The interior design features embellishments of corrugated steel, wood, metal, and brick as well as concrete floors, vaulted ceilings, and exposed beams.

I’ve worked multiple weddings at Fête, Inc., and it’s incredible! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company, I love this one-of-a-kind v...
enue with its rustic-industrial charm, vaulted ceilings, and 13 acres of gorgeous meadows, pond views, and natural backdrops that make every bridal look shine. Highly recommend!
My husband and I picked Fete as our wedding venue. I was in love when I saw it the first time, and I was just as in love with it on my wedding day! It is such a beautiful elegant/m...
odern space to have your wedding. The bar was super great, the staff were incredible, and everything was super clean. You do have to pay for the staff to set up/clean up if you want that, but it is worth the money. I couldn’t recommend our manager at Fete enough, Miranda. Miranda was with us since day one with Fete. You get paired with a manager when you are interested in Fete, and we just got lucky that our manger was the one we got to have throughout the whole process. Miranda was SO helpful, so quick to respond, and so super kind. She helped us with so much and was so patient with us. She’s incredible. I would say to read all of Fete’s website and their add on’s and rules before booking with them. Their rules would not have not made me book with them, but there are several of them. Thank you for everything! – the Herrings 4/26/25
I would absolutely 1000% recommend Fete as a ceremony and reception venue. They have literally everything you could possibly want and need on your wedding day. It was so nice to ha...
ve dual getting ready suites and this was the only venue in the area that had that. the staff run like a well oiled machine. Our venue manager, Alix, was so prepared, communicative, friendly, and so easy to work with. I have never seen someone respond to emails as fast as she does, even for the random little questions that pop up when wedding planning. They had great vendor recommendations as well. Our wedding day ran so smoothly and Alix was a big part of that. We felt so loved and special!
Our wedding at Fête was everything we imagined and more! Our guests loved spreading out and enjoyed the various spaces to socialize, play bags, recharge, and watch the dance floor....
Miranda was so easy to work with, and we truly felt that she cared about us and our wedding day. I highly recommend having your event at Fête!
Alix is amazing to work with, she was so responsive and made the day so smooth. She offered to grab us drinks throughout the reception and checked in multiple times. The 10 am ti...
me to get in is the only reason I give this 4 stars, however, that is pretty standard at a lot of venues. The venue is so beautiful and the pond and outdoor ceremony make it easy to have you as the main focus.
From the moment I walked into Fete, I fell in love with the venue. The tall, exposed ceilings with the beautiful natural wood touches made the perfect space for our ceremony and re...
ception. We absolutely loved the bride and groom suites for getting ready and the deck and property is sooo beautiful! There is even a small pond with a fountain, a tree swing, and the cutest canoe that you can actually take out on the pond for some incredible photos!!
Alix was so helpful from start to finish and the communication was wonderful. Everything went so smooth from booking, to choosing extra packages to add on, to recommending vendors to us, and the day of went fantastic. The bar staff was amazing and everything went better than I could’ve imagined. We are so glad we got married at Fete and our guests couldn’t say enough about how much they loved the venue as well!
Fete is absolutely beautiful and the staff is great. My one gripe with fete (which you’ll hear the same from a lot of fete brides and vendors 😅) is the 10am start time. When you b...
ook the venue you don’t realize that’s an issue until you go to make your hair and makeup timeline and by then it’s too late and is extremely stressful on the bride to figure out. It would be ideal if they’d allow us to pay for an hour or two extra so that we can start hair and makeup earlier. The other venue we toured seemed a lot more accommodating with offering to unlock the door for us whenever we needed to start getting ready so this was a stark contrast. Fete also requires you to have EVERYTHING out at midnight and you can’t leave any decor there overnight to grab in the morning so we had to find a specific rentals company that would pick up their rentals that night. Both of these strict policies add extra stress and hassle to the bride/groom which is why I rated the venue a 4 instead of a 5. Other than that we had a great experience with Katie answering a lot of our questions and Alix as our day of coordinator!
Everything about this venue is perfect! The beauty is unlike any other and the staff is so kind and helpful leading up to and the entire day of the wedding. From planning to the da...
y of the wedding, the staff was so supportive and made everything so easy!
