We were so pleased with how everything turned out for our daughter's quinceanera at Fountain Blue. John was very helpful with the planning process. He even helped recommend a delicious bakery nearby. Our guests raved about the food, decor, and setup. It's a very elegant place. We had plenty of room to dance and mingle. We will definitely be back for another celebration.

Incredible venue and incredible staff at Fountain Blue! My husband and I just had our wedding here a month ago and the entire planning process and wedding itself was perfect and beyond expectations! Our guests couldn’t say enough about how beautiful the venue was and how fantastic the food was. I highly recommend this venue for any of your event needs! Thank you to the wonderful and family owned staff John, Georgia, Bill, and Connie

The Fountain Blue was very flexible with us through all steps of the process and made wedding planning so much easier! John was amazing and helped me through everything, also the food quality is so good, as good or better than a quality restaurant. At first I was skeptical of a banquet hall but considered it because of the extremely affordable price, but I honestly think my wedding turned out to be more beautiful and perfect than it could have at any other venue. I'd looked at many expensive venues, from cool new spaces downtown, to high end farmhouses, but ultimately I think the Fountain Blue was better than anything else out there! It sounds dramatic but I am serious. All the guests were highly impressed and some said it was the nicest event they'd ever attended. I 10/10 recommend the Fountain Blue, because of the amazing facilities and food, great genuinely kind and helpful staff, accessible location, and overall experience!

I've been here once before when I was a teenager for a wedding of a family friend. The place looks even better than I remember! Hats off to the chef and kitchen staff too. The food was great. You could tell it was made in house. Another thing I noticed was that even the owner was there working and making sure we were all happy and having fun. Thank you all so much.

This review is a long time coming! My husband and I got married here in July of 2023. This is the most amazing place to get married! Georgia is an absolute joy to work with and made the experience extra special. I still have family members talking about the food. It was so good that they still crave it a year later. Highly recommend their delicious filet Mignon! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t imagine having it anywhere else!

I’m sure the organization who booked this venue has already addressed this but the food was served very late due to too many events happening at the same time.

Additionally when the organizers planned for a gluten-free guest the venue did very little to accommodate. There were no gluten-free options for appetizers, no gluten-free alternative for bread, no idea if the salad dressings were gluten-free, and the only thing they did to make the meal gluten-free was to remove the sauce, leaving just a dry piece of salmon.

In addition to the lack of accommodation, it took talking to 4 different people, and an additional 10-15 minutes after other meals were served to get the gluten-free meal to the table.

The venue itself is well-kept and a nice venue.

When planning a wedding all you want is for your vision to come true and for the guests to have a phenomenal time celebrating with a great vibe and Amazing food!! The fountain blue staff, especially Georgia and Connie made our vision come true. They were there with us every step of the way, answering all questions and easing our worries and mind as the day approached!They consistently checked in and asked if we needed any changes, or had any specific needs that needed to be met as the day was nearing. Whenever we had questions they were able to answer them and guide us to ensure our question was answered fully.

Last Saturday we had our MOST special day and it was everything we wanted and more! The meals were delicious, and still being talked about by our guests. The ambience and the wait staff made our guests feel welcomed and cared for! We know that we will continue to talk about our venue and wedding for years to come! we can’t thank the fountain blue enough for making our wedding reception PERFECT!

Fountain Blue was awesome! We had our wedding there in October of 2024, and I'm very glad we picked it. The staff were very easy to work with, the food was great (lots of options!), and everything went very smoothly on the day of the event.

If you're considering hosting a wedding or other large event here, you will have an easy time working with them and your guests will appreciate a very nice, spacious venue with nearby hotels and lots of parking.
