Not every reception needs a ballroom. Some just need good books, family-style pasta, and people who will appreciate a good cocktail.

Leopold’s & Fabiola’s is now available for private wedding receptions in 2026 and 2027 — a full buyout of both spaces for the kind of night you’ll still be talking about years from now.

Eight hours (3–11pm), both bars open, four bartenders, a specialty cocktail list and Italian-American dinner menu built just for you, open bar + food for up to 120 guests. You bring your photographer, your DJ/band, your coordinator, and your flowers. We’ll handle everything else.

We can accommodate a handful of dates across May, June, and July – including Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Fourth of July weekends.

This is a reception-only offering – no ceremonies – but if you’ve ever imagined your first dance surrounded by books, candlelight, and a very good espresso martini, we’d love to hear from you.

Throw your reception somewhere that already feels like a love story. Reach out to [email protected] with your preferred date, an estimated guest count, and anything else you’d like us to know. We’ll take it from there.
