Bittersweet Farm

ounds are stunning, the layout is thoughtful, and it has that cozy, timeless feel we were looking for. What truly made the experience exceptional was Abby, our coordinator. She was incredible from start to finish. She was detail-oriented, and so easy to work with. Abby made sure everything ran smoothly the entire day and handled all the little things before we even had a chance to notice them. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we could relax and enjoy the moment. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the venue, and we’re still so grateful for how stress-free the day felt thanks to Abby and the Bittersweet team. Highly recommend.

ng we needed during the reception. The bridal party and myself did most of the setting up (our choice) and our coordinator helped throughout the process and completed the finer details while we got ready the day of. Cons: The fish we were served the day of was not the same fish we trialed previously. The fish we trialed was a stuffed baked scrod and the dish we were served was a white fish with crusting on top. Unfortunately, it also did not taste well and smelled throughout the entire venue. We heard many complaints from guests about that specific dish. Also, guests were let into the dining area before they were supposed to be ruining the bridal party entrance and photos that were supposed to be had at that time. I feel like there could've been better coordination to kindly ask guests to return back outside.

were so accommodating and made even the most stressful decisions seem easy. The food at Bittersweet is absolutely incredible as well. We STILL are getting compliments about how great our meal options were and of course how great it all tasted! If you're looking for a great and stress free experience, give Bittersweet a call. They'll make you feel at home every step of the way!

much and not once did I feel overwhelmed about the day. Everything went so well and the venue looked absolutely stunning!!

rdinator, Victoria she was amazing! She responded to emails and texts quickly and was always able to help with whatever questions we had. She and the team did an amazing job with all the decor I had brought and really brought my vision to life. All my guests loved the venue! It was super cozy and just beautiful!!

verything went amazingly well that day and we cannot express how appreciative we are for everything that you guys did for us! We highly recommend working with them.

k to respond to emails and multiple phone calls. She made everything go so smoothly without any mishaps, what's so ever. Any guest who had contact with her during the wedding also commented to me, how lovely she was. Next, Bittersweet Farms' venue is just such a beautiful place with its Gazebo all decorated with beautiful flowers. During pictures a deer wondered onto the property and allowed us to photograph it in the background. It was like no other, just so sweet. The food was just amazing, from the appetizers to the dinner. Everyone kept boasting about how much they enjoyed every bite. We had bacon wrapped scallops, Mac & cheese bites, coconut chicken, and teriyaki steak kababs, for our appetizers and all were delicious! The meal began with a salad then the NE Clam Chowder, which was a hit. (I am true New Englander and can be a chowder snob) but this blew me away, along with all the guests! We had prime rib and chicken piccata for our meal choices. Everyone was very happy with how the prime rib came out, and you know how that can be a hit or miss with large parties, but this was absolutely perfect, and the chicken piccata was also delicious. For the rehearsal I with told to bring all the decorations for event with me. They helped me unload my car bring everything into the venue and basically said "We got this". I was a little nervous leaving it all to them but when I ever walked into the venue and saw all beautifully decorations brought to life! Better than I could have ever done myself. I was in awe with amazement. The whole day was perfect and we could not have picked a better place for my daughter and her new husband. I recommend them 100%!

tly as planned throughout the night. Everyone was raving about the food - which was fantastic and how beautiful the venue was. We were so happy we had our wedding here & would choose it again in a heartbeat.

ght! Everyone is still raving over the food, and the atmosphere was just so magical. If you’re looking to book a wedding or event don’t even second guess! 5 stars and beyond for you Victoria, your were so professional, extremely helpful and sweet:) cannot wait to come back to enjoy date nights at the tavern! Thank you! Justin & Jillian

to emails and addressed any changes to timeline, setup, etc. right away. Victoria thought of a few things we didn't consider, was accommodating, and worked with us to ensure every detail was perfect. She setup the reception area exactly as we had envisioned it, and used her judgment in a few places after a last minute decision to move the ceremony indoors. I really appreciated her handling those small last minute matters, and felt that her excellent judgment highlighted how well she understood our vision! Rj was also seen throughout the night assisting in multiple areas, from helping to hide myself and the groom before the ceremony and asking if we needed anything, to assisting with the buffet. We chose a buffet dinner and everything was delicious! Good food was a top priority and Bittersweet did not disappoint; our guests complimented the food all night. The Chef Carved Sirloin was a huge hit! Roger was our bartender for the evening and he was terrific and so friendly. We were so happy with all of the Bittersweet team who had a part in our wedding. Bittersweet is a naturally beautiful venue that in our opinion, required very little decor. They offer large yard games to rent that we had setup on the balcony inside with some cocktail tables and the guests loved it! It was also a great activity for the few kids we had in attendance. We had the best day, in a beautiful venue, with friendly staff ensuring our day was perfect. Thank you Victoria, RJ, Roger, and the rest of the Bittersweet team!

