Saphire Event Group

Absolutely, 100% perfect! We chose this venue due to the professionalism of our coordinator (Katelyn Hill), the elegance of the ballrooms, and the overall charm. We honestly could not have been more pleased with everything - from the initial meeting and tour, to our menu tasting, to the way they set up for the reception, to the smoothness of our entire planning process - it was better than I ever could have imagined. Our wedding was the best day of our lives due in large part to the staff at The Villa.My husband and I highly, highly, highly recommend The Villa! If you're lucky enough to get Katelyn Hill as your coordinator, you'll be even better off!

My husband and I don't argue about anything. When looking for a wedding venue, the claws came out. Knowing we had too many guests (225) for the Sharon location, we looked anyway. They recommended we look at The Villa. We had a 1hr window with work and flew to East Bridgewater. As we blew in the door we were greeted by Angela Aguiar. My husband and I looked at each other and knew that this was where our wedding HAD to be. Angela was extremely easy to work with, professional and very accommodating. The day of the wedding was a breeze. We didn't have to think about a thing because it was already taken care of. The staff could not have been nicer and more efficient. They were always making sure we had everything we needed. The food is in a category of its own. Our guests are still talking about how incredible it was. Most people love to complain about wedding food, but not if your wedding is with The Saphire Event Group. Everything was cooked to perfection leaving people wanting more and boy, can they put on a cocktail hour. Every inch of the venue is clean and the staff never misses a beat.

Professional, Organized, Attentive, Fun to Work With, Responsive, and Upfront……these are just a few thoughts I have about our experience at the Villa. We cannot say enough about the entire staff at the Villa in East Bridgewater!From the minute my partner and I stepped into the venue, we were immediately put at ease and reassured that every idea, whim and desire we had could definitely be made a reality by the dedicated staff at the Villa.After meeting with Jennifer and Angela and seeing the Madera Ballroom, we knew without a doubt that this was the location that we wanted to have our reception. Jennifer and Angela immediately put at us ease with their vast knowledge and experience of all things related to weddings. We received nothing but great feedback and suggestions and every step was handled in a professional and very organized manner. The two were especially very tolerant of me, and my need to be very hands on and focused on the details…..yes, I am a self-admitted control freak! The Madera Ballroom at the Villa was the perfect size for our smallish wedding of about 90 people, but could have worked perfectly for a crowd double that size. The neutral colors of the rooms that the cocktail hour and reception would be held in coupled with the warm, dark woodwork, flooring and ceiling were exactly the look and feel that we had envisioned. The fireplaces at each end of the room were also a feature that immediately spoke to us. The Madera Ballroom had an enchanting glow about it that absolutely fit with the colors we had chosen and our plans to completely immerse the room in candlelight. The amber up lighting package completed the look and provided an additional level of warmth to the room as well. Since we were having a New Orleans inspired wedding, one of the very specific requests we had was to serve bananas foster for dessert. The presentation of this dessert, where bananas are flambéed in a sauce of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, dark rum, and banana liqueur is incredibly involved to say the very least! This special dessert presentation was not once questioned by the Villa staff…..Again, they were happy to make every idea or wish we had come true!Thanks again for the incredible service and professionalism you have shown us throughout our wedding planning process and execution!Christian Young and Joe Kulle

Our ceremony and reception were held at Saphire Estate. Sarah, our coordinator, was wonderful and we went with all her recommendations on vendors and the end result was more beautiful and went off better than I could have imagined : ) Looking through photos on the website you can see the grounds are beautiful but believe me when I say your photos will be stunning, I cannot believe how great everything looked on that day! Sarah recommended Groove Entertainment and Marcia for photography which I also highly recommend as they are also wonderful! Thanks to another suggestion from Sarah and 60 degree weather in November we held our ceremony outdoors and captured the fall atmosphere which provided amazing sunset photos on the waterfront!! I read ALL reviews I could find once we booked and before and want to reaffirm that everything was just perfect! The food is incredbile as all other reviews mention and the day went off without a hitch so I highly recommend Saphire for the service, decor, scenery, help and everything!

My husband and I were married at The Villa in East Bridgewater on 11/5/11. We were married in the Madera ballroom in front of a beautiful fireplace. The room has so much character. Our wedding coordinator Angela L. was a pleasure to work with. She was so accommodating and professional. Angela did an amazing job helping us to make our wedding day so special. The Villa exceeded our expectations. The food was wonderful and all the staff were so nice. The Villa also offers many opportunities for beautiful indoor and outdoor wedding photos. I highly recommend The Villa you will not be disappointed.

