Stumpy’s Spirits Co. is expanding its family and distilled business with the addition of a distillery inspired luxury wedding and event venue. This new build will be a multi-faceted experience center located in rural Columbia, Illinois, in the St. Louis market and near Stumpy’s distillery and eighth-generation family farm.
Providing an exclusive and remote experience for its visitors, the venue consists of a large ceremony hall, full-service bar and tasting room, indoor/outdoor lounge, lower-level event space, prep kitchens, offices, a bridal suite, a groom’s suite, multiple restrooms, outdoor spaces, and storage. The site will include new streets, three man-made lakes, a parking lot and walking paths.
This project is made possible by the support of local financial institutions and a $500,000 tourism grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. This grant was funded from a $22.5 million initiative that was distributed across the state, funding 89 projects that will ultimately increase tourism.
Brucon is serving as the Owner’s Representative and Poettker Construction is the General Contractor providing preconstruction services. DC Structures will be acting as the architect on the project with Heneghan and Associates, P.C., 303rd Engineering Group, LLC, and Interior Designer Samantha Lee as their engineering design partners.
The project is expected to be completed in 2024.