to help with everything on your big day. The inside is so beautifully decorated already, you don’t really have to worry about buying/setting up a-lot of decorations. I highly recommend this venue if you’re going for a rustic wedding

book at Bittersweet Farms as we just fell in love with the place, and honestly so worth it. We went to other venues, and I can honestly say that compared to those other venues that want to gauge you 38K for barely much, Bittersweet Farms wasn’t eveb half the cost and you get SO MUCH. Once we booked, we had 2 tastings (one included, but we went a second time to the grand tasting as the first one was far ago). Both were fantastic, food was delicious and sales reps there were super helpful and friendly. We were so thrilled when Alexis was our coordinator for our wedding. She made fhe process of getting all the food, service, details down. I never once felt stressed or nervous. Alexis made it so easy that me and my to be husband Ruben were worried that we were missing something as it felt too easy! Now to the day of the wedding: Legit, everything came out PERFECT!!!! Alexis had set up our centerpieces up so beautiful and perfect!!! (And trust me, I had a lot of components involved, they were difficult!). Alexis, when my bridemaids and I arrived, was so accomodating and was always asking we me and my bridal party needed anything (she even opened the bar early for us!). She made the ceremony so smooth, guiding all parties where they needed to be. All my girls’ questions were handled by Alexis. The ceremony was just gorgeous, their outside site is just perfect. Reception was fantastic! My guests raved about the apps! (I was too busy to have any). They said all food was delicious, especially the entree’s! (Which I got to pick 3 choices). Food was raved about even days after. My younger sister and her bf even joked about maybe copying us and potentially having their maybe wedding there! (Please do copy us! :D ) Thank you so much to Alexis and all of the bittersweet farm staff, to servers, to cooks, to bartenders, to set up crew. Everyone!!!! A big shout out to Yolanda (sp?). Did such an amazing job taking such great care of us!!! I can honestly say you will not be dissapointed with bittersweet farms, we had a 7 hour wedding but it went by so fast! Bittersweet farms is the place to go for your wedding!!! <3 <3 <3

process and also is a big reason why we felt like our day reflected our goals and personalities. They were willing to work with us on details large and small (everything from a custom food menu to letting us take pictures outside before our venue rental time actually started) and were super low-key about all of it. The chef Zach came up with a custom menu that reflected our family backgrounds, and the food was great. The space is lovely and so versatile. We were going for a laid-back, easy vibe for our day and everyone at BSF totally nailed it. Everyone we worked with, including our day-of-coordinator Alexis, was professional and lovely. Everything on the day of ran so smoothly, and we knew we didn’t have to worry about anything getting taken care of. Alexis was competent and attentive; she made it super easy for us to facilitate an easy flow for the day, coordinating with our DJ and checking in with us to move things along as we wanted to. We were consistently surprised by what BSF was willing to do for us. Come for the local Westport vibe, stay for the kickass hospitality!

een happier with how everything went. RJ was the most amazing day of coordinator; he was so attentive to our needs throughout the evening, and he was always prompt with answering our (many!) questions via email leading up to the big day. We cannot recommend him enough! The venue itself is beautiful and so easy to navigate for guests. The ceremony space outside with the gazebo was picture-perfect and our guests loved how the indoor space had the main floor and the balcony for them to explore. The food was delicious and the staff made it so easy to accommodate different dietary restrictions. At the end of the night, the staff and RJ had already packed up our decorations, etc. so it was easy to for us to enjoy the dance floor and time with family and friends up to the last minute of the event. We will be recommending Bittersweet Farm to everyone we know! Thank you so much for the best day ever!

late and some last minute changes with ease. It was a pleasure working with her and the other staff that day. In addition we received many compliments on the venue and food from the appetizers to the main course to the late night snack, we heard nothing but praise on how delicious everything was. In particular we liked that appetizers, drinks and a server were sent to the wedding party while pictures were taken. Overall it was a most pleasurable experience including the rehearsal dinner at Merrills on Friday night

ience for our guests. Lauren was the hostess extraordinaire. She was always available to assist with our needs during the event. RJ met with us five days before the event and created a new floor plan on the spot that he printed out for my set up 'crew' to see prior to the Saturday event. Their level of accommodation was impressive. The food was delicious! We had no complaints. Guests mingled and felt very comfortable. I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding or bridal shower.

