Host Your Event at a Working Distillery

Reserve private event space at Claremont Distillery in Hamburg, New Jersey

When you book a private event at Claremont Distillery in Hamburg, you're hosting your guests in a working distillery with multiple rooms, flexible layouts, and access to spirits and cocktails made on-site. The space works for corporate gatherings, rehearsal dinners, milestone celebrations, and private parties where you want something more distinctive than a hotel ballroom or restaurant back room.

The distillery can accommodate up to 200 guests depending on which rooms you reserve and how the space is configured. You'll work with staff to plan the layout, select drinks, and confirm timing, and Claremont Distillery will help coordinate with caterers, florists, and other vendors you bring in. The setting gives your event a built-in atmosphere without requiring heavy decoration or staging, and guests will have the option to tour the production areas if you want to include that as part of the experience.

How the space is set up and what's included

You'll have access to multiple rooms within the distillery, each with different seating capacities and layouts. Staff will help you determine which rooms work best for your guest count and event type, and they'll assist with floor plans, bar placement, and flow between areas. You can choose to keep the event contained to one room or open up additional spaces depending on your needs and the size of your group.

After you finalize the layout, you'll work with Claremont Distillery to select a drink menu that fits your event. You can serve cocktails made with spirits distilled on-site, offer tastings as part of the evening, or keep the bar simple with beer, wine, and a few signature drinks. The bar is fully stocked, and staff will handle service throughout the event so you don't need to hire outside bartenders unless you prefer to bring your own team.

You'll also have the option to coordinate with caterers, decorators, musicians, and other vendors, and the distillery staff will help manage timing and logistics so everything runs smoothly. The space works well for seated dinners, standing receptions, and mixed formats where guests move between rooms or activities. Because it's a working distillery, the setting adds character and conversation without requiring extensive decoration or theming.
