Special venue with great people!

We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at The Silver Fox and truly couldn't have asked for a better venue! Our guests were blown away by the uniqueness and beauty of the space and couldn't stop talking about it all night. We loved that there was a separate space for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception, with the cocktail lounge providing a quieter space for guests to mingle that didn't want to be on or right next to the dance floor. Bill, the lead of the Silver Fox team, was so fantastic to work with the whole time. He was incredibly accommodating and reassuring, easing any anxieties I had about details since he is so experienced in hosting weddings! The rest of the staff was absolutely fantastic as well, working hard to make sure our whole day was truly flawless, from the ceremony to the last call. They were friendly, kind faces that checked in with us throughout the night to be sure we were happy with everything. If you are looking for a beautiful, one of a kind space with a fantastic staff that knows what they are doing, we could not recommend The Silver Fox more!!

Hands-down best venue

The Silver Fox is the best possible choice we could've made to host our vow renewal! The owner, Bill, is incredibly responsive to emails. Also, since we had to travel to reach the venue, he worked with us to accommodate our schedule so we could make a few visits beforehand to get everything in order. The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL and needs minimal extra decorating, but they have a "pay it forward" room with free items you can use - you can find something to fit literally any theme - it's amazing. My family was raving about how cool everything was and how it was one of the best venues they've ever been to. I can't say enough about how great the Silver Fox venue and staff is!!

Totally Dreamy!

We had the most beautiful and amazing wedding day here last weekend. Bill, Kayla, and the team here completely exceeded our expectations and our day went so smoothly. Planning our wedding was very low stress, and the team was so responsive to any questions I had. Everything we needed was conveniently located within the building, so all we had to do really was just show up. If we could get married again, we wouldn’t change a single thing! It was the perfect day!

Glamorous and unique NYE venue

This venue is absolutely perfect. Original woodwork, tall ceilings, and all in one venue!
The only down side is your head count needs to be under 150, but if you can make that happen I highly recommend this place!! The pay it forward room has just about everything you could want or need. They supply linens, tableware, chivari chairs, and bartenders. Kayla is perfect and will run your day if you need her to. Our photographer was on top of that so Kayla had an easy day of just coordinating vendors. All of our guests would not stop commenting on how beautiful/unique the venue was and that made me so happy because I think the building is gorgeous. The venue is well worth the price if it is within your budget!

Wedding venue

We got married on December 6th at the silver fox. We could not have asked for better people to deal with during this stressful process. Anytime we had a question bill or Kayla were right there to answer the questions. Kayla kept in touch the entire time reaching out to see if we needed anything. The day of the rehearsal she was there to make sure everything went smooth. The day of the wedding she was there with a helping hand for anything that we needed. She went over and beyond. She made sure everyone got down the aisle and everything stayed on time. The venue was absolutely beautiful. The staff was amazing! The end of the night there was staff member that took pictures and sent them to me. I thought that was awesome as sometimes those pictures that nobody expected means so much more! My entire party and family and friends had nothing but good things to say about the venue! Thank you all! I would highly recommend looking into this venue for your big day!!

Wedding of our dreams!

Breathtaking venue with dependable and organized staff! Our wedding at the Silver Fox was the wedding of our dreams! Kayla was so helpful and made the experience stress free (we had a wedding party of 22)! Loved the pay it forward room! Made it easy to decorate and at the end the night easy to donate decor to future brides. My favorite part was the cost! The Silver Fox is cost effective- gorgeous venue with the fairy tale package.

An Amazing Day I’ll Never Forget

We had our wedding at The Silver Fox on 9/22/18 and every part of our experience with them was incredible. They were super professional, easy to work with, and helped us with all of our vendors to make sure our day was as stress free as possible. 10/10 would recommend this beautiful venue and amazing staff over and over again!

Our wedding was March 2018 at the Silver Fox. My husband and I loved our experience working with the staff. They were extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful throughout the entire process and especially the wedding day. The venue is beautiful. We had so many compliments from our guests too. We will recommend the Silve Fox over and over. Thank you!

Sarah Besser and her wonderful team are truly amazing! They practically set up my whole wedding while I was getting ready. Anything I needed she or one of her team was there to help. The building is just absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't have thought of a better place to have my wedding than at The Silver Fox!!!
