We had a Farewell Celebration for a Beloved Coworker. Decor was beautiful . There was a Wedding next door - we never heard them ; nor them hearing us. The soundproofing was great ! Food was sooo delicious and Huge portions. I bsrely ate a 1/3 of my entree ( so much food beforehand). I requested it to be wrapped . As the waiter was getting me a container ; another grabbed my plate and piled dirty plates atop it. I did not make a scene. Other than that guy; Staff were very sweet and jovial. A most pleasant surprise ! 😊🍷
My daughter had her wedding at the Coral house on June 4th. People are still calling me and raving about the food and fun they had. Laurie, Frank and Melissa were with us every step of the way, I was so impressed by their attentiveness and suggestions that I booked my daughters Bridal Shower Brunch there as well. My daughter wanted a Gilmore Girls Shower. Laurie and Frank nailed it!! The shower was amazing. I cried when I saw the
room! I couldn't have planned it better myself!! As for the wedding- from the minute we entered the venue we were treated like royalty. The bridal suite was amazing. Our every need was attended to. The food and drinks were available as soon as we arrived. The ceremony by the lake was beautiful. The cocktail party on the Rooftop was stunning. We has so much food that most of our guests thought that was the dinner! I recommend you have the Peter's Clam Bar option at your cocktail hour. Another favorite was the Raynor's Chicken. The DJ was amazing. He was one of the house DJ's. I also recommend you use the house photographer. He was very unobtrusive allowing the Bride and Groom to enjoy their wedding. I really cannot find one thing to complain about. The maître d, wait staff and bartenders were all present making sure all guests were well taken care of. The room looked beautiful, the food was delicious and with Laurie, Frank and Melissa you do not need to hire a wedding planner. They walked us through the entire process and were always available to answer our questions. We will absolutely have another event at The Coral House!!
Warning to any future bride and groom looking to get married, stay clear of the Coral House!! Just recently had my wedding here and it was absolutely just straight out disappointing. My family has used this venue in the past for weddings and it used to be good, but recently it has been absolutely horrible. As a bride you never want to think about your wedding day being anything but perfect, although unfortunately the coral house ruined my wedding day, so if you do not want yours ruined as well do not ever book with any of their locations!! To start off we arrived to the bridal suite and had to FIND the maitre d. He was no where to be found all night. I met him literally once and never saw him again the whole night. The bridal suite had no hot hors d'oeuvres like we payed for and the bathroom did not even have any paper towels or hand dryer. After asking the front desk and many other staff members multiple times for something (anything) to dry our hands with they finally brought down paper towels after cocktail hour already began. During cocktail hour myself and my husband asked several times if the AC could be raised because every guest was complaining and literally dripping in sweat. Needless to say the Ac was never raised throughout the night, even though we were told it was. Throughout the reception we were also told our bridal suite with all of our personal belongings was "closed" and that we were not allowed down stairs and could not access the suite. This was infuriating as all of our envelopes with cash were located in the bridal suite. When I asked why myself and my bridal party couldnt access the room we were simply told "it was closed off"... I was then told to use one of the main bathrooms that all the other guests were using. Try squeezing into a regular sized stalls with a ball room wedding gown on. During the reception once again we never saw the maître d' or bridal attendant all night. Our guests and photographer were actually serving myself and my husband drinks from the bar because they felt so bad that we never even got offered a drink. Towards the end of the night at one point I went up to the bar to get myself a drink and the bar tender had her head down buried in her phone and I actually had to say "hello" to get her attention. After asking for a drink I was very rudely served with an attitude. Lastly one of the things that truly upset me was at the end of the night when my husband and family were cleaning up the maître d' and every staff member stood in a corner and watched us clean everything up and haul everything out to our cars ourselves. Not once did they offer any assistance. I was lifting heavy rubbermaid boxes in a 3000 dollar wedding gown in the rain and not one staff member thought to offer any assistance. I will never be using this venue again, and if you don't want your wedding day ruined do not use them either !!!! After the wedding I contacted my banquet manager Laurie (who constantly purposely ignores calls) and was pretty much told "well your not getting any type of compensation". Although I was never looking for compensation anyway, I just wanted to express my sadness and disappointment in the locations service and the management was just as horrible as the staff. Management and the owners do not care about anything besides making money. It is truly devastating to spend thousands of dollars on your one special day and be treated so horribly!
My husband and I got married here in September 2021. We did a brunch wedding and it was everything we could’ve ever dreamed of. Laurie is an angel and was extremely helpful and reliable through every step of the planning process. The ceremony and reception rooms were set up beautifully, the food was great, and the staff was attentive and kind. Our guests all had a wonderful time, so did we! Thank you for everything you’ve done for us, Laurie (and the Coral House team!). We are so grateful and we will remember this day fondly forever.
Very bad business practice. You know the world is going through a pandemic and you know that you cannot perform our wedding 9/26/20 because of the State mandate and people in fear of large gathering but you cannot return our deposit after we notified you that we not using your facility due to what i stated above. You are a thief and a crook. You are not the only one In need of money. I’m sure we are not the only one feels this way. People has legal rights and the state mandate and covid-19 is our backing.
The staff was very attentive and was very helpful through out the entire night
The warmth, attentiveness, and professional quality of the Coral House team are simply unmatched. Laurie, Nancy, and the rest of their staff were so sweet & wonderful to work with during my wedding and I had an amazing time along with my friends and family. The food & bar options were a hit! Many compliments to the catering staff. The premises are kept immaculate, with beautiful scenery and these GORGEOUS skylights and indoor lighting. Not to mention: a lake, gazebo, rooftop terrace, elevator, and all those little details that make your photographer happy. Definitely let Coral House know what you would like for your event and they will make your vision happen! Highly recommend for their professionalism, location and attention to details.
We had our wedding at Coral House this past Saturday (9.21.19) and I must say that from our very 1st visit, the staff was super warm, friendly, welcoming, etc. They were absolutely great in every way!! Frank, you were the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so happy that we chose Coral House. The food was delicious, the decor was beautiful, our maitre d' Nancy was the greatest as was Orlando. DREAM EVENTS is a must use!!! The center pieces and photo booth were to die for. Love, love, love this place!!!!! Highly recommend.
We just had our wedding at Coral House this past Friday evening and it was AMAZING! The Venus is beautiful, the grounds are beautiful and our wedding coordinator, Daisy was always 10 steps ahead. We could not have asked for a better setting for the best day of our lives! I highly recommend this venue!
Our wedding was perfect thanks to the staff at the Coral House. The guests loved the food, the banquet managers were friendly and helpful. They know their business well and were patient when I would call with questions. Our Bridal Attendant was on point and communicative. She was always there when she was needed. We chose the Coral House for our wedding because of the spacious Americana room, rooftop terrace, beautifully landscaped pond area, and the variety of food options available. We originally wanted to use the roof for cocktails, but we had to make a day-of weather call. Having the cocktails in the basement wasn't a bad option though because it had been newly updated, had comfy couches, and was close to the bathrooms and the bridal suite. In all, for being half the budget (as venue and food often are for weddings) it was the perfect choice.
Just amazing, it's a beautiful place my Niece had her reception in The Nantucket Deck food was awesome decor was perfect .We all had so much fun, they had a photo booth, and DJ from Dream events.
We just were at a wedding and the room was beautiful but that's where it ends. Food was horrible, the drinks were terrible and the staff was minimal and not very knowledgeable. I feel bad that my friend wasted her money on this place not one plate was eaten.
The Coral House made our perfect day, even more perfect. 2 months later and everyone is still talking about how amazing it was! We felt so cared for from start to finish. The serving staff was absolutely wonderful and the food was so good!
Would definitely recommend it to anyone getting married.
food was horrible and so was the food service ....our server didn't even speak english or know anything about the food being served. we also sat at a table of ten with 3 broken chairs.
We had our wedding here last month. We are so happy we choose this venue. Everything was perfect! Everyone there did an amazing job. They made sure we had everything we needed all night. The center pieces offered were beautiful and the cake was delicious and beautiful! The food was so good, and they made us good drinks all night. We highly recommend this venue they charge a fair price and offer you so much. Thank you Coral House!
This place is absolutely amazing!! My best friend just got married, and I was one of the bridesmaids at her wedding. WOW. The bridal suite was to DIE for!!! It was so beautiful and so spacious, perfect for this occasion. The staff was absolutely attentive during the entire event, and made sure everyone had everything they needed and were having a good time, and were very friendly and personable as well. The food was absolutely amazing as well! We had tons of options to choose from from the menu. So fresh and has ton of flavor. The whole venue was also decorated spectacularly!! Her wedding looked flawless and everyone there was in awe of how amazing it turned out. I would totally recommend this place for any event you're throwing. Simply phenomenal!!!
Beautiful place
Needs better management, its the little details that matter.
Bridal suite wasn't ready when i got there , after it wasn't so private it was used by bride and sweet 16 child and mother at the same time .
Wedding cake was leaning since it was left to close to fireplace , flowers where not placed on cake till after i complained !!
