Testimonials

I cannot say enough GREAT things about the Fetzer Center and the staff. My husband and I got married here last weekend and it was the wedding of my dreams.

Stacy was the most down to earth, easy going, awesome-est person to work with. She made sure everything was just how we wanted it to be and was super accommodating when we had to move the wedding inside at the last minute. Even when they had to do that, the inside looked like a dream.

But let’s talk about the food. OH MY GOD was the food EXCELLENT. My salmon was cooked perfectly, as was my husband’s steak. I could’ve ate three more meals if my wedding dress allowed me to!

As for the getting-ready room, it was perfect. The decorations were cute, it felt like home, and the staff asked us a few times if we had everything we needed and if there was anything else we needed.

I 100% recommend having your wedding reception here. This was one of the easiest choices I’ve ever made and I’m so glad we chose the Fetzer. I promise you.. you’re in great hands!!!
