    Our wedding at Fountain Blue Banquets exceeded every expectation. Connie is such a gem. She handled every question, concern or request with so much patience and care. Not to mention the communication with her was absolutely amazing and consistent. I never had to worry about her getting back to me. She played such a huge role in making our wedding day seamless, unforgettable, and most importantly stress free. The food was outstanding and our guests raved about it nonstop. Seriously, the best food I had at a wedding. And I’m glad it happened to be mine. We are beyond grateful and highly recommend Fountain Blue Banquets to any couple planning their perfect day. Thank you Connie and everyone at Fountain Blue.

    From start to finish, the entire team at Fountain Blue was beyond incredible. I've heard that planning a wedding extremely stressful, but they made everything feel effortless for me so I didn't even experience that. Every single person we interacted with was so kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. They answered every question with patience, guided us through every detail, and went above and beyond in every possible way. The service on our wedding day was truly exceptional — from the staff’s professionalism to the seamless timing of the entire evening. The food was delicious, the staff was so accommodating, and the overall atmosphere was just magical. I honestly can’t thank them enough for their warmth, care, and dedication. It’s rare to find a venue that not only meets expectations but exceeds them on every level. If you’re getting married or hosting any event, I can’t recommend Fountain Blue highly enough — they are simply the best and I truly had my dream wedding with them. 3

    If you're searching for the perfect venue, look no further than The Fountain Blue. Nestled right on a busy street, it’s easy to drive by without realizing the beauty that lies within—but once you step inside, you're transported to a space that is elegant and warm. I hosted my daughter’s quinceañera here, and it was nothing short of magical. From the first tour with John to the final goodbye, the staff at The Fountain Blue were incredible. John was always available to answer questions, and what I really appreciated was that he didn't use annoying sales tactics like other places that try to pressure you into booking a space; he provided me with the information I needed and then answered questions and provided adequate advice/feedback along the way. Additionally, the flexibility to find your own vendors to bring your event to life was what made me choose this place over others. Overall, every single team member went above and beyond to make sure the night was flawless. They were organized, attentive, and treated me like family throughout the entire planning process and event. The venue is stunning—with gorgeous chandelier lighting, grand ceilings, and a layout that made every moment feel special. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was and how surprised they were that such an elegant space existed in that area. I have already recommended this space to many people!