One of my center pieces was dropped by staff which left one table incomplete .
i must say i was disappointed
I got married at the Coral House last year & it was genuinely the best day of my life. from the beautiful renovations to the amazing staff .. I couldnt have asked for more. Our banquet manager, Laurie made sure everything went smoothly and flawlessly & our maitre'd Racquel was amazing!! The food was delicious and my guests went home very happy ... it was the perfect day!!
I am so glad I chose to have my wedding reception at the Coral House. Laurie was great as the banquet manager. The staff was amazing and so attentive, the food was great, and the bridal suite was absolutely gorgeous. My guests also had a great time. My reception exceeded my expectations.
The Coral House was the only venue my husband and I looked at. Our reception was held in the Americana Ballroom, overlooking the lake. Big, beautiful windows lined the back wall, which is what I fell in love with in the first place! The service was amazing. Our banquet manager was available to answer any of our questions and address any of our concerns. When we arrived at the venue on our big day, I was so happy to see how beautiful our tables and favors were set up. Our maitre d' was waiting for us at the front door and made sure we had everything we needed. Our cake and our centerpieces were included in our price. Not to mention, this all came with an extremely reasonable price! We were beyond happy with our experience at the Coral House and I highly recommend it!
5 stars are just not enough! I just had my wedding ceremony & reception at The Coral House and I am at a loss for words to describe how wonderful they were. From the very beginning when we first met with our awesome banquet manager Laurie last year up until the very last minute, they catered to our every need. The day of, my Maitre'D Veronica and bridal attendant Jasmine were nothing short of amazing! Everywhere I was, there they were with huge smiles, checking up on me, asking whether I needed anything and making sure that everything ran smoothly. The outside grounds made for a breathtaking scenery for the ceremony and EVERYONE has been reaching out to us commenting on how great the food was! I am so glad we chose Coral House as our wedding venue!
Awesome!
We got married at the Coral House on June 6, 2014. My coordinator, Frank, was extremely helpful and wonderful to work with, the food was excellent, the look and feel of our room (Americana Room) was amazing and the outdoor setting of our ceremony was breath taking. Most of all, our maître D, Victoria, was outstanding! She took excellent care of us the ENTIRE time. I would highly recommend this venue because the price was not out of the ballpark and the quality of the food and service was great!
Coral house was a perfect venue for our wedding reception. We had a perfect bridal suite to use to get ready and the food at the cocktail and dinner was amazing. Everyone had a great time, enjoyed the food and commented on how beautiful the venue was.
Our wedding turned out amazing! Linda at the Coral House did a great job of everything, even if she wasn't the most accommodating. When we showed up about 20 minutes early, she was very unwilling to serve our bridal party drinks because there was "no one behind the bar". This was a little discouraging, but the rest of the night was amazing.
Our maitre'd, I believe her name was Victoria, was THE BEST! So sweet, constantly made sure my husband and I had a drink, and when my dress ripped she looked EVERYWHERE and found some safety pins for me.
Our guests loved the food and the room was beautiful and very romantic feeling.
I would definitely recommend the Coral House to others :)
everything was taken care of. cant thank them enough for making our wedding day almost perfect.. to nicole catanzaro & nicole(maitre'd), thanks for your dedication on your work... more power & god bless..:)
We met Linda Hunt - manager and knew right away this was the venue for our wedding. We were already sold on the outdoor view of the lake. The gazebo and how they set up out door ceremonies but her professionalism and top service sealed the deal. We wouldn't have changed anything. Down to our maître d Cindy who ran the day of my wedding as a well oiled machine. I am BIG on customer service and details and The Coral House impressed me beyond belief. The food, the decor, the service. Top notch all of the way!
Everyone at the Coral House was attentive, helpful and on point. The food was delicious and the price was right. I would recommend and have already recommended the Coral House.
The coralhouse, made my wedding so wonderful. Laurie is a wonderful go to person and she really listened to what i wanted. the food was awesome. and the upgrades they did are all perfect.
Let me first say that this review is not indicative of only the service at Coral House, but also the mismanagement of their staff as well as the shady business that happened to me on my wedding day!
First of when dealing with the wedding planner, we were not notified of the additional weddings happening that day. Originally our planner told us that there was no wedding scheduled for that day, but told us our wedding was to start at 7PM with no other events. Now that's pretty late for a September wedding, but we went with it seeing that there was no wedding scheduled. When we get there not only was there another wedding going on, but there were THREE (3) consecutive weddings occurring at the same time. Now if you're looking for transparency this is something that you're not going to find here.
Second our Maître d was not informed of the way that the processional should run. We had another day of planner that knew of the the things that were going on, but they did NOT follow them. How difficult is it to read off of a detailed schedule. Thus our processional was rushed and did not come out the way it should.
