The Bethwood had an exceptional, friendly and courteous staff. Steve Reineiri was absolutely wonderful and truly amazing. They made our special day with friends and family a truly memorable one. Their hospitality, great food and outstanding service was truly amazing. The staff was wonderful, treated our guests with warmth and kindness. Everything from the food to the decor in the room was to perfection. My family and I would like to thank The Bethwood for a truly wonderful event, which far exceded my expectations!

The Bethwood was amazing. Jason was so good to us from the moment he gave us a tour of the place in the beginning, right down to the moment we were cleaning up after our wedding. He went above and beyond to make us happy and on our wedding day, was very attentive. All of our friends and family raved about the Bethwood and how beautiful our wedding was, as well as how incredible the service and food was! We would highly recommend the bethwood to everyone. Go see Jason! He is the absoulte best

the staff at bethwood was great. the food and the setting was "out of this world". the chapel was decorated beautifully......my out of town guests was "awed" and speechless. i became frustarted wiith my appoin ed guy, he apologzed and allowedd me to speak with his manager. afterwards, my appointed guy and I realized that i was becoeing overwhelmed. he assured me all would be fine and we continued to work togethre. at the end of the night, i must say my appointed guy was awesome. he made sure that i was happy and needed nothing. he did the same for my bubby. i love the bethwood and ejoiyed working with my appointed guy...

Jason was the manager I first worked with and luckily he was our maitre'd as well. He did a superlative job. All my guests and parents were so impressed. Everybody said that they enjoyed themselves tremendously on our wedding day - this was exactly what I was hoping to hear! Jason and his staff made it so easy to relax and just let the day unfold. Everything went so smoothly. I'm very satisfied with our experience and would recommend the Bethwood to anyone. Plus, the outdoor gardens definitely are important part of what made me want to have the wedding at the Bethwood - my pictures were gorgeous.

Outstanding!! Everyone cant stop talking about how beautiful everything was. The food was out of this world! Everything came out perfect! My maitre D, Jason was off the hook! One of the nicest and helpful Maitre'd you could ever want. He actually drove to the hotel after the reception to drop off a purse any my veil that we forgot and refused a tip! Ceremony was beautiful as well!

The Bethwood exceeded my expectations with their professionalism, timeliness, courtesy and overall customer service. Jason Baldanza was our coordinator and the Maitre'D at our reception and he did a PHENOMENAL job!!! The moment we met Jason, he treated us like we were a king and queen. He was there to help us plan our special day from start to finish and he made himself readily available anytime we needed him. Jason made sure that we had the wedding we've always dreamed of and we will always love him for that. The warmth and friendliness that my husband and I received as clients was beyond impressive. Even though they didn't carry it, Jason placed a special order for a certain brand of vodka that my husband likes to drink. It just goes to show you that The Bethwood will do their very best to make sure you have everything you want and need on your special day. The wait staff was present in the garden with trays of hors d'oeuvres and drinks for us and our wedding party while we were taking pictures. The food selection and top shelf open bar really helped make our reception THE reception of the year among our family and friends. We have received so many compliments on everything. The food presentation was beautiful and it tasted just as good as it looked!!!! Overall, my husband and I are EXTREMELY satisfied with everything The Bethwood had to offer. If you are looking for a venue that will go the extra mile to make sure your day is PERFECT, this is the venue for you!!! I highly recommend The Bethwood!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

We could not have been happier with The Bethwood. Every request we had they granted right down to a specific server for my wife and myself and they even brought in our favorite wine (which they typically did not stock). Our matre' d DON NEEB was great. He is highly experienced and made sure our wedding was perfect. We not only held our reception here, but our ceremony as well. The guests were held inside until just before because it was so hot and they didnt want our guests uncomfortable. Being we were two brides they also provided us with two fully stocked bridal suites. BOTTOM LINE THEY PROVIDED AMAZING SERVICE AND PAID GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL! I did not have to worry at all the entire event. Our wedding was magical!

Dominic was absolutly wonderful. He stayed in touch with me throughout the entire process and bent over backwards over things that I simply mentioned I wanted. The food was excellent. My guests are still talking about the cocktail hour and viennesse. The ice sculpture was amazing - coolest thing we've ever seen. The gardens were ideal for photos and made me fall in love with the location in the first place. You definitly get your moneys worth at the bethwood. many locations charge an arm and a leg for mediocre food, the same abundance of decor and the only thing they can say is that their location offers one wedding at a time. You know what? I didn't even know there were any other events going on and our ballroom had it's own kitchen and staff so nobody skipped a beat. I'd go to the bethwood for any other event i ever have and would reccomend it to anybody.

