About

Each of our venues is a love letter to its history, reimagined for modern celebrations.

Hello! I’m Kate

I create celebration spaces for moments that will live on as part of your family’s story, written within the walls of ours.

When I founded Fêtewell in 2016, I set out to create something different: venues rooted in history, designed for freedom, and built with community in mind. I believe couples deserve beautiful, authentic places to celebrate without unnecessary rules or limitations. That’s why each Fêtewell venue honors its unique story, whether it began as a bank or a factory, while offering the flexibility and warmth today’s couples want. My mission is to preserve these spaces and fill them with love, laughter, and memories for years to come.

I’m so glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to welcome you into our spaces.

Kate Dear, Fêtewell founder
