Feasts of Fancy Loft Space & Urban Courtyard

g for our rehearsal to learn (on our own, not from them) that there was an EDM festival happening right across the street the day of our wedding. They also told us guests would be able to park in the lots across the street, but the lots were sold prior to our wedding and they did not feel the need to tell us. We understand the festival was out of their control, but feel they misled us on a few fronts, which negatively impacted our day – affecting our plans and timeline, forcing us to make many changes the day of our wedding, and creating parking issues for many of our guests. To us, it feels irresponsible and naïve on their part to be so proactive in telling us there would not be any major noise issues affecting our wedding (ceremony & cocktail planned in their outdoor courtyard) without knowing or seeing if that was really the case. Most disappointing is that they stated that it’s not their responsibility or problem to know or pay attention to events happening in their neighborhood which could affect their events. For this, we would not recommend them as an event venue, as we feel similar situations are likely to happen to others in the future. One of our vendors informed us the morning of the wedding that the venue told them we were moving everything indoors (we had never said or agreed to that) and we believe their desire for us to do so, also meant they did not clean the courtyard for our ceremony as they had told us they would. It was very dirty. When we reached out following the wedding, they were unresponsive for weeks and when we finally did get a response from one of the owners, Joel, it was quite rude, dismissive, and condescending.

a step above your normal wedding buffett (and I honestly still think about how much I loved their succotash and potato salad). The venue is clean, cute, and easily accessible. We were able to just bring table decorations and didn't have to spend a lot of time adding extra decor because it is already so charming inside. They were great dealing with our go-with-the-flow timing, you can bring your own alcohol, they are super responsive. I would absolutely recommend going with them to host your wedding and/or reception. Plus - they include everything (tables, chairs, linens, staff, etc) so it is really affordable, without feeling like you cut corners. We were thrilled to celebrate our wedding here and you will be too!

moothly as possible. On the day of the wedding, the staff were so accommodating and attentive. The space was beautiful and I felt that all of my wishes during the planning process were honored. The food was also fantastic; we had multiple guests tell us it was the best food they have had at a wedding. I would absolutely recommend Feasts of Fancy for those who are planning a wedding.

more beautiful than I could have imagined and the outdoor space was a hit with the kids at our wedding. We also used FoF for catering which got rave reviews from our guests!

talking with people at other venues just how much FOF takes care of for you! It was perfect for us as a couple planning a wedding from out of town. We loved the outdoor space for the venue and at first I was nervous about the Oscar style seating rain plan, but those fears were unfounded because when we *did* have to shift indoors because of rain, the space was perfect and made us feel surrounded by love. There was still plenty of room for all the guests, seating for immediate family, and room for all of the bridal party and groomsmen to stand. The food was INCREDIBLE- we did serving stations and every single one was amazing, our guests raved about all the food. It's also great that you can bring in your own alcohol and return what is unopened- it was so nice to be able to have the drinks of your choice and not have to do a bar package per head. The servers were also incredible and did a phenomenal job with everything. We couldn't imagine our wedding anywhere else!

They let us bring our own alcohol and served it exactly as requested and the food was so delicious, everyone was talking about it! The space was even more beautiful than I had pictured once we had it all decorated, and everything literally came together like a dream. The service the day of was impeccable as well, the waiters were attentive and even placed guests’ napkins on the backs of their chairs when they got up. It was such a pleasure to work with Camille too, and her sense of humor helped lighten the mood at just the right moments! So happy we chose to use Feasts of Fancy.

ccommodate us for our menu requests, even last minute when we forgot to request a gluten free meal (oops!), and everything was delicious. Everything went so smoothly, highly recommend!

tellar. Vicki and Camille know exactly what they are doing and are SO helpful. Set-up was very easy and they made clean-up/packing up decor that we brought, flowers, extra booze, etc at the end of the night very easy. I even left my cell phone in the bridal suite by accident after my spouse and I left for the night and Vicki helped us get it back the following day before we left for our honeymoon. Last but not least, the outdoor courtyard space was icing on the cake!

duling everything. On the day-of, the staff was friendly and helpful, always around to refill a plate or drink. The food was delicious and we received a ton of compliments on it. We didn't do much decoration to the venue because it already was so beautiful. I definitely would recommend working with them.

planning process. The tastings beforehand let us sample all the amazing food (bacon wrapped, goat cheese stuffed dates are a must!). We were taken care of the whole night and felt like royalty! They accommodated for special dietary restrictions and made us feel very safe. We could not recommend them enough!

your typical event space. From the original wood floors to the brick walls, rustic pillars, and cobblestone courtyard, this venue is vintage chic and so gorgeous. It needed very few added decorations, as they already have lanterns with battery-operated candles and café lights hung both indoors & out. Vines climb the fences outside, making for a great photo backdrop. In regards to Covid, we did re-schedule twice with no issues. Since the pandemic, they told us they installed UV Scrubbers and HEPA filtration for their HVAC system at double the room capacity. With the recent surge of the Delta variant, we did have a lot of guests who were initially nervous about coming but in the end told us they felt safe and comfortable at our wedding. We had just shy of 100 guests in attendance so we were able to space out the tables pretty well. The food was delicious and the tasting events provided us so much inspiration! It was like a mock-wedding every time we went-- a great time to meet new vendors and see how they would use fun linens and different floral arrangements. To see the food displayed at our wedding was beautiful & impressive- it's unlike any other buffet I've seen! The staff filled the plates for each guest in line due to Covid. The BEST part of our experience though was the staff. Camille was our day-of coordinator and she is a true professional. The whole event ran so smoothly. We heard positive stories from guests afterwards of how the servers were kind & attentive. For example one brought their kids some extra fruit and made sure the vegetarian and gluten-free guests were served their alternate meal options. They also offered to serve the older guests even though we only paid for the buffet. They provided champagne service and also offered to serve the cake as well. So much is included when you book with Feasts of Fancy. You should have no hesitations when considering this venue!

