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!
