The indoor barn space is super cute, and the outdoor ceremony area is stunning. They even set up a beautiful rustic wall that held prosecco for the cocktail hour, which was such a fun touch (and the wine was fantastic!). One of the biggest standouts was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and accommodating across the board. Even though the catering was brought in separately, the venue staff went above and beyond to figure out a plan for me to go up to the buffet early to avoid any cross-contamination. The layout of the property is seamless: there's a great space for the wedding party to stay and get ready, indoor bathrooms that were spotless, plenty of room for a digital photo booth, a great dance floor, and fun outdoor games. Plus, they are animal-friendly, so having pets as part of the wedding was incredibly special. The bride decorated with a lemon theme, which fit the rustic-chic vibe perfectly, and the in-house DJ kept the music fun all night. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

The…read moregrounds and barn are well-kept and feel secluded despite being just a quarter mile or so off the highway. The wedding I went to had an area set up with a tent and tables, an area with bags and giant Yahtzee, and an area across the driveway where the ceremony was held. The barn itself is bigger than it looks from outside and was able to accommodate several tables, a bar, a snack table, and a dance floor in addition to the built-in stage and a small deck out back. Downstairs there is a staging area for staff and those helping to keep the wedding going that's curtained off and the bathrooms. A++ for the staff - everyone I encountered was so nice and helpful and seemed to genuinely be enjoying themselves. D for the bathrooms. 1) There were only two stalls in the ladies room for about a hundred women. 2) The locks were out of alignment and I kept pinching my finger trying to get in and out. 3) The outer bathroom door stayed open so anyone was hanging out in the hallway could hear you taking care of business. 4) There was such a large gap in the stall door nearest the sink that anyone who was washing their hands had a pretty good view of you on the toilet. Yikes. Pretty much everyone I knew commented on the bathrooms and the awkwardness - improving those would go a long way to creating a five-star experience!

Adding more pictures from last years review. I ended up saving some money by using my own " props". In other words, my own cake stands and platters to elevate and create higher areas on the display. But if you can do that then there is also no need to schedule to have them come back and do any removal of their props etc.

The charcuterie board was very beautiful with a thoughtful mix of flavors. The wine selection was enough to provide something for anyone's palette. Also brands you don't typically find which was fun to try new vineyards. The ambience was very clean and bright. The staff was very friendly and did their best to provide you with an excellent experience. It's a unique concept and it's cool to do something of this nature without all the chaos of a winery or a restaurant. Also they provide their charcuterie in boxes for you to take home or to an outdoor event. We will go back next time we visit Madison!

We wanted an outdoor wedding, with some indoor seating for dinner, that was not only beautiful but personalized. We got all of that (and then some) at Still Point Flower Farm.

Penny and Phil are such a wonderful couple to work with, they were available anytime we needed them and worked hard to make any request we had a reality.

At a conference, in the buffet line, I had gotten salad and the server was getting ready to swap a new bowl in. I held onto the tongs to try and make that task easier for him, but he told me to "give me that," so I did. I moved on in the line, and heard him ask "You think that's funny, huh?". I asked for clarification and he repeated this, to which I responded that I was just trying to help. He then said "I don't need your help, don't need your help." I left it at "Sorry," but once I was a few meters down the line, I looked back and he yelled at me, asking "Why you looking at me? Don't look at me!". He repeated this a few times, I told him that I hoped the rest of his day would be better, and he said "My days are always perfect. You're the problem, you're the one having a bad day."

It's never really…read morebeen on our radar as a place to try, but the restaurant week menu looked pretty good, so we figured, why not. We came early, and I'm glad we did as they had many reservations that night and the restaurant is pretty small, but we got a seat right away. The view was pretty impressive since the restaurant is on the 8th floor, but I assume it was better before the large parking ramp went in. The waiter was quick to get our order and the manager came over and chatted with us for a while. Very friendly staff. We also noticed that they don't accept tips and if any are left on the table they go to charities. Definitely made this a higher value for restaurant week, and it was nice to hear that the employees are paid well. As for the food, we ordered the whitefish and corn fritters and beef skewers for our appetizers. The fritters were the perfect texture, crisp outside and soft pillowy inside. They came with a hot honey dip and were quite tasty. Also they gave you plenty to share. The beef skewers were also very tasty. You couldn't go wrong with either appetizer. For the main we got the pork chop and the Mahi Mahi. The pork chop was a little difficult to cut, but I think that was moreso due to the knife, as it tasted great. Well seasoned and also paired nicely with the hot honey dip it came with. The sweet potato puree was a good pair with the pork. The Mahi Mahi was also well seasoned and paired well with all the veggies in the succotash. The dessert options were a fruit tart and a black forest bombe. As a dessert/cheesecake snob, I thought the crust on the tart was impressive but the pastry cream was lacking a little flavor; it could have just used a little more lemon or something tart in the filling. The black forest bombe was the winner of the desserts and had a nice presentation. Overall, we were fans and this is definitely now on our radar for a dinner date. Would recommend!

The food was good (minus the cheesecake, it was odd tasting and kind of stale), views were nice but the bartender was disappointing in his service. If I stay in the Fluno again, I'd just save my time and try to go somewhere else.

When planning my wedding, I was looking for a caterer who shared my food values. I wanted someone who would present my guests with some delicious local food; someone who would be low-key and easy to work with. UFC seemed to be just what I was looking for. But then, I should have known it wouldn't be so easy. First, I had to email approximately 15 times before I was able to set up a meeting with them. Since I live in San Francisco, I had a window of about a week to meet with them. Needless to say, they weren't very interested in accommodating me. Then, the meeting. After the general unhelpfulness of our scheduling exchanges, my expectations were low, but wow! Now, I generally expect that when I meet with a caterer, I'll get to taste some of their food. Not so. I (sort of) understood, since they don't have a kitchen facility, per se. I reminded myself to keep an open mind. Most caterers will lead you through the initial meeting, getting a sense of what you're looking for, your budget, your style. Not this guy. What we got was... well, not much besides a lot of chef peacockery. Now, being from San Francisco, I'm used to food snobs. I am fluent in their language - they are my people. But UFC made me feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman - the scene when she is hysterically pulling wads of cash out of her purse, begging to be waited on in Beverly Hills. Surprise, surprise, they never called me back - another giant red flag - and I didn't pursue them either. I did send an email letting them know how disappointed I was, which (of course) was never replied to. I would caution anyone against working with these folks. Even though their mission and food seem to be top notch, their diva behavior is just too much. I only wish I could give zero stars.