ot. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable. Camille was so easy to work with and gave honest opinions on our ideas and choices which I really appreciated. The food was AMAZING and we got so many compliments on it. I loved that we didn't need to book other vendors for food, linens, glassware, bar staff, etc. Everything was included. Last, but not least, the space is stunning. We really didn't have to do much decorating because the space is so beautiful on it's own. I HIGHLY recommend booking Feasts of Fancy for your wedding. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

le our wedding. The owners (Andy and Kathleen Jacot) were extremely transparent throughout this process. They communicated to us that they were not able to host any weddings at the venue in May and told us as soon as they were made aware of these changes. They provided us with a list of open dates and we were able to reschedule our wedding to June 5th fairly easily. Later, when Andy and Kathleen were told that they couldn’t host any weddings in early June, they displayed the same transparency and told us as soon as possible so that we could reschedule again to late July. We truly believe that if we had been working with any other venue that we would have probably had to have cancelled our wedding and elope. Thankfully, the staff and owners at Feasts of Fancy were transparent, easy to work with, and communicative with us from the beginning and we were able to celebrate our special day. From the complimentary monthly tastings, working with our day of wedding coordinator (Vicki) to map out the perfect timeline and get her insights on colors, themes, etc., recommendations provided by Feasts of Fancy for third party vendors (i.e., music, flowers, etc.), we could not have had a better wedding planning experience (despite having to reschedule multiple times). The staff at Feasts of Fancy ensured that everyone at our wedding was safe and had a great time celebrating us. Andy recommended that we use UV air purifiers in an effort to kill any airborne germs that may have been present inside during the reception and the staff set up some tables outside for guests that were not comfortable sitting inside. The staff used gloves, worse masks, and served everyone their food on a plate individually in an effort to be as safe as possible. This paid off as we are happy to report that none of the guests that attended our wedding contracted COVID-19. We had numerous friends and family members compliment us on our signature drink that the staff at Feasts of Fancy prepared and almost everyone asked us for the potatoes au gratin recipe that was served as a side dish. Needless to say, the food was excellent and served as an exclamation point on our special day. We were so happy that we had the opportunity to choose exactly what we wanted to be served at the wedding after attending numerous tastings and with recommendations from Vicki / the staff. The experience provided to us is not unique, as the staff at Feasts of Fancy makes everyone feel like their wedding is the most important and does whatever they can to have each wedding go as smooth as possible. Our wedding was truly was a dream come true and it was a pleasure to work with Feasts of Fancy. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

tched its presentation, and an all in one venue. FOF gave me all of these and more. The price may look a little "high", but when you break it all out, it is VERY affordable. Especially for what you get. Really can't say enough great things about FOF, John, and Camile.

wedding. Their staff felt like friends and it felt like they genuinely had my best interest at heart. The location is beautifully rustic and was the courtyard was a dream in the October weather. I would choose Feasts of Fancy again in a heartbeat and I have not even mentioned their incredible catering!

ou don't want to worry about your event. Go with Feasts of Fancy. They take the worry , and stress out. The staff is professional , and all of the guests gave compliments about the entire night. Thanks again . Kim Owens

o took the time to tell us how much they enjoyed it. Our coordinator, Camille, made the process easy by being laid back and approachable while also very organized. It really was the perfect day, and my husband and I are so grateful to the FoF staff for everything they did to make it happen!

ocess. The food was amazing, the space transformed easily to fit out vision, and the schedule was followed perfectly. We received so many compliments from guests on everything about The Hobbs. I absolutely recommend them for any couple searching for the perfect venue.

for anyone looking for an event space.

nner. She was a great resource to us as we were planning the reception. She gave us honest feedback about timelines, ideas, and menus. She truly understood our vision and ensured it would come to life. She made the entire process fun and stress-free. She coordinated everything among our vendors flawlessly. We never worried about anything, because we knew Dana had it handled. As for the space, it's super cool. Rustic and charming, and can be made more urban chic or more farmhouse-like, depending on your taste. It really doesn't need much decor added to it. The courtyard is large and shaded. We ended up tenting it and put our band out there - plenty of room for a dance floor and tables for our 225 guests. The food is fantastic! So many menu options. The tastings were a great way to sample items we were considering, as well as an opportunity to see Dana and ask any questions we had. A bonus, too, is that you provide your own alcohol, which can be a big cost savings. The evening of our reception, Dana was everywhere, attending to everything, making sure everyone was taken care of. And she did it all in such a calm manner - a true professional. I cannot think of one thing that Dana and Feast of Fancy could have done to make the experience better. Everything was perfect!!

ented on how good the food was. We used both the courtyard and inside space for the reception. Only thing to keep in mind is that you may need to rent a tent for the courtyard if weather doesn't cooperate. Highly recommend this venue and catering.

our event as well!! Everything was delicious. We were so happy with everything, the entire experience of the venue was beyond what we could have imagined and I know it was because the staff and management at The Hobbs knocked it out of the park for us. Food, ambiance, hospitality....you get the whole package here!!!

ook care of even the tiniest details and allowed us to enjoy our daughter's reception to the fullest. I can't imagine planning this event without Dana by my side. If you are looking for a beautiful venue, delicious food, professional staff and just generally nice people, then look no further than Feasts of Fancy at The Hobbs Building.
