If you are in a wheel chair, good luck getting int the bathrooms or using them. Had to enter and exit the hall through the kitchen, only flat area. Was a nice place, food and apps were good. Thank god I called in advance but was still stressful for something that should have been an exciting day for families. This is 2026 and still we have facilities that are not adaptable, pretty sad actually. Spend some money and do better for people with disabilities or elderly who might not get around so well.

Susanne always responded quickly, answered our questions right away, and made everything feel easy and stress free. The venue was beautiful, with amazing skyline views, and the service was outstanding. One thing our guests especially appreciated was the variety of food options available. There were plenty of choices to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences, which made everyone feel included. The food was delicious. The chicken marsala, baby potatoes, broccoli rabe, and steak were all excellent and received many compliments from our guests. The drinks, atmosphere, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. We received so much positive feedback and many people commented that it was the best end of year event we have had. Thank you to Joe, Susanne, and the entire team for making it such a memorable celebration. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Last night, a charitable organization I belong to (if you work in the insurance industry anywhere…read morein the US or Canada and want to know more about it, message me), held a big fundraiser here for the Arthur C. Luf Children's Burn Camp. For many years, we held this gala at the Aquaturf Club, but in an effort to switch things up, this year's board wanted to try a new venue. I have to say, I'm very glad they did so, because my first experience with The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station was a very positive one. The building is gorgeous, the entry foyer and grand staircase are impressive, the banquet room can hold 300 and it is beautiful, the servers and bartenders were wonderful, the view from the big rear balcony is stellar, and the food was excellent. We had 130 guests who started off the evening with a big hors d'oeuvres station of tomatoes with mozzarella and basil, balsamic prosciutto and artichokes, and a hot crab dip served with crackers and rye toasts. The ribbons of prosciutto and artichokes were excellent, but the crab dip stole the show. When the main food stations opened up, there was plenty - a carving station with ham and turkey with salads and rolls to make a sandwich, and a penne station with terrific green and quinoa salads. I loved the sound system too -when our speakers took the podium, the sound was excellent and filled the room easily. We had a wonderful time at the Riverhouse, and I hope we hold next year's function here again.

Sadly, this is a tale of unfulfilled potential. What could have been a true destination spot for…read moreweddings and special occasions has unfortunately only succeeded in becoming a somewhat fancy social hall. Situated adjacent to the Connecticut River, this location has beautiful views of the river that should have been the backdrop for a place to remember when hosting weddings and other important events. Too bad the designers decided to not go all out on the interior design. The main room is basically one large, open space with little charm or character. Bulky, dark and brown-colored chandeliers light the hall- my wife remarked that it looks like something out of a scene from "Game of Thrones". Crystal chandeliers would have brightened the space and made it more magical. The space itself could have been designed to make it feel more intimate, by using partial partitions and half-walls to subdivide the hall into smaller units. And the rest of the interior decor was minimal at best- unremarkable window treatments and other decorative effects. This place could have been something very special- if only more thought had been put into the final design.

All of our food was delicious! I may be bias but it was the best food I've eaten at a wedding and our guests all agreed. They really went above and beyond. Their staff is fabulous! So many of our guests commented on how friendly the servers and bar tenders were. David was fantastic to work with. Beyond the usual planning, we live in CA but had our wedding in CT and the distance was no issue with our plans. I can't recommend Impressive Catering enough!!! I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.

I can't express enough how wonderful Tea Kettle Catering was for our party. Highly recommend them…read more David the owner was extremely responsive as I was planning for my husband's surprise 40th party. We did a lobster bake and David and Kara were amazing. Everyone said the food was excellent and the service was delightful. I didn't have to do a thing!! They set up everything, served everything and cleaned it all up and packed and stored all the leftovers in our fridge. They made it so simple and easy for me so that I could enjoy the party. They even served all the kids their dinner too and were so great with the kids. I will definitely use them again! Great food and great service.

I got married a few weeks ago on 8/20/21 at the Branford House in Groton CT, and Emily's catering…read moremade our event absolutely incredible. My family has used Emily's quite a few times now for big events... The first being my high school graduation party, as well as my dad's 50th Surprise party. When it came to finding a caterer for my wedding, there was no one else that came close to the quality / value / attention to detail that Emily's Catering provides. Food is a big deal for my large Italian / Irish family, so we wanted to go "all out" and Emily's made it possible. My husband and I were able to pick up to 8 different Hors d'oeuvres to be passed out during the cocktail hour (most places only allow you to pick 2-3). The appetizers were not only delicious, but also extremely unique and fun! Some of the apps even came with a mini cocktail pairing! For example, the quesadilla app came with a mini don julio margarita! How fun is that?! My guests are still raving about the cocktail hour. We did a plated dinner with four different options, Chicken, Steak, Red Snapper or Portobello Mushroom (Vegetarian). Again, most places seem to limit you to only three options. We just kept getting more bang for our buck!! The portions were extremely generous and the flavors were to die for. We also had a late night pizza station, as well as ice cream bar / coffee station. I swear, my guests were just STUNNED by the fantastic variety. Emily's Catering surpassed our expectations. Essentially, my family and I were able to have a "baller" wedding for a reasonable price. The investment was well worth every penny and my husband and I could not be happier. Rick and Cheryl are highly professional individuals and a joy to work with. They made the stressful wedding process easy and we experienced top notch customer service the entire time. We will be using Emily for ALL of our important events in the future. If you are debating hiring Emily's for your next event, do it! You will NOT regret it.

I definitely recommend Emily's for your next event.

My first baby is due in early November (2020), so while I really wanted to plan a baby shower,…read morethere was so much uncertainty during this time of COVID. Despite everything that was going on, I decided to move forward with it and host my shower at The Inn at Longshore. Having the event outside with an intimate group was the PERFECT decision. We were blessed with an absolutely gorgeous late summer New England day and held the shower under a (beautiful sailcloth) tent, overlooking the water. You really can't ask for a better view! The teams at the Inn and On The Marc were extremely attentive and on top of every single detail leading up to the day making the planning process seamless. Having been a former employee of On The Marc, I knew that there was no other food that I would even consider serving at my party (that also means that I had pretty high expectations because I know what it should taste + look like). The food was beyond delicious (wood fired mini pizzas, hot buttered lobster rolls, hummus bowls, gazpacho...just to name a few). And the desserts - WOW (I have quite the sweet tooth so these were also very important to me). Beautifully colored French macaroons, a naked carrot cake, cookies, etc. Not only did they look beautiful but they TASTED soooo good. The staff were excellent, top notch. I know how important it is to have good staff at an event and they did not disappoint! I really wanted to be able to enjoy the day and feel like a guest at my own party - which was exactly what happened. Hats off to On The Marc for making this such a wonderful and special day for me!

She arrived at our house about an hour before the start of the event and got set up very quickly, with everything needed - serving pieces, coffee urn, waffle iron, portable cook top for omelets, fruit salad served in individual cups and homemade muffins. We really had to do nothing. She served our group very efficiently with individually prepared omelettes, home made waffles, a selection of breakfast meats, toast and English muffins. Everything was delicious and prepared in a timely manner. No one felt like they had to wait for their food, and all was served hot and fresh. At the end of the brunch, she and her associate cleaned up everything and left our house exactly as it was when she arrived. I can't say enough about how positive the experience was.
