Karrikin Spirits

Cincinnati, OH
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services

  • Starts at $2,000

Karrikin Spirits Company is a Cincinnati based craft distillery and event space in Fairfax, committed to exploring our love of flavors with the community. By definition, karrikins are the elements found in the smoke from a forest fire that trigger the regeneration of that forest. In the centuries since Whiskey Hollow was settled, those karrikins have been at work to bring distilling back to this very location on Cincinnati’s east side. In Spring of 2017, seven founding members with experience in brewing & distilling, woodworking, design, and more came together to purchase a building formerly occupied by Swallen’s and later, DnD Metal to start a journey of flavor and fire. From there, Karrikin Spirits Company was formed — a full-service, grain to glass distillery producing handcrafted spirits, sparkling spirits, non-alcoholic sodas, and beer. If you are interested in booking with us, please contact us directly. Details on how to reach us is found on our website.

21c: A modern, timeless, and elegant place to exhibit your love. Our 11:11 wishes came true when we exchanged our vows at 21c Museum Hotel this past November 11th. We hosted a private ceremony surrounded by our closest family members. The event was simple, intimate, and quite honestly–perfect. We were looking for a venue that fit our not so traditional vibe. The location, 21c, provided the most magical backdrop and we immediately knew it was the perfect place to host our #micromony. After visiting the solarium and surrounding galleries in person, we could so visualize our wedding taking place here and it felt like a dream come true. Danielle staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly so we could truly soak up the day. Their grace expertise were so appreciated during this overwhelming, beautiful slightly stressful time. Cheers to an everlasting marriage filled with happiness, laughter and lots of #LiegibelLove.

We loved The Spot! We had our wedding reception there in August. We has 185 guests attend, and the space was perfect size for it! The dance floor is huge, and you can have up to two bars including one big one! The location is perfect - we had out of town guests stay in hotels one block away and a lot of people walked to The Banks bars after the reception! Another great aspect is they let you bring in your own catering/alcohol, which gives a lot of flexibility (and isn’t as hard as you’d think to coordinate).

We had our ceremony and reception here and it was beautiful. There is a huge parking lot that made it easy for our guests who wanted to drive to do so and for our limo to pick us up. The entry way is spacious and has a security guard up front for the entire night. There was a beautiful staircase but also elevators for our guests with mobility issues. There were bathrooms both upstairs and downstairs as well. The venue itself is so beautiful we really needed minimal décor for it. There are awesome lights, barrels that were used as tables, and so much character to the space. Our bar package was through them as well. We hesitated when we saw the beer list (no IPS, craft, or seltzer options), but it ended up being perfect. Their open bar high-end option had plenty of other choices of liquor and wine our guests could also choose from and had a great time. The team did a great job – they set up all of the tables and chairs exactly like we wanted, did a great job running the bar, and gave us exactly what we needed. They were very kind and flexible with us as we asked questions throughout the process. Would highly recommend getting married here!
