Company parties, fundraisers, rehearsal dinners and weddings for 25 to 300 seated guests take place at the Little Miami Brewing Company Event Center, the private events space of a craft brewery on Mill Street in Historic Old Milford, Ohio, above the Little Miami River.
Seminars and company events
Corporate events, holiday parties, fundraisers and graduation parties are part of the regular calendar, with their own rates separate from weddings. The two rooms can be booked one at a time or together, so a team of 40 and a company party of 250 can both find a suitable size. Audiovisual equipment is included: two 85-inch screens on mobile carts, a speaker system and a wireless microphone, enough for presentations, awards or a short program during dinner. A day-of event coordinator and bartenders come with the rental, and tables and chairs are set up and cleared by the venue staff.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold the ceremony and the reception on site, indoors or outside. The patio overlooks the river and has fire pits, lounge furniture and cocktail tables, which suits a cocktail hour after an outdoor ceremony. Furniture provided includes 5-foot round tables, 8-foot rectangular tables, a farm table for the wedding party and padded folding chairs, with basic linens and napkins in a choice of colors. Most couples book six to twelve months ahead, according to the venue.
Rooms and capacities
The event center has two indoor rooms separated by glass garage doors that open or close. The smaller room seats 25 to 75 guests and the larger one seats 75 to 225. With the doors open, the combined space seats up to 300. Both rooms share the look of the brewery taproom, with brick, wood and metal finishes, high ceilings, festoon lighting and chandeliers. Several garage doors and windows bring in daylight and open onto the patio.
Catering
Bartenders are part of the rental. For smaller events early in the week, the venue offers a catered menu of pizza, pretzels and Caesar salad for up to 120 guests from Sunday to Thursday. For other menus, ask the event sales coordinator which caterers the venue works with, since the website does not set out a catering policy.
History and setting
The event center belongs to Little Miami Brewing Company, a brewery and taproom with its own pizza kitchen. The building stands in the historic center of Milford, a small town east of Cincinnati, and the patio looks over the Little Miami River, though the site has no direct access to the riverbank. A first aid cabinet and a defibrillator are on site.
Getting there
The address is 208 Mill Street, Milford, Ohio 45150. Parking is shared with the brewery, and sections of the lot are reserved for event guests. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is the main airport for the region.
