The North House

track with things we needed, she was always available to answer any questions that we had. Jacqui made planning our wedding so much fun, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in a heartbeat. In addition, my mother STILL raves about how beautiful The North House is. Five stars isn't nearly enough to express how much we loved working with Jacqui and The North House staff!

our wedding! We are still getting rave reviews from our guests on the food, definitely recommend this venue for your wedding or any other event!

ue to COVID and The North House was willing to accomodate us. With the added benefit of Avon Congregational Church down the street that performed a beautiful ceremony and Avon Old Farms Hotel right across the street it is the perfect venue.

ting my wedding dress bustled. The location itself is beautiful- from the colonial charm of the old tavern to the bright elegant decor of the ballroom. Our food was delicious. Many guests have commented that it was some of the best wedding food that they have ever had. Tracy the wedding coordinator played a HUGE role in how the day went. She went so above and beyond the make the day incredibly special for us. She is a true gem. I cannot recommend The North House more if you are looking for a wedding venue. You will not be disappointed.

dy. Their coordinator, Tracy, is the best thing that has ever happened to me and my husband. She came in and truly worked so hard to make sure our wedding day was perfect. She is personable, approachable and professional. She was always available for any questions and spent time making sure I understood how everything was going to work. Tracy alone would have me writing rave reviews on The North House, but the venue offered so much more. We did everything there - the rehearsal dinner (the food is so so good), the ceremony, and the reception. The food at the reception was amazing! The workers there set up everything for me after Tracy explained my vision and packed everything up for me after, including extra cupcakes and my favorite purple potatoes! Our server for the head table, Kayleigh, was phenomenal. Seriously a 10/10. She went above and beyond to make sure we had drinks and got our food first. The bartender, Rob, is unbelievable. Our families will be talking about him forever. He was quick and personable. He even had a special spot reserved for my mom so she didn't have to wait in line. The staff here truly went above and beyond for us and paid special attention to every detail to make my wedding the best day of my life. Thank you to everyone at The North House!

best! The food is amazing! Everyone loved the lobster ravioli and main dishes. My only compliant is that the air conditioning was not working on the day of the wedding, which caused the cocktail hour to be very hot and sweaty. Luckily for us, the air conditioning in the main hall was working. We worked with several wedding coordinators--all we're great to work alongside. We had the firepit out with smores and everyone loved that feature too.

s that kept me grounded during the planning process and the actual wedding day. Oh, and the food was amazing too! Many thanks to the North House!

r families safe while also keeping the night beautiful, special, and fun. The manager, Dylan Reis is phenomenal at his job. He is so welcoming and friendly. Dylan was more than generous with his time as my parents, my husband, and I would stop by, text, and email him because things were constantly changing with COVID. He stayed calm and helped us through each new obstacle. Dylan guided us through the planning process from selecting the menu, the table arrangements, the timeline of our night, and the decorations. He even got there early in the morning to set up their separate event building for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in. During our dinner he was constantly coordinating with the chef, servers, and us to help the night go smoothly. Dylan is a wonderful person to work with. He made our day so special and memorable. Thanks to him we were able to relax and enjoy our day! The food was beyond excellent. It is the best food we have ever had. The chef is incredibly talented at her work. We have eaten at The North House many times previous to our wedding and have never been less than amazed at our meal. She is a remarkable chef. This was part of the reason we wanted to have our wedding dinner at The North House in the first place. The day of our wedding was no exception. Every dish was perfectly prepared and cooked. Everyone was blown away by how delicious the food was. The food was a definite highlight for us and our families! We were beyond happy with the meals! The baker Katrina did an amazing job on our wedding cake and desserts. Due to COVID, I requested a cake a week before the wedding. I was worried having to plan it so last minute, but she was so courteous and understanding of our situation. The cake looked even better than the photos I had sent her and tasted amazing! We chose coconut cream and we have never had a cake so delicious. Our wedding cake was more than I could have dreamed for. She also made the cheesecake and creme brûlée desserts for the wedding dinner which were also a huge hit. She is so gifted and talented. The entire team at The North House did an amazing job. Sean was our bartender for the night and he made each drink to everyone’s liking. He had anything you could ever want. The people on staff for serving that night were also absolutely wonderful. They were quick to take orders and deliver the food and drinks. They were so kind, fun, and efficient. Even before the wedding day when I was setting up some decorations the servers stopped by and introduced themselves to me. They were so happy and excited to be a part of our special day and that enthusiasm was contagious! Our waitress that night always made sure our drinks were full and consistently checked in with my husband and I. I heard the same raves about the other servers that night from our family. We are so grateful for their hard work and contagious excitement. It made the atmosphere of the night so much fun and relaxing for everyone. I could talk about our experience with The North House team for days. All I can say to them is thank you for making our wedding day more than we ever dreamed of. We had a wonderful night and are so grateful! We will never forget the kindness you all showed us.

