I cannot say enough for the fireside tavern. It is an excellent place to have a wedding. I was attracted to this site because of the close proximity of the ceremony site,reception site, and hotel site, everything is in walking distance. When my... mom and I went to check it out a year ago we were so impressed with how beautiful the grounds were, and the reception ball room was fantastic, with no hesitation we booked the wedding date right away!
After booking I was constantly impressed with the staff and their willingness to help us plan for the big day. All of our questions were answered promptly!
The wedding day was incredible! And the fireside was so beautifully landscaped that it made me proud to have my family and friends come to our outdoor wedding ceremony. The fireside set the ceremony site up perfectly having done everything my mother and I asked. Everything was done for us all the flowers, and decorations i purchased had been set up by the staff at fireside leaving no stress for me, my mom, or the groom! Before the actual ceremony I had been showed the ballroom after it was all set up and ready to go, wow was it beautiful. All of my centerpieces and table linens, cake, and other decor was set up perfectly. The lobby when you first walk in is beautiful, and again they set it up with all of our extra decor to make it look absolutely stunning!
I can't say enough about the service at the fireside, Amanda was wonderful. She was with us the entire day of the wedding, guiding us with direction in where to go when, and always asking if we needed anything or if she could help. She made or rehearsal run smoothly and was very professional and knowledgable about how to make the day run smoothly, (a huge advantage as neither of us had a clue!)
Our ceremony was perfect, we got married in front of the gazebo in the fire sides beautiful courtyard. The new stone aisle to walk on is lovely! After the ceremony the groom and I walked back down the aisle to celebrate having just been married, immediately as we got to the end of the aisle a waitress was there with wine and beer so we and all of our attendees could have a toast! We went to get our pictures done, and the cocktail hour was held right after the ceremony, it was such a beautiful day most of our guests stayed outside in the courtyard where they were served beer and wine and butlered hor deourves! Stationary hor deourves and a bar were inside. As the groom and I walked the property for our photos a waitress came out to find us with appetizers and wine and beer for us while we were away, which was so nice!
We chose the braised beef,crab cake, ceaser salad, Mediterranean pasta salad, mozerel tomato salad,vegetable ratatouille, garlic mashed potatos and I have to say there was not one thing that we chose that wasn't fantastic! We had a buffet style dinner, and we were so impressed with the food! The service throughout the entire wedding was wonderful, making our wedding day even better!
I had looked at other venues to have my wedding at before we went to the fireside and none of them even compared to it. Such great staff, beautiful landscaping, delicious food, and all the extras that were included in our final price really made our wedding day special!
