I feel like no written review could do them appropriate justice--you must experience it for yourself. Matthew's is SO MUCH more than a catering company and they become more like friends to us. We knew immediately after our initial phone consultation/menu design that they were going to be the highlight of our wedding. Matt is so passionate about cooking and that comes through with the versatility of the menu creation and the favors of the food. Four months later and my guest are still talking about how our food was the best wedding meal they ever tasted!!! (do yourself a favor and put the mac and cheese on your menu). Linda- she was an amazing coordinator and friend to us throughout the process. She made us feel so comfortable and was there to help us throughout EVERY STEP of the planning and execution and was only a call or text away. She smiled every time I told her I changed my mind on the set up or design and was happy to accommodate any request. Our wedding went seamlessly because of Linda's direction and guidance. She took care of everything so we could enjoy our day without interruption. She is the kindest and most amazing person to work with. Matthew' Catering staff- they were so incredible and took great care of our guests. From the set up, breakdown, serving guests they didn't miss a beat. Numerous guests commented on how they were the most attentive and kind staff they ever encountered at a wedding. My favorite part of wedding planning was working with this team because they helped alleviate any stress with their experience, kindness, and passion for bringing people together with delicious food. They were also the most affordable option that we considered with the highest quality/tasty food. 10000/10 would recommend over and over again.

My whole family were invited to a wedding at Lord Thompson Manor on New Year's Eve. What a blast!…read moreUpon arrival Lord Thompson Manor is a beautiful mansion with awesome grounds nicely decorated for the holidays inside and out. The wedding ceremony was here and after we toasted the bride and groom. The staff made sure all the guests had champagne for the toasting. For cocktail hour many hors d'oeuvres were passed around plus several tables of food you would expect at a high end catering venue. We enjoyed everything from steak to vegetables to many to name. The service was excellent. There were many staff walking around to either pass out hors d'oeuvres or clean up after us. I've never seen so many staff at a wedding venue doing this. This was over the top. For diner there were several rooms with 3 or 4 table each. We even had personalized menus with our names on them at our table. Never seen this. What a nice touch. For dinner we started with a nice salad with lettuce, nuts, and cheese. The only choice for the main course was Filet Mignon. I enjoyed it but not everyone likes meat. There were no other option. That was strange, not sure why they did that. Before dessert we were back on the dance floor. DJ was great. The were 2 bars and the bartenders were on top of their game all night. For me since it was New Year's Eve I drank Champagne all night. Luckily we had a shuttle to us back to the hotel we were staying at. No driving for me. Dessert of course was wedding cake and a bunch of other fine delicious items, ice cream, brie with pecans in a sweet sauce, and others. At this point I stopped looking because I was stuffed. We toasted at midnight with more champagne. Then came the after party. I can't say enough for Lord Thompson Manor, the decor was beautiful, staff were amazing, efficient, polite and there were many staff personnel to assist. We all had a great time.

This place was really lovely. I'll break my review down…read more Room: immaculately clean and pretty. Our room had it's own bathroom that was also clean, had towels and all the essentials available. It was decorated in a very pretty historical style. My husband is especially picky and had nothing to even point a finger at. House: Very cosy. there is a very large front yard where we had breakfast in the morning when it was nice out. If you stay there definitely walk the grounds of the house. It's so pretty and calming there. The house sits on about 5 acres but it's mostly woods all around except for the area right around the house. Breakfast: The best part! They have a farm and garden on the grounds so all the eggs, herbs, and fruit were from their garden and farm. Everything was very fresh and delicious. On the first day we had eggs and herb roasted potatoes which were delish. We also had home made muffins with blueberries from the garden! amazing! the next day we had by far the best pancakes I have ever had. all homemade with items from the yard! I would come back just for the breakfast! Owners: Gail and her husband Sandy are the sweetest! They took really good care of us. They were very helpful as far as what to do around town before we took off for the casinos in the evening.

Also, the rough is thick and leafy, so I lost a few balls I would likely have found any other time of the year. But, again, these are to be expected in mid-October. The course is laid out nicely and offers a challenge while not killing you in the process. The scenery was fantastic. You just can't beat autumn in New England!

We fell in love with her, the house, everything including the murder-by-mail story behind the house from the 1800s. About 2 weeks before the party we called Kaitlyn and told her it was going to turn into our surprise wedding! She continued to be so helpful and excited, giving recommendations for all kinds of vendors we'd need. The day of the party she was professional and hands-on, making sure everything got done on a quick timeline. She calmed nerves and had great suggestions on where things should go to make sure everything flowed just right. Our rental price included some tables and linens she had available, and some glassware too. It was so perfect from the start and we couldn't be happier!!

I would def host an event here because unlike the Newport mansions I could touch things and see things in the midst of being historically preserved since they're still restoring the house.

I was passing through Brooklyn yesterday when I stumbled across Sadie's Sweet Shop with just a little bit of time to kill. This small shop had a ton of candy that seems to be made by then (I got some rock candy for my wife) and of course the main reason I stopped, ice cream. I ended up getting a two scoop cone with some sort of almond joy scoop as well as the flavour I look for everywhere, Cookie Monster. Both flavours of ice cream were solid and I have zero complaints. This might be the first time I had almond joy ice cream and I thought it was pretty good. Overall, this was a small review for a small ice cream shop. Sadie's Sweet Shop had small town vibes and served simple and tasty ice cream. Can't really ask for much else can you?
