The Fez

08/23/2025

✨ Family-owned since 1966, The Fez has grown from a 35-seat tavern in Hopewell Township to one of Western Pennsylvania’s most iconic event venues, now welcoming up to 1,200 guests across three stunning event spaces.

Our unusual but memorable name has roots in a cross-country trip in the 1950s, when our founders experienced an unforgettable act of hospitality at a small California restaurant called The Fez. Inspired by that kindness, they carried the name - and the same spirit of warm service - back home.

Today, after nearly 60 years and more than 5,000 weddings, anniversaries, fundraisers, and milestone events, The Fez continues to be trusted for its unmatched service, exceptional food, and family-centered tradition of hospitality.

✨ Throwback Thursday Summer Wedding Reception ✨

On June 29, 2024, Olivia & Brody celebrated their summer wedding reception in The Fez Balconade Room following a beautiful ceremony at Divine Grace Parish St. Gregory Church in Zelienople.

This incredible couple shared their favorite wedding reception moments with us, spotlighting their amazing energy for a summer wedding filled with love and joy.

Their wedding colors and floral bouquets tied soft, muted tones of cyan and dusty blue together. Ivory tabletops and light blue linen napkins paired with soft glowing blue LED lights for a romantic summer vibe. The cool, natural color palette provided a timeless, chic, and effortlessly sophisticated feel. 🌿💙

Guests enjoyed capturing memories in a photo booth during the wedding reception, while Olivia & Brody lit up the dance floor. From heartwarming entrances to epic dance moves accented by LED light sticks, their wedding reception was so much fun and definitely one to remember!

We are loving this soft and romantic color palette used in wedding bouquets. It sets a beautiful tone for late summer weddings.

💕 Sweet simplicity at its finest! White daisies nestle among blush gerberas and delicate baby’s breath, all wrapped in a pink satin ribbon. The eucalyptus adds just enough green to make those daisies pop. You’ll love how this soft palette photographs against your white dress.