From the moment we walked into The Villa we knew it was the place that we wanted to get married. We chose the Grand Ballroom because of its elegance and the fact that it opens up to a huge lounge/bar area with lots of comfortable seating areas and it has a very classy and modern look. This was a perfect area for people to set and talk away from the music and for the kids to play. In the beginning we worked with Lauren as our coordinator she was very informative and responsive. Katelyn took over as our coordinator, her professionalism, vision and organization was amazing! Katelyn kept us on track with timing during the wedding and she made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything. We had a small issue with our table numbers and Katelyn was very gracious and quickly solved the problem. We thought the menu selection was great and the package pricing was very fair as well. The food was amazing the guests were raving about it! We had the ice cream bar set up for desert and it was a huge hit, especially with the kids…and my Husband! I would highly recommend The Villa!

My husband and I were married at the Villa in the Madera ballroom. We couldn't have asked for a better venue. Our coordinator, Angela, was such a pleasure to work with and she kept the day running smoothly. The ballroom is beautiful and made the perfect setting for our November wedding with the big grand fireplaces. The food was amazing and the staff was professional and friendly. We still get compliments from our friends and family on how beautiful our venue was and the amazing food. I highly recommend the Villa - it is trully worth all five stars!

It was my dream since attending a wedding a couple of years back to have my wedding at Saphire Estate in Sharon, Ma. The grounds are always kept beautiful, and the inside of the venue was perfect for our smaller, more intimate wedding of 115 people. Our wedding coordinator Ron Porzio was terrific, making sure we were completely satisfied with every detail. Highly recommend this venue for your dream wedding!

We got married at The Villa and it was spectacular. Our coordinator, Katelyn, was super helpful and patient with all of our questions and wants. She helped keep me organized when I was a little chaotic, and made our wedding look polished and kept it flowing beautifully. All of our guests had an awesome time and thought that The Villa was beautiful (and have continued to tell us so-even a month later). The food was amazing and the sliders with the shot of Sam Seasonal-huge hit! Not to mention all the awesome photo opps!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Villa, in the Grand Ballroom on 10/01/11. The all-around atmosphere of The Villa was absolutely AMAZING!! The staff was very pleasant. Our wedding coordinator, Katelyn, was extremely helpful, efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. The Villa’s landscaping provided a perfect setting for our wedding pictures. The food was absolutely amazing (my compliments to the chef and his team).Our entire experience with The Villa was simply WONDERFUL!!!We highly recommend The Villa and give it five stars in ALL categories.Aimee & Adam DaRosa

My fiance and I looked at 5-6 different venues before arriving at The Villa. From the moment we stepped into the building we were met with welcoming, friendly and unobtrusive vibes from the property itself as much as the extremely accomodating staff. The staff (specifically Jenn and Angela) were very responsive and knowledgeable and really solidified our confidence that we had made the right choice in hosting our ceremony and reception at The Villa. A lot of planning, correspondence and flexibility goes into the finished product of a wedding and that process cannot be overlooked. From soup to nuts, we felt that we had the support from The Villa to create the night of our lives.Both portions of the wedding were set in the Madera Ballroom (we found that room to have a bit more character and being smaller than the other ballroom, more intimate (which is always a good feeling to have at a wedding!)) Additionally, it offered the versatility to carry the distinctively different moods that a wedding ceremony and reception each create.I'd also be remiss not to mention how delicious the food was. We offered a cocktail reception (heavier emphasis on the hor douvres and stations and less on a sitdown / served dinner). From the lambchop lollipops to the lo mein station (huge hit, literally) to the ice cream lolliops there's no way any of our guests left unsatisified.The Villa gets the highest marks in all categories, and although it's a little bit off the beaten path (there's not a major highway too close) it's well worth it. If you choose to host your wedding at The Villa, you will be extremely happy with that choice. The Villa gets our 100% recommendation!

