We recently hosted our surprise wedding at the gorgeous venue Fare Old Street, disguised as an engagement party for our guests, and we genuinely cannot thank the team enough for helping create what was without question the best day of our lives. The venue has lots of greenery dotted around and is a huge space with an upstairs outdoor area connected to the main bar and a beautiful space downstairs with gorgeous fairy lights and more greenery!
From the very beginning, the planning and coordination were exceptional. We worked closely with Janka, who supported us throughout every stage of the process. She helped us carefully manage budgets, timelines, and logistics, and created a detailed schedule to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day. Despite already meeting with us on multiple occasions, she was always available whenever we had questions, taking phone calls and responding with patience, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
We were also incredibly fortunate to work with Ricci and Joe, who were instrumental in coordinating the technical aspects of our event. From arranging a surprise video presentation for our guests to organising the music setup for the evening, they handled every detail with expertise and care. Perhaps most impressively, every last-minute request or change we threw at them was met with a positive, can-do attitude. They consistently found solutions, reassured us when needed, and ensured we had absolutely everything required to bring our vision to life.
On the day itself, Ines, Joe, and the wider team were simply outstanding. Their attentiveness was repeatedly commented on by our guests throughout the event. They seemed to anticipate what was needed before we or our guests even realised it ourselves. Every member of staff was proactive, friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making our celebration a success. Their attention to detail and commitment to exceptional service allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of the day knowing we were in safe hands.
A special mention must also go to the food, which was absolutely incredible. Every dish was beautifully prepared, fresh, and delicious. The pizzas were outstanding, the canapés were fantastic, and everything served throughout the event was enjoyed immensely by our guests. In fact, many of our friends and family commented afterwards on how exceptional the food was. Fare didn't simply provide a venue; they created an experience that our guests are still talking about.
What made Fare truly special was the passion and dedication of the entire team. It was evident from start to finish that everyone genuinely cared about making our celebration unforgettable. Their professionalism, warmth, flexibility, and attention to detail exceeded every expectation we had.
To Janka, Ricci, Joe, Ines, and the entire Fare team: thank you for everything you did for us. We honestly owe the success of our wedding day to you. You helped turn an ambitious idea into a seamless and magical reality, and the memories you helped create will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
We could not recommend Fare Old Street more highly. Five stars simply do not feel enough.We recently hosted our surprise wedding at the gorgeous venue Fare Old Street, disguised as an engagement party for our guests, and we genuinely cannot thank the team enough for helping create what was without question the best day of our lives.
