Bottino

The people - Devon & Sydney were a delight to work with. They were responsive, on top of things, and gracious throughout the process. Also, they offered suggestions based on what they saw worked/didn't work at other weddings, which was helpful in moments where we were undecided. They were on site during the event and made you feel like your event mattered. I would happily host with Bottino again and would request that they run point because it was a delight to work with them. The logistics - having both the ceremony & reception on site made it easy for everyone. I had guests come up to say how much they liked being in one spot. The modest fee to do the ceremony there was well worth it, esp. if you have no patience for coordinating buses from another location! The ceremony with the brick wall & ivy as the backdrop looked stunning in our photos (though it will make the aisle a little smaller). And as soon as we walked down the aisle, the party got underway so it didn't feel like there was any lost time on a day that already felt sped up. Also, they offered recommendations for several florists who previously did events at Bottino, and we ended up using one of them (again, easy logistics!) and because she knew the space, we were thrilled with how she worked to transform it. The food - we cared a great deal about feeding our guests and serving delicious food and drinks at our wedding. We are delighted to say that we had multiple people come up to us both during the evening and afterwards to comment on how much they enjoyed their meal.  The steak and branzino entrees in particular were called out as being "perfectly cooked". As someone who has a food allergy, I was most appreciative that they made sure that a plate of appetizers for me specifically so I ate something during cocktail hour. And they allowed you to do a few specialty drinks to have some ready to go and passed around post-ceremony to go to help reduce lines at the bar.  You could pick anything from the drink menu, so we had one wine, one beer, one cocktail that we thought would be well received across the guests for no extra cost.

We used Bottino for our wedding ceremony and reception Jan 25, 2025. We were lucky enough to get to use the main room for our reception, the garden lit so beautifully with the stars and lights from outside for our ceremony, and the "pool room" for our reception. Everything from the patience and guidance in planning, a special nod to Devon on that, the cocktails, food, service, staff, and general ambience, made it special for us and our guests. Many of whom commented on what a beautiful wedding we had. Bottino played a major role in that and we would highly recommend to others.