Our event was flawless with little to now hiccups! Our experience with the staff at Fete was amazing. Our event manager was Cecelia and she was always attentive and approachable fo...
r any and all questions throughout the entire process from start to finish. If she did not know the answer to a question, she was very prompt in finding the right answer and did so in a timely manner. The staff throughout the evening were beyond amazing. They were very attentive with servicing the guests, especially for my husband and I, always asking if we needed something to drink, eat, etc. They are somewhat strict with some of their rules regarding what is and isn't allowed onsite and what can and can't be done day of (all venues have their own special rules); however, this didn't deter our plans too much and the event was still beyond amazing! The grounds onsite are amazing for pictures! I highly recommend going to their open house that they hold 1-2x a month and talk with the event managers onsite in addition to trying to schedule a private tour! If you're looking for industrial rustic, this is your spot!
Fete was the one and only wedding venue we toured and we could not have been happier to have our wedding there! The venue and the grounds are stunning - we have had so many guests ...
rave about how beautiful everything was! The staff is also excellent - Katie is very kind and helpful, and our event manager Alix was the best! They were all so helpful and accommodating, they truly do want everything to be perfect for you on your special day. 10/10 recommend Fete!
It was absolutely fate that we found this venue for our fall wedding! Not only is the venue absolutely stunning and dreamy but all the amenities are fantastic, from the bridal and ...
groom suites to the beautiful property with all kinds of unique places for photo opps to everything else in between. We still have guests talking about how beautiful the venue was. It was wonderful working with Nicole throughout the process. Thank you to Nicole and her team for your professionalism, your responsiveness, and overall excellent service throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding. If you're looking for a venue, look no further than fete!
Don't hesitate to book Fete!! Katie was amazing to work with from start to finish, answering every question I had quickly and thoroughly. This made the entire planning process so s...
mooth and easy. The venue itself is GORGEOUS! The bridal and grooms suites are perfect for getting ready in. So much room for everyone and gorgeous for pictures! We kept all of our decor very simple and let the venue speak for itself, our guests were in awe of it!! There are so many perfect backdrops for onsite pictures. Leading up to the wedding, Katie was so helpful with easing any covid concerns; always one step ahead and thinking about all possibilities. On the day of, Katie and her staff were on point. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Bartenders were great, and the staff packed up everything at the end of the night for us so we could continue to enjoy the night as long as possible. Everyone was so kind and helpful! I truly felt that our wedding was perfect and relaxing, and so much of that is owed to the venue and staff. I will forever highly recommend Fete.
Fete was such an amazing venue!! Katie and Nicole were so nice to work wit. Covid caused us to have so many questions and concerns, but they stayed on top of everything!! The venu...
e and property is beautiful and immaculate!! We had so many compliments about what a perfect venue this was!!!
We knew when we first toured Fete that it was perfect for our wedding:) Meeting and working with Katie made our whole journey perfect. We were one of the first couples to have to ...
make the decision of what to do once COVID hit and we could not be happier we were with Fete. They handled everything perfectly both for us as a couple and as a new business hit by this pandemic. We had multiple options and Katie was there every step of the way to support our decisions. They have a great network of vendors to share with you but you are not limited to using them. Everything was flawless on our wedding day and I would, and do, recommend Fete to all couples looking in this area. Multiple guests made comments about how wonderful the venue and staff were as well. I am so happy they made the decision to create this amazing facility and for the amazing job they do to run it. 5 stars to an rustically elegant venue❤️ Thank you Fete!
This venue is an absolute dream! Whether you're indoors or out, the backdrops are gorgeous. Being a newer venue, thrown into the industry during a pandemic, they've done a great jo...
b navigating it all. We were able to work directly on our day with Cecelia, who was so sweet and helpful. But all contacts were great and questions were always answered promptly.
They are beautiful and book far out, now that they're more well known - so definitely don't wait around!
Ohh where to start. I am almost speechless, fete is perfect for any wedding. The owners are OUTSTANDING and understanding. We had our ceremony outside and reception inside at fete,...
no complaints...only compliments. We had to plan during the pandemic and if it wasn't for our venue we would have lost our minds. The space is big and spread out, we had about 110 guests. Bar is big, bride and grooms getting ready rooms are even better! Also, great spot for on sight photos😊 It is the perfect all in one spot💕
Such a GORGEOUS venue!! Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Katie was amazing and always there for any question I had. She got back very fast every time. The ro...

ide and Groom sweets are absolutely incredible and a nice place to be able to get away from the madness for a few moments and use your own bathroom if needed. I cannot recommend this venue enough, you will not be disappointed!