planning this event was a nightmare. Talking to the coordinator, Lisa, made me want to pull my hair out. It felt like I had to remind her what my event was and what I wanted every time I called. She sent me menus that were out of date so when we made our menu selections, half of our selections weren't available. We found out after the fact that any non-alcoholic beverages were not included in our package. And I had to email her multiple times to be sent my contract (it took over 3 weeks of constant reminder emails to get her to send it to me and I was starting to feel like a stalker). On the day of the event, nothing was arranged in the room like I asked and all of our tables were arranged on one side of the room so there was a giant open space for no reason. But another shout out to the staff that worked my event who immediately set everything up the way I wanted and the event went smoothly without Lisa and her planner's amnesia. Maybe they are better with larger events, but considering how low maintenance our event was, the fact that planning it was a disaster doesn't bode well.

Not only did she meet with various family members multiple times before the big day on short notice to answer concerns, she also opened the venue earlier than scheduled so that we could decorate the hall with time to relax and get ready for the wedding. She went above and beyond multiple times and I am grateful for it. The North House is a beautiful historic location for a wedding and we were lucky enough to take some wedding day photos inside the Forge Room. There are just the right amount of old, historical views as there are modern since the banquet hall is modernized to be elegantly white and clean (making it easy to decorate to create a theme). The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed the open bar. The chocolate lava cake and s'mores station were praised by many guests! We extended the night a few extra hours and everyone enjoyed the extra time to dance and drink. For the price and flexibility of the venue I 100% recommend it. Guests from California said they would fly over for any party if we had it at The North House again!!

ed into the lounge area for cocktails and hor’s deouvres. There were some cheeses, veggys and dip. About 10 minutes later we were blessed to be given some crackers to go with it. The hot items began to come out approx 5 minutes after that with butler service only, no table with chaffing dishes. The trays being offered had 12 to fifteen items, and after a few steps they were empty. They made 8 to 10 passes and that was it, very skimpy and not enough of it. Further as one of our dinner choices we got the filet. We specifically asked about cooking temperature and Jackie told us we would be asked how we liked it cooked. If that had happened I might not be writing this, but as you can guess nobody asked and the beef came out medium well with no pink at all. Finally as an added touch the coordinator Jackie was dressed in street clothes the whole time, certainly not professional attire for a supposed high end wedding. I know she could have done better since the next morning when we went to gather our things, there was going to be another function and she had on a lovely dress, hair nicely done, and make up in place. Why she slighted us I don’t know. There are so many places you can do better for your money.

amazing throughout the entire wedding weekend from the time I dropped decor off the day before to the time I picked it up the day after. Not a single thing went wrong and I attribute that to her! The venue is beautiful, elegant, and clean. The food was amazing, staff was amazing and we overall just had an experience we will never forget.

cor, to timing of the night, she made sure that everything ran smoothly. My guests are still talking about how much fun they had at the wedding and I owe Jacqui for keeping me sane throughout the process of planning from another state. We had had a seated dinner, cupcake tower, s'mores table and firepit. We even had our signature drink of a smoked old fashioned. Whatever we needed, Jacqui was able to accommodate. I would recommend the North House to anyone.

. Thank you Jacqui for helping make the day special!

true. You mean we get a coordinator, linens, ceremony, tables, chairs, bridal suite, food, open bar, AND waitstaff all together?! What an absolute dream! For this bride and groom who wanted to worry less about the small details and more about what mattered to us, this was more than perfect! Jacqui answered every email and question we had, was always gracious and helpful, and during the day checked on us multiple times to make sure we were doing well. I truly felt like we got to ATTEND our own wedding, which was very important to us. She offered her honest opinion on every decision we had to make, and every time we drove away from a meeting with her we would look at each other and ask "How would we do this without Jacqui?" We LOVED our wedding, our venue, and the entire experience with The North House. If you're looking for a place that will make planning your wedding FUN and *stress-free*, seriously, do yourself a favor and book here.

