The Granite Rose

Great venue! So pretty. The staff was on point, everything seemed smooth and laid back. The food was amazing, especially the haddock supreme. The berry zampaglione, was great. the bread basket was good, rolls, everything rolls, and pumpkin bread for no reason! so good! the seafood stuffed mushrooms were excellent and big! and i was told the beef on a stick was very good. The cake was delicious and moist! Timing was great!
My only issue is that there are 2 event spaces, and they share a bathroom.
We were here for my friend’s wedding, and the other event was a high school safe dance. So there were terrible teenagers in the bathrooms (I was told a boy was in the men’s room moshing… to no music, bumping into people at the urinal… uhh), being sketchy, and cops standing guard. It would have been nice if they had informed the bride, before they paraded a bus load of teenagers past the main window… all waving at us… lame
they also told the bride she had to provide a basket of toiletries in each bathroom. The high school did not do this. SO teenagers were just rummaging through and stocking up.

We went to a local charity event here for the local library and the Granite Rose handled the crowd and the event well.
The place is Big and clean, very hotel-​y decorated, but quite dated in the décor.
The food was fine– we had a good meal and was hot and fresh.
The bartender was quick and accommodating and drink prices were not sky high which was not a turn off.
I think they did a good job and would recommend to friends.

We just celebrated my sister’s wedding here this past weekend! Five stars is definitely what they are getting from me. First of all, anyone who can deal with drunk groomsmen gets extra stars if it were possible to do so! Poor Jen, our server, was a great sport when gently harassed and flirted with by the best man! Erin was our coordinator and she was absolutely amazing!!! She was not only friendly (and patient), but made my sister’s special day absolutely unforgettable. The venue itself was beautiful, well maintained, and had a really nice cozy feel, although it was not small so it wasn’t a cramped feeling. There are two separate function rooms so sometimes there are two going on at the same time, however, I would literally have never known it if I hadn’t sent my gf back to the car for something and she walked into it! ha! The hall itself was beautiful, surrounded by a dark brown wooden porch and the courtyard area out back where she got married was so beautiful! The flowers growing in the back, including beautiful daisies, and the rocks/​waterfall/​gazebo above made beautiful wedding pics. I was so impressed! Food was amazing! When I watch Four Weddings, people are so critical, but this food was so awesome… we had a buffet style that was elegant, delicious, and plentiful. I am a vegetarian, so even though they had fish in the buffet, vegetarians were able to get our own plate in case they didn’t want fish and it was really yummy! The bread was soooo good, hot, with whipped butter! My niece had a really great looking children’s plate. They were so accommodating! DJ was amazing and I believe he was recommended through GR. He was professional and no chicken dance as requested by the bride and groom! He was very patient with the drunks and constant requests! Overall this place is amazing and should definitely be considered!

My husband and I got married May of 2012
After a lot of research, venue shopping, crunching numbers, and tasting food… it was a no brainer that the Granite Rose was the perfect place.
First, we all know that wedding food is the worst around. Not at the Granite Rose. The food here is absolutely delicious… my guests still mention it 1 year later.
Second, the customer service and attention to detail was refreshing. Erin, Rich and team were friendly, responsive, creative, and helpful. They embraced all of my bride-​ly requests and delivered.
They venue looks fantastic in pictures and the gardens are amazing if you want an outdoor event.
I would recommend the Granite Rose to anyone like me… expects good customer service, responses in a timely fashion, and delicious food!

My fiancé and I called one weekend when we were in the area, looking for places to get married. Rich (the owner) was so pleasant on the phone, and said «sure, come on down!» with no appointment, we showed up. there was no function going on. Rich showed us the entire place, made sure he had the date available we wanted.
He has been very receptive, answering any/​all questions we have. We ended up spending about an hour with Rich. He did not rush us at all, gave us some very useful information, and documents for us to take home and look over. He is very proud of his venue, as he should be. It is so up to date, and kept so nicely.
Needless to say, we booked!
We cannot wait until our wedding night. So pleased thus far! Many people we ask/​tell about granite rose has extremely good compliments!
