Ryan Reynolds has your wedding covered this Valentine’s Day. For one day only, the Deadpool & Wolverine star, 48, and his Aviation American Gin are looking to make your special day even better with $214 weddings at the Aviation Gin Distillery in Portland, Ore. on February 14. To celebrate the holiday for lovers in a fun, exciting, and unconventional way, Reynolds’ gin brand is helping to make weddings memorable by adding “the intoxicating aroma of botanicals at the ever so romantic Aviation Gin Distillery,” according to a press release.
The weddings will be hosted at the bar and come equipped with a photographer and videographer, along with a cake and of course, a cocktail flight, the release adds. The $214 wedding also comes with a public tour of the distillery for soon-to-be newlyweds who are 21 years old and above, allowing strangers to witness your wedding. “Sounds weird? Absolutely. But why not! What better way to celebrate your Valentine? These strangers are about to become the unofficial extended family you never knew you needed,” the release further explains. “Post-vows, enjoy a smorgasbord of up to five mini-cocktails because nothing says ‘celebration’ like sampling gin with your newly minted in-laws and a bunch of new pals.”
In September 2022, Reynolds, who is co-owner of the Aviation Gin Distillery, shared what to expect when you attend a tour at the Portland facility. “Other distillery tours keep their visitors behind glass, but at Aviation, we know that people truly learn by doing,” the Marvel star joked at the time, humorously referring to putting patrons to work. But the Valentine’s Day perks don’t end there. A wedding officiant is also included to make your “I do’s” official; however, couples must have a marriage license at the time of the ceremony.
It is also suggested that the chosen lovebirds bring their own cake topper for this unforgettable experience. Aviation American Gin is infused with blended botanicals, including cardamom, coriander, French lavender, anise seed, sarsaparilla, juniper, and two kinds of orange peel before it gets soaked in a neutral grain spirit for 18 hours. After the distillation process, what makes the final cut is then blended and bottled for gin aficionados to enjoy responsibly.
