Incredible! Amanda is a God send too!

We were so pleased with the venue, the service, the food, the price point and Amanda!

I can’t even offer one criticism. We loved the various food options that allowed us to be on budget for a 200 person wedding. The food from cocktail hour to the buffet was absolutely yummy. Our guests enjoyed the space and food. And Amanda set up our sweetheart table and Memoey table/card/guestbook like a pro! It felt so good to just leave it in her hands and not have to worry. Her execution was flawless. She answered all my questions throughout the whole process and worked to accommodate any of our needs. I can’t thank her and the staff enough for making our day so special.

Also, my morning first look was partially ruined bc of us being so late and we were able to make up for it a bit by taking some breath taking pics in the bridal suite which is a beautiful place to have. I’m so grateful we had our reception here and I wouldn’t change a thing!
And I loved that they provide beautiful centerpieces- one less thing i had to buy or outsource! Our wedding was so elegant. Thank you Willows and Amanda!!

Excellent Experience!!

We can't express enough how amazing our experience at The Willows was. We got married in October this year and Amanda and Bridget were incredible! The space was beautiful, all of the decorations that we brought were set up perfectly, and they made sure everything was running smoothly the entire day. The courtyard is kept very nice, as well as all around the restaurant, making for amazing photo spots. There are also a few willow trees which are great picture spots! The bridal suite was beautifully decorated. We had about 10 people in there and still had plenty of room.

When we emailed over questions, they got back to us quickly, reassuring us of any concerns we had and offering any assistance if needed. They were on top of everything, including emailing over information, reminding us of important due dates, setting up decorations, and letting us know what the next steps were. The tasting was scheduled while the restaurant was closed, so we had a quiet area to try everything and ask questions if needed. I have a dairy allergy and they were incredibly attentive with which menu items would be easy to make dairy free, the substitutions I could make for my specific plate, and even gave me a vegan roll for the rehearsal dinner and reception!

So many of our family members commented on how amazing Amanda and Bridgette were for the wedding reception. They quietly cleared plates and tables when guests got up to dance, set out water next to the dance floor, asked if we needed anything during the night, and had everything packed up into boxes by the time the night was over, ready to load up into our cars. We have heard that most coordinators will be absent the day of and not around much during the reception, but Amanda and Bridgette were present the entire time. They jumped in to help the rest of the staff if needed and made sure everything was on track. Our guests started to sit down a bit earlier than cocktail hour was supposed to end, so Bridgette and Amanda came to tell us that they were going to start dinner service earlier so guests didn't have to sit for long before food is served. Everything moved so smoothly that no one even knew that we were ahead of schedule for the night. The entire schedule of the day was so smooth and stress-free because of them!

We also got tons of compliments on the food and were so happy with how everything turned out! We were served at our sweetheart table, while the guests were announced to the buffet, giving us a much needed quiet moment to just soak in the day between the two of us. The amazing chef even came out to greet us after the reception to ask how everything was (he greeted us at the tasting as well). The entire staff was so kind and truly wanted to make sure everything was perfect! We can't thank Amanda, Bridgett and The Willows staff enough for making our day absolutely perfect and as stress-free as possible. If we could give them more than 5 stars, we would!!

The Fireside Tavern was the perfect place for our small wedding. Amanda and her staff were amazing and helped make the day stress free!

Amanda and her staff were always available when I had questions, and made the day stress free! The Lancaster room was the perfect fit for us and we would certainly hold another event there!

A Dream Wedding Day!

The Willows was the absolute perfect place for our July wedding reception! Throughout the entire process Amanda was communicative, and made sure all of our questions and concerns were answered.
On the day of the wedding, she made sure it went off perfectly. She had all of our decorations set out beautifully, and made sure everything was easily collected at the end of the night.
Also, our guests LOVED the food - many went back up to the buffet for seconds! She even sent us home with some leftovers, which was so thoughtful!
We highly recommend Amanda and the Willows for a stress-free wedding!

Wonderful Reception!

We had our wedding reception for 90 guests at the Willows in May. Amanda was awesome to work with from the very start with helping us choose menu items and options, and communicated with us every step of the way. The day of our event we felt the staff was so attentive and things ran so smoothly. The food was great! Nice to have a hotel options so close of our guests from out of town also. Definitely recommend!

Amazing!

We had an amazing experience with the Willows. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and our guests had amazing things to say about the venue, the food, and the entire flow of the night. The grounds were beautiful and made for gorgeous photos. We worked with Amanda who is a total gem. She was so communicative and accommodating throughout the entire planning process and was a lifesaver the day of. She seemingly though of everything. My fiance and I were both really excited for our cheese steak egg roll appetizers but missed them due to pictures and Amanda made sure we still got some. When I realized that I forgot our cake knife, she provided one, and when I brought some extra decor and said "I have this but have no idea what to do with it, she made it fit seamlessly. She also consolidated everything into fewer boxes to allow for easier transport back home and packed up food for us to bring back to our hotel. The waitstaff was so friendly and attentive. I got so many comments about how above and beyond they went including jumping in for a quick assist when there was a spill by a younger guest and even stepping in to take photos for a guest when asked. If I had to plan my wedding over again, I would 1000% percent choose the willows again. I have the most amazing wedding memories and The Willows played a huge role in that. I am so grateful.

Everyone at Fireside Tavern does a great job of making a wedding the best it can be. The location is beautiful, the food is great and the coordinator are very attentive to the couple needs. I've been there many times to shoot weddings and ever time they've hosted a spectacular wedding.

Rev. Kelly Jo Singleton, Interfaith Minister Rev. Kelly Jo Singleton, Interfaith Minister Wedding Officiants

From the view as an officiant, Fireside Tavern could not offer a more pleasurable experience. Amanda and her team are top notch and knows what it takes to keep a wedding running smoothly. I've observed nothing but professionalism and respect towards the brides and grooms and their guests and also towards the vendors, which doesn't happen at all venues. It always brings a smile to my face when a Fireside Tavern couple books with me because I know without a doubt it will be a pleasurable experience from beginning to end.
