Alpine Country Club

Bonnie, and her whole team were wonderful. Many guests of ours commented how generous the portions of food were along with how delicious it was.

ith the FOOD!

oyed during part of the process so Shawna went out of her way to have a private tasting for us when he finally came home. It was so nice that he was able to be part of the process and feel so included. Shawna was also really knowledgeable in our request for a fallen soldier tribute table. She knew exactly how the table was too be set which was really nice to know since it meant so much to us. She was very meticulous on the details and made sure everything was prepared and in line with our requests. She worked around our crazy schedules and was very easy to get in contact with when we had questions. On that day Shawna was personally there for all of the important events to make sure everything went according to plan. The weather was beautiful which definitely helped too. She even escorted my husband and I out to the middle of the golf course with our photographer for some more beautiful photos on their property. During cocktail hour I had escaped to the bridal room as I wasn't feeling too well. Shawna personally sat with me for a bit, brought me ginger ale and has the wait staff bring in all of my appetizers so I didn't miss out on anything. She kept us on schedule and worked closely with the DJ to keep the traditional pieces of the night rolling right along. The venue itself was very open and accommodating to our guests - the ballroom recently had all new sheers and drapery which was beautiful and made for amazing photos. The bar was large enough for my guests and the bartenders were working so hard that my guests never had to wait for their drinks. Overall the venue was well kept and maintained. We chose to have our ceremony onsite - the only downside tot he garden ceremony is it is right near the parking lot so someone's car alarm interrupted my husband's vows which was a bummer and a lot of our photos have cars in the background, but we knew that was going to happen. Bonnie was our lead waitress for the night, making sure my husband and I had everything we needed. She was such a wonderful person and I just loved talking with her. The food...absolutely incredible!! Matt, the head chef, is definitely amazing at what he does developing the menu and working with his back of the house team to ensure the standards are high. The food was so delicious and the portions are not typical wedding portions, but instead a nice full meal. You definitely get what you are paying for with the plated meals. In addition, we did the ice cream sundae bar (which they were happy to accommodate our flavor requests) and late night snacks which our guests loved. Overall we are so happy we chose Alpine Country Club for our venue. Shawna, Bonnie and their team were absolutely wonderful and so accommodating to our needs and requests. The venue was beautiful and made for some great pictures we will love forever. I highly recommend booking your wedding with Alpine.

uests raved about the beauty, the service, and how great the food was! If we could give this venue 10 stars we would!

minded if we also got married there. Unfortunately, after signing up with Alpine we went through 5 wedding coordinators and it was very frustrating. In the end the wedding turned out amazing, it was a great day and the service staff at the wedding we awesome. Our guests are still raving over the food.

uggestions to us that were greatly appreciated. Shawna was always prompt in responding to emails and always available to meet. She was accomodating and also helpful at the end when we began getting nervous. Shawna met with us and hosted our rehearsal the week of our wedding despite being sick herself. She helped us set up things before the rehearsal which was not required of her. The venue was beautiful and our guests commented on this several times. I heard from many guests that the food was wonderful, and what I had myself was too! The staff the day of the wedding were great in helping us take photos (Shawna suggested some great spots) and made sure that the groom and I had drinks when we needed them, etc. Overall, everything was a success!

ole process. She is attentive, will answer your phone call or email within an appropriate amount of time if you have any questions. She is enthusiastic and shows a great passion for the weddings she organizes. You don’t need a wedding planner when you have her. Make sure To check out Alpine Country Club for your wedding.

if we were her own. She is wonderful to work with and truly a joy to be around.She is prompt and professional. She worked around our busy schedule and did not complain once. The outdoor ceremony space was beautiful. The grounds are very well kept and are picture perfect for weddings,Shawna made sure our photographer got the perfect shots. My guests let us know that cocktail hour was a success. They all raved about the food! I love the setup of the cocktail space. There’s a spot for everything! The reception hall space is one of the main reasons we choose Alpine Country Club for our special day. The chandeliers are stunning,the dance floor is huge! Even with 240 guests there was still PLENTY of space to dance and it did not feel crowded AT All. The food was great and my guests loved it! We had an amazing time and highly recommend this venue for small or large weddings! Shawna was a dream to work with and made sure everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for a stress free venue and amazing food then this is it!!!

