    Loved Everything!

    We recently had our wedding at Raffael's and it was incredible! Terese is the best wedding coordinator-- very organized, personable, responsive, helpful. We worked with her for about a year and she set us up perfectly for the big day. Her staff were very helpful as well. It's a well-oiled machine over there! My groom and I were very taken care of the whole time, and Terese made sure the night went off without a hitch. Couldn't recommend Raffael's or Terese enough.

    Perfect Day!

    We were just married at Raffael's and could not be more happy with the venue and wedding coordinator Terese. During the planning process Terese was easy to work with, helpful, and responsive. Her genuine care for us was reflected in her accommodating and supportive responses to every issue that came up. During the wedding she was attentive and always seemed to be one step ahead of us and was able to solve any problems that came up before we even knew there was a problem. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and the food was incredible. We would highly recommend this venue!

    All around amazing!

    We looked at many wedding venues in the South Shore/Boston area and knew immediately when we entered South Shore Country Club, we would love it. The Hingham ballroom was stunning and we loved the outdoor tent for cocktail hour. Right from the start, Terese was fantastic about communicating with us and getting the planning started. We had to postpone our June 2020 wedding and she was SO flexible and patient with us as we navigated those complexities. When we were ready to start planning again for our June 2021 reception, there were still many uncertainties regarding Covid and Terese was so understanding and communicated any changes with us. People would ask us how we were able to be so...

    I can not think of a more beautiful place to get married in Hingham than Raffael's! The views, the décor, the FOOD! It was all incredible. The day of team was very helpful and Terese went above and beyond from our very first meeting to make sure everything went smoothly! She was quick to respond to emails and always very sweet. Raffael's was able to accommodate our wedding flawlessly and I would highly recommend them (and Terese) to anyone looking to host an event!

    I recently had my wedding ceremony and reception at the Hingham venue. Absolutely gorgeous views and modern rooms, not your typical banquet hall. The food was fantastic and the service exceeded my expectations. Terese is an amazing person and a true joy to work with. By far the best bargain for the quality.

    I would just like to say that I am more than thrilled with how my wedding day went at Raffael's. From day one working with Terese & Frank was an absolute pleasure!! My wedding went absolutely flawless and all of my vendors that I brought in said that they were amazing to work with as well. I consider them family now and I am thinking of what other party I can throw there, haha! I would do my wedding day all over again just to work with them.
    Also, the venue itself is beautiful, it was exactly what I wanted.

    An incredible experience!

    My husband and I had a beautiful wedding day. Terese and her team were incredible! Extremely organize and knowledgeable and made sure we understood every detail and price. We were never in the dark and she made the whole experience so easy! The food was delicious, the venue was perfect, especially the view of the golf course. I would highly recommend the south shore country club for your wedding day!

    Truly the best

    I cannot say enough about how grateful we are to have gone with Raffael’s for our wedding reception! We browsed a few venues on the South Shore, and it was immediately clear upon meeting Terese that we had found our place. Through the ups and downs of Covid, wedding planning, last-minute changes and adjustments, Terese was unbelievably accommodating, and made what could have been a really rough experience completely seamless and stress free. We had such an amazing reception, and we credit Terese with so much of that- we all loved working with her leading up to the big day and on the day of- Raffael’s worked to create an event that was both safe and incredibly fun. Cannot recommend them enough!! Thank you, Terese, and all of SSCC!

    Perfection!

    We could not have been more delighted with the setting, the service, the professionalism, the delicious food and beverage, or the ambiance of hosting our son's rehearsal dinner under The Pavilion Tent...the perfect open air location for these challenging times and also for any time you want to enjoy the beauty of the golf course and surrounding areas. To already have an elegant draped tent in place, with soft lighting and with sides that could have been closed in case of less than ideal weather but that, fortunately, we were able to keep open since it was a gorgeous fall evening, was both a nice surprise and a significant savings versus needing to rent a tent. Terese and Frank...

    I couldn’t be more happy with Raffael’s! Terese is absolutely the best and we are so lucky we found her. She made the wedding planing so much easier and she was there to answer all my questions. I finally have some time to write a review, my wedding was in October and it could’ve not been more perfect! Thank you Raffael’s!

    Having our wedding at Raffael's was the easiest and best decision we could have made for our wedding. From the first day we visited the venue they made us feel like royalty and like we were their only bride and groom. They worked with us on every detail and we were able to modify the package to make it perfect for us. The food tasting was just one amazing meal after another making it so hard to choose which meal would be perfect for us. To show their attention to detail every meal came with a beautiful orchid on it. Terese and Frank went above and beyond and I never had to wait more than 24 hours before someone...

