Here’s the thing: your wedding should feel like you! For so many couples these days, that means ditching cookie-cutter venues for spaces with character—places where the beer is local, the views are unforgettable, and every detail just works.

That’s exactly what we’ve built at Little Miami Brewing Company. Over the years, we’ve hosted everything from “I do’s” under our twinkling patio lights to rehearsal dinners where the craft beer flowed as freely as the laughter. And you know what we’ve learned? The best weddings aren’t about perfection—they’re about great people, great drinks, and moments you’ll actually remember.

So if you’re planning a wedding weekend in Cincinnati and want it to feel relaxed, authentic, and totally you—keep reading. We’re breaking down exactly how our riverside brewery can be your wedding weekend headquarters.

Why Cincinnati is Perfect for a Wedding Weekend

As locals who’ve planned our own weddings here (and attended approximately 847 others), here’s what makes our city secretly brilliant for wedding weekends:

Scenery That Doesn’t Require a Filter

From the Ohio River’s bends to the vine-covered brick buildings in Over-the-Rhine, this city serves up backdrops that make photographers swoon. Our outdoor wedding space in Cincinnati takes full advantage—ceremonies on our riverside patio look like they’re straight out of a magazine, with no expensive decor required.

A Food & Drink Scene That Impresses Everyone

• Your craft beer snob brother? He’ll geek out over our small-batch brews.
• Your wine-only aunt? We’ve got local options she’ll love.
• That friend who “doesn’t like BBQ”? They’ll shut up after one bite of our beer-braised pulled-pork pizza.

Logistics That Won’t Give You Nightmares

• Flights: CVG Airport has direct routes from most major cities.
• Hotels: Downtown options range from hip (21c Museum Hotel) to historic (The Cincinnatian).
• Transport: The city is compact—Ubers are cheap, and we can arrange trolleys for groups.

Pro Tip: Block rooms at The Graduate Cincinnati—it’s within walking distance of our brewery (just a 30-minute drive away) and full of playful local touches.

The Perfect Venue: Little Miami Brewing Company

You Actually Get to Enjoy Your Day

We’ve seen it too many times: Brides and grooms playing coordinator instead of host. Our team? We handle setup, vendor coordination, and even day-of surprises (like that one uncle who always needs “just one more drink”).

The Beer (Obviously)

Let’s be real—a brewery wedding reception beats a cash bar with overpriced cocktails any day. Our taps feature everything from easy-drinking lagers (for your non-beer-drinking aunt) to small-batch stouts (for your hipster college buddy).

Check out our complete beer menu on Untapped.

Pro Tip: Ask about brewing a custom beer for your wedding, and naming it something like “Hoppy Ever After.”

Spaces That Don’t Need a Decor Budget

Exposed brick. Rustic barrel accents. That golden-hour light bouncing off the river. Some venues need a ton of flowers to look good—ours just does.

How to Plan a Seamless Wedding Weekend in Cincinnati

Friday: Rehearsal Dinner That Doesn’t Suck

Forget rubber chicken in a hotel basement. Our loft space is all about:

• Shareable plates (beer-braised pork nachos, anyone?)
• Casual mingling (no assigned seats = happier guests)
• A relaxed vibe that sets the tone for the weekend

Saturday: A Wedding That Feels Like You

• Ceremony: Exchange vows riverside as the sun dips behind the trees.
• Reception: Dance under string lights with our IPA on tap and late-night soft pretzels circulating.

Sunday: The Brunch Everyone Actually Wants to Attend

No one wants a stuffy sit-down after a late night. Our solution:

• DIY mimosa bar
• Breakfast pizzas straight from our oven
• A “hair of the dog” beer station (because why not?)

Little Touches That Make a Big Difference

For Out-of-Towners:

• Welcome bags with local coffee, goetta snacks, and a handwritten note
• Group activity: Saturday morning Findlay Market tour

For You Two:

• First-look on our hidden river dock
• Private toast with our bourbon-barrel-aged stout

For the Party:

• Late-night photo booth with silly props
• Uber/Lyft code posted visibly

Testimonials: Why Couples Love Little Miami Brewing

“Perfection- We hosted a rehearsal dinner here, and it was perfect from the beginning to end!! Planning the event was so easy with Libby and Gabby! And the entire evening itself was beautiful- so many compliments from our guests. Thank you!” – S.B.

“Gorgeous venue, great beer, and the best day of coordinator ever. Kaila was amazing to work with and so easy and chill. We had the best time, and everyone loved being able to socialize on the patio overlooking the river. We have always loved the brewery, and we were so excited to get married at the event center. They even swapped a beer out according to our personal preference. Would absolutely recommend this venue over and over again.” – Lynn V. M. ( Google Reviews)

“My husband and I recently got married at LMBC! Some reasons why we chose this venue is because there was free parking for our guests, everything was all one level, `unique design and layout, and they had a bride and groom suite for getting ready. We had the pleasure of working with Libby and Gabby. While we did hire our own coordinator, Gabby did a wonderful job setting up and operating the venue as a whole. We couldn’t have had the best day without their help and expertise. We highly recommend this venue. :)” – J.L.
