Review Summary
This AI-generated summary is a snapshot of this vendor's ratings and feedback.
The Fez delivered an outstanding all‑inclusive wedding experience with attentive staff who guided couples from planning through the day. Food, signature drinks, and included items (cake, linens, chairs) were highly praised, and guests enjoyed the private suite and staircase entrance. A single unfriendly bartender was the only noted blemish.Review photos

We had the most perfect wedding day at The Fez! The staff were incredibly kind and ensured my husband and I had the best time and did not have to stress about a single thing. The v...
enue could not have made our night better. My parents also had their reception here in 1993 so it was so special to recreate memories in the same space they did all those years ago. Steve and Deb were so thoughtful and really just wanted to make sure everyone had the best night. From planning to execution, everyone at The Fez was absolutely amazing! Also, the food was 10/10 all our guests LOVED it.

Absolutely fantastic. As someone who had no idea how to wedding plan and needed guidance, the Fez was perfect. I would say, if you have very specific ways you want your wedding, it...
may not be the place for you. I was very flexible and needed guidance, so having their help was awesome. We did our ceremony and reception there and I could not have asked for a more amazing time. I was nervous at first, as the venue is not really "eye catching" but after I added my touches, it was perfect and looked amazing in the photos.

s before the wedding to go over details and make decisions for the day of. We got to pick almost everything and had the ceremony and reception here. They helped us from the start to the end of our wedding day. The bartender was knowledgeable and the blue signature drink, electric lemonade was a huge hit with everyone. All the food was fantastic and I wish I would have gone up for seconds. Everyone had fun and it was a great place to get married, the girls and I also had a private suite upstairs to get dressed in and got to do a staircase entrance which was fun!

sting but wasn’t disappointed. The only issue we heard about after the reception was -about the bartenders. We had two all night but one was not friendly and personable. Many comments under her breath that weren’t nice and were un-necessary. That would be the only little blemish on the night

I had my wedding at The Fez on 11/12/2022. This venue is FANTASTIC. The entire process from the time we toured the Fez- to the end of our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Debby...
is one of a kind. She made everything a breeze and was such a huge help from start to finish. It was such a pleasure to work with her all year.
I worked with Gianna and Steven on the big day. Because of these two- it was an 100% STRESS FEE day. Everything stayed on schedule and everybody knew where they needed to be at all times. I did not have to worry about a single thing.
The staff, the food, the location itself... The Fez is incredible. I cannot recommend it enough. They make everything so easy for you. I cannot thank you all enough for making my wedding what it was.

I really do not know where to start. The Fez was wonderful from the beginning. We scheduled with the fez at the end of last summer (2019). They were wonderful then with giving u...
s a customized buffet menu.
Then hits 2020, we had to switch to a sit down menu, with not knowing what was going on with COVID-19. We choose to ride it out and we could not have been happier. They moved us to their largest room, which we were concerned it would look too empty and cold. We could not have been more wrong. With their setup and some additional decorations it was beautiful. Just like my daughter had imagined. The staff was wonderful the day of the event and Debby was wonderful the whole time. She kept us updated on all the changes and she never made me feel like I was bothering her.
Next, the food was phenomenal. They even assisted with some special requests.
If you book with The Fez you will not be disappointed.

I got married in May but it's never too late to write a great review! I don't even know where to start with how wonderful the Fez is!
From day 1, Debby was extremely helpful and f...
riendly. I cannot thank her enough for her assistance through all of my planning. She was thoughtful and honest which I truly appreciated.
Secondly- Steve! I can't put into words how great he was. From the moment the bridal party walked in, he asked if we needed anything. My sister said we might need my mom to help bustle my dress. He knew exactly what my mom was wearing, tracked her down, and she was up in the suite in a matter of a minute.. I swear! If I could have, I would have gave him a huge hug at the end of the night!
We ended up extending the reception by an hour and Steve and Judy were very accommodating. She was wonderful as well! At the end of the night, I felt so bad because we had some shuttle issues so a couple of us were there later than planned. But she stuck around in our group, kept us entertained, and made sure we had a ride back.
The food- unfortunately, my husband and I barely got to eat, but everyone said it was delicious! They are still talking about the food! My friend said the other day she was craving the soup!
I heard the bartenders were extremely nice as well!
The venue was picture perfect. The lights really pulled everything together. It was more than I could have ever imagined.
So thank you to the Fez, from the bottom of my heart, for making our dream day one that we want to relive over and over again.

