Funky Buddha Brewery

Words cannot adequately describe how grateful I am for the staff at the Funky Buddha Brewery! Having my cocktail hour and reception at the FBB was the best decision that I made for my wedding. Phil is a true professional and a pleasure to work 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%.

Having our wedding at Funky Buddha was by far the best decision we made for our wedding day. Everyone we worked with was so accommodating, responsive, patient, thoughtful, and kind throughout the entire process. We were able to customize the menu 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.

We had a great experience working with Phil, Jessenia, and the whole team at Funky Buddha. We had our first date and got engaged there so it was fitting for us to have our welcome dinner there. They were responsive and timely with their emails 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!!

Not a wedding review, but for a party in general (engagement, shower, etc): I just wanted to express my sincerest gratitude toward the entire team at Funky Buddha and let you know how truly happy we were with our mom’s 60th birthday party. From 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!)

I’d give them all the stars in the world for how amazing our wedding turned out. They were flexible, communicative, and super attentive throughout every part of the process. The night of our wedding ran so smooth and there was always someone close 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!

We hosted the Welcome Party for our wedding weekend with Funky Buddha. From initial conversation with Phil to the big day, everything was easy, straight forward, and super enjoyable with the team at Funky Buddha. I had so many questions over the 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!!

Funky Buddha is incredibly amazing. We did our wedding here and it doesn’t stop with the venue being incredible in general, the whole Funky Buddha events team and staff go above and beyond. I thank Phil, Katie, Jessenia, Aaron, Evelio, Ben and 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!

The best decision we made was choosing Funky Buddha Brewery as our wedding venue. The entire wedding planning process was such a wonderful experience, thanks to Katie and Phil. They were there for every single question we had and so helpful during 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!!

For years we have been going to Funky Buddha for our special moments, all leading up to our most special moment which FBB made absolutely spectacular! The staff was attentive and the drinks are always amazing; it is the perfect venue for the couple who wants to have a good time on their wedding day!

This was quite possibly the best decision we made during the whole wedding planning process. The venue is amazing, the food/drinks are stellar, and the events team is outstanding. They were a responsive, accommodating, and extremely thoughtful 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.

Wow! My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Funky Buddha Brewery and we cannot say enough positive compliments. Our guests expressed so much love for the unique space and were treated like gold. Katie, Philip, Yesenia, and the entire Funky Buddha team were so accommodating, friendly, professional, and fun. Thank you Funky Buddha for creating our perfect wedding day! Cheers!

Due to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding COVID-19, we were unable to have our dream wedding at Funky Buddha. But the experience with Phil and Katie until the point of cancellation was phenomenal. They were so accommodating and responsive 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.

We just had our reception at FBB and it was beyond amazing! It was everything we wanted out of the day and the team is so awesome to work with! They are definitely invested in your day and there to answer all your (5 million) questions along the 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!

From the beginning of the wedding planning process the staff at Funky Buddha were so friendly and helpful. Someone always replied to my emails in a timely manner and they were so receptive to the MANY questions that I had during the wedding planning 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!

We are beyond pleased with our decision to hold both our ceremony and reception at the Funky Buddha Brewery. Phil, Katie, and Jacob were so flexible, attentive to our requests, and collaborated beautifully with our day-of-coordinator. The space 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.

The venue was amazing from start to finish. They were very helpful with all the details for my wedding, I can tell they were very experienced in doing weddings. There staff was awesome, very friendly and accommodating. Would recommend this place.

Words cannot express how happy my now husband and I are with how perfect Funky Buddha turned out for our wedding! Since the first day we booked them, the entire process with Phil, Katie, and their team was easy, seamless, and exactly what we were 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!

The best venue! Katie and Phil are a complete pleasure to work with. Very understanding and accommodating to everyones needs, they truly take the stress off your shoulders. Beer and food out of this world as well. If you want a fun relaxing and memorable wedding this is the HOT spot. Everyone at funky Buddha goes above and beyond to ensure satisfaction and clientele happiness

As a wedding planner and someone who was also in the wedding party, Katie and her team made me feel so relaxed and confident that I could sit back and enjoy my time at the wedding. They had everything covered & also accepted when I stepped in to 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!

Funky Buddha was the PERFECT place for our wedding day. Everything was AMAZING, from the food, the planning, the drinks, etc. Katie and Phil made this such a pleasurable experience for us. I would recommend this venue to anyone. This venue was so unique and we received a lot of fantastic feedback from our guests.

