The folks at Alpine Grove were so accommodating and made every effort to make it a special occasion for all in attendance.

The entire staff at Alpine Grove takes pride in the work they do and the lifetime memories they create. I give the Alpine Grove my highest recommendation.

I had a vision and they surpassed it. It was a perfect day. I love that their wedding packages included so many vendors- this helped eliminate so much stress and guess work. During these times i wasn't sure how the day would look and Alpine made sure it was prefect. HIGHLY RECOMMEND using them if you're looking!

I hired John for a birthday celebration, after speaking with a few local caterers his offering was…read morebest for my needs. On the day of the party, I had a chef on-site, one server and one bartender, who served guests with booze I supplied. They came early to set up and cleaned everything up before they left. Their service included all platters, plates, and cutlery. The team was kind and professional. We did hot/cold heavy-apps, in total 8, which included a cheese board and hummus/dips. The food was outstanding, everyone raved about it. It was expensive but this approach allowed me to have more people join and I was able to enjoy time with guests without worrying about food or that someone had a drink. One minor frustration was the contract process, it should be standard practice to have an agreement that outlines all details, including the agreed to menu, and to have it signed by both parties. It felt like they were inconvenienced by this request. That said, I would recommend Essential Chefs Catering to anyone!

We were looking for a local wedding venue and couldn't have been happier with Teresa's Hillview…read moreCountry Club in North Reading and their wedding coordinator, Sharon Shaugnessy. The function area had plenty of room for our 175 guests to mingle, with a large dance floor and a great spot for the DJ with his giant video screen. Their bartenders and serving staff were very professional, fun, and there was never a wait at the bar. There is a large deck overlooking the beautiful golf course and a side room that provided a nice place for our guests to enjoy the amazing appetizers, drinks, and music while we took our photos. Teresa's also provided a huge private area for the wedding party to relax and enjoy appetizers prior to being announced, and a safe place to store changes of clothes and other personal items. There was also plenty of parking and Teresa's provided an attendant as well. Sharon was easy to work with, was extremely supportive during the planning, and was in control and calm during the reception to ensure our day went as planned! We had some unique needs and special desires and Sharon was very accommodating. For example, we decided to have a dessert table in lieu of a wedding cake; we put our trust in Sharon to take care of that for us and she far exceeded every expectation! Our dessert bar was absolutely amazing and our guests raved about it! Additionally, she was so helpful with our request for food stations instead of a traditional sit down meal. The biggest hit...a mashed potato bar, with loads of toppings and served in martini glasses! Our guests couldn't get enough! Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be because of the planning and facility offered by Teresa's Hillview and Sharon Shaugnessy. If you are looking for a wedding venue in the North Reading area, we strongly recommend Teresa's and Sharon!

Both times was buffet service and people brought their plates up. Bar was full service and the bartender was quick and efficient. I do think it's a little pricey for a function, but all things considered, if you can afford it then it's a no brainer. I've never had any hiccups with events at this venue. Also where else can you get a mudslide and tenders like those?

The food was fresh and delicious. Our guests kept saying how much they enjoyed it, and were asking where we ordered from! We were so happy with everything from start to finish and will be recommending them to everyone!

It could have used more seasoning, and the medium steak was well done, but everything was fresh, so we appreciated that. The views and grounds were incredible, but what I wanted to focus on was the Service. It more than made up for the food! We have traveled all over and eat out quite a bit (too often), and this place has the best staff we have had the pleasure of dining with. We were greeted by Diane, and Patti was our server. Both were attentive, friendly, and helpful. Diane, the hostess, greeted us with the biggest smile and was so welcoming. She walked us to our seats and even offered to move our table so we could have the best view. We closed the place down, and we decided last minute to get a gift card for friends we knew would love the experience. She restarted the POS system to do this for us, even though it was late, she could have asked us to come back another day. Patti was so helpful with food and drink selections. She checked on us often but was not intrusive. Even the younger staff moving tables at the end of the night smiled a lot and made conversation with us. There was an acoustic guitarist playing in the background at just the perfect volume. It enhanced the experience. Some places we've been the music has been obnoxiously loud. Clearly their focus is on top-notch service and they seem to enjoy working together. We were so impressed and look forward to going back.

When I saw no knife except a butter knife on the table when the filet minion came, I was a little worried, but it was so tender it essentially cut like butter.