While our wedding was beautiful, we had some major issues. First we received an estimate we believed to include everything (myself, my husband, mother and step father were all in t...
he meeting and believed this) to find out the bar was not included on this estimate, so I had to come up with well over a thousand dollars in the last month or two. One of our bridal party members knocked over a glass center piece (we provided) and it broke and we were treated like crap about it (I even offered to clean it in my wedding dress). We received no left over wedding cake but our top layer (my husband and I only got to take the bite we fed each other because ours was taken off of our table so fast. We cleaned up all of our own centerpieces after staff took water off the table at 10. We rented the hall till 11. Three months later I am still trying to get our containers and trays back that cookies and decorations were brought in, because they were not put in the place we were told they would be and every time I stop down the doors are locked. If you use them make sure everything is disposable because you wont be getting it back. The bar tender was very rude to some of our guests including me. On top of it. I asked after about a whole type of cookie that was missing from our table (about 10 dozen my aunt had made), and was told that my guests came early and maybe they ate them all, which was rude firstly and secondly my cousin got there 10 minutes early and was not permitted in the room, neither was anyone else until the minute we were supposed to start. Thankfully none of our guests saw any of this but the bartender and not being allowed in because I would have been thoroughly embarrassed.

First let me start by saying I’m glad that you had a beautiful wedding. This ...
is our main goal for all of our couples – and their guests -- and our staff works very hard to try to provide incredible wedding days and memories for everyone. In fact, upon our review of your file, we noticed that you did email us the Monday after your wedding complementing the staff and noting that you had a beautiful day, which makes your review a bit mystifying to us all.
We are of course disappointed that 3 months after your wedding you chose to give us such a poor rating, and we feel we’d be remiss to not address some of your statements. First in regard to our pricing policy, ALL of our language from our brochures, to our first letter that we send out to prospective couples, clearly states that your price for your wedding would be determined by choosing a dinner menu…and then a bar package…and adding those two prices together. Sometimes when couples initially search for a venue, and do lots of visits, they can become confused between one venue and another. However, our pricing policies are very upfront. In that same vein, in looking over your original contract that you signed with us in April of 2015, the tentative price noted on your signed contract was $6,088.91. Your final price paid to us in April 2016 was $6,882.08. This price included your menu, hors’doeuvres, open 5-hr. bar, DJ, added chair covers, as well as all service charges and taxes. We feel our pricing is very fair, very up-front, and that we offer some of the most inclusive packages in the industry.
We would also like to address your complaint about not letting guests into the rooms until the moment your reception was to begin. This is simply not true. We have absolutely no problem with guests arriving up to 30 minutes prior to your start time, and our staff is always ready to greet your guests, and to help them find their seats at that time. In fact, we very often will open the bar 10-15 minutes early if it appears that a lot of the guests have arrived early.
We are also very perplexed by your having such a hard time picking up your containers. In an email from our catering director to you the Monday after your wedding, you were informed that your containers were here, and that our offices are opened Monday – Saturday from 9:00 – 5:00. One of our managers is here every day until at least that time, so I’m unsure of why you had a difficult time finding our offices opened. I understand that you in fact did pick these up last week – before you even wrote this review.
In closing, I’d just like to say that The Fez has been in business for over 50 years, and has helped more than 5,000 local couples plan their wedding days. Our goal is for ALL of our clients to have the best wedding day possible, and to look back on their special day with happy memories of a wonderful celebration. We sincerely hope that you and Dan can do the same! Our best wishes to you both.

The day before the wedding we had a last meeting and rehearsal lunch. During the meeting we asked for a vegan option for a few guests. Debby was very rude and took several minutes ...
for her to agree. Anything else we had asked for seemed like it was a chore.
While this was going on we had to bring in all of the cookies for the next day. The staff sat and watched as we struggled to open the door with our hands full. Then kept walking in the middle of the way while we were trying to carry things in. Never once asking if they could help in any way. Not even to hold the door open.
We also had to provide the name cards for the sign in table the day before the wedding. We did not alphabetize the 100 names like the long list of rules said. I mean why are we paying them money if we do all the work. While we were waiting to go in for lunch, the staff was talking about how annoying we were while we were still in the venue.
Another item that bothered me is how they handled the champagne toast. We had several people who don't drink attending the wedding. They said there was no way to do anything but put champagne out at every seat. When I , the groom asked for no champagne it was like I had asked for something extreme to be done. I found this part very annoying.
The food was great and the wedding day went off without a hitch for the most part. Towards the end of the night the staff became rather annoyed that we stayed until 11 pm like we paid for. They made sure to tell us the two other receptions had already finished.
One area that they excelled was the bar tender. She did an excellent job and had a great attitude.
Overall the venue was great. They took care of many things. The attitude received from the staff is an area that needs fixing. You are in a customer service business and the customer should come first. Not excuses like I have three weddings.

