"The food was terrific!"
"The food was delicious and everyone raved about it."
"The food was wonderful."
"The food and drink were superb."
"The food tasted amazing."
"The food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were on point."
Cons:
"The truth is they only offer one vegetarian meal (stuffed pepper) and if you don't want that, they offer you more salad which they served as a starter."
"Top it off my wife came home feeling sick. Must have been that warm tuna tar tar."
"Pasta was way overdone, the eggplant was slimy, and the beef was tough as hell."
"Food was disappointing."
"The snapper was overcooked, tough and over salted, the green beans were undercooked and bland, and the potatoes tasted boxed."
"The food was terrible and how they didn't attempt to make up for it with no care or effort was terrible after the thousands of dollars spent."
"Multiple guests including myself came down with food poisoning that day and the next from the wedding food."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"Everyone at the Manor is professional and on-point."
"Carissa Morenci and Mercedes Lopez were exceptional."
"Service was excellent and if I didn't already book a reception hall for my wedding I'd give Pat Vizzoni & the Bridgewater Manor a call as I know they'd do a terrific job."
"The coordination by Emily, Adel, and the rest of the staff was exceptional, ensuring a seamless transition from the ceremony to the reception."
"The staff was very attentive and made sure my husband and I had food in our bellies and a drink in our hand."
"Mercedes and her team were AMAZING."
"The staff is beyond excellent."
Cons:
"Unfortunately, the wait staff spoke very little English."
"The staff didnt change the flowers on the ceremony chairs from the previous wedding (it was back to back ceremonies)."
"The staff weren't helpful as the groomsman had to ask for towels to wipe down chairs before the ceremony and the staff laughed at them and didn't help."
"They seemed a little short staffed because you could not get a waitress's attention."
"Mercedes my 'maitre d' was very unprofessional."
"Instead of BEING A MAITRE D she was just more concerned on the photographer."
"The service the night of was terrible."
Venue and Atmosphere
Pros:
"The Bridgewater Manor welcomes you with a gorgeous staircase upon entering, surrounded by a number of ballrooms."
"The rooms are always bright with great lighting."
"Let me also add that the Bridgewater Manor is stunning."
"Bridgewater Manor is one of the most beautiful venues I've been to."
"The venue is very pretty!"
"Every one of the spaces at Bridgewater Manor are stunning and each make such a statement!"
"The venue is amazing."
Cons:
"Kind of off the beaten path (not really easily accessible from 78 or 22)."
"Place is changing for the worse."
"Very confusing entrance location."
"Its totally outdated and when inquired if they are going to renovate with newer carpet decor they said no place was sold a few months ago and the new owners are more interested in bringing back the club scene it once was."
"Not everyone can stay out until midnight."
"Not every one is wearing masks. I don’t know if they do that on special request but that’s one thing to note."
"My only suggestion for anyone thinking of booking the Somerset Ballroom, just know the bar will be located in a separate room right outside of the reception space, and it kind of creates two different spaces for people to hang out."
