Funky Buddha Brewery

d the staff checking in with me and making sure we had everything we needed. I found myself without a day of coordinator last minute and I really appreciated FB's assistance and making our wedding unforgettable.

with. Jessenia, my rock, was so kind and helpful in the planning process! Both are extremely responsive to questions and work to ensure that your day/event is exactly what you imagined. Joseph made our specialty cocktail dreams come true! On the day of the wedding, our assigned banquet captain was THE BEST. The event staff constantly made sure that drinks and food were refreshed. My guests loved the food, drinks and atmosphere. My guests, husband and I honestly had FUN at my wedding. To top it all off, the pricing was fair/reasonable. The FBB will forever hold a special place in our hearts. I recommend them 1000%.

nu to exactly what we wanted within our budget. We ended up renting out the barrel room for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and the banquet hall plus the game room for the reception to accommodate our guest size of 135. Both spaces were unique in their own way and we are so glad we utilized all of the event spaces. We had a large dance floor, a side room for a photobooth, and even cornhole. The barrel room had jenga, a ping pong table, and cornhole for cocktail hour, which were all huge hits. Phil is consistently trying to improve the event space and we were the firsts to have the ping pong table and the farm doors into the barrel room. Throughout the wedding night, the staff were always checking in on us to see what we needed. They made us feel at ease and we felt taken care of the whole night. The food quality well exceeds what one would expect from a brewery and let alone most wedding venues. Of course the beer was top notch and our guests even raved about our whiskey sour cocktail. Not only are we on cloud 9 from last weekend, but we’ve had many guests say that this was their favorite wedding they’ve ever been to. We live out of state and Phil/Jessenia were always available to answer any of our questions and even do a virtual tour. We highly recommend Funky Buddha for your next event whether you live in Florida or out of state.

and requests, they executed a gorgeous event without any additional design items from us, their AV was fantastic, and the food and drinks were beyond delicious. We truly are grateful for them as it was so meaningful for us to have kicked our wedding weekend off there. More than just a brewery!!

the constant communication with Phil and Jessenia to my arrival with the cake, where I was helped by Frank and a few others to make sure I could keep the cake refrigerated to the bar tenders and Aaron and Iliana (I apologize if I have her name wrong), who was so SO helpful in every way, helping to put up decorations, making sure we were all happy with how things were, and most importantly hyping up our mom to make her feel so special. I was already excited about hosting the party at Funky Buddha and the entire team was truly so instrumental in ensuring everything went beautifully. I also can’t finish this review without raving about the food. I’ve been dreaming about the brisket for the last week and a half. My only regret is not going for seconds. (I’m also sad I didn’t get to try the apple crisp though. It smelled delicious!)

ose by to help with anything we needed. Drinks were amazing, food was to die for, especially the Mac and cheese station. The team will take the best care of you on your special day. We utilized the barrel room for our ceremony and reception, and their fun and funky banquet room for the cocktail hour. Go see this space if you’re looking for something different and unique here in south Florida. You will fall in love with the barrel room!

e 6 months we planned our event, but Phil and Jessenia were always so helpful. We hosted about 90 people in their beautiful private room. The food was amazing (we did sliders, pretzels, cookies, brownies, dips station) and our guests raved about the entire event from top to bottom. People said the cookies and brownies were the best they've ever had in their life. This was the perfect location for our celebration and the best way to kick off our wedding weekend. I can't wait until I have another event to host at Funky Buddha!!

the rest of the AMAZING team for everything. Our guests, to this day, rave about the food and dessert. Funky Buddha offers so much customization even with their food options, that truly they can accommodate how you envision your big day. My husband and I love that we can go eat in the taproom that is open to the public, and we can reminisce and be at the actual spot we got married. We wish we could get married over and over and over again….luckily they host vow renewals too!

