McGovern's on the Water

Kathy, Joey and her staff went beyond our expectations to make our wedding as beautiful as i could imagine. everyone loved our decor we picked out, the food!!! the cake and desserts. we had a great time and our family and friends are still talking about it!! i would highly recommend checking them out. you can get married on the grounds there too.

We had the most amazing wedding here. The attention to every little detail is priceless. Everyone was raving about the food and what a beautiful venue it was. The ceremony was like no other. I could not have asked for anything better. It was like a fairytale wedding.

McGovern's overbooked our room and rushed us through my whole reception. Upon our arrival they approached us with an extra bill because they said we had more people than agreed upon. Not only was that incorrect and we had the paperwork with us to prove it, but they missed two place settings on one of the tables. The waiters never served my guests beverages which we paid for. We had to cut the cake BEFORE we ate our dinner and then they brought out the next wedding's cake halfway through our reception. They also told my DJ to play the last sone at 4pm even though we had booked the room until 5pm. They started changing out the tableclothes and chair covers at 4:30. After the wedding I heard from my guests that the waitstaff was rude and one even refused to bring out more rolls!

This family run business truly made my wedding the memories that I will cherish forever. We worked with Kathy and she was amazing. But, the person that really sold the entire package was the man of the day, Joey. I don't know what title to officially give Joey. He was a waiter, a perfectionist, a friend, a wedding designer, a touch of humor, etc., etc. He was amazing. He made sure that the wedding party, and especially my husband and I were stuffed the the brim. He let me see the hall with all the candles lit before all the guest came in so that I could have my moment. He create something that should have been on TV. The food that McGovern's brought out was never ending and delicious. From the passed appetizers to the flaming desset it was unforgetable. We are STILL receiving compliments. I cannot thank McGovern's and their amazing staff enough. I felt awesome and so did everyon else. Sigh...now if I could only redo it!

McGovern's and Kathy in particular were phenomenal!!! The service we received before and during the wedding was exceptional. She took care of so many things for us even ordering and decorating to our color scheme perfectly a cupcake cake holder because we wanted a cupcake wedding cake. She gave us so many extras at no charge as well. Joey also was great he made sure my dress was perfect for pictures, took care of us personally during cocktail hour and during the meal and made sure we wanted for nothing. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how perfect our wedding was from the ceremony on their gazebo to the food that was to die for and the endless fun they had during the reception. I would recommend McGovern's to anyone that wants one stop wedding they can do it all for you and don't forget any of the little details!!! If we could do it again we would choose McGovern's time and time again!!

We highly recommend McGovern’s on the Water for a wedding reception site!! We searched high and low for the best place and we found it…for a very affordable price!

Kathy and Joyce (the event planners) were amazing from beginning to end!!! They were very accommodating and assisted us throughout all of our planning stages. They are very friendly, approachable and professional!

Everyone commented on how perfect everything was. The room was decorated beautifully; Kathy gave the room a unique and classy style that our guests loved!! The cocktail hour was great – more than enough pass hor 'dorves. Dinner was amazing; plenty of delicious food. The cake was beautiful and very tasty. The service was impeccable.

We loved everything you did for us and our guests did too!!! Not one complaint from any our guests! The entire night went smoothly; everyone enjoyed themselves and is still talking about how everything was perfect!!

Thank You!!!

I was so pleased with Kathy and her staff. Everything ran so smoothly and above my expectations. I thought the room looked beautiful and food was great, of what I ate. Hey I was a bride, too excited to eat much :). Most of my family said my wedding the best wedding they had been to and loved the food and Mcgoverns. Even when we had some people show up that said they were not, Kathy took care of it. I have to admit at first I found Kathy to be very opinionated and pushy, but its really a good quality. She is a perfectionist that wants her customers to be happy and want thier day to be awsome. I really do not have anything bad to say at all. I recommend them to anyone. The cost is reasonable and seriously we got SOOO much food. Your guests will definately eat well that night and the flamming desert adds to the entertainment of the night.

McGovern's was a great place to hold both our wedding and reception. The location was beautiful, the service was professional and the food was excellent. The only negative thing about our experience with them was our wedding cake; thought it was beautiful it wasn't what we asked for. Otherwisee, I would highly reccommend McGovern's.

I had a small elegant wedding - 50 people- my huge gripe (and only one) is I told the planner (who is the daughter of the owner of McGovern's on the water, and in included free of charge) that I didn't want people waiting an hour in between courses as I know how my family and my husbands don't really know each other (or care to, honestly) LOL! But still we waited an hour after our crackers and cheese to get to the soup over an hour for me taking pic's while my family was upstairs, not in the pics! So as far as she (the included wedding planner) was concerned - she straight up stunk. BUT, the place was done perfectly, you get a LOT for a tight budget, but if you're looking to do more than a 4 hour wedding - this is not it.
Also, it was done in short time, she was good about me changing the date a few times AND the cake can come included IF you want or bring your own. They will decorate (they have picture books) or you can have it done by someone else - or with them! For people who have a tight budget or want to save money for the really good part, (HONEYMOON!!) but want a small classy wedding - this is a great choice!
