Fête (pronounced fate) – a celebration or festival. The owners of Fête of Wales, Steve (and Nicole) and Nick (and Katie), had alllll of the celebrations in mind when building this beautiful venue. After breaking ground in 2018, they poured their hearts into making Fête the venue that it is today. Would you like a private patio for your bride tribe? Interested in fly fishing with the guys? How about a rope swing session with bae? Fête has it all! 

In August, Jackie with Jwild Photography and I had the opportunity to document Fête of Wales and all of its beauty during a styled shoot.

FÊTE OF WALES HAS MORE TO OFFER THAN JUST A BEAUTIFUL SPACE:
