As a wedding guest, I'm going in with the assumption that all food was provided by The Oceanview…read more Our friends wanted to get married at The Oceanview, and they were so booked that the wedding ended up being a weekday event, beginning before sunset, when the sun was just drifting behind the trees. Talk about great timing for avoiding the possibility of any sunburns. This was just my second beach side wedding experience, so it is a very real risk. The wind was a silent participant, blowing the bride's veil as it wished, and then declining to blow when it would have been helpful. Nothing Oceanview could do about this. More of a warning to future brides with an eye to an outdoor wedding. The outdoor wedding ceremony space is covered in fake grass and faces the rocky beach. So it is safe for heels. But anyone planning a walk on the beach should be aware. Parking is along the beach side of the road as their across the street neighbor is a golf course that needs its own parking spots as well. Stairs lead to the lobby of The Oceanview, where a two stall ladies room resides. However, the indoor party space is all up on the second level, up a flight of stairs, where the cocktail hour was set up in a room to the left, down a couple of steps. The open bar at the end had printed drink menus which included mocktail options. The room also opened to an outdoor patio where smokers were welcomed with ashtrays. There was a boat of jumbo shrimp cocktail and shucked shellfish, and passed appetizers, of which the short rib quesadilla was my favorite. Later, doors opened to the space to the right, to expose a grand dining room. Everything looked nice. Indeed it is a pleasant setting for a wedding! Water and champagne toasts were already poured out, with one empty wine glass apiece for us to pour our choice of white or red. The champagne was a nice one. An assorted bread basket arrived warm with seasoned swirls of butter, followed shortly by the salad course. Which in our case was a tasty spinach salad with fresh sliced pear, goat cheese, dried cranberries and walnuts. My entree was short rib, served as two hearty slices of tender beef on a bed of pilaf, and 4 spears of asparagus. I later discovered an assortment of desserts displayed in the cocktail room along with self serve coffee and tea. Whole sliced cakes, along with mini cakes, cream puffs, cannoli, and cookies. The cake was tender, and perhaps was the same cake base as the wedding cake which was lastly served. Our drink glasses were cleared from the tables all too soon. It left me without water to drink when enjoying my slice of wedding cake that I retrieved from the corner under a screen with the wedded pair's names, and still dancing guests without a way to sooth their parched throats.

This venue is absolutely gorgeous and the DJ was great, had the dance floor going all night. Most important was the food. From the appetizers to the main food everything was exceptional. The first clue should have been there was not steak knife to cut filet mignon, you didn't need one. This was probably the best steak I have ever had. I wish I brought a doggy bag as I had too many appetizers which were also exceptional. The wedding planner Paige was on top of everything all night. She was exceptiona. She kept things on track all night. Too bad it went by way too fast. I would highly recommended this venue.

The ceremony was set up perfectly and beautifully. During cocktail hour our servers Stephanie and I believe Melissa was wonderful. they made sure my wedding party had food and drinks. Stephanie from the beginning was simply amazing! She had tissue on hand! She did everything she could to make that day amazing. The reception was even better. The food!!! O the food! The chicken was to die for! The tenderloin was wonderful. We had family style so everyone stuffed their faces! haha. Stephanie made sure that my husband and I eat our meals before anything! I was nervous before hand that we wouldn't be able to do so. My champagne glass was always full! The venue was absolutely beautiful! I don't think I can do enough praising! I wish it didn't end so quickly! Thank you everyone at DiBurro's for make a day to remember!!

You cannot put up any type of decorations on the walls though. Parking not the best, there is a small parking lot in the back, otherwise you can park on the street. Drink prices weren't bad either. Staff friendly. Bathrooms could be upgraded, kind of dingy. Also if I remember correctly, you can bring juice boxes for kids, but no sodas. I remember us having to buy any beverages aside from juice for the children. Plan to use this hall again this year Phone number for hall coordinator is 781-595-0384

We were looking for a local wedding venue and couldn't have been happier with Teresa's Hillview…read moreCountry Club in North Reading and their wedding coordinator, Sharon Shaugnessy. The function area had plenty of room for our 175 guests to mingle, with a large dance floor and a great spot for the DJ with his giant video screen. Their bartenders and serving staff were very professional, fun, and there was never a wait at the bar. There is a large deck overlooking the beautiful golf course and a side room that provided a nice place for our guests to enjoy the amazing appetizers, drinks, and music while we took our photos. Teresa's also provided a huge private area for the wedding party to relax and enjoy appetizers prior to being announced, and a safe place to store changes of clothes and other personal items. There was also plenty of parking and Teresa's provided an attendant as well. Sharon was easy to work with, was extremely supportive during the planning, and was in control and calm during the reception to ensure our day went as planned! We had some unique needs and special desires and Sharon was very accommodating. For example, we decided to have a dessert table in lieu of a wedding cake; we put our trust in Sharon to take care of that for us and she far exceeded every expectation! Our dessert bar was absolutely amazing and our guests raved about it! Additionally, she was so helpful with our request for food stations instead of a traditional sit down meal. The biggest hit...a mashed potato bar, with loads of toppings and served in martini glasses! Our guests couldn't get enough! Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be because of the planning and facility offered by Teresa's Hillview and Sharon Shaugnessy. If you are looking for a wedding venue in the North Reading area, we strongly recommend Teresa's and Sharon!

A reasonable price in comparison to other venues in the area and venue size. 3. Staff that is easy to work with and that is receptive to a ton of questions since we can usually be a bit needy. Well, after assessing this venue, I have to say that this place exceeds all of the above. The price for the venue is great, the venue itself is well maintained, the view of the water is beautiful, and the staff is incredibly easy to work with (Jackie and Bob were both phenomenal.) The baby shower we held here was a blast and our overall experience exceeded all of our expectations!