ator Shawna who did an absolutely amazing job at putting everything together and making sure everything ran smoothly that day. I cannot thank her enough for bringing our vision to life. We had envisioned this day for two years and seeing the ballroom for the first time better than we imagined it was a moment that we will remember forever. We were taken in a golf cart to the main sites on the golf course to take pictures by the pond and bridge, which all came out beautiful! The food was delicious and we keep getting many compliments on how delicious the food was all the way from cocktail hour to the main dishes. The wait staff was excellent especially our waitress Bonnie who made sure we were well taken care of the entire night! I would highly recommend The Alpine Country Club they will not disappoint!

est!

g our vision to life. She was super patient and accommodating as our plans would frequently change. The day of our wedding she treated us like royalty and made sure we remained comfortable at all times. Shawna, Bonnie & their entire team went above and beyond to insure that our guest enjoyed themselves. Everything looked absolutely beautiful.

e. Since March, I had four wedding coordinators, and other than Amanda..none knew how to do their job. The first person Jessica took us on a tour of the grounds for our ceremony.. and did not speak the entire time. Nichole was accommodating but left ubrubtly. Then there was Sheila, The coordinator I worked with up until my wedding day. Prior to my wedding day, I met with Sheila two times. During our first meeting, we reviewed many of the things I had put in place with Amanda and Nichole. However, during our meeting she stated some of the things I had planned could not be done. This obviously was upsetting and required me to run around more than I should of. I had to replan things such as favors. During this meeting, I explained that I wanted to take photos/first look prior to our ceremony. Sheila and I went over a time line. This was then confirmed again during our last meeting before my wedding. However the night before my wedding, she decided to tell me there would be no place for my bridal party. During every meeting, she said she could be a bitch if she had to. She also threatened to shut down my bar during our meetings and wedding day. This was an awful feeling. Sheila also did not give me an invoice with an itemized list of what we were purchasing until my final bill was due. My parents also asked to extend our open bar after my cocktail hour. Yet, the bartenders were charging people for drinks even though my parents had paid for an extra amount of time. Sheila also was very rude during the entire day. Not only calling my husband by the wrong name, she refused to take us to locations where we could take photos due to golfers. My photographer wanted to take some sunset pictures but Sheila said no. Every picture we took she was more concerned about the golfers. If that's the case, you shouldn't advertise that you have beautiful grounds for photos. During my last meeting she also decided to tell me that a 17 year old couldn't have chicken fingers and fries. I could only order chicken fingers with a potatoe and veg for 29.95. The night of the wedding, the 17 year old received a child's portion of chicken fingers. The list can go on with the many issues I have had. But the lack of communication, unprofessonalism, and rudeness did affect my wedding day. After our wedding, we were told to send an email to the owners explaining our concerns. Yet a week later, there was no response whatsoever. Very poor customer service. Especially when brides typically have friends who are also getting married... this will not be a place I recommend. My husband and I did have a great time as well as our guests. The ball room was beautiful, food was great, and the manager Ron was helpful. Thank god for my dj who kept things running smoothly all night. If had to choose a venue again. It wouldn't be Alpine.

Alpine to. The first and most important complaint is the wedding coordinator calling the groom "Christian" all night when that was not his name. The wedding coordinator was corrected multiple times that this was not the grooms name. After all the money and time put into this wedding, the least they could do was get his name right for their special day. The bridal party was also not catered to AT ALL. We arrived 2 hours before the ceremony and were told we could not sit at the bar because it was for members only. We had to stay in a closed off area as if we were intruding on them. The bride, groom and bridal party also were not fed for cocktail hour. We were not given any hor d'oeuvres in the bridal suite nor were they taken out to us while taking pictures. By the time we made it inside to cocktail hour, there was nothing left but a picked over antipasto bar for the bride and groom to enjoy. Also, we were told MULTIPLE times that we could not take our bridal party pictures in many places because of the golfers. Now, I understand that this is a country club. However, if there is no place for a wedding party to take pictures at their wedding venue then they should not do weddings. The wedding coordinator was also very unpleasant throughout the day. Not only did she threaten to shut the bar down multiple times during my sisters meetings, she threatened us the day of the wedding because the bridal party was not listening to her for DJ introduction. My mother overhead her say "I can be a bitch if I need to be" as she made the threat. We were not trying to be disrespectful, we were trying to coordinate our own entrance dances in attempt to have a fun and memorable wedding. Unfortunately there was much more than this that took place but I was not involved in those issues. I will say what food we did get was very good. Compliments to their chef. The bad heavily outweighed the good during my sisters wedding day, and for that reason I would not recommend this venue.

