Merrill's on the Waterfront

ted on how nice it was to not be "stuck" at their table since there was plenty of standing/seating room by the bar, upstairs with games, outside, and in cocktail hour space, yet you were never far from anything. Merrill's has everything you could possibly need for a wedding. Our coordinator RJ was awesome and made sure everything was perfect. Wish we could do it again! RJ is amazing! A few months after the wedding we ran into a bit of a problem. Our photographer failed to tell us that our photos would be permanently deleted from the gallery after only 90 days, so we had no photos. I reach out to RJ to see if the staff took any pictures of the decorated venue and he sent back several of our professional photos that he saved. Such a life saver! If you're looking for a place that really takes care of you, it's Merrill's and RJ!

easant experience. These days, its difficult to find people in the industry who care and are eager to help, we feel so lucky to have found and worked with such an amazing staff! Things were straight forward and organized, responses were prompt, and the staff did everything in their power to execute to provide us a magical event! Shauna was so kind and had excellent attention to detail when we met with her in preparation for the event. Tyler was amazing day of event, he checked in throughout the entire night to make sure we were happy and things were going smooth. The staff working our event were also amazing. Coming from a type-A girl, you should absolutely trust these two! Thank you again Merrill's for providing us the event we always wanted, I will absolutely host events here in the future or recommend to others!

out the restaurant which is one of the options available to you. We utilized the 2nd floor for our ceremony (handicap accessible with an elevator). Lower bar area and outdoor area for our cocktail hour (2 steps below main floor) and the main floor for a seated dinner and dance floor. All of these spaces can be reserved separately as well. The thing that sold us on Merrill's was how beautiful the space was despite the cold pouring rain outside. The space is open with high ceilings and large windows overlooking the harbor. Not to mention hotel accommodations across the street and the cute downtown area of New Bedford, a 5 minute walk away. And as I mentioned before, handicap accessibility. Merrill's staff were also helpful and accommodating to all of the changes and re-writes that occurred due to the Covid pandemic. As we said, this venue is all inclusive and the food was incredible. It was difficult to make the choices for our menu. We absolutely recommend Merrill's to anyone having a wedding. It’s also just a great place for dinner too!

. Krystol was THE BEST, honestly phenomenal! She was so easy to work with, answers e-mails almost immediately and went above and beyond to make our wedding just what we dreamed of.

as beautiful and peaceful. The rates were extremely competitive, and virtually no minimum charge. We had less than 25 people. So for a smaller group, it's hard to beat this place and the quality was amazing. We worked directly with Krystol and she was incredible. Extremely responsive to emails and phone calls, and catered everything exactly to our specifications. The food was wonderful. Service at the restaurant was amazing. The appetizers never stopped, until the main course was served. We even had a few guests show up late, and they still made them a full course meal for no extra charge. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

was SO helpful, I really can’t say enough of how easy and carefree my night was all thanks to her!
