We discovered SBGC when looking for "all inclusive wedding venues" near our hometown. We were looking for a venue that had natural lighting and wouldn't require a bunch of lighting and draping in order to look like a wedding versus a conference... or other type of event. We also were looking for an all-inclusive package to make things simpler for us; we were interested in having a great day- not an extremely overdone and expensive day.
While SBGC checked the boxes for all the things listed above, what really sold us on Seven Bridges was Roisin, the event coordinator (aka "director of banquet sales"). Roisin is warm, honest, flexible, accommodating, always responds to emails quickly and kindly, and will provide honest and helpful advice during the wedding planning process. Seven Bridges worked with us to create our own menu and customize our wedding package to meet our wants, needs, and budget. We felt extremely comfortable booking with SBGC because Roisin made sure all costs and fees were listed and explained AND ensured there were no surprise fees. Roisin even provided an estimate for us before we booked, as well as shared a budgeting spreadsheet with us later in the planning process. The venue is unique in that there are 3 rooms that can be open or closed off, which we had some worries about since the dance floor is in a different space than the dining area, but this set-up is actually very optimal for guests. It allows guests to step away from the loud music and socialize during the dancing portion of the evening without being totally separated from the event.
Throughout the wedding planning process, Roisin worked with us to select our menu items, to organize and select vendors, make decisions about decor, and offered to help with any and all things wedding related. Roisin even jumped on a call with me to make sure our day-of schedule for the DJ made sense and was possible for the team to implement.
Since we had a customized menu, we had our own private tasting which was fantastic (and left us very full!) and allowed us to make some final adjustments to the menu. During this time, we also met with Roisin to make final decisions about decor and set-up for the wedding. Roisin provided advice and suggestions for all the items we weren't really sure about, which was very helpful. She was patient, efficient, and clearly very knowledgeable about weddings at SBGC.
On our wedding day, the venue was set-up exactly as requested. The staff were PHENOMENAL!! They ensured the wedding party was fed and had drinks throughout the dinner service. They were very kind and friendly with all of the guests. Additionally, the staff worked well with the DJ to coordinate the schedule during the dinner service. Dinner was served efficiently and the food was great- we had many compliments from our guests.
From start to finish, we had an exceptional experience with the team at SBGC and would recommend anyone and everyone host events there! The venue is beautiful and requires minimal to no additional decor, the staff are amazing, and the food is fantastic. What more could you want?
Roisin, thank you SO much for being such an awesome human and being phenomenal at your job! We appreciated your help throughout the stressful and overwhelming wedding process!