as inexplicably absent on the day of my wedding rehearsal (I did receive an apology but no explanation as to why something I scheduled months in advance didn't warrant a phone call or even an email). I was also disappointed in the brand new "Enchanted Woods" that was sold to us as a wonderful place to get married. There was nothing enchanted nor wooded about it, and I nearly fell out of the golf cart multiple times (something that some of my elderly and pregnant guests were expected to ride to get there). And because my coordinator was brand new, she was unaware or needed reminders of some of the things discussed with my original coordinator. I had been told by outsider gossip that the club was under new management, and that was the reason for so many kerfuffles and confusions...but it still bothered me that some things were not communicated properly or somehow misunderstood. On a positive, the wedding itself was very well received, the food was OUTSTANDING, and I can't praise the cooking staff enough for making our breakfast for dinner meal a reality. Our ambience in the garden was beautiful, also. That being said, 3.5-4 stars, mainly for the food and ambience.

ealistic with our expectations as we were booking with less than 5 months to go and our preferred date may not be available. I sent Amanda an email and set up a day to tour Alpine. I toured the venue on day where my husband was out of town for work. I met Amanda who was so very sweet, kind, and friendly! She has such a bubbly personality that not only makes her so very easy to talk to but is contagious as well! She then informed me that last minute, NYE had opened up. We had a great first meeting where Amanda went over deposit schedules, meals, and preferred vendors should we decide to book. She was more than gracious to hold the New Year’s Eve date for 2 weeks without a deposit so my husband could check it out once back in town. She also mentioned that should we book, any ceremony and room fees would be waived and we would only be responsible to hit a food minimum. This was the first and last venue I toured! I excitedly called my husband from the car and he said “book it”. Everything seemed to be falling into place perfectly! Amanda was amazing in the months leading up to the wedding. Always in constant communication via email or phone. She has such a talent, it’s almost surprising she doesn’t have her own wedding planning business! She had the best suggestions when it came to food, décor, and the overall pace of the evening! When discussing décor for the ballroom she advised us that we really didn’t need too much as the room would still be decorated for Christmas. We ended up with a 17 foot tall Christmas tree as the backdrop for our sweetheart table! We asked if it were possible to show the ball dropping in the ballroom itself. I mentioned reaching out to Conte Entertainment to see if together we could coordinate something. Amanda stepped in and she said she would take care of it and reach out for us! Our guests were blown away when shortly before midnight, a projection screen was brought into the ballroom and we were all able to countdown to midnight! The night of the wedding went so very perfectly! Amanda and Jared knew exactly when to bring out our late night food to keep the guests and party going! We decided to cover the bar tab for our wedding party so we had a few servers to take care of us all evening. They were amazing! We as well our as wedding party felt like royalty. Amanda made sure to ask what our favorite drinks were in order to have everything on hand for the wedding! We cannot say enough amazing things Amanda and the Alpine staff. She took a vision we had and helped execute it to perfection! It’s been about two months since our wedding and our friends and family still cannot stop talking about it! Amanda and staff truly understand that this day is such an important day and for many brides, a day they’ve been dreaming about for years. Her knowledge and expertise as well as her professionalism and true passion for her work truly shine through! We are seriously considering joining Alpine Country Club as members due to the phenomenal experience that was the most perfect night of our lives! To Amanda, Jared, and all of the staff at Alpine Country Club… THANK YOU!!!!!

hich streamlined our wedding planning. It also helps that she is unfailingly professional, kind and generous. On the day of the wedding, she added personal touches to our bridal suite and make sure that our reception hall looked flawless! We even forgot to indicate that we had a table #17, but she handled our error like a pro and made sure our guests were taken care of quickly and efficiently. Better than that, she made sure not to tell us that that had happened (we heard about it from our parents, lol), but it was already taken care of by then. Jared, who took over for Amanda later on in the evening, was also super professional and kind to us. He catered to our every need and always had a smile on his face. The food was fantastic (the guests were raving), the venue was breath-taking (everyone kept talking about how pretty the ballroom was) and the grounds for pictures were completely perfect. It was the BEST DAY EVER and I am SO GLAD that we chose to have our reception at Alpine. When you book your reception there, make sure you take the golf cart to the bridge for pictures. It was a special and hilarious adventure! We had SUCH A BLAST!!!

