Outstanding in every way

We had our 73 person October 2026 wedding at North Pond and it was absolutely spectacular! Every guest commented on how unique and perfect the venue was. The food was exceptional. We loved serving a four course meal for my guests. We are still getting comments from friends and family on how much they loved it! We were blown away by Julio, the events manager, who went above and beyond in every sense. We had a special wine tasting (we are self-proclaimed wine snobs) and Julio ordered all small batch wine to pair with the four course meal by Chef Cesar. We were able to pick the ones we liked and he ordered them to pair - what a dream! My wine snob guests were so impressed!! Our planner mentioned that she had never seen this level of personalization and detail for the wine pairings at a wedding before. Liz, our server for our tasting and for the wedding was exceptional! You can tell she truly has such a passion for what she does. Weeks later we are still getting comments on how exceptional and special the service and experience was. I don't think you'll find this level at any other wedding venue. I cannot recommend North Pond enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