I don’t even have enough words to describe our wedding experience at Funky Buddha. Throughout the process, everyone asked me if I was nervous or stressed about planning our wedding, and that would make me more nervous because I wasn’t stressed 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.

My husband and I are so happy we chose Funky Buddhafor our wedding! Phil and Katie are beyond professional and helpful. They run a top notch venue. The barrel room was romantic and cozy for our ceremony. My guests have not stopped raving about 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!

Katie, Phil, and crew were absolutely incredible throughout the whole process. They were such a joy to work with - they were attentive to the details, took such good care of us/our guests, and went above and beyond to help make our wedding special. 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!

One thing my husband and I quickly realized about planning a small wedding in Miami is that it was going to be ridiculously expensive and way out of our budget, even if we tried to keep it simple. I started researching breweries as potential locations 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!!

When I walked into Funky Buddha Brewery, I fell in love. I knew right away THIS will be the venue for my wedding. When people asked me where my wedding is taking place, and I tell them FB, I got the same reaction out of everyone. “REALLY?? I didn’t know you could have weddings there.” Even my fiancé was a little hesitant. We wanted a rustic theme wedding with a southern feel, and a lot of intimacy in a venue that will make everyone feel comfortable and this place nailed it! Phil, Katie, Jacob, and the whole Funky Buddha catering team did an amazing job. I cannot rave enough about them. They are so hands on and accommodating from the moment we went in to “look” at the venue all the way to the very end of the grand exit on my wedding day. We had close to 100 guests show up and about 11 kids. There was one room that we converted into a kids room and they turned on Netflix for the kids and it worked out great! There was more than enough staff working on our wedding day and super friendly to all of our guests. The bartenders were quick and kept a smile on their faces. They allowed us to convert the little beer sample cups into shot glasses and kept the crowd going with beer shots. They made it so fun for everyone. Also, we cannot forget about the food. Our guests are still raving about it. Who knew a brewery could cater such amazing food and huge portions! Last but not least, I wish I could post pictures on here to show you the endless decorating possibilities of this venue. You won’t get a better deal for a wedding venue than here at Funky Buddha Brewery. I’m super happy I chose this location. I’ll probably choose it again to host my next big event. A big Thanks to everyone at FBB!

I can't say enough good things about having our reception at Funky Buddha Brewery! Everyone involved went way above and beyond our expectations to make our day special. Katie was our event coordinator and Phil was head of catering. The two of them worked with us to make every detail perfect. The menu options were wonderful! and Delicious! Not your typical 'wedding' food. Part of the reason we chose not to go with a traditional wedding banquet hall was we wanted our guests to actually enjoy the food. Weeks later we are still getting compliments on how great the food was and how much fun the vibe was by having out reception at the brewery. It was laid back/relaxed, but elegant as well. Everyone had a great time. The event space is amazing! A large main room which we split into two different areas. They have really cool seating available, so we had one area a fun lounge/dance area and the other side set up with the tables for dinner seating. There is a large bar, off to one side of the room and a smaller room on each side of the bar. We had football playing on the tv's in these smaller rooms along with Giant Jenga and corn hole set up for guests to enjoy. One end of the space has large windows that let you see into the actual brewery! The room also has their own bathrooms available. One of the very unique experiences we got to take advantage of was having the photographer take some photos of us in the back with all the funky buddha brewery barrels and brewery equipment. (Very Noir!) The room was equipped with Amazing A/V capabilities too. We brought in our own computer and had a photo montage projected on two of the walls, as well has had our own music playing. They gave us access to a microphone so people could make speeches as well. if you're looking for something different and truly memorable for you and your guests this is the place to check out! the pricing was very reasonable & the service was impeccable. The funky buddha staff made this part of the wedding planning process extremely easy! And a special nod to Jacob and Aaron who also went above and beyond to help set everything up and make sure our lighting, music, video and other A/V needs were met. Other things to mention: Parking is amazing! Huge parking lot to accommodate big groups, the food is restaurant quality! not the basic wedding hall meals. Great variety of meal and hors d'oeuvre options. 12 beers on tap (You get choose which ones you'd like to have available) plus a variety of red and white wines as well. Also, there is a side entrance so the bride and groom can make their big entrance. The staff really went out of their way to make everything run smoothly. I would undoubtedly hold another event here!