staff was so sweet. Amanda is amazing to work with. I will definitely recommend this place to any future brides !! Ps food is to die for !!!!

never missed any details! Everything that day ran on time and pefect.The service from them was outstanding. For cocktail hour we did the Tuscan Antipasto Display and it was the hit of the wedding! Everyone is still raving about how delicious and how much food came with it! I would recommend that to any bride who is having a cocktail hour, its better then passed around appetizers. And they kept it full at all times. The main course was delicious and served perfectly. There was no long waiting periods between the first and second courses and the main course. Overall, we had an amazing experience with Alpine and would definitely recommend them to any bride!

th Alpine. For the two years leading up to my wedding, I dealt exclusively with Liane McDonnell, their Director of Sales and Marketing. "Fantastic" does not even begin to describe Liane. She is on her A-game 24/7 and does not miss a thing. She made planning this wedding SO easy and stress-free. She is super responsive to emails (no matter how many you send her) and is so organized with all of your plans and requests that I didn't have to worry about a thing. Even though she deals with countless weddings, she makes you feel like you're her #1. It's worth going with Alpine just so you can have a super-competent person like her handle one of the most important days of your life. She could probably run the country if she wanted to. On the day of my wedding, Liane was out of the office so we dealt with Jarad for the day. He was just as amazing as Liane, he had a great and professional personality and calmly guided us through our day. He also didn't miss a thing, he knew our wishes for the day and our overall gameplan like the back of his hand and would just pop up here and there and happily say "time for your cake" ..."time for this..". He also saw to it that our gifts were well-secured and that we left Alpine with every item we walked in with (toasting flutes, leftover candy, the top tier of our wedding cake, etc.) It's so important to have people like Liane and Jarad involved in your wedding planning process because when you're being pulled in a million different directions and are distracted and have had a few glasses of wine you can rest easy knowing that your day will be carried out according plan because of the hugely capable people at the venue. I literally cannot say enough good things about the staff - service at its best. Now for the actual venue - Alpine is absolutely beautiful and pictures just don't do it justice...gorgeous ballroom, gorgeous chandelier, gorgeous bar, gorgeous grounds. Its very impressive to guests, beautiful for pictures (Kristen Conte photography A+++++) and has a layout conducive to having a great wedding. At one point during my wedding, we had a conga line going around the ballroom, out around the bar and weaving back into the ballroom. Great acoustics for live music as well (Nancy Paolino and the Black Tie Band HIGHLY recommended). The food is outstanding - Alpine is highly-regarded as having the best food in the state of RI and it certainly lived up to expectations. Our guests raved about the table of Italian delicacies we had during cocktail hour, as well as all the rest of the food. This venue has it all and I know my wedding would not have been the success and blast that it was if I had had it anywhere else. Do your due diligence and make sure you check out Alpine and you will see for yourself!!

d into ACC I fell in love with the reception hall. Emailing and scheduling a meeting with Liane was wonderful - she is ridiculously sweet, friendly and professional all at the same time. It was a pleasure working with her, she made the entire planning process enjoyable and fun even when I found myself getting nervous. She was always available via email or phone if I had any questions and always responded right away. This was the only venue I visited where I felt welcomed and that made me excited about the big day. All others I visited seemed too blunt and simply said this is what we offer, take it or leave it. Besides the pleasure of working with Liane, the entire staff at Alpine that worked with us on the day itself was wonderful. Everything flowed great and they made it so I could completely enjoy our wedding and they took care of everything. The grounds were beautiful and the amount of space you have is great. I always feel crammed at weddings during the cocktail hour but ACC has an entirely separate lounge and bar area that your guests can hang out in, and this area also remains open to guests after the ballroom opens so it's just added space! The rooms and entrance that are used for your wedding are only accessible to you and your guests. You don't have to share a lobby, restrooms or any other area with guests from other events. Your wedding is entirely private :) I can't say enough about how great Alpine was, I definitely recommend it to any and everyone!

