We used Seann from Music Mixers for our wedding in Newport in August and could not have been more…read morepleased with our choice. He was so helpful in the planning of the music and provided advice without being pushy. He also kept the evening rolling and checked in with us at several points throughout the evening to make sure that we were on the schedule we wanted. Unlike some DJs I have heard, Seann didn't talk too much or make the evening about himself in any way. He also showed up looking great - he easily would have blended in as a guest at the wedding. Most importantly, he played music that we loved and kept the dance floor full all night long - no exaggeration - from the first dance to the last. I received so many compliments on the DJ, which I don't think many brides can say. My interactions with Jason at Music Mixers were great as well. The contract was straightforward and the price was very competitive for the area, especially considering the level of service we received. I was shocked to read the other review on Yelp because my experience could not have been any more different. It almost makes me wonder if that was written by a competitor or something. I give Seann and Music Mixers the highest recommendation.

Just had my wedding in Narragansett RI (at the old KB) and hired Jason Citrone, he was excellent…read more The photobooth was setup on time, the props were perfect. The photo quality was excellent. He had the exact style that I wanted for the prints, and the photo book looks amazing. Simple, clean, and easy. Everyone had a great time, there was a line at the photobooth pretty much the whole time. I think we really got our money worth and I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Jason for an excellent wedding and thanks for all the vendor recommendations, it made planning our wedding from 3000 miles away much, much easier! I wish we had more time to hang out. If you book with Jason, book early, his rates are very good and he gets booked quickly. Luckily, he works with some amazing and talented people in Rhode Island so he can sometimes get you a good alternate. Special shout out to Ray Arruda, I'm not sure where to put your review just yet, but you were also amazing. The music mix was excellent and you knew just what to play and when to play it. Never could have done it without you, thank you! P.S. let me know where to write Ray's review.

We had the best experience with Sarah! She did our engagements and our ceremony and reception. She…read morewas on time, professional, very nice, and worked with us when my groomsmen were all over the place. She made sure we got all the best shots and worked so well with us. She also made sure everyone's face was visible when taking the large family picture after our ceremony. She made us all laugh and smile and captured all the great moments. Very happy with her work and she is super friendly and responsive. We are a go-with-the-flow couple and she took charge to make sure we had the best photos to remember. She also was very accommodating with our stubborn dogs during the engagement photos! I would recommend her work to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, Sarah!

On August 15, 2020, we met with Sarah, conducted the tour, and felt like this facility would make…read moreour special day even better. We were looking forward to getting married on October 1, 2021, at The Meadows but after our check was cashed that feeling disappeared. Since making our deposit we've been lied to, ignored and dismissed. Our issues began when we made our initial deposit. My fiance' grew up in Stonnington and it was important for her to have our wedding near her hometown. We were so excited to book this venue that on the weekend of August 22/23, 2020, while in Stonnington, we stopped off to give Sarah the check. There was another function getting set up and my fiance asked a staff person if Sarah was around so she could give her the check. The staff person said that Sarah had just stepped out and that she would give the check and signed contract to her. I called the following week to verify that the check had been received and what resulted was very odd. Sarah texted my fiance scolding her for dropping off the check, telling my fiance' that no Meadows staff were working that day and sounding shocked that we would want to make the deposit as quickly as we did. My fiance was so upset by this interaction that I ended up calling Sarah to deal with the situation. Sarah told me that she had the contract but did not have the check so I would have to send another check. I spent the money to have the initial check cancelled and mailed off another check. The second problem started when Sarah said she had the contract in hand when in reality it had been mailed to us by the bride and groom of the event. On September 1, 2020, I emailed Sarah to verify that she received the check and to find out what the next step in the planning staging was. I didn't receive a response. On September 16, 2020 I emailed Sarah to follow-up to see what the next step in the planning was. She responded on September 20, 2020, that the focus was on 2020 weddings and our tasting would be booked "early next year." In March of 2021 when we hadn't heard anything, I called Sarah on March 22, 2021 to see what our next step would be. I called again on March 30 and April 21st with no response and texted her on March 30th without a response. I submitted a message through The Meadows Facebook page and Instagram account without any responses. I did reach out to a caterer who informed me that Sarah would get in touch with me. On March 30, 2021, I submitted an email through The Meadows website looking to get in contact with someone but to also express several concerns about the lack of communication, questioning if we still had the date reserved since The Meadows didn't have a signed contract from us, asking when the tasting would be scheduled and feeling lied to about the contract. Sarah responded on March 30, 2021 only to say we had the date reserved and to please send the contract. The other issues weren't addressed, I emailed her again on March 30, 2021 to ask about the tasting and as of the date of this email have not received a response. Up to this point Sarah has been untruthful of being in possession of our contract, has not responded to simple inquiries and has dismissed my voiced concerns. I understand we are not the only wedding. I understand that this is a very challenging time. But we couldn't even have been afforded a simple "we're sorry things are crazy. I'm sorry I've been dismissive." We didn't have the confidence in spending an additional ten thousand dollars and having our special day be such. I understand we're not the only couple who is trying to get in touch with staff. What I don't understand is why we're being treated as a bother and someone that can't get a reply.

