Victoria is amazing to work with, and you can tell she loves her job and will do anything to make sure her couples' special day is perfect. Mezzanine has an expansive menu of handcrafted delectable options. We wanted a taco bar for dinner from day one, and Mezzanine offered an elevated taco bar that was wedding appropriate, and allowed us to make customizations along the way. Booking almost 2 years in advance, we also knew their traditional menu options were perfect if we changed our minds for a plated dinner. Their pricing is also very fair and allowed us to stay within our budget while also having an impressive spread. They are flexible and easy to work with and when COVID downsized our venue and list to the backyard, they didn't miss a beat. On the day of, the appetizers and taco bar were all delicious and the guests all raved about the food! The bartender service was great and kept drinks going all night. Their staff was friendly and service was top notch - they brought our wedding food dreams to life! I highly recommend Mezzanine to anyone who is looking for catering (and if I ever have an event in the future, I'm calling them). Stop searching, Mezzanine has it all, and will take such good care of you!

Their luncheon sandwiches were delicious and unique. Would recommend them and use them again!read more

Everything "d" said below pretty much outlines our experience with Lisa as well. She is so easy to…read morework with-- she makes every event personal and makes sure you're happy every step of the way. And she always seems excited to do so, which is really important. She planned our rehearsal dinner/cocktail party and I really had no idea what I wanted, but it turned out to be a stunning, classy event with amazing food and drinks. People still haven't stopped raving about it. Not only that, but when my wedding caterer bailed (and she wasn't even planning that event), I knew I could email her and she would have someone else on hand that we could use. Sure enough, we were able to track down an available caterer through her contacts, and the food at the wedding was flawless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone. I can't wait to see what she does next!

My husband and I were married on July 10, 2010. Searching for the venue was one of the hardest…read moredecisions, especially given all the varying requirements of each location. When we reached out to the One Hundred Club and spoke with the Director of Events, Lisa Sammons, she turned what was a difficult decision into one of the easiest. We were immediately impressed by her professionalism and warm demeanor and decided to have our reception at the club. After the location was finalized, Lisa unexpectedly volunteered to assist in finding area vendors. When planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to have a local theme. The search for florists and bakeries went from an impersonal Google search to specific recommendations from Lisa, none of which we would have been able to find on our. Her network and knowledge of vendors in the area allowed us to secure vendors providing exactly what we wanted at the price we wanted. The stress of searching for the right chairs, tablecloths, place cards and champagne was gone after we started working with Lisa. She continuously went above and beyond her duties to ensure our wedding reception went off without a hitch. We're convinced she even scheduled the perfect sunset after the summer storm. We would highly recommend Lisa to friends and family for all their event planning needs.

The bathrooms are clean but they could use more stalls. Parking is easy, although messy if it's raining. The acoustics aren't too bad if there is a DJ. The servers are all excellent, and they attempt to do silver service, meaning that they serve food simultaneously to each person at the table, etc. It's not silver service! The food is ok.

Beautiful In October we needed boutonnières for our wedding and needed to find a specific color rose for a center piece. We stopped in and met the owner and the team. They were so nice and professional. They took the time to ask us what we were looking for in our boutonnières and took our order. They also were able to find the roses we were looking for and had them ordered and delivered on time for our wedding. We asked if they could order holiday roping/garland for our house. They could, so we ordered it in time for our holiday decorations. They looked awesome and comparable pricing to other stores. We were so impressed with Westwind because they are all professional and offer great customer service. Prior to the holidays we received a beautiful display as a thank you and congratulations for our wedding. It was a wonderful, but not needed, gesture. We used it as our family dinner centerpiece. We are weeks after the delivery of the flowers and the roping and they are still looking great. Apologies for my delayed review. Please stop by and check out what Westwind Gardens has to offer. Thank you.

Long story short: Westwind Gardens delivered within two hours, called before they delivered a…read morebouquet with the flowers I requested. They left it on porch because both of my parents were contagious. How could you expect better service? Lisa answered the phone and was really sweet. After a tiny florist shop closed in South Berwick Maine I had very low expectations and doubted I could find a florist who could deliver a cheerful, fresh, and beautiful bouquet to my parents. If a loved one deserves amazing flowers and you are in a state far away, it is sad because you just want to bring them there yourself. Because I have sent flowers to South Berwick for the past twenty five years I have an understanding what I'd like to pay for the service. When the shop was in the same town, $50 seemed logical. This time I splurged for $75 because it is a little bit over a five mile drive from the shop to my parents. Don't get me wrong, I send flowers as often as needed and visit in person as often as I can afford! I live out of state now, and officially, "from away," as some Mainers might say. I'm grateful I have found a new florist who I can trust in a pinch.