made sure everything went off without a hitch! Even some small confusions that we had regarding chair set-up at the ceremony were handled quickly! The day ran incredibly smoothly and we have had rave reviews from everyone! We never had to worry about a thing! They literally pull out all the stops for you. The food was amazing (as tested in our food tasting a few months before the big day!) and a huge success! During cocktail hour, they brought hors d'eoerves out to the bridal party while we were doing pictures and also offered my husband and I snacks while I was being bustled up! They make sure all of your final details are taken care of and guide you through the process of preparing your reception with lots of references and notes to help even the most stressed out bride! To our surprise they also started offering uplighting, which was huge and definitely added to the already lovely and elegant decor! We illuminated the back wall behind our sweetheart table in light blue and it was spectacular! Alpine Country Club and their staff will blow your mind! It was beautiful and professionally handled by a rock-star crew and we could not have asked for more! Thank you for making our wedding day magical! :)

l.

y cater to all of your needs and are always willing to answer any questions you may have during in the planning process. They really focus on service and making sure everything goes smoothly. We appreciated all of the attention to detail and the hard work of the staff. It is very clear why Alpine has such a great reputation, because they do not disappoint. They listen closely and are thoughtful with little details here and there. They catered to us throughout the day and made it such a wonderful time. Highly recommend. They do not disappoint!!!!

very impressed by her. The day of the wedding, Liane greeted my husband and I and then Mike & Nick were in charge for the rest of the night. Mike was on top of everything. My husband and I wanted to get all the “formality” out of the way so we have more time to dance and have fun. He walked us through everything and there were no gaps everything ran perfectly. Nick was great as well. During the planning process my father wanted a special liqueur for the wedding that alpine didn’t have. Nick went out and got this liqueur just for my wedding. That night any time I needed either Nick or Mike they were right there. The food was outstanding and the dessert room was definitely the highlight of the night. I got so many compliments from my guests on the dessert room (thanks Liane for suggesting this).

as exactly as we wanted! The ballroom is stunning & the bar/cocktail area gave our guest plenty of seating and room to mingle. I loved the way the ballroom was setup so that all my guest could see the major events of the evening from their seats. After looking at many venues, Alpine just had everything we needed at a reasonable cost compared to other venues! You could go as simple or elaborate as you wanted. Lots of excellent choices to make your evening all you want and more! I can't thank Liane, Nick, mike, & the staff enough for all they did to make our special day go as smoothly as it did!! Jess & Raynor 6-8-2013

ay, Mike and the entire staff at Alpine were AMAZING. My husband, parents and I did not go 5 minutes without the staff making sure we had everything we needed or wanted. They went above and beyond anything I could have expected. I did not have to worry about a single detail the day of my wedding. The food was delicious especially the appetizers during the cocktail hour.

dule, she fully answered each and every one of our questions, and gave her undivided attention to every detail. She and her team went above and beyond on the day of our wedding, making sure all of our guests were comfortable and that our day proceed precisely as planned. I highly recommend Alpine Country club for your next event.

d was excellant!!!!

mmend this place for your wedding

your going to stress on all of the small stuff, But with Liane & Nick, your wedding will be perfect! I had accidentally messed up some of the seating arrangements (oops) and Nick assured me that everything would be perfect and it was! Everyone kept telling me how amazing the food and waitstaff were! Looking back, i Know i made the right choice !

one point. Luckily everything worked out. The venue itself was amazing. The room looked better than I ever could have imagined it, and was set up exactly like we had planned. For a fairly affordable price, we were able to have plenty of food and drinks for our guests, and everyone raved about the food. The only downside was I felt at one point that I was spoken to very rudely by Nick, the day of coordinator, during the reception, when I didn't want to move a video we were playing until after dinner. Nick gave a huge attitude and stomped away, and then I never heard from him again the rest of the night.

definitely recommend the alpine country club!

site. We especially want to thank Nick the clubhouse manager. Almost two month's later I still get compliments about how wonderful and helpful Nick was. From assuring guests have everything they need and are comfortable, to getting the bridal party anything they needed as well. He really is a special person. He's caring and attentive as if you've known him for years and not as if he is bored having done thousands of weddings and functions. He really helped set the tone for an absolutely perfect day!

nyone!

especially happy that everything was set up exactly the way I wanted it. I would recommend Alpine to all of my friends and family.