We got married on September 4th, 2011 at the Saphire Estate. From the moment we first visited Saphire, we knew that is where we wanted to have our wedding and reception. The grounds and landscaping were gorgeous, the location across from the lake was perfect and the inside of the estate was exactly what we were looking for. The interior layout with the couch sitting area, fireplace and the great lighting made it feel so comfortable and relaxed. The staff was extremely courteous and accomodating, and our wedding coordinator, Ron, was always on top of things and VERY helpful! We would highly recommend Saphire Estate- actually, we already have. Thank you for making our special day perfect! Steve and Natalie

We got married on September 1, 2011 at The Villa. It was truly an amazing experience. We were married in the Madera Ballroom and the reception was in the Grand Ballroom. They were both beautiful, I was so excited to know the we could get married in front of the fireplace. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and we had amazing pictures taken at sunset (which our coordinator let us know exactly when the sun would be setting). They took the worry out of everything. The food was out of this world and our quest are still talking about the fact that the appetizers just kept coming. Our wedding coordinator had so much patience and walked us through every step (Angela L). Never had any doubts that everything would be taken care of, and for a bride that is a true blessing. Thank you so much the all the staff at The Villa.

We got married on Sunday, August 14th, 2011. Saphire Estate was the first venue I looked at and I instantly knew, this is where I wanted to have our wedding. The outside area is absolutely gorgeous. The ceremony space has impeccable landscaping, a stunning pergola, and amazing details like the fountain...and you cannot forget the area by the lake which is fantastic for photo ops. The indoor space is just as gorgeous as the outside space. We chose to have the sofa area for our guests and it made for a perfect spot to sit and rest up for the next dance! The fireplace is a stunning focal area as well. Every single person that we worked with over the past eleven months were very professional, yet laid back enough to mesh completely with our personalities. Ron was our coordinator and I cannot say enough about him. Ron made himself available to me via email and phone calls, but was not intrusive at all, he let me plan our perfect day while being there just in case I needed him[and I did!] The food was delicious! We wanted to make a custom hors d'evours and Ron worked with the chef to make the most amazing coconut chicken with mango salsa I have ever encountered! We chose filet mignon and chicken marsala as our entrees and people cannot stop talking about how delicious it was! Day of the wedding, was flawless. The moment we arrived, I was highly stress[afterall, every bride is stressed on their "big day"] and the second I arrived, Ron told me to relax and helped put my mind at ease. They all were so helpful, setting everything up for us and letting us do our thing while being close enough that if we needed anything they were there. They helped kept us on a schedule and executed the day amazingly. All of our guests have said that the wedding was such a fun wedding, and they want to do it all over again. I honestly cannot say enough kind words about the Saphire Event Group, as they helped make our day more perfect then I could ever imagine.

On August 12th, 2011 my now husband Geron and I had our reception at The Saphire Event Group. We first chose Saphire because of it's overall romantic, intimate, and elegant atmosphere. We worked closely with Ron on the details for the night. The reception was unbelievable. Many of our guests traveled from out of the state and had never seen a place like Saphire. They were blown away. Ron was assertive, professional, knowledgeable, and sensitive to what we wanted through the entire planning process. He was easily accessible and most important to us, HONEST!!! The reception was everything we could have dreamed it would be. The food was unbelievable and presented in a timely manor. Guest wanted to order a second salmon to go!!! :-) The staff was almost unnoticeable. They were efficient and professional. Saphire allowed my guests, my family, and my fiance and I to have an unbelievable reception. Ron - we love you and could not have done it without you!!!!!!!! Thank you for making us feel at ease and taking the time to get to know us on a personal level as well. You made all the difference!!!

I wanted to thank you and your staff for the excellent experience we had with having our wedding at Saphire. The food was amazing, and my compliments go to the chef and his team. We were extremely satisfied and for days after the wedding we are still getting compliments from family and friends on how well prepared the filet mignon was. In fact, my mother was so moved by how many compliments on the food we recieved that days after the wedding, she actually went back and gave the chef a tip. All of our guests were impressed with the venue and the space and they all said that they had never been to wedding as classic as ours. We would recommend the Saphire and your services to anyone we know that plans a wedding in the future.

Saphire Manor (now called Saphire Estate) was AWESOME!! I LOVED my coordinator Maureen - she rocked! There was nothing for me to want for that was not done. She went above and beyond and I love her! I was very happy with my choice of venues. It was exactly what I was looking for. One word of advice - (this is for using ANY vendor) get it all in writing and stick to your guns on what you DO and DO NOT want. It does not matter if some celebrity inspired wedding book says there should be 10 people at a table, if you want 8 then stand your ground. It's YOUR day with YOUR vision. Be creative, but if fru fru and fluff (and at extra costs) is not your thing then let it be known and don't give in.