Third and most importantly was the quality, quantity and timing of food. The cocktail hour had barely any food. We splurged to get the raw bar, however there was nothing. NO RAW BAR. Basically a couple of grimey clams and that's about it. The food was not being replenished nor handled with care. Finally when the main course came out, it was delayed until 11:30PM! Are you kidding me? This is unacceptable. Our guests walked out with no food and a terrible experience. I literally had guests asking to have some food, but the wait staff did not care. Not only that when I asked the wait staff what happened they got snippy with me and cursed at me. Professionalism? Not at the Coral House.
Here's my final take. DO NOT HAVE ANY EVENTS AT CORAL HOUSE! I'm not saying this because I want to drive business away out of spite, but because I know that people who have events here are trying to do something special and important. By going to Coral House you'll just be stressed out and swindled into having a sub-par event. I hope that this wakens the management to do a better job and that you can't treat people like this. New paint and lights don't make up for the atrocities that happened at my wedding. Please let your friends and family know.
They were helpful and professional. they answered all my many questions multiple times.
They undercharged me and I had to pay the day of. Everyone makes mistakes though. I would say go with them but make sure to double check the price and taxes, etc. I used them for my ceremony and reception
That is what our guest are still saying about the Coral House two weeks later. Linda was fabulous and so was Tina; absolutely professional and every ateention to detail was addressed. I had my parent's 50th anniversary here about 15 yrs ago in a smaller room and decided to use them again for my own wedding. We were in the Americana and I could not have been more pleased about the decor, and the ambience; everything was just perfect the food was absolutely delicious all the guest are raving about what a beautiful place and how good the food was that night. We were able to have the cocktail hour outside on the deck which was wonderful the weather was picture perfect. I plan to use them again in the future and I think I heard some of the guest say the same.
they were very helpful
I enjoyed my wedding at the Coral House. I felt the staff were very attentive and professional. And the food was delicious. My only complaint is the food served during the cocktail hour was not served in my bridal suite, as promised.
We had a great wedding for a great price and great services
The coral house was a great venue and they knew what they were doing, however that also was there downfall. They are use to doing so many weddings they didn't take the time out to comfort me on what to expect on the day of. During all the arrangements I also felt really rushed like time was an essence for them. However on the day of my wedding everything was beautiful. My Madre' D was John and he made sure everything went flawlessly. Everyone had a great time and I would recommend this place.
Everything was absolutely perfect! Our planner Linda was phenomenal and her attention to detail and professionalism throughout the entire planning process was unparalleled.
We had our Wedding at the Coral House. From the first time I spoke to them until the last goodnight of our evening We cannot say enough about the entire staff. From the minute we arrived they were at your side making sure each and every detail was covered. The food was outstanding. The atmosphere was superb. Its been 3 weeks since our wedding and our guests are still giving us rave reviews. A few of which have decided to use them for there affairs. We are so grateful for the way they treated each and every person as if they were there only concern. We are already starting to plan a suprise birthday there. Absolutely loved the Coral House.
Everything came out beautiful, the details, the food was amazing. My Matre-De Tina was spot on with everything, she was the best. My guests had a wonderful time and I really didn't have to worry about anything that day.
The Coral House was a very nice venue. The grounds provide wonderful settings for pictures. The food was good, and the staff are very professional and helpful. Laurie Esposito was fabulous while planning our wedding. John (maître d) was very professional.
Everyone was so attentive to my needs and went beyond the call of duty to make the day magical. The food was amazing, the venue was spacious, warm and cozy. They had two other parties happening and I didn't even realize. The Coral House is the place to have your wedding or any event. Great service, great staff, great food, great place!
The Coral House was the first venue I went to see. I loved it from the first time I stepped in the doors. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I have never seen a reception hall more accommodating than the Coral House. Instead of having the usual table numbers to seat my guests, I used song titles. The staff was able to service my guests just like if there were table numbers, no mistake was made.
My wedding was supposed to be outdoors but due to imclement weather everything was moved indoors. However, before that decision was made the staff called me early in the morning and told me not to worry that I had at least an hour before the wedding to make a decision. I dropped items off for the wedding ahead of time and there was no confusion the day of the wedding. If there were any problems I was not aware of it. The Coral House made sure I enjoyed my day to the fullest.
The Coral House is very reasonable and the view by the lake is breathtaking.
Coral House fullfilled everything we wanted for our wedding day. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful our wedding was.
Our wedding ceromony was held in the gardens followed by our cocktail hour on the balcony overlooking the lake.
The food was delicious, the facility was beautiful, the price was reasonable, and the service was fantastic.
From our first meeting till the event, Coral House provided professional and courteous service.
I strongly recommend Coral House.
