Overall, the food, ambiance, & service was incredible! Literally the food was incredible.
Where I'd say they could improve is firstly on their AV, and secondly on their sales rep side. Their in house AV Equipment was really disappointing, and even died halfway through our ceremony! No one from the venue was anywhere to be found. Would highly recommend hiring third party AV. Also, with the sales rep, I felt they could have been more responsive and accommodating to us given that we planned a wedding in the middle of a global pandemic
I would say though, that the food and ambiance was amazing! so if that's your thing I would recommend. The servers are also amazing.

Perfect Christmas Market Wedding
We had our wedding during the Christmas Market at Archeo and everything about experience was fantastic. Distillery Events was awesome to deal with, especially Natasha our coordinator who was responsive, knowledgeable and authentic. The Staff at Archeo led by Stuart were phenomenal the day of the wedding and were very organized and on top of their game. Highly recommend you consider them for your wedding.

Wedding Ceremony & Reception
I had my wedding ceremony and reception here. It was absolutely fantastic, I couldn't have asked for a better venue! If you're looking for an intimate and rustic vibe, Archeo is the spot. The staff and bartenders were very professional and pretty fun to talk to. One of the waiters actually brought food outside for my husband and I to snack on while we had our photos taken. Everything we wanted was done on time ( i.e moving furniture/ decor out of the way after the ceremony). Minimal decor was required other than just some florals on the tables; it would have been a shame to cover up the exposed brick walls and the reclaimed wood tables. The best part was the food. My guests couldn't stop raving about it!! From the hors d'oeuvres right down to the dessert. By far the best food my husband and I have ever had at a wedding! Nothing but great things to say about Archeo.

Such a beautiful venue!
Rebecca was our venue coordinator and she was so great to work with! She responded to all emails in a timely manner. She offered some great suggestions and made us feel at ease. The staff the night of our wedding was beyond! Our servers were excellent. The bartender and the manager Stuart were so kind and tended to all of our needs. We received so many positive comments on how delicious the food was! This was such a great venue for our 99 person wedding! Thank you so much Archeo!!

Beautiful venue
Archeo was such a beautiful venue. Being able to have our ceremony outdoors and the reception inside was perfect for us, since we didn't want to have to move locations at all. It was also great to have access to the entire distillery for photos too. The food was perfect, and the staff working during our wedding day were INCREDIBLE. I'm a bartender, so I had some pretty high service standards for our wedding day, and the staff exceeded them all. It was also great how they took everyone's order on the day-of. My only critique is that it would have been nice if we were able to include the vegetarian option on the menu (we were told that people were only allowed to get the veg option if they decided to get it in advance). Otherwise, amazing venue, amazing staff, amazing day!!!!

Attentive service, great food
We were thrilled with choosing Archeo for our winter lunch wedding. Lindsey was great - she helped us with any questions we had. The planning process was seamless. The guests loved the food and the vegetarians said that their meal was delicious too. We were also able to have GF and kid meals. We would highly recommend this space. We did a lunch reception with a welcome drink and wine/beer served at the table and everything went off without a hitch. Thanks Lindsey and Archeo!

Brilliant for small weddings
We really enjoyed Archeo. We’d been to a few weddings at the venue before and knew it was right for us. The best aspect is most things are available with the venue to save time with extra vendors. Being a restaurant the food is on point, the ceremony had AV already ready to go, and the bar/dance floor area is very handy. The rustic feel was brilliant too.

Wonderful and historical
Incredibly beautiful and historical venue. Amazing food as well. Didn't really spent too much on decoration as the venue is gorgeous as it was!

pre-wedding
I am having my wedding at Archeo this summer, it is beautiful.. great value and stunning setting. The coordinator I am dealing with is very helpful and has a lot of the same ideas we do for our special day. Their menu is very vast, there are a lot to choose from. So far my experience has been wonderful.

Amazing atmosphere, staff, and food!
We wanted great food with casual friendly atmosphere. The interior portion of the venue was perfect for us with the exposed brick and Edison lights. It was casual and intimate for our party of 80 something guests. There was enough room on the dancefloor to have fun but not feel empty.
The patio was great. Our guests came through the side and was greeted with outdoor seating, canapes and great backgrounds for photos. In the evening, the lights went on and it made everything look so beautiful.
I also can't say enough about the amazing staff. Our coordinator, Chantal was responsive and knowledgeable - easily lending her expertise on how to arrange the seating. There was also a kind gentleman there (who I unfortunately did not remember the name of) who was so nice and answered any questions that we had on the day of.
