Inside was gorgeous as well. The set up was stunning and I loved the lounge while we waited to enter the main room. I'm not sure if they provided the decor but it was top tier. The food was delicious(even though I didn't take a lot of photos). The drinks were amazing. I wish I got the name of the bartender in the hall area, she was so spot on with every drink I ordered. The customer service was top tier. The servers were very kind and attentive to all our needs. The stressed to know about allergies and preferences, which was impressive. I've gone to conferences where allergies were treated carelessly and people got sick. So I really appreciated them constantly checking in. The tables were cleared immediately after you were done. The servers were very accommodating when asked for additional things as well. Looks of gorgeous areas to take photos. The area we were in was wheelchair and disabled accessible which was great. The bathrooms were nice and clean as well. I had a great time and would highly recommend and love to come again.

DJ Bill was great! We had multiple phone calls with Bill before our wedding. He created a great…read moretimeline for us and helped run the reception smoothly. He played many songs on my long list of requests and didn't play a single song on my "do not play" list. He kept the party fun and the dance floor full. His uplighting also really enhanced our room.

I wanted the bridal shower to be special with food beyond what I could do. I just don´t feel we got our monies worth.

I was able to go to their office to pick up samples of the menu she had prepared and I was sold! Even bringing it home and heating it up myself 3 hours later, it was delicious! The night of the party, Leah, TJ and Tim arrived on time and were so prepared, pleasant, fun and professional. They made the party so special for me, my partner and all of our guests. Every time I tried to do something myself, one of them would say "I'll do it, you enjoy your party." Wow. The price was very reasonable and the food was so delicious. Everyone raved about it! And the birthday cake was out of this world! Tallulah's makes everything simple and fun for their clients. I would recommend them to anyone planning a party or event. I would definitely use them for other big parties...and I may have to...now my partner tells me she's spoiled! Thanks, Carrie, John, Leah, TJ and Tim!

She kept everything and everybody on track, and there wasn't even the slightest hiccup of any kind throughout the entire day. Our parents initially weren't entirely on board with the idea of a day-of coordinator, but relented after the day went so smoothly.

She forced a few of our guests, seniors, who arrived 15 minutes early, to stand in the parking lot on a very hot and humid evening. Her job as the owner was to make our guests feel welcomed and comfortable, neither of which she accomplished. To add insult to injury, the two small ac units, which would be suitable for a small bedroom, provided NO comfort at all. The temperature in that place was unbearable! Caroline bombarded me with passive aggressive, negative comments throughout the evening which I tried so hard not to let bother me. Her final performance of the evening was her demand that we take our garbage with us! I WAS HUMILIATED! I was not only robbed of thousands of dollars, (yes, thousands, for 42 people, and we brought our OWN alcohol and food) but robbed of the special evening I had planned for my daughter, her dear friends, amazing family and her soon to be family, on what should have been a memorable evening Four weeks after the disappointing event that still haunted me, I sent Ms. Bossetti an email expressing my concerns. I have never received a response from her. Watertown is a small town and stories get shared and stories travel, so I'm surprised others haven't written their reviews.
