“We had our wedding reception at the Villa this September and it was everything we dreamed of and more! Biggest thanks to Ellen Jones (our event producer) and all the employees at this venue. The Villa is absolutely gorgeous. The grounds are amazingly kept and beautiful! Our reception was in the tent and it provided the indoor and outdoor feel we were looking for! The food was absolutely amazing! Our guests absolutely loved all the passed hors d’oeuvres and meals. The Villa made communicating and planning so easy for us! Ellen was an absolute gem. She communicated extremely well from beginning to end and made the whole process very easy. Our wedding reception was somewhat unique (we didn’t do our ceremony at the Villa and we wanted our wedding ceremony video to be played during cocktail hour) but Ellen made sure it was the exact vision I was aiming for. She sent many helpful tips throughout the process. We are forever grateful for Ellen and I hope everyone books with her and the Villa for the most seamless wedding process possible!”

“What can I say. The Fall River Country Club and Tammy hit it out of the park. I’m not a difficult person but I am a specific one. I don’t expect everyone to be like me, but the whole event and anyone associated with it came within 99% of my expectations. From the meetings, to being able to view it during other set ups, to her answering every question and making all requests and accommodations happen – her and the venue were just fantastic. If you want something all in one place without having to deal with so many different moving parts, then the FRCC and Tammy is the place for you. The venue had ample parking and the food was fantastic! Being organized is key. If you are organized the FRCC will 100% carry out your vision. The bridal sweet is huge, you can order restaurant service if you are going to be there a long time, she opens early if you need it that day … I’d go and look at it, if it checks your boxes, then make the rest of it happen. You will not be sorry. The views are just amazing, the spots for photography both inside and outside are beautiful. The bathrooms were clean and spacious and has a cute nook to put wedding baskets if you so choose. We had the wedding in Nov so I said please, in the common areas please feel free to leave your decor. Very tasteful and the staff, from cook, to bar, to wait staff - just phenomenal. Never sitting still. If you ask a question or needed something they came right back to you, not some half hour later. I can honestly say if planned properly your vision will be executed and your day will be a stress free one. They also had a smaller room upstairs that we reserved for the out of town guests / rehearsal dinner so they could drive to the location and get a lay of the land. We had a diff, more casual menu for that. It came out exactly how we planned.”

“Picking the wedding venue is the first big step in planning the big day, after seeing the venue at Bittersweet Farm and meeting with our to be coordinator, it was a quick and easy decision to book them as a venue. We had a Fall wedding and we were fortunate to have great weather to hold the ceremony outside which is beautiful, however this venue having a 'Plan B' for the ceremony to be held inside in case of bad weather was a key selling point. Our wedding coordinator Alexis was amazing, communication was great and the day of she was so organized on directing us for the ceremony and reception. The food is also a huge highlight, all our guests kept praising how good the food was. Needless to say this was the best venue we could have picked, also we strongly feel you get your money's worth and Bittersweet gives you a very well valued package that isn't no where near where other overly priced venues are charging.”
