Rented the entire rooftop for a 60 person event and everything was perfect. Great views, drinks and food were delicious and plentiful. Rachel and Ted were very responsive and so kind. Would 100% recommend this venue.

Party · 50 guests · February 2024
We were so happy that we chose to have our engagement party at Fairweather. The communication with Ted and staff was easy, the food was great, and the overall space was exactly what we needed for our get together. The bartenders were really fun and friendly and our guests had a great time. Would definitely recommend having your event here!
