A family brunch was hosted by my daughter & SIL, in the East Room. There were 10 of us…read more Josh took very good care of us & was attentive to our needs. My son ordered a burger with just cheese, but it arrived with hollandaise sauce on it. By the time he got his burger, everyone had finished their meals. I feel a more efficient way to order a burger is to build your own, where you select the add ons: cheese, bacon, onion, Canadian bacon, tomato etc. If you have to charge more for a certain add on, then do so. The mimosas & the billinis were good & everyone enjoyed their entrees. It did seem as though we waited a long time for our entrees & the restaurant was not crowded at all, on a Saturday morning. Everyone enjoyed themselves so I assume we would all gladly return. The fake wisteria hanging up on the way in, seemed rather silly. Wisteria seldom blooms, LOL, so that was a dead giveaway.

I'm not sure where to start. I saw a few one star reviews and noticed that the accounts that are…read moreposting the one star reviews have only done the one review. Makes me wonder if it's a real account. When you come in the front doors the decor is historical and beautifully well kept. The guy at the front desk was great and well spoken. We get to the room and it's beautiful. Even has a four poster bed. Two couches and a coffee table. It has a nice bay window with a view of the garden. You can't compare this place with motel 6 so expect to pay a few extra dollars. I consider the price to be thrifty for what we received. We ventured over to the Tavern next door for a drink. Same decor as the main building. Excellent service at the Tavern. I got a hamburger and it was perfectly cooked. We had a great stay thank you for having us.

We visited for Valentine's dinner and had a really lovely experience overall…read more From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming. Our waitress was especially sweet, cheerful, and attentive throughout the evening. The owner even stopped by our table to check in and say hello, which was a nice personal touch you don't always see. Service was strong all around. The only small hiccup was that the glasses placed on our table by the host were not clean, but once service got going everything else was smooth and professional. The food was the star of the night. We shared a salad to start, then ordered the tomahawk steak with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus -- the steak was tender, flavorful, and cooked well. We also added the wild mushroom risotto on the side, which was rich and satisfying. Drinks were well made and not watered down, which we definitely appreciated. For dessert, we finished with the molten lava chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream -- a perfect sweet ending. The interior is clean and comfortable, though some of the furniture could use updating. That said, the friendly service and quality of the meal made for a very enjoyable Valentine's dinner. We would return. Special shout out to Kayla our server. She made our evening and first visit memorable and fun. Thank you Keith, owner, for touching our table. It was nice to meet you and we willbe back for more!

They were professional in the setup and service throughout the night and had drinks flowing quickly for our guests. We purchased the alcohol ourselves for the event and Kevin did a great job in understanding our drink preferences and providing a shopping list for drinks, mixers, garnishes and ice for the event (we had 140+ people). The bartenders also were judicious about not opening bottles of alcohol throughout the night that were not needed, making returning unopened alcohol and wine the next day easy to save us money on our drink budget. We had an overall great experience with the bartenders and would recommend them for your next event.

