We were so glad we found Meadow Brook Inn! It checked off all of the boxes for us AND the staff were awesome to work with. We dreamt of having our ceremony outdoors in nature and despite a little bit of rain, the MBI team made sure our dreams came true. Marisa was communicative throughout the process and guided us through our ceremony rehearsal. Our guests raved about the appetizers and desserts and over all we had a joyful experience. The ceremony space was so peaceful, the lawn is elegant and charming, and the reception hall, lounge, and bar are all spacious and comfortable. We were able to come in the day before to decorate before our rehearsal and add our own personal touch the the venue. I am so grateful we found MBI and that we were able to host our wedding here :) Thank you Marisa, Gabe, Brian, and to the whole MBI team for making this once in a lifetime celebration so special for all of us!

Choosing 360 East at Montauk Downs as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made. From the start, their communication style was incredibly accommodating, responsive, helpful, and kind. Hailee, who manages the venue, was a true powerhouse - she had a smile on her face the entire night and it was clear she loves what she does. The staff was equally as great, ensuring the whole planning process was a breeze and our special day could not have been more perfect. The quality of their work and value was stunning - the venue was beautifully managed, the food was incredible, and they had amazing in-house vendors that provided great service. We couldn't recommend 360 East at Montauk Downs more highly to any couple looking for an incredible wedding experience.

From day one, Lauren and the team at Alpine Country Club made planning our wedding feel effortless. Lauren handled every detail with such skill that the day ran like clockwork, and we honestly can't say enough about her professionalism and warmth. The venue itself was gorgeous and had more than enough room for our 177 guests to move around and enjoy themselves. The only small hiccup we experienced was with the bar service—several guests mentioned the bartenders seemed stretched thin, which was a bummer since my husband and his police officer friends/family were ready to celebrate. Despite that one issue, Alpine Country Club delivered an incredible day for us, and we'd absolutely recommend them to other couples looking for a solid venue with an outstanding coordinator & unbeatable pricing!

It’s taken almost 2 months to even come up with the appropriate words to show the amount of gratitude we have to the hotel providence. From the moment we met, we knew it was a match. The chemistry was kismet, like where has kate been all my life?!? I hate that i don’t live in providence because I would have EVERY single event there always. We were one of her many COVID couples and literally had our food tasting the week before lockdown in NYC. Her flexibility and understanding of postponements, and keeping us informed on mandates and our options for everything was truly amazing. Now let’s get to the big weekend, from the SECOND we pulled up we were VIP’s all the way. Every member of the staff knew who we were and that it was our wedding weekend and i have never felt more special in my whole life. When i tell you that i didn’t stress out one bit because i just knew “Kate has this, Kate has this” and man she did! Every single detail was perfect. Everything was perfect. Every single person working the wedding was perfect. Food was EXCELLENT, like ten times better than the tasting. The hotel itself is absolutely perfect, the Rodger Williams suite was a great touch, loved being able to check on our dog from the wedding downstairs courtyard. I’ll be forever grateful to every single person that helped make this long loooong journey to the alter possible and for pulling off the greatest party that my friends and family are all still talking about. So if you want to feel like the most important person in the world, book with them.