My husband and I had both our ceremony and our reception at the Bethwood last September. We worked with Jason, and he was AMAZING to work with! From day 1 he worked with us to make our wedding everything we wanted and more. I cannot stop raving about the Bethwood. The food was amazing, the staff was soooo helpful, and we could not be happier we chose to get married here. Jason was extremely accomodating and helpful. The night before our wedding, I called him (almost in tears) because our hotel had told me they couldn't guarantee that I could get into my room early to get ready. My bridesmaids and I were expecting to be able to get into our hotel about noon to start getting ready. I had hair and makeup coming to the hotel. I was stressed to say the least... Jason (who was in the middle of another wedding) calmed me down and told me to call him in the morning, and he'd work with us and let us into the bridal suite at the Bethwood early if need be. Luckily, the hotel ended up working. But knowing that Jason was so accomodating, and I would not be getting ready in the middle of the parking lot, made me feel a lot better. We could not be happier with our experience with the Bethwood. We will definitely be going back again.

Our best decision was booking our wedding at The Bethwood. Right from the beginning we fell in love with the venue and the service. The outdoor gardens (and the indoor chapel) are lovely, each of the reception rooms are bright, big, and beautiful. The service from both Steves was amazing. Leading up to the wedding, at the wedding, and even AFTER the wedding - always making sure that everything was great and under control. The food was amazing. The cocktail hour, entree, wedding cake, and the v-table. Our families and friends are still talking about their experience here (i.e. being asked if they wanted another plate of food, having their drinks brought to their tables). I can't wait to go back and reminisce about our wedding day! It was amazing and The Bethwood helped make all of our dreams come true. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE :)

The Bethwood did an amazing job hosting my wedding on 3/26. Steve Goodman gave us a great price for the amount of services that The Bethwood provided us. I even requested a specialty cocktail for the wedding and Steve made sure that I got exactly what I wanted. Dominick was our maitre'd for the evening and he went above and beyond to make sure that my bridal party and guests had everything we needed throughout the night. I was married at The Bethwood and the chapel is gorgeous. I didn't have to decorate a thing! My martini glass ice sculpture was awesome and the food was amazing. I really wanted my wedding cake to look a specific way so I gave Steve a picture and told him what I would like changed and when I seen my cake for the first time I couldn't have been happier. It looked beautiful and tasted even better. I would highly recommend The Bethwood for a wedding or any other event. The staff is great and so is everything else they have to offer.

The Bethwood was amazing! Jason was the most understanding, patient, and pleasant person to work with!! He made the whole experience completely painless (and I had a wedding of 600 people!)!! Everyone told me the food was amazing. My ice sculptures came out beautifully! I like everything about the Bethwood so much that my husband and I took our families there for our one-year anniversary! I will never stop recommending The Bethwood!!!

The Bethwood was a wonderful place to have our wedding reception. They were very helpful from the get go. As a do-it-yourself bride, our matr'd blocked off the reception room the day before so I was able to go and decorate the room. He also made sure my groom and I ate during the night, and always had food on our table throughout the night as we had requested. He pretty fulfilled all our requests including the details of our wedding cake. The venue itself is beautiful with two lush gardens with flowing streams and ponds and gazebos. The food was incredibly abundant as it was delicious. Many many many thanks to the Bethwood's staff.

My husband and I could not have been happier with The Bethwood! Our day was right out of a storybook of our dreams and we have no doubt that it was because of them. We worked specifically with Steve Ranieri. We booked it 2 years in advance - which means 2 years worth of phone calls. He never made it seem like we were a burden to him - even until the last minute of our wedding. The outside gardens were gorgeous for our ceremony and the inside cocktail and reception rooms were great. AND THE FOOD WAS PHENOMINAL! YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO CHECK IT OUT!

All I have to say, is my wedding was everything I could have dreamed of and much more because of Frank & Jason! Every little detail was taken to heart and everything was perfect...even when we forgot the flowers for the cake at home they made my cake look beautiful!!! Amazing out side gardens, especially in the winter, around the holidays, everything is all lit up beautifully!