d our energy while still being incredibly thorough and professional. She was available throughout the evening checking in, grabbing me drinks, taking microphones away from drunk uncles...you name it, she was there. We received rave reviews about the food which is rare considering most weddings serve "basic bitch banquet food"- pretty sure my brother ate 2 helpings of mashed potatoes lol. Seconds before walking down the aisle we realized I wasn't wearing my veil and RJ (who perhaps moonlights as a track star? haha) bolted up to the loft to grab it in under 20 seconds. No one even noticed the small snafu and the ceremony was beautiful. We were able to come back the next day and retrieve some of our belongings and again, they both couldn't have been nicer despite it being their annual food tasting and it being a crazy day for them. Thank you to you, Lauren, and everyone else for it being as perfect of a wedding as anyone could ask for :) We'll see you all soon !

calls and emails, and days prior our wedding he was the most attentive guide throughout our event. On Friday night for our final walk through he helped us decide all those last-minute details that only the venue can help you with. RJ was informative, sensitive, and kind with every one of his suggestions. He even found a table cloth so the bride and groom could practice their first dance with the feeling of a gown on. So thoughtful! RJ even made an appearance at Merrill’s for the rehearsal dinner to check that all was going well. Day of the wedding, RJ knew just what to do and when to do it. From the moment we walked in to Bittersweet for our February 2023 wedding RJ, the staff, the bartenders, facility were spot on and things could not have been more perfect. Our set up and their set up looked amazing. Whenever I turned around RJ could be found being attentive to the wedding party and seeing that all our and our guests needs were being met. The appetizers and meals were delicious. As the evening wound down and the tired bridal party hopped on the busses everything was left behind and taken care of by the staff. On Sunday, RJ was there again helping us sort through or party supplies even as he prepared for an event that very same day. Enough said. Thank you RJ and Bittersweet

timely manner and did everything she could to make our day go perfectly. The food was delicious and our guest raves about how beautiful the venue was!

ound tables which is what we were really hoping to use! We had a million questions and she was right there to answer each and every one. Our guests raved about the venue!

er planned a wedding, the team at BSF were extremely helpful and responsive. I felt comforted knowing they could provide so much which required less coordination of vendors. They are also knowledgeable on vendor recommendations to make those that are necessary easy to find! Pete and Tammy with Music on Wheels have done several weddings here so we’re truly seamless in putting on awesome party. Pricing was extremely reasonable after considering multiple venues. There was truly no question or ask unanswered. Lauren was an AMAZING day of coordinator and really provided support through the weeks leading up to it. Overall a dream come true and wish we could relive it!

uch that it was a beautiful worry-free experience. Our wedding ended up getting rained out & I was not upset at all having to move inside, it ended up being even more perfect. & intimate. We were also still able to get tons of photos outside once the rain stopped, so we still got the full experience. Alexis was our day-of coordinator & having her made me feel at ease the whole day. BSF takes care of so much included in their wedding packages & for a very reasonable price. I am beyond thrilled with my experience & cannot thank them enough. Also: get the wild mushroom ravioli. It's INCREDIBLE.

nds and family. Lauren and the entire staff were wonderful! We had a blast and can’t thank you all enough! We will be back at the tavern soon to reminisce over our special day 🤗

utilized the gazebo outside for my ceremony which worked wonderfully! Abby, the day of coordinator, was super helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly and looked perfect. She is super nice and easy to work with and truly cares about what you want! Due to my wedding being early in the day, she allowed me to arrive early and begin set up. There is also an option to drop belongings off if there is no event the night before which could be helpful! Definitely would use this venue again and am so thankful all of the staff worked hard to made my big day so perfect!

string lights upstairs - it’s so cute we barely needed any extra decor. Everyone was super helpful throughout the process, especially Lauren, our day-of coordinator. We decided at the very last minute (2:00 on the day of our wedding!) to do our ceremony outside, and she happily accommodated that. She set up all of our decor perfectly and made everything a breeze for us. Everything about my wedding here was so perfect - the food was great, drinks were amazing, and Lauren kept us on track and on schedule all night. Their wedding package pricing is also what swayed me - no other wedding venue that I researched came close to Bittersweet’s great prices! I highly recommend booking your wedding or event here :)

quick to respond. Alexis was my day of coordinator and she was great at making me feel relaxed and accommodating our needs. We did a lot of the decorations ourselves and she set them up the day of so I could focus on relaxing and getting ready. Our guests raved about the setting and food. Bittersweet should be a must see spot for future brides!

ur wedding coordinator Abby did a great job communicating with us prior and during the wedding. We utilized as much decor as possible from the venue and it turned out wonderful. The day was so easy going and stress free. We really had the most beautiful night. The food was great and the staff was awesome. We had an overall amazing experience and would definitely recommend and choose again!!

