This review is for the catering hall aspect of this business, and from a guest’s POV. It does not in any way suggest that the wedding reception was bad. The parents of the bride were gracious and generous hosts, and a great time was had by all due to the stunning newly wedded couple, and their happy guests. The reception was held in the catering hall, where there seems to be ample space and staff to host 2 concurrent events. This space seemed out of date, but clean and utilitarian. The front garden section seems like a nice spot for wedding party photos. I’m not an expert on catered food(thank God) but have to admit that quality was lacking. I won’t even comment on the apps and passed hors d’oeuvres, but the main dishes need to be addressed. Crab cakes, if I was blindfolded and asked to taste I might say it was some type of seafoodesque cake, but not crab. Unless by crab they meant shells and other unused parts. Chicken parm, not even served with pasta and a disgrace to Italians everywhere. Beef, no, I won’t even bother. The service aspect was fair. The many servers seemed moody and unfriendly, although efficient. I thought the began to clear things too quickly, be it between courses or at the end if the night. So the big question I guess is if I would recommend this spot. Not knowing the cost of this per person versus other venues it is hard for me to say. I will say that if I were to receive an invite to attend another event here I would not be excited to partake in the food. A tasty lunch elsewhere then I’d concentrate on the hopefully open bar. 5 Unilocal for the newlyweds, but only 2 for Masso’s

Had a great experience at a fundraiser at this site, they had a separate space set up for the Oktoberfest — the food was incredible, the beers & wines delicious and the combination was ideal for encouraging a good energy & jovial experience for all the attendants.

Like the other reviewer, I too was married here in 2008. I wish I could give a more recent review than this, but alas I have not had the need to get remarried. We had the ceremony outdoors in front of their waterfall, which was beautiful. Then the reception was indoors in the«red pine inn». It is a lovely log cabin atmosphere. The price was good and they took excellent care of us. The staff is friendly and will take care of as much of the planning as you need them to. If you wish, they will provide you with catering, photography, music, and cake. Any of these elements can be replaced if you wish. I have only two complaints, but they are fairly minor. One, many of the cake choices(as of 2008) were woefully out of date. They had staircases leading from one tier to another, like in the 70s. The pictures of them were noticeably faded, even. We did find a nice modern design among the choices, though, so it wasn’t all bad. Two, the in-house photographer’s portfolio was unimpressive. The pictures were nice, but uninspired and very standard. We ended up bringing our own photographer instead so it wasn’t an issue for us. I recommend touring the place and seeing if it’s what you’re looking for. It’s a great way to have a nice classy wedding without spending too much. Don’t be put off by the general feeling of old-fashionedness in the office and clock shop; the actual venues and events themselves are top notch.

My wife and I had our wedding reception here in 2008. Not only is this a wonderful log cabin type atmosphere for a small reception, but the price was unbelievably low. I kept worrying that the service or the food quality would suffer because of the price, but the service was great and the food was perfectly adequate. They even sent someone to find a fan for the DJ when his laptop overheated. Highly recommend.