We got married at The Villa on July 16, 2011. From the initial visit, through the planning process, to the wedding day, the entire experience with The Villa was amazing...I will not forget what our wedding coordinators, Lauren DeVasto and Katelyn Hill, did for us as we planned an extremely important day in our lives. They made themselves available whenever we had questions and didn’t hesitate to accommodate us when possible. The grounds are well kept, especially the ceremony space outside. Our pictures came out beautifully! Most of my guests had never been to the venue and loved the cocktail and reception space. Everyone is still raving about how delicious the food was and the wonderful food station options. The staff are friendly and were very helpful throughout the night. We appreciate their hard work. We highly recommend The Villa and look forward to attending another function. ~ Lena and Andre Silva

My husband and I got married at the Villa on 6/11/11 and it was honestly the best day of our lives! Choosing the Villa was the best decision we made. From the second we saw it, we looked at each other and instantly knew this was where we would get married. Both Lauren and Angela made our whole planning process simple and stress free. They are truly one step ahead and knew what I was going to ask, or knew what I was trying to describe before I even said it! And on top of that, I felt like they were almost as excited as we were! The ballroom was gorgeous, and they made it look even better than we had envisioned. Our guests are still raving about the food, the entire atmosphere, and how smooth things flowed all night. I can't that you all enough! It was truly amazing. If you're still looking for a venue, you HAVE to go see the Villa. You will fall in love :)

We recently had our wedding at Saphire Estate and it was a dream come true! Everything was absolutely perfect! The staff at Saphire was superb. They went out of their way to fulfill every request and often responded proactively, knowing what we needed before we knew we needed it. The room set-up was absolutely amazing and our guests are still complimenting the food and its presentation :) Saphire provided a picture perfect setting for our outdoor ceremony and the pictures came out beautifully! The landscaping is pristine! We could not have asked for a better day! Two weeks later, we still have friends and family calling to say what a wonderful time they had! We are thrilled with how everything came together and owe that in large part to our venue! We would highly recommend Saphire Estate to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. Thank you Saphire :)

I recently had my wedding at the Saphire Estate. The ceremony and reception were everything I ever dreamed of. The people at the Saphire Estate are so easy to work with and very accomodating. The place itself is absolutely beautiful and great for an outdoor ceremony. The food was fantastic. They have a wide variety of food and they present it in a very artistic way. I highly recommend the Saphire Estate as a venue =)

The Villa absolutely went beyond my expectations. From the very beginning to the very end, my wedding coordinator Katelyn was there to answer questions, give me suggestions and take care of whatever I needed. The Villa is modern and beautiful and the food was incredible.

I got married in May 2011 at The Villa and had my ceremony in the Madera Room and my reception in the Grand Ballroom, and let me tell you, our day could not have been more perfect. The entire staff at The Villa are the most accomodating/organized group of professionals I have ever dealt with. My wedding coordinator, Katelyn, made the day go so smoothly and all of the planning beforehand so easy. She covered every single detail from helping us book a DJ to organizing the entire processional for me. I cant even describe how amazing The Villa was for my wedding, it truly is the most perfect and elegant location that you could even imagine. If there are any brides out there reading this, all I can say is that you NEED to go make a visit to The Villa and I promise you, you will want to book your wedding at that location that very day!!!! There is nothing I would have changed!!!!!

The Villa is such an amazing unique venue. I fell in love with it right away after my first visit. We got married on March 26 and it was amazing... our guests still talk about how perfect it was. Not only is the venue amazing but the staff is fantastic. We working with Katelyn and she couldnt have been better. She was very accomodating and friendly as the rest of the staff is. The service and food was great. Not one thing went wrong the entire day and it flowed perfectly because of the great staff at the Villa.

Saphire Manor (now called Saphire Estate) was a beautiful venue for my winter wedding. Our coordinator Maureen was absolutely wonderful and so helpful. She made the planning process and actualy wedding day easy and fun!