ing such a stressful time. They were dependable and professional as we planned. As the wedding approached, we had a small walkthrough to rehearse the day before and it went so smooth! The day of the wedding truly was such a dream come true thanks to the staff! Katie, Evelio, Jessenia, and the rest of the staff were so organized throughout the entire night. They went above and beyond for us and our guests. The food, decor, drinks, and general atmosphere was exceptional. We are so incredibly happy that we chose Funky Buddha Brewery to host our dream wedding!!

uple who wants to have a good time on their wedding day!

group. I cannot say enough good things about them. We had multiple guests tell us how much they loved the venue and how nice the staff was. The Funky Buddha crew are amazing at what they do and it really helped us relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that we were in good hands at the reception.

d the entire Funky Buddha team were so accommodating, friendly, professional, and fun. Thank you Funky Buddha for creating our perfect wedding day! Cheers!

ive which made trying to plan a wedding in Florida from New Jersey so much easier. When we made the devastating decision to cancel our wedding, Phil and the Funky Buddha team couldn’t have been more understanding and respectful. If you’re thinking about booking a wedding here, don’t think twice.

he way. Also, it’s such a different and fun space... all we’ve heard from every one of our guests was how awesome it was!

nning process. Meeting the day of wedding coordinators ahead of time in person was super helpful to discuss those final details that could end up being stressful but weren't thanks to the hard work of the staff. Katie, Stephanie, and Jacob were super accommodating. They work so hard to make your special day exactly how you want it. Funny story: The day of the wedding as I was getting dressed, the left strap of my wedding dress broke literally as we were getting ready to leave the hotel. I grabbed a sowing kit from the front desk and headed to the venue. Katie who was as calm as a cucumber very swiftly sowed my strap back into place. Her calmness made me feel so calm. I know my friends were freaking but I knew that Katie would know how to make it right. I mean talk about going above and beyond she literally sewed my dress back together minutes before I was supposed to walk down the isle. The staff were great about greeting and directing the guests before the ceremony. The guests were a huge fan of the beer samples that were provided before the ceremony started. Even some of the non-beer drinkers ended up enjoying beer by the end of the wedding. The staff also helped keep us on track during the reception both time wise and from an organizational stand point. The venue itself was perfect. We had both our ceremony and reception at The Funky Buddha and it was a smooth transition going from the ceremony to the reception. The table layout was perfect, the food was delicious, the rooms basically decorate themselves but with a few flowers the rooms looked even more magical. Everybody was out on the dance floor living it up. So many of my friends and family have told me that this was the most fun wedding that they have even been to and that that "vibe" was perfect and full of happiness. I have to give lots of credit to the staff for that. Thank you all so much for making our wedding so special. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to others! You rock Funky Buddha Brewery!

e is so eclectic and has such good energy; our guest gushed at how a brewery transformed itself into one of the "best wedding locations I've ever been to". Received great compliments on the food and the unique hors d'oeuvres, including the pretzel and beer cheese display. There are hidden perks when booking this venue, including beer tasters prior to the ceremony and the ability to pick your own beer taps. Cannot say enough about Jacob who helped oversee operations the day of the wedding. He was attentive not only to his staff but also to guests, proving personal assistance to our older guests. SO many compliments on our wedding and honestly a lot of the credit goes to these guys. A unique venue for an unforgettable moment in life.

e.

re looking for. They were willing to offer anything we needed for decor, went above and beyond for our food and beer tastings, and were communicative throughout the entire planning process. The day of the wedding absolutely took our breaths away with how everything turned out, the staff was super friendly and helpful to all guests, and the food was out of this world. Would highly recommend Funky Buddha to anyone!

d memorable wedding this is the HOT spot. Everyone at funky Buddha goes above and beyond to ensure satisfaction and clientele happiness

o assist! They went above and beyond to ensure the couple felt like a King & Queen as well as made every guest feel special.  I would HIGHLY recommend to couples that are looking for a unique venue to check out Funky Buddha Brewery. From the attentive staff to the delicious food and brews, Funky Buddha is a hidden gem in South Florida!

so unique and we received a lot of fantastic feedback from our guests.

