The Fermenting Cellar Wedding Expo – Distillery District

On April 13, the Fermenting Cellar held its second annual wedding open house in the Distillery District. This rustic yet stylish building showcases a brick exterior that captures the nostalgia of the building, which still resembles its 1861 façade. Heavy timber beams and limestone walls work elegantly together to capture and create a unique and mesmerizing one-of-a-kind atmosphere that can be molded and transformed. You will be enchanted from the moment you set eyes on it.

The Fermenting Cellar Wedding Expo 1This rustic and earthy table setting features a burlap raw tablecloth, bamboo flatware and rattan chargers. A simple mono or duo tone arrangement would compliment this setting, creating a simple and understated elegance.

This bold ensemble features gold/glass bead chargers, regal gold plated flatware, a paprika taffeta tablecloth and gold chiavari chairs. A mixed bouquet to highlight the season adds a beautiful finishing touch and pulls the colours together perfectly.

The Fermenting Cellar Wedding Expo 5This white table setting is classy and simple. This foundation works well when highlighting a feature color palate, in this case, purple. Bold, bright and rich tones work well on this backdrop, keeping the theme chic, stylish and sophisticated.

The three chandeliers in a row create the perfect space to position the head table. And the limestone wall gives great ambiance and character. No pipe and drapes necessary for this layout!

This set up allows for just about 100 guests in the ceremony. The wonderful thing about the Fermenting Cellar’s space is that it’s completely open concept. The above is just one suggestion for where and how to set up the service.
