Donny and Jennifer hosted our Wedding at the Fairview Cafe this past weekend. We could not have dreamed of a better experience! Donny and Jennifer worked with us closely to make sure every detail was carried out to perfection. The ambiance of the venue was elegant and romantic. The whole day was executed flawlessly from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the reception.

For our cocktail hour, we had a charcuterie mix along with their Popper Delights and Little Neck Clams which were all delicious. Our entrees were the Stuffed Alaskan Salmon, Cowboy Ribeye, and the Half Roasted Duck. These entrees were lights out incredible! Every guest commented on how delicious and unique the food was and how generous the portion sizes were. You could tell that a lot of heart and soul went into the food preparation. For dessert, we had their assorted desserts. We could not pick a favorite because they were all so good! The bartenders and servers were all very friendly, attentive, and efficient.

We felt very fortunate to be able to work with Donny and Jennifer and to be able to have our wedding at this venue. They sincerely cared about us having an amazing wedding day and it showed. We could not recommend this place highly enough!

Thank you so much Donny, Jennifer, and the Fairview Cafe Staff!

Just amazing

WE CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT! Donny is a life saver! Our original wedding venue canceled on us due to fire damage just three months before our wedding date. I called everywhere in a dead panic and thankfully found Donny! I could not have asked for more professional, understanding, amazing, attentive and supportive people! They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect and provided me support when I was having minor panic attacks. Up to and throughout the evenings end they were there for me. Just amazing. The reception was way more than we could have imagined! The venue was spectacular. The FOOD was absolutely to die for! Everyone wanted to take some home! Which is a rarity at weddings, having excellent food! Everything was perfect. We will visit often! Your staff there was simply the best! Thank you Thank you Thank you! You truly made our day special!

Donny was amazing planner, caterer, helper, troubleshooter, juggler, sound board  and resource. The food is awesome. We had so many compliments and no one left hungry. The entire team is so completely  "On Top" of it. They executed the night with such professionalism. Donny made you feel as if he had known you forever and was able to anticipate our every need. They all made it so easy and fun and each one was just as excited at the end of the night as they were at the beginning which shows they love what they do. Thank you so much  for making the night unforgettable. You are rockstars!

We visited with several caterers from the area before the venue we had chosen suggested Fairview Cafe as our caterer. We are not from the area, but my daughter was set on a country wedding. Our planner had worked with others from that area but we decided to do a tasting with Donny first. My daughter, my son in law, the grooms and brides parents as well as Maid of honor, Best man and their spouses were all invited by Donny. We never looked back! We did not consider any other caterer after the tasting. They were wonderful, the food was wonderful - prepared fresh at the tasting. Before the tasting was even over we had ALL agreed these were the right people!

Throughout the process Donny was responsive, thoughtful, helpful, and calming. He assured me multiple times we would not run out of food and the staff would take care of everything. That was all true. Wedding day food was even better than the tasting and no detail was missed. When the bride and groom would not take time to eat, they packed them a picnic for the next day!

I've never planned a wedding before, but I guarantee this would be my choice again in a heartbeat! The best compliment of the evening was when my son in law said to Donny, "If you're available you can cater the rest of our marriage !"
