Our perfect venue!

Guglhupf was the best venue for us -- it was stunning as is and provided us with the best experience!! Steph acted as a built-in wedding coordinator and really went above and beyond to make our day great. There were so many wedding details we did not have to worry about because it was all already taken care of! Our guests continue to compliment how excellent the food and cocktails were - picking the menu with the chef was a great experience!! We are so glad we had our reception at Guglhupf and recommend to all :)

Guglhupf was a dream to work with!

First of all, the staff at Guglhupf are top-notch. From a custom menu chef-curated with us, signature cocktails and bespoke kegs at the bar, and a restaurant manager who can make ANYTHING happen, makes Guglhupf staff does everything to make your day perfect. We had last-minute rain and had even to hold our ceremony on site. The team activated with wedding party members to set up the location with our decor to seamlessly transition between the ceremony in the garden, cocktail hour and music on the patio, and dinner upstairs. As avid foodies, we received numerous compliments that our wedding meal and event felt like an intimate gathering at our own home. It was so comfortable and relaxed. The value you have for the cost of food, cocktails, nibbles, and cake being made onsite in addition to the venue, you honestly can't go wrong. Suppose you are someone who has elaborate plans for table settings and decor. In that case, I think Guglhupf is already too beautiful and decked out for you, but if you want light decor, a fabulous experience, and an effortless night, trust Steph and the Guglhupf team.

Amazing food and atmosphere!

We hosted our wedding reception at Guglhupf and couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Steph and her team were extremely responsive and fun to work with. So much stress was taken out of our planning process by coordinating everything with Guglhupf rather than having to juggle multiple vendors. We worked directly with the chef to create a menu that was enjoyed by both our vegetarian and omnivorous guests. Everything was delicious! We were also able to add an amazing wedding cake and small desserts from the bakery. It was wonderful to be able to use both the indoor (dinner) and outdoor (cocktail hour and dancing) spaces. Even though the evening was a little chilly, the heaters kept our guests warm and the string lights really added to the atmosphere. There was even outdoor space to set up a few lawn games. All of the wait and bar staff were kind and helpful making us feel welcome. If you are looking for a venue with a cozy atmosphere, lovely people, and delicious food Guglhupf is the place for you!