Sidney & Robert ~
Thank you for your feedback. Feedback from our clients always helps ...
us to know where we do well, and where we need to improve. In a general sense, we're very happy to know that overall you thought your experience was great, that you had wonderful food, and that you enjoyed your bartender.
In regard to your frustrations the day prior to your wedding, we're sorry that some of your interactions were less than you expected. Please understand that although we are a facility that includes a lot for our clients, moving personal items into our building, and sorting your seating cards, goes above those services. Although we are happy to tray cookies, and do basic setup for you, preparing your personal items, decorating, and carrying these things into our building is something that falls to each couple and family. We believe that our services rise above, and include more, than many other facilities offer.
In regard to your special meal item, as we advise our guests, we are happy to accommodate special meal requests, however they should be brought to our attention when you give us your final guest count a week before the wedding. We request that courtesy to ensure we have the proper items on hand to prepare special plated meals, especially when you have chosen buffet service. We're sorry that we expressed hesitation with the short notice, but we had to make sure at that point we could accommodate.
Again, thank you for taking the time to send along your comments. It was a pleasure to have you and your families at The Fez for your celebration, and we hope that your wedding day will be full of happy memories. Best wishes to you for a long, happy marriage!

We got married on September 19, 2015 and it was everything I ever wanted. The staff was great and helped with everything we asked. I only have two complaints. 1. No one at The ...
Fez told us that they were renovating the balcondae room. We didn't find out until it was too late to change our minds. I wish we were told before hand and not surprised when we asked to see the room. The 2nd is they over charged us on sales tax. The tax is 6% in PA and they charged us 6.015263659% which doesn't seem like a huge deal but when you are spending a lot of money it is a big deal. Other than these issues everything went great!

ll of our many questions and emails quickly! She took care of every detail leading up to the ceremony and the reception. We did an onsite ceremony. She was very open to any changes that we made. On the day of the wedding we arrived thinking there would be things we needed to do to finish decorating and to our surprise her staff had completed just about everything. There was very little we needed to do. They were absolutely incredible. During the wedding and reception, Steve could not have been more helpful. He made sure we were all at the right place at the right time and was great to work with. The bartender was also incredible. I can't say enough about the staff at The Fez. The food was absolutely incredible!! We chose the queen's buffet and were more than happy with our choice. The lighting in the room really was awesome! In addition to our guest tables, we needed an entrance table, gift table, cake table, 2 cookie tables, and a table for our thumbprint tree guest book. All of these were set up and ready. The room looked WONDERFUL!! Several guest said that it was the nicest venue they have been to, and my new husband and I agree!!! Thank you Deb for making sure we had the perfect wedding day!!!

