The Fountains was the perfect venue for our August wedding. We were able to have the ceremony next door at Kindleberger but use the Fountains as a back up rain plan with only a couple hours notice. Rhonda was so responsive and helpful, she even helped me track down another vendor who wasn't responding to my emails. You get the grand experience and venue for half the price of all other similar locations nearby. I had so many people comment on fabulous the venue was. My bridal party loved being able to hang out upstairs for a bit before our entrance to the reception, it was very relaxing and the staff was so accommodating. Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved this venue! Ronda was so wonderful to work with! The food was great! Everyone was raving about the seafood pasta. I didn't get any, I regret that..I was too busy mingling to eat. We got in the venue early to decorate. It was so beautiful. Loved having the ceremony and reception in the same place. Very convenient. The midnight pizza looked great! Again..I didn't get any, too busy mingling...everyone loved it. The bar service was wonderful. I had a couple of late comers to my reception and the staff were very accommodating to fix them a dinner plate. I highly recommend this venue. It's very affordable and well worth it! Thank you so much!!!

We LOVED the reception venue. They were very flexible and easy to work with and were the most affordable option we found for the space and services. The food was wonderful too. You get so many things with a package and that was really appealing for us. And basically, if your decoration plans don't include ruining their building, they'll let you do it. Really, they are so personable and affordable and beautiful and professional. They were probably one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Absolutely great! Gorgeous site for the reception! Kristy was amazing in catering to what we needed, being quick to respond and very professional. There were no problems associated with the site and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful reception! They are very reasonably priced for absolutely fantastic food!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have been fortunate enough to have been hired by clients to enhance the already very nice decor of The Fountains many times in the past several years. They treat their clients with respect, are professional and are easy to work with. It is so nice as a vendor to partner with such a well run business. I have always received positive feedback from my clients about having The Fountains host their event, and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to future couples or business that are looking for a venue.

Can highly recommend The Fountains Banquet Center for your wedding and special events. They do a marvelous job in dealing with a small event to larger one, they have great food and attend to all the need for your special day. As a florist, I have worked with them on many occasions and they strive to work with their customers to make the event one that they will remember for a lifetime.