Funky Buddha Brewery was by far the best place to plan a wedding at. I cannot imagine going through the planning process and all the details without Phil and Katie. They were outstanding from start to finish. I am from south Florida but now living in Georgia. Katie and Phil spent hours replying to emails, being available for phone calls, and making sure they were available anytime we came to town to check out our vendors. When my family heard we choose a brewery to get married at- they were skeptical- when the wedding was said and done- they could not believe how beautiful, romantic, fun, unique this venue was. They are still raving about the venue, wine/ beer selection, and most importantly the best wedding food they have ever had. We choose the BBQ buffet and it was a hit! The service provided by the entire Funky Buddha Staff was outstanding. Katie and Phil made our planning and wedding day go smoother than I could have ever imagined. I cannot say enough nice things about how generous, kind, and thoughtful Katie and Phil are. They are truly amazing people and I would choose Funky Buddha over and over again for any type of event. What an amazing experience. BEST DAY EVER – Thank you

I couldn't be happier with my choice of the reception venue. Phil, Katie, and all the staff were amazing, professional and kind. The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing, and the beer is the best around. They are incredibly accommodating and generous. 100% would recommend to any friend hoping to get married in the area. Thank you Funky Buddha for the best weekend of my life :)

Being both fans of craft beer & also long-time customers of Funky Buddha Brewery, having our wedding reception in their banquet room just made sense. It was the perfect blend of something unique, personal & "funky" for our celebration... not to mention had the greatest beer list of any wedding I've ever been to. However, even without being beer connoisseurs, there is a lot to appreciate about this venue. The room is unique, beautiful & needs very little to decorate... and the food is amazing. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. The whole planning process was super easy & smooth - their staff went out of their way to help us plan our event & were always available for questions. And the service from the awesome staff the day of, went above & beyond. We highly recommend having a Funky wedding!

Funky Buddha Brewery was the first and only venue we visited for our 75 person brunch wedding. From our initial visit and meeting with Phil in March of 2017 through our wedding reception on February 3, 2018, every interaction with Phil & Katie at the Buddha was a breeze. They were always available and super prompt to answer any question and offer suggestions too. From the first meeting, I knew they understood our vision and were excited to help us create it! Ben and I couldn't have hoped for a better team to get us through our wedding day. The week leading up to our wedding their was a small chance of rain and I wanted to risk it for an outdoor ceremony at a local park. The morning of the wedding it would not stop raining!! The team at Funky Buddha was incredibly flexible and willing to host our ceremony with just hours notice. They set up a beautiful and intimate ceremony in their barrel room at the back of the brewery and it was perfect! All our guests said this was a better than any park ceremony they had been to. After the ceremony, Funky Buddha had sample beers ready for the guests as a welcome drink before they went into the event room. Funky Buddha’s chef is a creative genuis!! All of the menu options sounded amazing and it was so tough to narrow down our menu! We are so happy with all the food and over the past few days almost all our of our guests have reached out to us to say it was the best wedding food they ever had! The chicken and waffles had an amazing jalepeno syrup that everyone raved about. Even a simple Cesar salad had a Funky twist to it that everyone loved! The brewery tours were a hit, our guests loved playing corn hole & jenga, the servers were super attentive and even the vibe of the room was exactly what we hoped for. I cannot thank Phil, Katie & the Funky Buddha team for making sure our day went smoothly! After months of planning, it all came together in ways better than I even imagined! If you’re looking for a unique venue with first class service, look no further than Funky Buddha Brewery!!!

My husband and I are huge craft beer fans, so naturally we love Funky Buddha. When we started planning our wedding, we realized that we had to keep everything in a very small budget. Funky Buddha's prices are so reasonable! We used one half of the private room for the ceremony. They provided seating, sound equipment, barrels for flower arrangements, and a lovely burgundy backdrop. Then, our guests moved to the other side of the ball room for a cocktail hour while my bridal party took photos. While we ate from the buffet (which was AMAZING), they rearranged the other half of the room and opened the dividers, providing high-tops, giant jenga, and corn hole. We used their sound system to play music from spotify throughout the ceremony/reception. As always, their food and beer were great! We were able to select the beers on tap before the wedding. They took my bridal party to the line and barrel room for photos. And they provided growlers for our centerpieces and beer for our wedding cake! (FYI: Enchanted Creations makes wedding cake soaked in beer and it's awesome, especially when soaked in Funky Buddha's French Toast Double Brown Ale). Everything was more beautiful than I could have possibly imagined! The staff was so helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process and day-off madness. Honestly, this venue is a steal. You receive such a high quality wedding for such a great price. I love the team there! Thank you all so much! My husband and I will be Funky Buddha fans for life :)
