Words almost fail to express how freaking fabulous our time with The Barker House was! We are just over 3 months married (3/27/2025) and family and friends still remark to us on just how fun and gorgeous our wedding was. A ton of that credit goes to the amazing staff at the Barker House. Right from the start of our first tour, we were treated with such kindness and respect from the Barker House team. We were immediately sold on the staff (who took such time and care chatting with us) before we even fell in love with the venue. Davis-Lynn and Lilly were our rockstars! We were lucky enough to have them with us on our wedding day. The first portion of the day I was incredibly nervous, but once I was greeted by Davis-Lynn at the front door all my worries dissipated. I knew I was in the best of hands and suddenly felt ready to have fun. Even during the dinner service, Lilly was so kind as to sew my ripped bustle behind the scenes. She was so dedicated to making sure we had the best experience. The venue is simply stunning. As two people who appreciate history and go antiquing regularly, The Barker House spoke to our personalities. The speak-easy feel of the sunken bar, fireplaces, and exposed beams are very unique. The venue is in a gorgeous area and we were glad to be by the ocean. The chef is phenomenal as the food service was top notch. Family still exclaim to us how delicious the food was (omg the short ribs perfection!). I also suggest that couples utilize The Barker House's recommended vendors. Not only was payment and interaction with them a breeze, but they were each fabulous in responsiveness and quality. Awesome Blossom, Toast To That Entertainment, and Kristen Griffin Photography were incredibly professional and they each blew us away. I could go on and on... The bottom line, if you looking for a worry free all inclusive beautiful venue and want to work with the best people, look no further than The Barker House! P.S. Brides, make sure you get a picture with your planners! My only regret is that I didn't get a picture with Lilly and Davis-Lynn!

Booking Fall River Country Club for our wedding was the BEST decision we made. This venue is EVERYTHING and it was the most reasonably priced of all the venues we looked at. The view over the water is breathtaking and provided the best backdrop to our ceremony. We were also able to take beautiful pictures out on the course with the water in the background. The best part of our wedding was dancing outside under the tent all night. The DJ provided up lighting that lit up the tent to the music and it made the whole experience. We had a fire pit tended to all night as well for those that needed a quick break! I cannot stress enough how incredible the food is, especially the dessert which is all homemade by the chef!! They will even customize the menu for you! Lastly, their staff is unmatched. From day one we worked with Tammy to make all of our wishes for the day come true. Tammy is an outstanding coordinator and a total pro in this business. She was always so kind, calm, collected, and organized which is a bride’s dream! She went above and beyond for us and anytime I asked her for something she would say yes we can, or yes we have that, or no but I can get that or make that for you. I felt completely taken care of the whole way. She made everything so easy and I felt like I didn’t have to lift a finger. I dropped off all of my decorations the day before and she had the entire venue set up (plus extra!) perfectly for our wedding without ever asking me a question the day of. I was so impressed with how everything looked. Then at the end of the night she made sure it was all packed up in our cars and I didn’t have to do a thing!! She made sure all of our needs were met throughout the day and checked in on us to make sure we had food and drinks. The wait staff and bartenders were also so kind and attentive to all of our guests. They truly made me feel so special. I had the most incredible wedding day, absolutely perfect, and it is no doubt due to all those at the Fall River Country Club! Book them now I promise you will not be disappointed!!!

I got married at Lake Pearl in July 2024, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, the entire staff was an absolute dream to work with. They truly held my hand through the whole process, making everything feel so seamless and stress-free. One of the best parts was that the venue included beautiful floral centerpieces and a delicious cake, which took so much coordination off my plate. Their preferred vendors and the staff are like a well-oiled machine, working together flawlessly. Lake Pearl is also the perfect backdrop for photos, with a beach, dock, gardens, and tree-lined forest areas that provide diverse landscapes for stunning photo opportunities. I got married in the new Belvedere building, which is a showstopper filled with great lighting and tons of windows! Getting ready on-site was a wonderful experience, with breakfast and lunch catered to the bridal suite, making for a perfect, relaxed start to the day. From the cocktail hour to the reception, everything went smoothly, and it truly was the best day of my life. A huge thank you to Jules and Janet for making everything perfect!

We were well fed, and the venue worked with us the entire year while we planned a detailed event that explored many different cultures. We appreciated our coordinators Kristin and Lindsay who were so supportive throughout. we could not imagine a better outcome and were so grateful. The entire staff seemed excited to be present, and we felt their Caring nature. (Just to note- We also had no wedding planner and leaned heavily on them throughout).

We had our wedding at Venezia on 6/29/24 and it was absolutely perfect. Jennifer was our coordinator that we worked with throughout the entire process. She was so helpful and organized during the entire planning phase and truly listened to each one of our requests to make them a reality. The food was phenomenal, we have had so many guests reach out to say how delicious everything was, from the massive cheese display to the portion sizes of the dinners and the dessert table was HUGE. There was plenty of food and plenty of staff to assist all 250 of our guests. As the bride and groom, one staff member, Rob was nearby us all night for any single thing we needed and to ensure we were having a great time. He was so helpful! The timeline of the entire day went off without a hitch, once again thanks to Jen for understanding how we wanted everything to flow and to the entire staff for executing. There were no delays in getting food to tables and the entire ceremony and reception flowed smoothly. The newly renovated second floor space is STUNNING. We had our ceremony up here and it was beautiful. The venue has ocean views on both levels and a beautiful deck that guests were able to use during our reception. I can not recommend Venezia enough for a wedding or any other event - they are truly professionals and experts at what they do. Our day was perfect and we are so happy this was our venue.

Our daughter’s wedding reception was held at GrandView in April 2024. Our choice of this venue was one of the best decisions that we ever made! The food was wonderful – I received comments from guests that the food was hot when it arrived at their table. It was a “wow” moment when they opened the doors to the dining room – the room was stunning. Our guests were so impressed by the ladies room that they took pictures in there – I’ll leave it to you to visit the venue to find out why. Another popular place for our guests to take pictures was in front of the champagne wall. Erin, our coordinator, ensured that the event went flawlessly – she was such a pleasure to work with! GrandView staff even packed up our car for us at the end of the night. You will know exactly how much the event will cost you when you sign the contract because the wedding cake, provided by an Italian bakery, and the open bar are included in the price provided. To quote many of our guests, the reception was “phenomenal”.