We hired PR bartending at recommendation of our venue and reading positive reviews for a wedding in October of 2023. Interacted directly with Kevin in the wedding planning phase who was pleasant and helpful. Kevin allowed us to modify services offered, determine what would align with our projected budget, promptly provided us updated quotes, and provided a purchase order. Overall very easy to work with in planning phase. There was one small pre-wedding issue in which PR Bartending changed addresses and did not notify us, resulting in our final check payment to be delivered to the prior address. We only learned of the address change when Kevin reached out regarding the missing payment, but he did NOT charge us a late fee. On the day of the wedding, all bar related items were organized/set up as per our contract and discussions. During our cocktail hour our guests notified me that bartending was not serving draft beer. Our day of coordinator was not notified of this problem (as if standard for vendors). Our contract with PR bartending did specifically state that WE were responsible for ensuring the setup and proper function of the kegerator. I identified myself to Kevin and attempted to work to identify the problem. Kevin, seemingly frustrated did not provide a clear answer as to if the kegerator was working properly and what the specific problem was as to why beer was not being served. I assigned two individuals familiar with kegs/draft lines/carbonation systems to troubleshoot the issue, they were able to remedy the problem (CO2 regulator needed adjustment) but it took them considerable time as Kevin was reluctant to physically move and let the in the space near the kegerator. While this was during a busy point in cocktail hour and the space was small, clear communication and a degree of flexibility from PR Bartending would have allowed quicker resolution. Later on that evening approximately 1 hour prior to the pre-determined conclusion of bartending service I went up the bar to obtain a drink for myself and my bride. Kevin recognized me and before I could ask for a drink immediately stated "I'm x amount short" and asked how I was going to pay the remainder of the balance of the tip jar (as per contract). I left the bar area to find my checkbook to write the remaining balance but was intercepted by several guests. When I returned, 30 minutes later a family member informed me that he covered the remaining balance as a wedding gift as the bartending was asking for the bride or groom to rectify the balance on the tip jar. Other than the terse interactions, our guests reported good service and well-made drinks. I was pleased to hear that our guests had better interactions than we did however, I would expect more cordial interactions from a wedding vendor with the bride and/or groom.

Jump Around is a typical indoor play area for children and consists of inflatable structures. It is…read morevery fairly priced at $7.50 per child for free play times. According to their site, there are a lot of free play block of time. Kids love it. The area is tucked into a small corner of the Bedford Sports Complex and has 4 structures. Needless to say, the kids have a blast. There is a small seating area for parents and for kids to take a break. This area is an imitation hardwood floor. It is very slippery for people not wearing their shoes. Most of the gym floor has a felt covered padding, but this sitting area is not and it is very slick to be wearing socks on. Not very good planning on that. After speaking with someone about it they stated that they were aware and looking into having something laid down. That would be a smart choice. Also in speaking with the staff member, I was informed that they use Armor-all on the slide to keep them slick! This to me is an extreme hazard. Armor-all is an automobile surface cleaner. Looking at the label it states that it is TOXIC!!!! Granted the kids aren't licking the slides as they go down the slides but their hands are all over the slides. Then after sliding they go have snacks and potentially getting the harmful chemicals on what they are eating. Below is from the armor-all website: Eye Contact- Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Skin Contact- Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent and water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Inhalation Ingestion- If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately. I personally don't think I will go there again until they fix these two major safety issues!

We had our wedding at Mayfair Farm in Harrisville (they are AMAZING) and he had never been to our venue before but adapted to the new setting like a pro. Before the wedding, we used his software to select the songs we wanted and found the system to be well organized and easy to use. At our wedding, Tom helped keep us on track time wise, provided ideas for a good flow of events, and worked well with our other wedding vendors. He was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with before and during our wedding. We found his services to be much more affordable than other DJs we looked and were happy we were able to hire a professional without feeling like we needed to cut back on other things that were important to us.

Our wedding planning was plagued…read morewith constantly changing COVID regulations and I was full of anxiety about how our big day would go. Allison and Sarah could not have been more comforting and proactive. Over email, phone, and video call, they put my mind at ease and I felt so prepared the day of my wedding, no matter what restrictions were in place. Allison could not have done a better job the day of. She built a great rapport with my family, bridal party, and the venue's event manager to ensure the day ran smoothly. She knew the schedule and set up like the back of her hand. When the timing of certain day-of activities changed last minute, she made sure to let me know of the changes and the night went on without issue. If it were not for COVID and my anxieties around how it would affect our wedding I likely would not have looked for an outside coordinator- our venue did provide one that began to work closely with us (and Allison) in the month or so before the wedding and I truly believe she would have done a comparable job in the day-of execution. But it's the long term commitment to the planning process that makes Without a Hitch special. And while our venue did not host many weddings during COVID, Without a Hitch planned so many, and had the experience and suggestions that made the wedding feel as normal as it possibly could. For any of my friends planning weddings at a less conventional venue or just want more support, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Without a Hitch, and more specifically Allison!
