“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!”

“We worked with Chelsea, as our wedding planner/day of coordinator and she was AMAZING! Chelsea made our wedding weekend smooth, easy and stress free. Everything I could possibly need, she had. Everything was organized and beautiful. Chelsea could accommodate anything we needed and had attention to all the details, big and small. Her support staff was also organized, and knew exactly what to do and how to help. There was no question of where to be, when, or what we needed to do. As the bride, there were no issues on my wedding day, as far as I knew. And if there were, I know it is because Chelsea and her team took care of it. They have a golf cart to bring the bride from the hotel to the close outdoor reception place, but it is a nice little ride to ensure you stay clean and don't have to walk. There was champagne to celebrate at the end of the isle after we got married for us and our bridal party. They brought our cocktail hour snacks and drinkswater outside to us to enjoy while doing formal photos so we didn't miss out on anything! The planning stages with Chelsea were easy and coordinated. She had all the questions to ask, and was prepared for anything we could need. We had a few meetings leading up to the wedding where we organized all the finer details to ensure the day went off smoothly. We also had a welcome event and brunch at the venue, and it was great to get multiple different spaces to be able to host those events in a variety of areas within the hotel grounds.”

“OceanCliff Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, the staff, especially Alison and Taylor, were incredibly responsive and great listeners as we planned our special day. The venue itself is open, stunning water views, breath taking sunsets and beautifully appointed with fireplaces that created a warm and cozy atmosphere. We got married last month, January, and our guest could not stop telling us how much they loved the fireplaces and views. I chose this venue because of the fireplace, views, and chandeliers. I scheduled our ceremony during the sun set and it was more than I could have ever expected. The food was amazing, and the entire team worked efficiently to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. I did add the clam chowder and clam cakes to our cocktail hour and all the guests have raved about how good the clam cakes were! In my opinion they are better than Iggy’s. Yes, I said that! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our marriage. I highly recommend doing the ceremony and taking pictures during the sunset! We highly recommend OceanCliff Hotel to any couple looking for a stunning backdrop and attentive service for their wedding. Pick this venue now! This is your sign! :)”

“Hotel Providence was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue. I loved moving from room to room, having a dance floor away from space for folks to have coffee and dessert, and to be able to walk upstairs at the end of the night. We could not have been more happy. There has been a recent change in events personnel, which led to some miscommunications and a few things not happening as expected. While nothing that altered any piece of our enjoyment, I would recommend couples who are more anxious or type A to hire a day/month of coordinator to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. The staff at HP are five-star, and they handled every questions, concern, issue, and guest with grace and professionalism. I thought it was well-priced., and for us, having a venue that "does it all" was super important.”

“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!”

“Having my wedding at the Newport Marriott exceeded my expectations from start to finish. You can't beat the scenic location, unmatched convenience of having accommodations under the same roof to the staff that went above and beyond with every request big or small. I can't express enough how at ease I felt leading up to my wedding working with Rachel who was my events coordinator. Throughout my entire planning process, I could always count on her for a prompt response with answers to any questions I had or resolutions to any new requests and concerns I'd throw her way. Being able to have full trust in Rachel was really the greatest gift I could ask for. She made the process so stress-free and it's worth mentioning she's super sweet and a joy to be around! When I think back on my wedding, I'll always remember how helpful she was and how much that positively impacted the entire experience. Every staff member I worked with was incredibly helpful and pleasant. My guests rang their praises after the big day too. The food and bar service was top notch. I used the house centerpieces that were gorgeous. I hadn't a single worry about everything coming together the way I planned and pictured all because of the staff here. You will NOT regret having your wedding here. Your guests will love it, you'll have an amazing weekend and your planning process will be seamless.”

“So happy we decided on The Villa for our September Wedding! The ceremony was held outdoors at the beautiful Madera Gardens. Their rustic pergola photographed so nicely as did the ballroom. We received so much positive feedback how smooth the night went and how delicious the food was! Lexie and Becky were wonderful to work with. Lexie was our assigned event producer. She executed the vision we had perfectly. Becky was the best wedding attendant! We never went hungry or thirsty the entire evening. She even packed up all the decorations for my family at the end of the night. They both saved me multiple times with some dress issues I was having. They went above and beyond to make the night so special for us! If you’re looking for a beautiful venue and want peace of mind that your night will go smoothly, definitely go with any of the SEG locations. They are truly the best in the business!”

“From start to finish, Sydney was absolutely amazing! She answered all of our questions, was incredibly responsive, and remained flexible throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, Sydney was on top of every detail, making sure everything flowed seamlessly. Even when unexpected mishaps came up, she handled every situation with professionalism, grace, and a calm demeanor that put us at ease. Our bridal attendant Amy was top notch and was a pleasure to work with. Avenir is a stunning venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to celebrate our wedding there. The entire staff was warm, friendly, and attentive, making both us and our guests feel so well taken care of.

“From the moment we started planning, Miriam and the team at Bourne Mansion understood exactly what we wanted and made it happen with incredible attention to detail. They helped us customize the bar menu and asked thoughtful questions that made us think about details we hadn't considered, which really elevated our day. The ballroom's acoustics were perfect, and the food was exceptional; our guests haven't stopped raving about it. During cocktail hour, we watched deer graze across the sprawling green space with the oceanfront backdrop, and it felt like something out of a dream. Bourne Mansion has the grandeur and elegance we were looking for, and their team's responsiveness and care made the entire experience feel seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better venue.”
