"Patrick was remarkably patient with all the many changes we had to make. Originally, we were set to get married in April 2020, but we had to cancel due to COVID. Then, we faced personal tragedies—our first baby was stillborn in June 2020, and just two weeks later, my mom was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Seven months after that, we lost our second baby at 11 weeks, all while my husband’s small business in the hospitality industry was struggling during the pandemic. Patrick was accommodating to my brother and his family, who preferred not to sit inside with us. He arranged a comfortable table for them on the patio and rented four heat lamps to keep them warm. It turned out to be a lovely setup, and they were far from miserable; in fact, they felt included, especially during the cocktail hour when Patrick served passed appetizers outside. Not only was Patrick patient with our numerous changes, but he was also incredibly warm, kind, and empathetic towards our situation. He truly made an effort to ensure our wedding day was as perfect as it could be, as he knew we deserved at least one joyful day. And he succeeded! The food and ambiance at our wedding reception were simply perfect. Choosing our menu was challenging because all the options he provided looked delicious! Patrick curated a selection based on our conversations, taking the time to understand our preferences and childhood memories. Ultimately, we settled on three passed appetizers, which our guests are still raving about, especially the salmon poke spoon and the battered halibut with tater tot and malt vinegar aioli. Although my husband is allergic to fish, we chose two fish appetizers anyway, believing our guests would love them. I felt bad that he could only eat one, but as soon as we arrived at the restaurant after the cocktail hour, the server brought us each a plate of the passed appetizers! Mine included two of each of the three appetizers, and they were absolutely phenomenal. My husband received two of the vegetarian option (a warm brie and mushroom crostini that was to die for) along with some delightful little sliders! They not only remembered his fish allergy but went out of their way to prepare something special for him. The salad, entrees, and dessert were all impeccable—delicious, beautifully plated, and served at just the right temperature. I’ll share a photo of the custom menus printed by our florist, Brooke from Burlap and Bordeaux, so you can see. This was genuinely the best meal of my life, and as a foodie with high standards, I’ve enjoyed many incredible meals, but this one topped them all! The service was outstanding too! The staff was attentive and professional, consistently going above and beyond to ensure our day was special. We couldn't be happier with our choice of State and Fig for our wedding reception, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to host a remarkable meal that will impress their guests. We’re still receiving compliments from our guests about the food, service, and overall ambiance of the restaurant! We are immensely grateful to Patrick and his staff for orchestrating a perfect wedding celebration."