or nervous at all! I can say that’s because of the staff working at Funky Buddha. Phil, Katie, Stephanie, Jacob, and their entire staff has been beyond incredible and professional, from wedding planning to the day of, they are with you every step of the way. Whatever I asked for or requested, without hesitation or questions asked, they would do it (if it was attainable). Because we were having a hands on, DIY wedding in which we did the decor ourselves (with lots of help from friends and family), I was concerned with being able to decorate in time. I expressed this concern to the staff and they offered for us to come in the day before our wedding to set up the barrel/ceremony room and table decor (which most places would never allow). That day they had an employee available to assist us decorating who was also THE BEST (shout out to Reina). They greeted my friends and I with a 6 pack and were eager to help us set up. The day of the actual ceremony and wedding went as smooth as possible. My friends showed up a few hours before to make sure everything was in place... and they had nothing to do because everything was perfect! The staff even made their own arrangements for areas that they thought needed more decor. They provide you with growlers, burlap runners, tea light candles, you name it! You literally just need to bring yourselves and flowers. To be honest, before meeting the staff at Funky Buddha and seeing their beautiful location, we didn’t even want to do a ceremony and wedding. But we were convinced when we saw the barrel/ceremony room, reception room, and met the staff and saw what they had to offer— not to mention your guests get beers as soon as they arrive to your wedding! For food we went with their BBQ buffet- we got brisket, chicken, Mac& cheese, baked beans, Cole slaw, cesar salad, and corn bread. The food was DELICIOUS all our guests went back for seconds (and some even had 3 plates) and gave us compliments on how great the food was. And the beer, without question, best beer. They give you 8 different selections of wines (4 red, 4 whites) and 12 different beers for your guests to pick from. Talk about a great variety and selection! Everyone always says they never really enjoy their wedding day; they don’t have time to sit down, eat, and enjoy themselves... honestly for us, that was just not true. And I can say it’s all thanks to Funky Buddha and those who made it all possible. If you’re considering a different, beautiful, exciting, and stress free brewery wedding, without hesitation Funky Buddha is the location for you.

the decor and the delicious food. Katie and Aaron made the day seamless. They, along with the rest of the staff, were extremely thoughtful as to my and my husband's needs. A perfect, hidden gem!! We can't thank the Funky Buddha team enough for being a part of our day!

cial. The venue itself is phenomenal and was exactly what we were looking for - a space with personality, that felt intimate, that had delicious food (so many compliments throughout the night!), and not to mention the great beer selections (again, so many compliments, we keep hearing from guests about how much they loved the beer choices). We are so grateful for the Funky Buddha team!

cations outside of Miami, and I had remembered Funky Buddha from a brewery tour 6 or 7 years ago. When I started looking into their banquet room rental and catering menus, I immediately became interested in finding out more. Between their detailed website, 360-degree online tour, and a speedy response film Phil Colp (Director of Catering), we were on our way to narrowing down our location! Once we got there and saw the beautiful banquet room in person (rustic with a funky modern twist), we were sold! And then came the surprise unplanned food and beer tasting... 😮 As if we weren't already convinced, the food was amazing! (Statler chicken, goat cheese pasta, roasted veggies, and their to-die-for bread pudding were our final selections after this tasting!) We were so excited and decided on the spot that this would be the place, even without seeing any other locations. Phil, Katie (Assistant Catering Manager & Banquet Event Coordinator), and the entire banquet staff were incredible! We met one more time in person to smooth out the planning details, and we were able to plan everything else via email. Communication was easy and straightforward, which we appreciated since we didn't want to make the 45 min drive to Oakland Park too many times before the wedding. (Although we actually ended up taking our engagement photos there as well! We highly recommend pics in the brewery, barrel room, bar, and outside near the train tracks. 😍) We decided to do both our ceremony and reception in the same location, and with a bit of creativity and a ton of help from the banquet team, everything went as planned without any issues! Our guests told me on multiple occasions how nice, helpful, and accommodating the entire team was. They also kept my husband and I in mind, checking in with us periodically and making sure we had food and drinks in the midst of everything. We couldn't be more thankful for such an amazing team! Cheers!!
