Amazing attentive staff

The manager and staff were attentive to every detail and had many great suggestions for personalizing our space. The wait staff was well prepared and checked in on us frequently to make sure we were happy. We used the upstairs room and breezy outdoor patio to create our wedding chapel, a intimate formal dinner area with Tuscany style family seating, and a party dance floor. Sound system piped in our playlist. The table was set beautifully. I highly recommend this venue.

Chris was great!!

We had an amazing experience at Bridgewater! Chris Adkins was phenomenal!!! He was very responsive, organized, flexible, and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. You can tell he truly cared about the little details and made sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day! The venue itself was spacious and clean, and the staff were wonderful! We really enjoyed working with Chris and would highly recommend him as your event manager to everyone!!!

Bridgewater Banquet Center was more than I could have hoped for (mother of the bride). The ceremony/reception packages are amazingly reasonable. The décor on the wedding day was surreal. Our contact (Terra) couldn't have been better. The food (banquet style) was delicious. Additionally, we used many suggestions for other vendors provided by Terra and loved every one of them. A terrific day was had by all!

They were amazing in any ways! The food was great, the service was nice, the decoration and setting were beautiful, and they were very helpful and reasonable. I felt they were truly wanting to make my wedding precious. Every single guest loved that place, food, and service. They all felt they were welcomed to my wedding. We really appreciated their support, input and advice in planning. We could not have had such a fun and beautiful wedding without them! I loved that place and the people!!!! Please check it out!

Bridgewater has a wonderful space and they take pride in their work, so they were willing to go above and beyond expectations to make sure we were happy. Turns out we were thrilled! The staff knew what we wanted (even when we couldn't articulate it) and were able to make it happen. The staff decorated so nicely. And I'm not just talking about the linens. They set up a sweet heart table on the stage where he and I said "I do" with the flowers we ordered, but they had pipe and draped the room and "uplighted" it with purple and white. The transition between the wedding and reception was fantastic. The room was decorated beautifully! During the transition we had appetizers which were DELICIOUS, I just wish I would have been able to eat more. The venue and food was expensive but several of our guests said it was one of the best weddings they'd been to and I agree. I would definitely recommend it to anyone with this kind of budget!

Cathy did a wonderful job in helping us with our venue arrangements. Our initial contact at Bridgewater was terrible, but when Cathy took over, everything went perfectly!

Bridgewater banquet and conference center is a beautiful facility to host your wedding ceremony as well as your wedding reception. The sales staff will definitely go above and beyond to get your business, however, if there are more than 1 event plan for the same time you might not yet direct attention from all staff members. While the food was excellent, the facility is excellent, as well as the hosting room for the bride n groom are excellent, there are some things that needs attention. When speaking to the GM of the property we were told 1 thing, however when the date of our ceremony arrived, there were several promises that were completely different than what we received. Even though things that were promised were not upheld, my guest still had a wonderful time, my wedding party had a beautiful time, and my wedding was great.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Bridgewater is such a beautiful venue that many of our clients have used for their weddings - and they always have rave reviews. Their spacious main room is so elegant, and the setup makes it perfect for any event from smaller needs to larger weddings. We have also personally been to many events there, and if you choose to use their in house meal options, you will definitely be pleased. The food that we have sampled there has all been amazing! Also, the team of professionals there are brilliant as well. From in house decor - to the planning and food, they can make your big day one that all your guests will be talking about for a very long time.
