The Clubhouse at Rhinegeist
Holds ceremonies and receptions
I had no idea Rhinegeist had event spaces available, and for every wedding size! It was super affordable, and the price included a day of coordinator. Jess was amazing in keeping the timeline and events organized! You have to spend a minimum on beer, which is easy depending on the number of guests and Rhinegeist beer options are always great. They had a valet add on (definitely worth the money) as well as plenty of other add ons to make you day easier. The vibes were perfect for my husband and I, the communication was spot on, and I would recommend Rhinegeist to everyone! It was perfect!

Everything about Rhinegeist is perfect! The team they have for weddings is incredible. We had our wedding ceremony and reception in the Signature Room and Lounge and we had the help of a day-of coordinator, Megan. Everyone we spoke to before the wedding was very nice and helpful and the team they provided helped our wedding day run smoothly and better than we could have imagined. We love Rhinegeist even more than we already did!

My family rented out the lounge at Rhinegeist for our welcome party the night before our wedding. We had about 85 guests and used Village Pantry Catering. My MIL and I were in touc...
h with Hannah and Kay for all the pre-event planning and our lead bartender was Maddie.
The lounge was the perfect spot for our event! My husband and I loved the comfortable, vintage vibes with the long bar, plenty of seating and standing room, and easy access to the bathrooms. Our group fit very comfortably.
Communication with Hannah and Kay was easy and timely. They were very understanding and patient with us when we wanted to drop off checks to avoid the 3% credit card processing fees.
The bartenders were great and Maddie, our lead bartender, was on top of timing, making sure she came to find our family doing speeches and very patient while it took people a while to slowly trickle out when the event ended.
The drinks were great as always!
We highly recommend Rhinegeist, the lounge, Hannah and Kay, and Maddie for your event!

My husband and I had our wedding and reception in Rhinegeist's Signature Room + Lounge in April 2026, and we had such a great experience! We booked our date about a year in advance...
after touring the venue, which is a stunning industrial space with art deco details (stylistically distinct from their larger, wood-clad clubhouse space). It was shockingly affordable compared to other venues we looked into. We invited about 80 guests and had just under 70 in attendance, and the space accommodated everyone comfortably - for the ceremony, dinner, and dancefloor. We hardly had to decorate because both the signature room and lounge are already so beautiful. Before we were assigned a coordinator, the Rhinegeist team was responsive to all of our questions via email, and the service got even better when we were introduced to our Coordinator, Jess. Jess and her team made sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding and coordinated well with our other vendors so we didn't have to worry about the logistics and could just focus on ourselves and our guests.

ading up to the wedding, they both were there to answer all my questions and make the day run as smooth as possible. They truly want you to have a seamless wedding and help take any of the wedding planning stress off your shoulders. The venue is spacious, clean, and stunning. We had about 100 people attend the wedding and there was plenty of space between the annex as well as the clubhouse. The staff that served the guest were also great. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a beautiful ceremony and reception space, amazing staff, and a place to make your wedding extra special!

te pleasure to work with; her calm demeanor was so reassuring. Rhinegeist is a pro at weddings; they had worked with all our vendors before and had everything handled. They are a machine, but somehow still made us feel so special and like our day mattered to them, too. It was an amazing wedding, and we have received so many compliments. The space is beautiful, the bar service was awesome, and the coordination went so smoothly. I loved every second of it (including the planning!) and I’m so glad we had our wedding here.

service we received. From vendors to planning, as well as bar options and personalization, the team at Rhinegeist had us covered every step of the way. We ordered the custom beer sign that they offer with our names and wedding date, and it was the perfect addition to our decor. It now has pride of place on our living room mantle! The coordinators and bar staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and we're still hearing great stories and comments from our guests months later. They even have another space perfect for smaller weddings. My only regret is deciding not to add an extra hour to our rental - we did not want the night to end. We highly recommend Rhinegeist for weddings and celebrations!

She also helped us envision our reception perfectly and I love how she talked with other vendors for day of coordination so my husband and I didn't have to worry about it. I didn't even need to hire a wedding planner cause the crew at Rhinegeist was just amazing.

We worked with Cass from Rhinegeist who did a fantastic job and was there every step of the way to answer questions and even helped my husband and I make a discrete exit at the end of the night! We highly recommend working with Cass, we loved her!
Only thing to keep in mind is Rhinegeist does not have someone to help set up the decor for the reception space but they do tear town and box everything up which was awesome! We hired someone for a few hours before the reception to go decorate the space and which worked out perfectly.
We loved our reception and would recommend using Rhinegeist to anyone!

She is extremely detailed in her work, has an answer to every question and has the ideas and creativity that helped us along the planning and decision making processes. She was a key to the success of our wedding planning. As for the day itself, Rhinegeist as a venue was incredibly gorgeous and made all of our wedding day dreams come true. The staff is extremely friendly and organized and they have running a larger wedding down to a science and they operate as a well oiled machine, that to us, seem to execute flawlessly to us. We had the perfect wedding day with! We always heard something has to go wrong on your wedding day, and to us, nothing did, or at least they were extremely good and hiding and working around it because all of our guests and us could not have been happier with any other venue. I HIGHLY recommend Rhinegeist. Their pricing is reasonable and they're one of the most highly regarded venues in the area for a reason.

The moment I first walked into Rhinegeist I knew it was where I would get married. My husband and I had to reschedule our big day because of covid, and opted to stay at Rhinegeist ...
for a vow renewal on our 1 year anniversary. It was like a dream to finally be able to share this day with all of our loved ones. Sarah & Megan were so helpful, supportive & wonderful. There were also so many options within their packages that we were able to afford the most beautiful day we could have dreamed of without it putting us in debt. So happy with everything!!!