ery moment leading up to and including our wedding day, Jacqui was quick to respond and ensure that everything was in order and ready to go. We had no worries or concerns on the day of our wedding, as we knew that Jacqui was there to assist us and to ensure things ran smoothly. The reception area was absolutely gorgeous. It was elegant and still felt intimate and very personalized. The large bridal suite upstairs was a perfect place for me & my wedding party to get ready, and for my husband and I to relax in for a bit before our cocktail hour began. Throughout the night, Jacqui made sure to check in with my husband and I, as well as our families to see if we needed anything else. The food was delicious- and we got numerous compliments from our guest on how great all the food was that we had (including our Sundae Bar to go with our cake- perfect for a hot June night!). Overall, the wedding reception ran incredibly smooth from start to finish, thanks to Jacqui and the team at The North House. I am so happy we picked The North House for our special day- it was really a perfect day!

with it immediately, it was even better than we expected, as it was just renovated with beautiful white marble floor making it a gorgeous modern ballroom with a rustic atmosphere in the attached tavern. With our wedding date only 6 months out, I was nervous and stressed. It’s not like I plan a wedding every day, so what do I know about the planning process? My fears and worries went away after we started working with Jacqui who is AMAZING! I feel like I had a million questions for her, but she was able to answer them quickly. I was amazed by how organized she is. At the end of each of our meetings, she followed up with notes and outstanding action items. She was also a huge help with our timeline and working with our vendors. We added a last-minute change to the sequence of events the day before and she updated our vendors, so everyone was aware of the change and it worked out perfectly. Also, don’t be afraid to throw challenges at her with your requests! She will do whatever she can to accommodate. My husband told me that our wedding is not happening without craft beer, so Jacqui got us craft beer! We celebrated our beautiful wedding day with 123 guests. Our cocktail hour was perfect, the room has an elegant staircase that provides a beautiful photo opportunity and allowed me to have an unforgettable grand entrance to our cocktail hour. The bar was pouring our signature cocktails that were perfectly balanced and the passed hors d'oeuvres were hot and delicious. The choices they have for hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and dessert cupcakes are numerous which allowed us to select something we knew our most picky eaters would enjoy. They also have options for gluten free guests and had no problem creating one off entrees for guests with complicated dietary restrictions. The food was simply delicious! After dinner, the dance floor was open, and we had a late-night fire-pit with smores in the outdoor patio while our DJ kept the energy high with nonstop dancing in the ballroom. At the end of the night we had a sparkler send off. All our friends and family made their way to the front entrance where the staff was prepared handing out sparklers. When it was time, we both had a magical exit under a sea of sparks on our way to the hotel. Their proximity to the hotel is also a win in our book. This also made the North House the perfect location for our rehearsal dinner. The ambiance was spectacular with the private dining room, rustic ambiance, wide variety of craft beer, delicious creative cocktails and meals that our guests are still raving about. We have a few guests who made several return visits to The North House for brunch the next day after the wedding and in months since as the food and service have left a positive impression. Our wedding was our perfect day. The North House was by far the best decision we made. It’s comforting to work with people who are experienced, and you can trust. We continue to look back on our wedding day fondly and are overjoyed with how the day went. I keep telling Jacqui that I want to relive the entire day again! We would like to thank The North House, Jacqui, and the wonderful staff for making the whole experience, everything we wished it would be and more! XOXO

venue. We thought it was beautiful. Simple, sleek, clean, and modern, with a touch of rustic. The planning process was very detailed and our meetings were thorough. I was very happy with how this went. However, when our wedding day came around, things that were promised, were not delivered. We feel as if they fell short of a few things. Our vegetarian dish was eggplant parm which was served alone with no starch, protein or vegetable. It was quite the sad looking dish. At the tasting, it was prepared differently and on a bed of angel hair pasta. We had spoken in the meetings about two signature drinks, which we chose, and were served only one. The flower girl basket was filled with wine CORKS (part of our décor) instead of flowers, as we were not asked what the basket was for, so there was a BIG discrepancy with communication throughout the day. The flower petals were no where to be found so they had to be taken off of each tables centerpiece to fill the basket, and I was told that Jacqui was telling guests not to tell me (the bride) of this issue. Whether if it was to not worry or stress me out, I don’t know, but this is unacceptable. I’d rather have had someone go out and buy a dozen roses then have my centerpieces be altered. Jacqui was also supposed to use the lanterns provided to line the aisle by the end chairs, and this was not done. We went over all of this in our meetings. I feel like we were not listened to. Jacqui also had a so called “assistant” who barely assisted in anything that had to do with my needs and the needs of my wedding party. There was a point where myself, my mother, the photographer, my maid or honor AND DJ were looking for Jacqui for about an hour and she could not be found. When I voiced my opinions and concerns about the above, I was rudely attacked by the owner, Nick Chabot, who was blaming me for things not being good enough for me. Not only was I attacked, but my questions and concerns were never acknowledged. With all do respect, this was MY wedding, the most stressful, overwhelming, nerve-wracking day of a woman’s life, that I only want it to be the way I’d ever expect and want it to be, and it should have been! Many things were not brought to my attention until after the wedding from hearing it from other guests or family members. All in all, the venue is beautiful, but beware of the owner, and the inconsistent, uncommunicative, “so called” wedding coordinator, Jacqui, who completely disappointed me on my big day.

