    We had our wedding reception at Fountain Blue on 7/26/2025, and it was truly incredible! The venue was stunning, the food was exceptional, and the entire evening went off without a hitch. John and his team were professional, responsive, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. Communication was always clear, and everything ran smoothly the day of. Our guests are still calling us to say how beautiful the space was. Highly recommend — 10/10 experience!

    My husband and I decided to host our wedding celebration here and we do not regret it. John was very helpful from the moment we walked in to tour the place all the way up to the end of our wedding reception. He was very helpful and flexible with any changes I wanted to be made. I had an outdoor cocktail hour that my guest fell in love with, I have a few friends who are thinking about hosting here since they really enjoyed the place and the food. Would definitely host here again!

  • One of the best choices we made

    Just had a perfect wedding day here!! We celebrated our ceremony in the outdoor tent and had our reception in the Versailles Room. Everything was beautiful, ran smoothly, and the planning process with John Plafoutzis was effortless. Our guests complimented the venue and food all night, and the staff and bartenders were all very courteous and accommodating. Plenty of parking and two hotels next to the venue make this a great spot for both locals and travelers. Highly recommend this venue for any event! 5 stars!

  • Outstanding service and food!!

    When planning a wedding all you want is for your vision to come true and for the guests to have a phenomenal time celebrating with a great vibe and Amazing food!! The fountain blue staff, especially Georgia and Connie made our vision come true. They were there with us every step of the way, answering all questions and easing our worries and mind as the day approached!They consistently checked in and asked if we needed any changes, or had any specific needs that needed to be met as the day was nearing. Whenever we had questions they were able to answer them and guide us to ensure our question was answered fully. Last Saturday we had our MOST special day and it was everything we wanted and more! The meals were delicious, and still being talked about by our guests. The ambience and the wait staff made our guests feel welcomed and cared for! We know that we will continue to talk about our venue and wedding for years to come! we can’t thank the fountain blue enough for making our wedding reception PERFECT!
