The Historic John B. Busch Brewery Event Center

Set within a restored nineteenth-century brewery in Washington, Missouri, this historic event venue offers distinctive spaces for weddings, receptions, corporate gatherings and private celebrations. Its brickwork and period character give events a setting with a strong sense of place, while the different rooms make it possible to choose a space suited to the occasion and guest list.

The Barrel Room is the largest option, with capacity for around 300 guests. For smaller gatherings, organisers can consider the Speakeasy or Buddy’s Bootleggers Hideout, each described as accommodating up to 80 people. The Cellar can be used for wedding ceremonies, with the option of moving the celebration to another room afterwards. The venue also has historic grounds and corners that can provide a memorable backdrop for photographs.

The spaces are offered for ceremonies and receptions, corporate events, dinners, fundraisers, galas, birthdays, showers, reunions and photoshoots. Venue packages include event space, tables, chairs, linens, an event coordinator and bartenders. Bar service is available with a selection of drinks, and organisers can ask about tailoring the offering to include preferred beverages or a signature cocktail.

Planners can enquire about the event date, type of occasion, guest numbers and preferred room through the venue’s contact form. The combination of several private spaces, event-day assistance and an on-site bar gives organisers options for gatherings ranging from intimate celebrations to larger functions.