My husband and I got married February 28th, 2015 and what a beautiful day it was. For starters, weddings take a lot of planning and from the day we selected The Fez, to our weddin...
g day, to even after the wedding, they have been a wonderful group to work with. We definitely experienced some highlights while working with the Fez over the past year and here are some of them:
* Flexible – We found out after we booked the venue and locked in our date that my sister and future sister in law were both pregnant and due on our original wedding date. Debby was very up front and honest about our date change, guiding us through what could have been a very difficult and nerve wracking time. They were so flexible with us and it was such a great reminder of why we selected The Fez as a venue from the start!!!!
* Food - FANTASTIC!! Our guests have not stopped talking about the food and the one item I have heard over and over about was the Prime Rib and how delicious it was. The nice thing about The Fez is they have a built in food service. So you don’t have to locate one yourself and their food options provide a great variety. They have sit down or buffet and we opted for the buffet. You can upgrade your cocktail hour or your dinner or both, such a wide variety of options to fit your wedding!!
* Beverages/Alcohol - AMAZING!! We physically visited 15 venues (we called a lot more) and BY FAR of the 15 venues we looked at, The Fez had the best prices and options available. Feedback from our guests - the bartenders were able to provide every drink that was asked for (and our group was not shy) and they asked which type of liquor our guests preferred. A lot of places go straight for the lower level unless the guest asks for a specific brand and I appreciated their bartenders asking our guests what type of liquor they wanted because we paid for the top tier!!. Additionally, we had two busloads of people show up all at once for cocktail hour. 90 people wanting drinks all at the same time! Because of the crush of people to get drinks, the wait staff dropped everything they were doing and ran behind the bar to assist. Within a few minutes, everyone had a drink and the wait staff resumed their normal duties. Great training by management because they did it by reaction!
* Service - This is something you cannot teach people and The Fez was a class act!! The service was marvelous – Steve (the head guy the night of the reception) was easy for us to find (even though we didn't need to), he was on point, the wait staff was finding my husband and I throughout the night asking what we would like to drink, everything was timed perfectly and they worked well with our band - they made it so enjoyable for us all evening!!
* Space - we had our reception in the Grand Ballroom and our final guest count was 270 and the space was perfect. The tables did not feel too tight and it didn't feel like the room was empty - it was perfect. We were able to select our table sizes (they ranged from 8-10 the tables of 10 had kids at them) and we also had a 4 person band and open concept photo booth. We felt like the way the room was set up really afforded our guests the best event space possible.
My husband and I could not be happier with our Venue selection. The Fez provided a top notch experience that set the stage for a truly memorable night for us and I could not be happier to have selected that group of people and venue to share our special day with!!!!

On 12/13/14, I married my best friend and love of my life in a beautiful ceremony at our church. We then celebrated our marriage with the most beautiful, fun, and special reception...
at The Fez. Every single detail of our reception was perfect! The decor, the food, the staff, the service - EVERYTHING. The Terrace Room was warm and inviting, and the bar is just incredible. It's impressive and just plain gorgeous. The food was amazing - MANY of our guests came up to us during the reception to tell us that their dinner was incredible or that the appetizers were amazing. One of our guests even said, "this is the first wedding I've been to where I left stuffed! It was all so good!" And the staff - oh my god, the staff! Jordan took such amazing care of me, my husband, and our bridal party. He was so attentive and sweet and just amazing. And the waitstaff for our guests were INCREDIBLE. Our guests repeatedly told us how kind and quick and just awesome everyone was. We were so touched at all of the attention and detail that went into making our reception flow smoothly. It was all just so incredible. We couldn't have asked for a more amazing night. And Debby deserves a medal. She took such care of us all year leading up to our wedding! She meticulously took care of all of our details and requests, gave sage and appreciated advice, and was generally awesome. My wedding was so perfect. I will never, ever forget that day, and I can never fully thank The Fez and the staff enough for helping to make our wedding dreams come true. As far as we are concerned, there is no other venue that could ever compare. Thank you, Debby, Jordan, and everyone at the Fez!

The Fez was wonderful from the moment we walked in the door for our initial visit, until the moment we left at the end of our reception. And it was so easy. All we had to do was ...

With only five weeks to go before our 350+ person wedding, unforeseen circumstances forced us to change our reception venue. Without hesitation, The Fez fit us into their schedule...
and we couldn't be happier with the result. From day one, Debby was extremely helpful, responsive and quick to provide recommendations for things we may have otherwise overlooked. Every detail and request was accounted for and our big day went so very well that our only regret was not choosing The Fez from the beginning! Steve and his staff were extremely attentive the night of the wedding and checked in with us regularly to ensure everything was perfect throughout the evening. It was this amazing customer service and attention-to-detail that made our reception so enjoyable for every single guest. On top of it all, the pricing is very reasonable and the food is great! We'll go back to the Fez for all big events in our future!

My husband and I were married on July 12, 2014 and held our reception in the balconade room of The Fez. We could not have hoped for a better experience. We met with Debby, their ca...
tering director, several times before the big day to hash out details. She was very professional and knowledgeable. She gave great advice every step of the way and was extremely accommodating. The balconade room, with chandeliers, a balcony, and staircase, is very elegant. We were given the choice of napkins (we chose plum to correspond with our wedding color); otherwise, we felt it unnecessary to decorate as the decor is very classic. We had a blast on the day of our wedding. The cake (done by Brenda McGee who works with the Fez) was exactly the way we had wanted it. The service was great, the food was tasty, and the timeline we had planned went smoothly. The banquet managers checked in with my husband or I every half hour or so. They were very warm and attentive to our needs. The bartenders were also very professional. I would definitely recommend this venue to a bride who wants a gorgeous wedding at a very reasonable price. My husband and I live in Pittsburgh (while my family lives in Beaver County). We looked at MANY venues, but nothing came close to the value of The Fez. I can't imagine having chosen anywhere else. Thank you again to Debby, Jordan, Steve, the owner, and all of the Fez staff for providing us such a memorable experience.

