McGoverns on the Water Reviews

I had the best wedding at McGovern’s. Kathy and her staff go above and beyond for you . The food is fantastic . They decorated for my wedding just the way I wanted . I fell in love with this place as soon as I saw the beautiful gazebo by lake , so pretty.

We chose MCGOVERN’S for our August wedding and could not have asked for a better experience! Kathy and Joe went above and beyond to make our day amazing. Our wedding photos came out beautifully against the background of the water and gazebo. It was just so convenient for our guests to attend the reception and ceremony all in one location. There was plenty of parking for all of our guests and the food was outstanding! The servers and bartender were all so kind. If we had to do it all over again we would pick this location without hesitation!!

There aren’t enough words I can say about this venue, Kathy and Joey!! They vent above and beyond to make our day amazing! We were blown away at how beautiful the room looked! The service and food was amazing! Thank you all

Kathy is amazing and really helped make my vision a reality my wedding was amazing and the food was phenomenal!

They were so accomodating to our needs with such short notice. Food was delicious with big portions and staff was great. Room was decorated perfectly. It was just as I had hoped. The grounds are perfect for beautiful photos. Highly recommended!

McGovern's and Kathy in particular were phenomenal!!! The service we received before and during the wedding was exceptional. She took care of so many things for us even ordering and decorating to our color scheme perfectly a cupcake cake holder because we wanted a cupcake wedding cake. Joey also was great he made sure my dress was perfect for pictures, took care of us personally during cocktail hour and during the meal and made sure we wanted for nothing. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how perfect our wedding was from the ceremony on their gazebo to the food that was to die for and the endless fun they had during the reception. I would recommend McGovern's to anyone that wants one stop wedding they can do it all for you and don't forget any of the little details!!! If we could do it again we would choose McGovern's time and time again!!

I can’t even begin to explain how absolutly perfect our wedding day way. We were just looking to have a fun party with our family and friends but we ended up having the fairytail wedding we never even knew we wanted! We selected Mcgoverns because we had done many events with them in the past and the food and service was always great and their packages included so many of the extras that other venues charge alot extra for (cake, centerpieces, linens). But little did we know the way they handle weddings is on a whole other level! Kathy was always so great with all the planning and so enthusiastic and detailed! I’m the fourth daughter and my parents have been through this 3 times prior and every time we met with her they couldn’t get over all the details she covered and were kicking themselves for not having considered them in the past. Everything was so beautiful and the food was endless and delicious. And above all else was Joey! Oh my god, I can’t even express how amazing he was. He made sure we had everything we needed before we even needed it, he bustled my dress once pictures were over, he let us know when we needed to be somewhere (because you tend to lose track of time) and he made sure everthing was perfect for us at every moment. I used to roll my eyes when people would say their wedding was the best day ever but it was truely amazing!

McGovern's was amazing! All of my guests were complimenting about how wonderful of a job they did! Kathy was awesome, we had meetings every few months so she could make sure that I was on track with everything and she gave me some helpful advice along the way! Joey was extremely helpful on the day of our wedding! We are so happy that we chose to having our reception there, from the service to the food, I cannot say enough! The flaming dessert and the show they put on is a must! All of my guests were raving about how much food there was and how delicious it was! They gave to-go containers for those that couldn't finish their meals, that's how much food there was! Highly recommend them! Pricing was extremely reasonable!

You get so much for a great price. The food is so good, the staff are great and the price is unbeatable!! Beautiful grounds to take pictures. You can get married outside in the gazebo. They take pride in their work!!

Cathy is amazing and all of her staff is as well. They were extremely attentive and made sure that my husband and I didn't have to ask for anything. When we arrived the drinks we wanted as well as hors d'oeuvres were waiting for us outside when we arrived. Joey was amazing and made I had everything I needed all night. When my dress needed adjusting and the bustle needed to be fixed it he did it without me asking! The food was amazing and we are kind of bummed that we can't order what we ate at the restaurant as they only serve it for weddings and special occasions. The pricing was reasonable and included everything from the food to the linens. If you are looking for quality and a good prices, McGovern's is the way to go!

McGovern's truly made our wedding amazing. All of the meetings we had with Kathy and the rest of the staff helped put us at ease through the entire event. They made sure we were on track with everything and had things planned on time. They also gave us tips and ideas for things that we weren't even planning on doing. The room looked amazing, and the food and service were out of this world. The appetizers just kept coming the entire time of the cocktail hour, and then we had an amazing dinner. The staff was friendly and helpful all night. Everyone was impressed with the service and food of McGovern's. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have their wedding there.

Absolutely wonderful! They worked with me every step of the way and made everything a lot less stressful. Beautiful place. Gazebo by the water to take pictures. Very professional. Calm atmosphere. Great food. Loved it! Best day of my life! Thank you!

McGovern's on the Water was the best choice we could have made for our wedding venue. They are affordable and they do not nickel and dime you like the bigger venues on tablecloths, chair covers, etc. Throughout the planning process Kathy spent countless hours guiding us. Our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and wedding day went beautifully and we have McGovern's to thank! The food and service is exceptional! If you want the wedding of your dreams, call McGovern's!

