MI. While there were some bump along the road throughout the wedding planning process with communication, everything came together perfectly. Over the course of the last month, I was in direct contact with Kaley, their event manager. She was also on site that day to assist if needed. Both her and the day of manger were constantly checking in on me and my bridal party as we were getting ready. I felt very taken care of! The food and drinks were amazing as well! I love that we got to have good cocktails that were included in the entire price without an extra charge. The food was amazing as well! I heard of no complaints of cold food or wrong items. The serving staff and bartenders were very attentive as well. Overall I would recommend Journeyman to hold your wedding at as its beautiful, has great food/drinks and is insanely affordable!!

The corn fritters were good. The chicken sandwich was just ok, the chicken was dry and not seasoned. The lemcello pie was good. The drink was excellent. I would go back for appetizers and drinks. I like the physical space.

I ordered the cracklings with full knowledge that i was likely to be disappointed. I ate some of them because for 9$, i wouldn't let it all go to waste. These are pork rinds, and they were not anything special. I also ordered a pizza. It's enough for one person if you're hungry, maybe 2 people. The pizza again was another letdown tough, not much flavor. Many pizzas in the frozen food isle would blow this one away. Drinks and atmosphere are good. The building is pretty neat.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous! And not just cuz I’m biased but it was the best wedding food I’ve ever had! Our day was absolutely magical and I wish I could relive it again. The food and bar staff on our wedding day were 10/10 outstanding! They were all quick working and super friendly. My husband and I felt the event planner and communication aspect could have been better. We were tossed around to different event planners initially and finally had one “assigned” to us, Corrine, who was rather difficult to communicate with. Sometimes emails went unanswered for weeks and we didn’t have a direct phone number to reach her. There were things that went unannounced like, filet mignon was an extra $5/plate but that’s not in the brochure or mentioned until we get our food counts back. Also, we were never told about a kids menu so we assumed kids eat a smaller portion of the main entrees. Again, after we got our food selections from our guests we were told about this kids menu and had to let our guests know of the change. Overall, we felt ignored and like a burden rather than a welcomed guest. It’s the first time my husband and I experienced planning a wedding and were looking for more guidance from the Corrine but we mostly navigated the entire process ourself. I asked several times to meet in person or at least via zoom so we could meet face-to-face, which never happened. I never even met her until our reception around 9pm when she finally came to introduce herself to me. I found that odd on the day of our wedding, meeting the person that was supposed to help us during the months of planning before hand. Just not very personable. As a bride, you hope to have someone with knowledge and experience to handhold you through the entire process. She also told us we could set up the night before and while setting up, a woman working downstairs sternly walked up to me asking who we are and why we were there. Apparently the venue didn’t know we got permission to set up. I was told there would be people directing guests on the day of the wedding since our ceremony was downstairs but our reception was upstairs, with another wedding happening at the same time as ours. Before the ceremony I was hiding upstairs in our reception area and guests were coming in by me saying they didn’t know where to go and the sign downstairs pointed upstairs guiding them to our wedding. I had to ask my sister in law to go investigate this sign situation since we didn’t have our event planner around to assist. The other wedding that was supposed to happen the same day apparently canceled and we were not made aware of this or even offered the bridal suite to use. The other bride had claimed it before me but then wasn’t there anyway. These are just some highlights of our experience. I definitely recommend this venue for the beauty, amazing food, and the attentive food and bar service staff but be prepared to navigate this process alone and feel like a burden planning the most important day of your life.

My go to spot for lunch in Three Oaks. Top notch drink menu and food. The space is beautifully restored and the service is warm and efficient. All ages are welcome. Pro tip: call ahead for a reservation to avoid having to wait for a table.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with 4 adults and 4 kids. Had the wings, Brussel sprouts, pizza, caesars salad and kids mac and cheese. All the food was delicious and the kids all ate well. The whiskey flight was a good tasting to see what you like. On top of all that. service was top notch. I would definitely recommend it as a good spot to go with family and friends.

We had a blast tonight! Loved this place! Great food, drinks and service! Highly recommend for a date night!

My wife and I were there for late lunch,food was really good, service was good, atmosphere wasso beautiful.
