The Federal

Our experience at The Federal for a brunch baby shower was exemplary! The staff were accommodating, friendly, and professional. Ashley had great ideas on how to set the room up as well as tips for hosting a baby shower, and Danny and Amos set the room up perfectly for us very early in the morning so we could decorate before the shower. The main space itself is a stunning high ceiling room with huge windows which provides historic Prescott ambiance right on the courthouse square. What we also liked is that there are other spaces around the main room that can be used to expand as needed for things like serving food and drinks, checking in, or other activities. Having the flexibility to hire our favorite caterer to provide the brunch foods was also a real plus. I will be recommending this space to friends and family for their next event.

The venue was a historical building that I had never visited. Upon reaching the second floor via a stairway, we were shown our seats and immediately saw the multitudes of (electronic) candles lining the walls and in front of the stage area. Soon, the string quartet came out and started playing. The music was immediately identifiable and was played beautifully. The entire performance lasted just under an hour and it felt to be just the right length. I would attend again.

The best "small" amount of money, you'll spend for such a great time!!! Come in costume, or one of your favorite Edgar Allan Poe stories. The acting and performance of the written word was outstanding!!! The history, not to mention you can't get four cocktails for that amount of money. You guys, really, really, hit it out of the park. If you're thinking about going go!!! The audience enthusiasm and participation made the evening. Thank you for something out of the box, out of the ordinary and just outstanding in such a value. And these times, it was nice to not think about the world and what's going on. It was lovely, 🏵️ to just stay in the moment, with you all! 💞

We enjoyed hosting an ice cream social at the Federal in August 2024, as a fundraiser for the Savage for Judge campaign. The Federal is a beautiful venue, and as a former federal courthouse, it was a great fit for a judicial campaign event. Allison and her staff supported our team well, and our guests complimented the space. Unfortunately, the building's elevator was temporarily broken when our event occurred (a problem outside of the control of The Federal), which limited some people's participation. We appreciate all the staff did to take care of us. We're grateful that this space has been renovated for a new purpose in our community!

The history and the beauty are fantastic. A neat place to celebrate

We hosted a wellness expo, and the space was perfect! It even had a bar area so we could have ice and provide guests with water and tea. There was more than enough space for our 20+ vendors, we would love to host again there.

The Fairweather social club is a dream of an outdoor venue. The staff is so helpful, considerate and kind. They think of everything!! Downtown Prescott is always a gem and the bar next door is so hospitable and yummy! We loved having our festival there, 10/10 recommend.

I am a professional event planner and I recently assisted with an event at the Fairweather Social Club. This venue is a great outdoor space with beautiful aesthetics and a good amount of shade. The venue team and staff were great to work with as well! They went above and beyond.