Kathy and her staff were outstanding! They listened to all our ideas and did whatever it took to make our special day unforgettable! The food was incredible, the wedding package was very reasonable and the cake was outstanding! Joyce made our ceremony so personal.. I would highly recommend McGoverns

Literally soup to nuts! The staff at McGovern's is wonderful! They will take care of all of your needs with planning to the day of.

Best choice I could have ever made for my wedding venue. We got married on the beautiful grounds and had our reception there as well. One word for this place is " remarkable" . Kathy was amazing! I recommend McGoverns to everyone. My friend got married at a very exclusive place in RI and paid so much money and didn't get nearly the service or assistance from them as McGoverns gave us. Kathy helps you with everything from place cards to the wedding cake. She was our wedding planner which I didn't expect to get from the venue. The food was amazing and I still have family and friends talking about the food at my wedding from 2 years ago. What you get for the money is great! I love this place! The flaming dessert at the end of dinner was a show in itself. They do such a great job here! You will love it!

Omg they made my dream come true! They felt like family! Best day ever!

Looking for a stunning atmosphere at a wonderful price this is the place for you.

We found McGovern's online while viewing a wide variety of venues. We saw the grounds, the reviews, and the menu selections for McGovern's, and decided to call for more information, even though their location was 1 hour from our home town. Upon speaking with Ramona and recognizing how detailed she explained their services to be, we took the road trip. McGovern's was the only place we looked at live, as when we arrived we knew we had found the right place after viewing the grounds, as well, after speaking with Kathy who outlined every single step to putting together a successful wedding. McGovern's handled everything, except the usual to do list which Kathy outlined very thoroughly. She instructed us effortlessly from beginning to end, obviously due to her years of experience. Kathy also introduced us to our JP Joyce who also is very thorough, as well, someone who definitely loves what she does! Long story short, our wedding was beautiful, weather and all.

McGovern's surpassed all of our expectations on every level...professionalism, decorating of the grounds and reception room, the food (which kept coming and coming) was excellent, and the staff who served the food were so friendly and so attentive every step of the receptions.

Thank you McGoverns!

McGoverns on the Water is a true hidden gem. Kathy, Ramona and Joey will make any event you are planning the best your guests have ever seen. I has my wedding there recently and I wouldn't change anything about it. Our friends and family were so impressed with everything saying its the best wedding they've ever been to. Kathy is a doll and she really, really goes above and beyond. Their prices are more than fair for the service you get. Ramona is sweetheart and she always suggestions and ideas to offer. Joey is the man - he's where the party's at. The whole team works really hard and they are happy to be there. It really isn't all about business for them, it's an experience and they want everyone satisfied and wowed.

I had never been or heard of McGovern’s before starting to search for wedding venues. I can’t remember how exactly I found the website, but I remember seeing the gazebo over the water wanted to check them out. As soon as we got there, I was in love. After meeting with Kathy, I knew this is where I was going to get married. My Fiance wanted me to keep an open mind because this was the first place we had checked out. Kathy had let us customize a package within our budget. I hadn’t realized we could afford such an extravagant wedding! The pricing was perfect! Beat the other venues we had checked out by far!
Throughout the year that we were planning our wedding, we had several meetings with Kathy. She wanted to make sure that our wedding planning was going smoothly. She offered helpful suggestions and gave us great recommendations. Not only did we work with Kathy, but Ramona and Joyce were big helpers as well! We had a taste testing of the food and holy delicious! We thought they were kidding when they said no one will go home hungry!
The day of the wedding was amazing!! Kathy and the head waiter Joey went above and beyond to make our day so special. The ceremony went off without a hitch, even though it had been raining. My heart was set on having my ceremony outside in the gazebo and they were very accommodating to my wants. They quickly set out tents for our guests and gathered as many umbrellas as they could so my husband and I could have our dream wedding. After the ceremony, the cocktail hour started and the food was amazing! They had decorated the hall and placed all my DIY items and personal items just the way we had discussed in our meetings. Dinner service was great and the flaming dessert was a huge hit! Everyone was amazed at the presentation of the dessert. Our wedding was absolutely incredible, astounding, amazing, etc! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or superior staff!! Kathy, Ramona, Joey, and Joyce were awesome!

Made my wedding day perfect! SO much food! So much personal efforts! Anything that me, the bride, or anyone, if they needed anything, McGovern's was on top of it! Kathy knows how to put on a party! Unbelievably priced, so reasonable! Well done!

Kathy, Joey and her staff went beyond our expectations to make our wedding as beautiful as i could imagine. everyone loved our decor we picked out, the food!!! the cake and desserts. we had a great time and our family and friends are still talking about it!! i would highly recommend checking them out. you can get married on the grounds there too.

We had the most amazing wedding here. The attention to every little detail is priceless. Everyone was raving about the food and what a beautiful venue it was. The ceremony was like no other. I could not have asked for anything better. It was like a fairytale wedding.