It was perfect for what we were looking for. The price point was excellent for dinner and premium alcohol. The food was pretty good. The staff was excellent, not just the event man...
ager and the floor manager but the waitstaff as well. We were in the smallest room but it was just the right size for our wedding and it was the most recently updated. We would recommend to others.

\outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 The Fez will make every dream come true! My guest had a blast and loved the food. I did not give a 5 in service because I ended up setting up half my tables when they previously informed it would be done for me and I changed the pre-set table numbers, and they were not overly accommodating with the small change. Overall, I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, they truly made all my dreams come true in the end.

We held our reception in the terrace room at The Fez. It is a newly renovated room and it has been done beautifully. There is a really cool backdrop for the head table; many of my ...
friends commented on it while looking at photos. My husband wanted to have the reception in the city (where our ceremony was) but we just couldn't afford the high costs. The Fez was more affordable with the same quality. And the food is to die for! At the reception, the staff checked in with myself and the groom many times throughout the evening to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. They were fabulous! Debby (the event coordinator) is also really great! She was so helpful throughout the planning process and recommended some great vendors to us!

The Fez venue is a great place to have a wedding! All guests complimented on the food, decor and overall atmosphere of venue. The only thing I would say negative about it is that y...
ou are not permitted to take home any left over food that YOU have paid for (except the cake). I was told they use it for their brunches the next day. So I paid for food that they charged people again for the very next day. nice. Also, I would suggest they have more options for chair covers or actually invest in new chairs that you don't have to cover. I would also suggest that they contact their local florist to make new centerpieces to offer to clients instead of the 15+ year old centerpieces they have. It's 2013, the updated rooms are gorgeous yet they still have brown metal chairs and ugly centerpieces. !

First, I'd like to thank you for your kind words. We're happy to know that you and your g...
uests enjoyed the venue, the food and the décor. I would however also like to clear up your misunderstanding in regard to any "left over" food there may have been. Please be assured that we would NEVER serve food that would be left from one event to another. We make food fresh for each and every event that we host! Someone definitely gave you inaccurate information in that regard. We don't even do a Sunday brunch. Haven't had one at The Fez for many years (we did a Sunday brunch during lent about 5 years ago, as a "test," but never continued it.) And even at that, our brunch menu would be eggs, French toast, pastries, bacon, sausage, etc., Nothing that would have been a part of your wedding menu! Further, as is noted in our contracts, all food does need to be consumed on premise. There are many reasons for this which span from the quality of food (once it's been on the buffet for an hour) to food borne illness, insurance and safety issues. We are always happy to pack a little box for the bride and groom to take to the hotel with them (or home) at the end of the night, if they ask. And we would have been happy to do so for you as well, had we been aware that you would have liked that. But again, generally, as is the case with most in our industry, we do not send food home at the end of the night. Please understand that unlike a caterer, we're not charging you for a set number of pieces of anything, but rather feeding your crowd whatever -- and as much as -- they'd like to eat during your dinner hour. I hope that will help in clarifying your concern. As to décor items -- centerpieces and chairs -- we are constantly upgrading these items. We try to make these as neutral as possible so as not to interfere with any bride's color theme. With the advent of pinterest, et al., most are bringing their own centerpieces that have been themed to their weddings, but again, we like to offer something on the tables to save the budget if not. We also have some great fresh floral centerpieces starting at just $12.00 per table, and many of our brides have chosen this option as well. Our chair cover options range from linen (the standard) to satin, prints, pillowtop and spandex. Most people though stick with the standard as the others can be more expensive. Even with our standard covers though, we have various colors and an extensive array of sashes, in various fabrics. In closing, we wish you and Nick all of our best wishes. And we sincerely hope that you have wonderful memories of your wedding day here at The Fez!

Debby and the staff at the Fez made our wedding day/reception an absolute wonderful experience for not only my husband and I but for both of our families and the bridal party too! ...
For the amount of people that we wanted to invite to our wedding this was by far the best value to be able to have what we wanted. We keep hearing how wonderful the food was from our guests and the room we were in (The Grand Ball Room) was just gorgeous.
