About this venue

The historic Featherbone Factory was established by E.K. Warren in 1883. An ardent prohibitionist, Warren revolutionized the manufacturing of ladies’ corsets and buggy whips. Just 5 miles from I-94, Journeyman is located in the quaint village of Three Oaks—the heart of Michigan’s Harbor Country. Located 75 miles east from Chicago, 30 miles west of South Bend, and 70 miles south of Kalamazoo, our one-of-a-kind distillery includes a full-service restaurant, gorgeous event spaces, lodging for up to 20 guests, and a 30,000-square-foot putting green.

    We had Xavier and Kaley for our wedding at Journeyman in November, and they were absolutely incredible to work with. From start to finish, they made the entire experience feel effortless. Their communication was clear, their energy was warm and positive, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone loved the food—it was delicious and beautifully presented! The servers were so nice too!! At one point, we realized we needed to add an extra table, and Xavier and Kaley were so accommodating. They made it completely seamless and just made it happen, which took such a weight off our shoulders. You can tell they genuinely care about the couples they work with. They anticipated needs before we even said them out loud, kept everything organized behind the scenes, and made us feel supported and relaxed the entire day. Our guests even commented on how kind and professional they were. Xavier and Kaley played such a big part in making our day unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re getting married at Journeyman, ask for them—you will be in the absolute best hands. 3

    Before my now husband and I were even engaged we scoped out journeyman at their Valparaiso location for a potential wedding reception venue. My husband and I are Valparaiso University alumni. Valparaiso was where our love story began, and from the moment we went to dinner at Journeyman I knew it HAD to be the spot for our reception. The process could not have been easier, despite us living over 2000 miles away, all thanks to our amazing coordinator, Kaley! We cannot thank her and the Journeyman team enough for making our wedding PERFECT. We are huge foodies and have been to plenty of weddings where the meal was lackluster, but Journeyman was FANTASTIC. A ton of our guests even mentioned after that it was the best wedding food they ever had. The bar, of course, was incredible. The venue itself was perfect. We were able to utilize the rooftop patio and everyone loved it. If you are having a Valparaiso wedding there’s no question this is the spot you want!

    We absolutely loved having our wedding at Journeyman! We’ve always enjoyed visiting over the years, and every staff member we met during planning and on our wedding day was kind, welcoming, and professional. We rented both the East & West Rooms, the rooftop, and the East bridal suite, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Our rooftop ceremony flowed beautifully into the cocktail hour in the West Room, followed by our reception in the East Room — having our full day in one location made everything seamless. The staff handled everything so well, from venue coordination to bartenders to servers, and our guests kept complimenting the venue. Journeyman was truly the foundation of our day and helped make it incredible. We would choose them a million times over!

    My husband and I held our wedding reception at Journeyman Distillery on September 6, 2025, and while we truly enjoyed our wedding there were several major issues with the service that fell below our expectations. Cocktail Hour Issues: Our cocktail hour was in the Distillery Room floor which we booked in addition to our Rehearsal space for an added cost. Upon arrival, the room was almost 90 degrees. We were supposed to have two bars - one that was a full service bar set-up and another bar serving beer. Only one bar was set-up offering only signature cocktails - not the beer, wine or spirits that were part of our full package. Unfortunately the lines were so long our guests went into the restaurant to purchase drinks. Also guests told us that garbage was left overflowing on the barrels we purchased for guests to use as tables. Dinner service errors: Many guests did not receive their salads, requiring them to search for staff. Water glasses remained empty, and dirty salad plates were not cleared for 20 minutes. Our wedding coordinator eventually started busing tables herself to clear plates due to the slow service. She noted that while she was working hard to clear tables, she observed staff hanging out in the kitchen, commenting on how hard she was working during dinner while they remained in the back. Bathroom & Bar Service: Our guests told us the bathrooms were incredibly dirty and seemed to not be cleaned all night. We had guests tell us they told staff about this and even when we returned the next day to get our wedding cake the bathrooms were gross. Unfortunately bar service remained slow and inconsistent after dinner with our coordinator helping to open wine and serve and more of our guests going downstairs to purchase drinks because of the line. Overall, The Journeyman space was beautiful and we had such an amazing time with our family and friends. Kaley at Journeyman was a pleasure to work with. The food was also very good during our cocktail hair and dinner. After we booked our wedding it was determined this was the same day as Popcorn Fest in Valparaiso. We consistently communicated our concerns about Popcorn Fest as we knew it could impact our event based on parking lots being rented out by the city and the amount of people traffic Journeyman would be receiving. We were disappointed to learn less than two weeks before our wedding that Journeyman was also hosting a concert and bourbon tasting in the courtyard, right outside our cocktail hour space. We are unsure if the addition of this event and Popcorn Fest contributed to the staffing and service issues we experienced however we thought it was important to note the issues we experienced for those who have booked or plan to book with Journeyman on their special day.
