We couldn't be more happy with the results of our wedding in June 2024 at this venue! We had it on a Sunday, which cut the maximum spend cost down. We had our ceremony in the garden area with a beautiful backdrop of a pond and trees. We had plenty of spaces to take pictures in the garden area and around the building. Our guests raved about how delicious the food was! We decided to do the buffet, which I thought worked wonderfully. The open bar with our choices of wine and beer was also a guest favorite. The service staff was great. The event coordinator was fantastic pre-planning emails and meetings and during the event! She really helped everything go smoothly! The space was perfect and not over-crowded for our 100 guests. People hung out inside to dance and chat around tables or stood out on the patio for some fresh air.

We had our wedding at FWB on June 8, 2024! Overall, we are VERY happy that we chose them. It was a beautiful day and the setup was exactly what we wanted. The drape and light installs truly bring the space to life and we were super happy with their new greenery photo op spot.
From the first tour to the wedding day the staff (Robin & Riley especially) was responsive, kind, respectful, and helpful. They were also transparent about pricing.
The day ran very smooth thanks to their staff and their ability to work so well with our outside vendors. It even rained, but they made our outdoor ceremony work and worked quickly to move tables/games when it did start pouring.
The food was INCREDIBLE - our guests raved about how delicious everything was (including the late night pizza!). We did buffet style and it was seamless.

Feedback (truly being nit-picky here):
Rehearsal Dinner: We booked our rehearsal dinner in the barrel room the night before and selected the steak and mushroom ravioli for dinner. The food was just okay and the service was also okay. Unfortunately, I don't think they were staffed for our party of 25 & a Friday night dinner rush in the restaurant. They did their best, but it did take a long time (20+ min) for us to get our drink orders.
Food Tasting: They offer a few food tastings a year and luckily added one last minute that we could attend. We were disappointed in the quality of the food and it made us really nervous about the food for our wedding. The salmon was very over done and a lot of the dishes were lacking in flavor. We think the food may have been sitting under a heater for an extended period, because the food we had on our wedding day was amazing.
Beer/Wine Tasting: We did a beer and wine tasting after our final planning meeting and it was disappointing. We were expecting to taste flights, but instead it was a very tiny sip of everything (not enough to truly taste it). The bartender we had was also underage, so he couldn't give us any feedback or recommendations. He just read off a sheet. We would recommend visiting the restaurant close to your wedding and ordering flights instead.
Bridal Suite: You are not able to access the bridal suite (or groom suite/venue) any earlier than 10am, which made our getting ready plans difficult to piece together. We are from out of town, so our options were limited in where to get ready. We ended up starting H&M promptly at 10 but more time would have been way better. Though, having access to the suite all night and a private bathroom was great.
Cocktail Hour: We didn't know until 30 days before that if we served apps, cocktail hour had to be 90 min vs 60 min. This caused us a little panic since we had to shift our timeline, but it worked out. We also didn't have enough apps (family who stuck around for photos and ourselves didn't get to try anything hot). So order more than you think you need.
Mixed drink offerings: The drinks were very weak and they couldn't accommodate for double pours. Most of our guests switched to beer or wine pretty quickly.
Settling Up: We had an open tab on our wedding day for our wedding party to order lunch and drinks throughout the day. This made FWB a bit nervous and we had to close the tab early since they weren't equipped to keep track of wedding guests. We understood! We just had wanted to keep it open in case someone close to us wanted something our open bar didn't offer.

Overall: 9.5/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

This venue was a perfect venue for my wedding! Not only was it perfect because the venue offers most of the services you need for a wedding but also how helpful and knowledgable the staff was! My wedding day was without a doubt perfect, a huge thanks to my vendors and FW&B! It was also very affordable compared to the other venues I was looking at even with all the add ons I got! I would 10/10 recommend this venue for a wedding, or just a night out in the taproom!