    I cannot say enough about how happy we are that we chose to have our wedding at Raffles @ South Shore Country Club. From my very first meeting with event coordinator Terese Panetta I knew we were going to have our wedding reception here. The venue was just renovated and the Hingham Ballroom is absolutely gorgeous! The food is amazing and everyone was raving that it didn't taste like "wedding food" but was so delicious (we had statler chicken and prime rib with fingerling potatoes) We had a private tasting of all the food and had a difficult time choosing bc everything was so good. We also had signature cocktails and were able to try those out beforehand as...

    Their location in Walpole was absolutely amazing! From the attention to detail to the amazing staff. My wedding was perfect. Everything was flawless and elegant just like I wanted it. If you are looking for that high end wedding venue for your guests to be completely amazed but don't want to spend the ridiculous amount on a venue in the city. This is your place! My guests have been talking about this venue non-stop for 2 months now. I even had one of my guests who owns a high end place in Boston say that it was the most amazing wedding he has ever been to. I also work in a fine dining facility myself as do my managers...

    Wow! We had our wedding reception at the Hingham location (9/10/16) so we were fortunate to work with Terese! Terese was incredible from the very first time I called her until after our wedding. A month later after the wedding I am still getting compliments on how much our guests loved everything about the venue. The food (filet mignon) was incredible and the newly-remodeled room was beautiful, too.

    As an extra perk, we had an "after reception party" at the bowling alley on the premise. Our guests thought that was such a great idea and everyone had a great time.

    I think we had to book our date roughly 15 months ahead of time and we...

    Raffael's is absolutely a beautiful country club!!! Terese was there to answer all my questions and calm my fears. The food is OUTSTANDING!!! The Chef gets an A+++ on every dish my guests were pleasantly surprised that it didn't taste like "wedding food" but more like going to a restaurant. Raffael's in Hingham made my 25th Wedding Anniversary and all my dreams, wants and desires come true. THANK YOU!!!

    Ps. Will be planning my next event shortly

    Rafael's did an incredible job with our wedding! From the original booking date to the food tasting to the table linens to the wedding program to the rehearsal diner to the actual final Wedding day itself, Terese Panetta, the event planner, went above and beyond her professional duties to provide us with a stunning experience! I can truly say that we had a Fairytale wedding, and the entire time Terese was like a magical bird who gave complete direction and stayed by our sides making sure our every need was met! The pavilion tent and the Hingham Room were both so beautifully decorated and the Food was perfect.The owner himself, Elio, was even involved with details and planning of...

    We had our wedding at Raffael's on June 20th, 2015, and it was amazing! We got married on-site (ceremony outdoors) and then had the Reception inside. They surpassed all of my expectations, and delivered on everything. The food was outstanding, staff was extremely helpful and courteous, and even catered to specific people's food orders. Elio was the BEST, he was so helpful, kind, and always on time. Elio helped us very much the day before at the Rehearsal, and then the night of the wedding, he went above and beyond. People came up to me saying how great of a person he was. The food was fantastic - we had penne alla vodka as a first course before the...

    Almost a year later, we are still riding a wedding “high” from our daughter’s wedding reception at Raffael’s in Walpole, MA on July 5, 2014. We began our search for the “right” place in Oct. 2013 soon after she became engaged. I must preface this by saying I am probably one of the “pickiest” people around….details are very important to me, so I didn’t want to settle for anyplace. Raffael’s was top-notch from the moment we walked in until we drove away after the wedding ended. Working with Lynne and Tina was wonderful. My daughter was a long-distance bride, so they were attentive and responsive to all our emails, questions and ideas. The food was AMAZING!! Plentiful, fresh, presented...

    We had our June 6, 2015 wedding reception at Raffael's at South Shore Country Club. We could not be happier that we chose this venue for our wedding. The staff at this venue exceeded any and all expectations we had for our wedding. Throughout the entire process Terese was AMAZING. I knew I could always reach out to her with anything- and she was always so responsive and thorough. At one point I was stuck on how to decorate certain areas, and all I had to do was ask and she'd give me so many different creative ideas. She put together all of our lantern beach themed centerpieces, and decorated the entire venue with the decorations we provided better...

    I recently just had my wedding at Raffael's this past April. Everything about Rafael's was classy and professional. We purchased the Raffaels Package which includes the center pieces, invitations, and cake. All of vendors that Raffaels partners with are also top notch and were great to work with. Lynne, Tina and Joe were all a privilege to work with. My husband and I greatly appreciated all of the little things that they all did that ultimately made our day so memorable. We were blown away by how beautiful the room looked all set up with the linens and flowers - it was breathtaking! Beyond that, the staff at Raffaels was beyond accommodating and helpful. Overall, Rafael's level of customer...

    I recently had my wedding at Raffaels on May 3rd. Raffaels was amazing!! Tina and Lynne were there every step of the way to answer my (many) questions on the wedding. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the service was great.We received SO MANY compliments on the food (including the hors d'eourves). We selected a package that also included many items such as the centerpieces and the invitations-both of which were stunning. I would highly recommend Raffaels!
