fort pierre DRIFTERS EVENT CENTER
For couples seeking a picturesque destination wedding, Drifters Event Center offers a blend of waterfront views and exceptional service. Nestled along the Missouri River , the venue opened in May 2016, founded on owner Emily Steber’s passion for hospitality. “I’ve always had a deep connection to the hospitality industry and knew I wanted to create a space where couples could make lasting memories,” said Steber. Drifters Event Center keeps the wedding planning process simple with a thoughtfully curated all-in-one wedding package. This package includes the event space, tables and chairs, linens, projectors, screens, microphones, setup and teardown, a dance floor, and a full-service bar setup. Couples can also enhance their big day with add-ons like a scenic ceremony site, patio access, and an outdoor bar rental. The venue’s location offers easy access to amenities that elevate the guest experience, including three nearby hotels, boat slip rentals, an oversized fire pit, and sweeping views of the capitol building, Missouri River, and Riverwalk Landing Marina .
“We’re proud to provide couples with a venue that feels special and stress-free,” said event manager Kayla Nelson , who has been a dedicated team member since the very beginning. Nelson works closely with each couple to ensure their day unfolds effortlessly, bringing a personal touch and meticulous attention to detail. Steber shares guests rave about the dining experience, thanks to Drifters’ talented chef, Waylon Waite . “A dull meal is nowhere to be found here,” said Steber. “Chef Waite’s dishes are packed with flavor, and leave wedding guests talking about the meal for days afterward.” With its unique views, personalized service, and custom cuisine, Drifters Event Center is an ideal venue for couples looking to host a memorable wedding. “I love seeing people’s reactions when they first experience the property,” said Steber. “The scenery is stunning, and it’s always exciting to hear out-of- town guests marvel that such a gem exists in central South Dakota.”
