We had our wedding last November and Fogo de Chão was very helpful in every step of the way. We booked 3 rooms which was perfect for our small wedding. The staff was very helpful as well as the event and general manager. Food was delicious as always. Our ceremony ended early and the manager was nice accommodating our guests a little bit earlier while we got our photos taken. It was such a good experience that now my husband wants to celebrate our anniversary every year at Fogo de Chão.

From our first conversation with the Blanco Urban Venue team, we knew they understood what we wanted for our wedding day. They stayed in touch throughout the planning process, answered every question we had, and adjusted things when we needed to make changes. The venue itself is stunning—it has this cool, modern feel that made our celebration feel truly one-of-a-kind. What really set them apart was how much they cared about the details and making sure everything ran smoothly. We got so many compliments from our guests about how unique and beautiful the space was. We'd recommend Blanco Urban Venue to any couple looking for a venue that feels fresh and a team that will support you every step of the way.