began talking with Jacqui (wedding coordinator), I knew i had made the right decision. Jacqui was super helpful and always on point with checking in on the planning process throughout the entire time. She really seemed very organized. My bridal party and I got ready on-site, starting bright and early, and Jacqui was there the entire time ensuring checking-in with us to see if we needed anything. We did our ceremony on-site outside on the patio and it was beautiful. Jacqui again did a fantastic time organizing that. The food was absolutely AMAZING, hands down the best food I’ve ever had at any sort of wedding or banquet. We also received many compliments from guests saying the same. Thankfully, the weather was perfect and guests were able to enjoy the patio all night, which seemed to be a great crowd pleaser. I would highly recommend The North House to anyone looking to have a wonderful wedding at a more intimate setting. We had close to 140 guests and I thought the space was great for it.

e and accommodating to make the day “ours”. On the day of, the food and the service were tremendous, not to mention the presentation itself. We would highly recommend this place!!

, photographer and the DJ's. On the day of the wedding she was always positive and was there from the morning when we arrived to dress to after the last song. The North House and Bella's Ballroom was just beautiful. the neutral tones of grey made it so easy to use any color you would want for your wedding. My daughter was won over by the staircase. Such beautiful photos were taken on it. Finally everyone loved and raved about the food. We couldn't have been happier. Jacqui was the icing on the cake, bringing it all together.

. Not a single detail was missed the entire day! The ballroom had been recently renovated and it is stunning! The marble tiles make the space and my guests couldn't stop talking about the gorgeous venue. To top it all off, the food was amazing! I had the surf and turf and both the lobster and steak were cooked perfectly. I can't recommend The North House enough!

th and makes it clear you are always a priority. She made the planning process easy and stress free, which was much appreciated since I was planning a wedding from afar due to school! She was so patient with me and my schedule, and always kept my mother, who was in state, in the loop. Everything leading up to the big day was seamless and our wedding day went off without a hitch. We chose to do a plated dinner, which still gave guests plenty of options- they chose from 4 different entrees! During our tasting, we decided against a plated appetizer, but instead replaced it with a gazpacho soup course. The chef was amenable to all meals tweaks and ideas we had, making sure we got exactly what we were looking for. Wedding day. My bridal party and I arrived here in the morning to get ready at the venue using their bridal suite upstairs. It was a lovely and relaxed atmosphere with a small menu of snacks available, which we utilized and snacked on throughout the day! The large amount of natural light was perfect while we got our hair and makeup done. It was the perfect place to get ready, especially on a rainy day. We had hoped to have our ceremony outside, but with the weather it wasn't going to happen. This was no issue because The North House has a plan for everything! We ended up getting married on the staircase in the foyer and it was absolutely breathtaking. Jacqui made sure the bridal party had gone through both indoor and outdoor options in case of weather during the rehearsal, which prevented any snafus when the weather pushed us inside. Overall, our day was perfect. The schedule was down to a science and things went smoothly from ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception. We are still getting compliments on the food from the wedding! We cannot say enough great things about this venue. In what can be a very stressful time, they make every effort to keep their brides and grooms relaxed and stress free- from booking the venue through wedding day. Thank you so much for helping make our wedding such an amazing and special day!!

could not stop raving about the amazing food and the fact that they offered a fire pit after dinner. If I could host another event at The North House, I would!!

so interested in every detail of our special day. She suggested some awesome options and we really enjoyed working with her! The only thing I will say was that you should mention that you want your tables called to get food if your having a Buffet. My in laws wound up being last to get food and there wasn’t a ton left. But they did eat and said the food was amazing. And it was! The north house offers a wide variety of food options which we really loved. It allowed us to choose some really neat foods. Like a taco bar, and grilled cheese and soup bar! I cannot thank the North house enough for everything they did to make our day special!