The food was delicious and and the service was great. The day ran very smoothly! Our coordinator Alexis was very attentive to all of our needs and made sure the day was exactly what we dreamed of.

nning a wedding was hard enough, but then add Covid into the mix. From food tasting, to meeting with our day of coordinator, Lauren, the day before making sure all my decorations were there, to the day of the wedding I couldn’t help but say great things! We had about 120 guests and no one went hungry! The service was amazing and all the servers were amazing. Lauren helped us make decisions, and the things I was unsure about I left in her hands when it came to decorating and I wouldn’t go back and change that if I could, she was with us all night, made sure all our needs were met, drinks were in hands, and even packed us a to go bag for the food we didn’t eat when we should’ve! All the food was amazing, from cock tail hour to dinner, and the late night snacks YOU CAN NOT GO WITH OUT! Couldn’t say enough great things about Bittersweet and all their employees!

glance and fell in love. Instantly we knew this was going to be the venue we tell our children about! From Kayla Botelho, the cooks, the servers, and we cannot forget Lauren Simons- our day was beyond magical. We have received raving compliments on the food, the drinks, the atmosphere! I can’t explain how perfect our night was and if I could go back and do it all over again I would. We are so thankful for bittersweet farm and Lauren for putting together all the decorations, because I have zero skill. She just knew what I had envisioned by the decorations we brought and it was GORGEOUS inside. Always so helpful on the phone, to the meetings, to the day of when I needed a little pep talk! Never let us go without a drink in our hand and made sure we were having the time of our lives. We love this crew and are so grateful to Lauren and the team at Bittersweet for making our day nothing short of perfect.

y answered any questions we had, and kept everything running smoothly on the day. All of the food was delicious; many of our guests have reached out to compliment the appetizers and the main dishes! The barn itself is so beautiful that you barely need any decorations. I can't recommend Bittersweet Farm enough!

gical. Every person was so attentive, kind and continuously checked to make sure all our needs were met. Lauren was our coordinator and was truly amazing. From our first meeting she connected with us and truly was able to capture all our wishes. She made our day so stress free and allowed us to just focus on each other. All of our guests have reached out to say it’s the best wedding they’ve attended. I am so happy with our choice of venue and can’t express my gratitude to Bittersweet Farms enough!

she never was upset with us for having another one. We got married on the hottest day of the summer. Bittersweet helped us to move our outdoor ceremony to the shade and recruited an arch and wine barrel for us as decoration for the alter. There was a golf cart available for our less physically able guests. The staff were so so accommodating. The bartenders were super friendly and skilled. The food was phenomenal. The flow of the night was flawless. We had our dog in our ceremony and, as mentioned, it was super-hot. The staff walked her around and put out water bowls. They accommodated a very picky eater with a non-menu item. The little things that they did were quiet and small but added up to us having the perfect night. The staff even joined us in a conga line by the end of the night. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. We could not be happier.

questions and really took so much stress out of the planning. The location, facility, and grounds were incredible with beautiful greenery and flowers. We got married and had the reception all on site. We even had to deal with a significant downpour of rain shortly before the wedding was to start and they switched us seamlessly to a very acceptable alternative inside. All of the food/catering and wait staff were amazing. Truly a completely professional operation run by great people. Thank you so much Bittersweet Farm for making our day just that much more special and memorable.

uests are still messaging about how great everything was! From the beautiful venue itself, to the delicious food, attentive staff to both us and all our guest during the event, and just how well they worked as a team to have our day flow easily without missing a beat! Our wedding could not have been any better, and we are so grateful to everyone there who helped make it happen! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an event space ♥️

a pandemic wasn't our plan but we didn't want to postpone. Bittersweet stayed on top of all regulations, kept us updated with any changes and really took the time to talk and work with us. They did everything in their power to accommodate all of our wishes and were so easy and pleasent to work with. The grounds and set up were amazing and exactly what we envisioned and the food was nothing short of delicious.

e cancelled. Fortunately, Bittersweet Farm was able to accommodate us last minute. They helped pull off a wonderful and fantastically memorable wedding. Everything was fabulous! Thank you to Katie and the staff for making this an unforgettable day for my daughter.
