Testimonials
We had our wedding in their gorgeous ballroom! Suzanne, the event coordinator, was a joy to work with. The food, drinks, and staff were all amazing, and everything went off without a hitch. Highly recommend considering this venue for any important events! - Anna M, Google Review
From the get go the staff was amazing, anything we needed was taken care of in a professional manner. Only having to set up minor details prior to the event made things 100% stress free and made it easy to relax prior to it starting. The staff and event coordinator Hannah were super friendly and made sure everything came out as needed and the bartender was very personable and very good at what he was doing the drinks were a huge hit. Would recommend for any event large or small. We wouldn’t have changed a thing it was truly a magical night that we wouldn’t have been able to pull off without their help. - Cory, Wedding Wire
We got married here last year! Truly such a beautiful wedding and space. Suzanne was wonderful to work with and I couldn’t recommend this ballroom more! - Amber A, Google Review
This was the best venue we could have chosen! I went to WWU, so it was very special coming back to have my wedding in Bellingham. Suzanne was the best coordinator and answered our endless questions with ease and professionalism leading up to the big day. Gorgeous venue and we booked the rooftop bar for our whole event as well. The staff was amazing! Could not recommend this venue enough! - Mikaela M , The Knot
My husband and I got married on the rooftop last year and it was such a beautiful experience. The staff were friendly and helpful from setup to breakdown. Suzanne, the event coordinator, was extremely organized and gave us several options supplied by the venue. When it came to planning the event they were very flexible with what we wanted to do and we were able to have many services provided that worked well for our budget. The ceremony was everything we imagined it would be and we highly recommend this place as a venue for your event! - Skye G, Google Review
We had our reception at Chuckanut Bay Distillery and would highly recommend having your event here! The space is beautiful. You can see how much time and effort was put in when the space was renovated. Suzanne made the whole planning process so easy. She was very responsive, communicated clearly and never got tired of answering my emails! The actual reception was better than we had imagined. The room was set up the way we wanted. The food was delicious. The servers were great and the bartenders were awesome! Hannah did a great job making sure everything went smoothly. We highly recommend booking Chuckanut Bay Distillery for your wedding/reception. - Jennifer , Wedding Wire

We had our wedding here about a month ago and still can’t stop thinking about how great it was. Top to bottom Chuckanut is just an incredible place! Suzanne the coordinator was such a wonderful partner in planning and executing our vision for the day, she truly is the best. The rest of the staff was always so welcoming and kind whenever we’d come to visit. The rest of our vendors could not stop raving about the professionalism, attention to detail and thoughtfulness of Chuckanut. We love that we can always come back for dinner anytime we want to relive such a great night. Could not recommend this place anymore for your wedding! - Ryan J, The Knot
Chuckanut Bay Distillery hosted my daughter's graduation from WWU. They provided the most beautiful, delicious brunch for us. Suzanne worked with us and kept in contact the entire time. Annika was our host in the bar and kept us supplied with a fantastic drink menu including mimosas, coffee, juice, water, tea. They provided the utmost care and were available the entire time to assist us with anything we needed. I cannot say enough fabulous things about them.
The venue was gorgeous. We had the entire mezzanine available and all of our guests could not get over how beautiful this place is. I will forever be grateful to the staff at Chuckanut Bay Distillery for a lovely party! - Krisie R, Google Review
We had our rehearsal dinner at Chuckanut Bay Distillery, and I have nothing but great things to say. We reserved the roof top deck for cocktail hour, and got to enjoy the stunning view of the waterfront while sipping on outstanding drinks. Dinner in the main restaurant was the perfect setting to have wedding speeches and toasts. Plus, the food was exceptional. The tuscan ribs and pasta were to die for. Working with Suzanne, Hannah, and the rest of the staff made the event a breeze. I wouldn't have changed a thing about our experience. A huge thanks to Chuckanut Bay Distillery! - Madeleine, Wedding Wire
Very nice place! We were here for a wedding and it was amazing!! - Sergio R, Google Review
We had the absolute best experience getting married at Chuckanut Bay Distillery! From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect blend of industrial charm, warmth, and Pacific Northwest character. But what truly made our wedding unforgettable was working with Suzanne. Suzanne is everything you could hope for in a venue coordinator—responsive, organized, kind, and so thoughtful. She anticipated our needs before we even knew to ask and was genuinely excited about helping us bring our vision to life. Every email, every walkthrough, every tiny detail—we always felt supported and in capable hands. Even as our wedding day approached and the usual chaos set in, Suzanne was a calm and steady presence. The space itself is stunning. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the exposed beams, rooftop views, moody lighting, and unique setting that made the ceremony and reception feel so intimate and magical. It’s also incredibly flexible—perfect for bringing what you want to life. I was able to get ready at the venue, have the ceremony, reception, and a cocktail hour all in one space making it such a smooth wedding. We can’t recommend Chuckanut Bay Distillery enough—and if you’re lucky enough to work with Suzanne, know you’re in the best hands possible. Thank you, Suzanne and the CBD team, for helping us create a day we’ll never forget. ❤️ - Matt G
Great space for an event. Ambience, bar, room: A+ - Doug M, Google Review
Although it wasn't a wedding, we held a holiday board event at the Chuckanut Bay Distillery / Penny Farthing Restaurant for a group of approximately 50. The professionalism of the staff, quality of the food and drinks, and the ambiance of the venue were all top notch. Working with the planning team was easy and fun...they responded quickly to all requests and were very helpful in designing our menu. The event was thoroughly enjoyed by all attendees! - Na, Wedding Wire

We look forward to partnering with you again! - Janice L, Google Review
The Chuckanut Bay Distillery ballroom was the perfect spot for our wedding and reception. The ballroom is absolutely beautiful, as are the getting ready areas - the Speakeasy and Distiller’s Table. Suzanne and the crew were great to work with and took care of every detail. It was a perfect day with no stress and lots of fun. The food and drinks were delicious! Two weeks later and our guests are still raving about the beautiful venue and impeccable service. - Heidi P, The Knot
We are beyond grateful for our experience with Chuckanut Bay Distillery. Suzanne and the entire Chuckanut Bay Distillery team are simply outstanding. From their quick responses to their exceptional attention to detail and expert knowledge of event hosting, everything was handled flawlessly. Our firm couldn’t have been more excited to host our holiday party in their dreamy new ballroom, and it truly turned out to be the perfect evening. The food and drinks were exceptional, and the space struck the perfect balance—just the right size, yet warm and inviting for our gathering. It exceeded all of our expectations, so much so that when I needed a venue for a recent happy hour, I knew exactly where to go! Whether you're planning a grand event or an intimate occasion, Chuckanut Bay Distillery offers a beautiful space and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Five stars for Chuckanut Bay Distillery, Suzanne and her team! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Chelsea R, Google Review
Excellent venue with a communicative and friendly staff to help create your perfect event! We hosted our rehearsal dinner in their main floor restaurant/distillery and rooftop spaces. Start to finish, Suzanne and Hannah were very helpful, communicative and friendly. We had a small hiccup and they went above and beyond to find creative solutions to make the event work perfectly - the night exceeded expectations! The food and drinks were delicious. Plus you can’t beat that rooftop view… Highly recommend! - D&V, The Knot