This was our first time working at this venue, so we had no idea what the experience would be like. The food was AMAZING! The staff were very helpful in accommodating our company, as well as all the guests. As a vendor we get to see what happens behind the scenes and sit back and watch how their events are facilitated and let me tell you, they are RIGHT ON POINT!!! We work at 100's of venues in CT, so we know what we are talking about. The owner Ian is very involved & even took the time to personally introduce himself. All that said, the person we MUST give the KUDOS to is their EVENT PLANNER, Danielle. SHE IS AMAZING AND RIGHT ON POINT!!! In our 30 years experience, we can tell you that when an event is excellently executed; whether it be with the food, timeline, cleanliness, etc., it ALWAYS has to do with the Event Planner. Danielle is PROFESSIONAL, ARTICULATE & EXPERIENCED!!!! Ian is lucky to have her, but he already knows that, as he stated as such when he introduced himself. She represents the business well and executes their events with ease. What an asset she is to their business. The great execution of any event is so important, especially a Wedding Event because you don't have a chance to redo it. It is so important to get it right and give each and every couple Memories of a Lifetime. Danielle does just that and understands how every detail matters. We will be recommending this venue to our potential clients going forward. Nice job Danielle and keep up the Great Work!!!!

From the first moment of planning until the clean up on Sunday, every staff person was attentive, insightful and courteous. You listened with care to the bride, groom and parents. You understood our shared vision and delivered the weekend impeccably. And that isn't easy with a demanding Jewish mother, a southern dad with slow to warm preferences, and busy high powered professional bride and groom with demanding jobs in New York City! Here are just some of the things we appreciated about our experience with you: all our questions were answered in a timely fashion (even tiny details like how tall is the awning on the deck in case we have to put the chuppa there), the play fields were in excellent condition even after a miserable winter, the star gazing at observatory was inspiring, the food was consistently delicious and presented beautifully (delighting even the hard to please cousins from NYC), rooms throughout the site were clean and inviting, all amenities provided and beautiful views from all of rooms, service was outstanding at every moment and, of course, you even did a great job on the weather. You all think of every detail and guided us with gentle awareness whenever we were floundering or headed in the wrong direction. You all were flexible and understanding and just fun to work with. Erin, you were amazing at your meticulous attention to detail in planning and George you were a reassuring and helpfully guiding voice even in the most intense moments of the weekend. Bill, loved your humor and inspiration with the food, making every guest feel nurtured and grateful for the experience. Facility was in impeccable condition and everything that was promised was delivered and more - right down to the smore ingredients and fire started just as promised - even after a rainy day preceding the wedding. You all are amazing. Thank you from the bottom of this mother of the bride's heart. Ruth Ettenberg Freeman

The dinner was buffet which included steaks, flounder stuffed with shrimp, lobster, and scallops, pasta, grilled vegetables, fresh breads, etc... They topped it off with a variety of fresh desserts which included amazing chocolate covered cherries and lemon cake to name a few. Whispering Pines is a perfect location for a wedding, family reunion, party, etc..