I recently had my wedding at the Saphire Estate in Sharon, Ma. and it was a wonderful time. The service was awesome and the food was delicious! Ron was a great wedding coordinator. I would highly recommend this location to anyone:)

We had my daughter's wedding reception at Saphire Estate over Thanksgiving weekend 2010 and could not have been happier with the whole experience. The groom is in the military and they worked with us as we tried to plan around the possibility of sudden deployment (which thankfully did not happen). Ron was terrific to work with - helpful and flexible during planning, and kept everything running smoothly during the event without being obtrusive. As my guests entered, they immediately felt welcomed with drinks and wonderful appetizers. The meal was delicious and served hot and the dessert table was so good that there was a lot of wedding cake left over. Comments about the facility were, "classic", "Intimate", "It felt like it was your home on the lake", "The dance floor was huge" (and constantly full). Most of my guests had never been to Saphire Estate for a Wedding before, but I haven't spoken to one of them that would not recommend it. I recommend it highly

My husband and I got married at the Villa on November 6, 2010. We truly could not have asked for a more wonderful wedding. Everything was absolutely perfect, and we almost can't believe that we were able to have such an amazing wedding at such a reasonable cost.Since we were getting married in November, we weren't too concerned with the outdoor space. The inside of the Madera Ballroom is what sold us. It has fireplaces at either end, with wood beams and dark wood floors. It's absolutely stunning. The fireplace to the left served as the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. We liked that the whole room had hardwood floors--it wasn't carpet with a separate wood dance floor. The floors add a lot to the whole ambiance of the room. The wood and the lighting were really perfect for a November wedding. I have no doubt that the room would be beautiful in any season.I could go on and on about how beautiful the whole building is, but I'll stop and move on to the food: in one word, DELICIOUS!! Even though we didn't include any upgraded options in our menu, everything got rave reviews. We only had one dinner option (chicken), but it was really fine, because everyone loved it. The few upgrades that we did were special add-ons (because we ended up with a credit when we decided to only offer one dinner option): little mugs of hot apple cider for guests as they arrived and ice cream lollipops during dessert. People are still talking about the ice cream lollipops! Now on to the Villa staff. Everyone who works there is so professional and accessible. We worked with Katelyn, and she was really a pleasure to work with. She was totally "on" all the time, ready to answer any questions, no matter how minor they seemed to us. Everyone there really knows how to plan a wedding. I can honestly say that NOTHING went wrong on the day of our wedding (as far as we could tell), and we owe that in large part to the Villa staff. They communicated with all of our vendors to coordinate the day-of setup, and everything went seamlessly.Really, I could keep writing, but I'll stop. The Villa is amazing. For us, it was truly the best day of our lives, and our guests had a wonderful time too. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!Laura (and Rob) Kintz

We recently had our daughters wedding reception at The Villa (10/23/2010) it was AMAZING! The venue is exceptional. The food is excellant. The staff is outstanding (our coordinator Katelyn was wonderful). Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff never skips a beat & they do everything to meet your needs. We couldnt have been happier with our choice. Once we checked the Villa out we never went to view any other venues....VERY WISE choice on our part. Our guests are still talking about the food & the beautiful Villa. They made our daughters special day even more special.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Saphire Estate a few weeks ago, and everything was perfect! They were very flexible to our needs and worked with us to keep us within our budget. The venue looked beautiful and so many of our guests told us how intimate the reception was (due to the lighting and set up). The food was incredible (beautiful presentation and every meal was served hot). A number of guests told my husband and I that they loved the food and a few people said it was the best meal they have ever had at a wedding. We worked with Ron Porzio, and he was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend using the Saphire Event Group for your wedding.

The Saphire estate is beautiful, i had the pleasure of having katelyn as my wedding planner she was absolutely amazing. She did everything i asked and a lot more. My day was absolutely beautiful and perfect. The staff was absolutely amazing and catered to my every need. I got so many compliments on the place the food and the service i cannot thank them enough. My husband and myself paid for everything ourselves and katelyn worked with my budget to the tee. Tahnk you so much for making my day everything i dreamed of!!!!!Ashlee=]]

Well where should we begin regarding our fairy tale wedding. From the moment me and my husband came to Saphire we knew that everything would be perfect. We got married on August 28, 2010. Up to this day everything went as planned. We worked with Lauren to make our day perfect. She was always there to answer question and always there to help an indecisive bride :) Her ideas and patience was greatly appreciated.My day was absolutely gorgeous. Lauren reccommended Pink uplighting and I think that made it a unique touch. Would definitly reccommend that. The grounds were gorgeous as we had an outdoor ceremony. We had a perfect day for weather. Everyone that came to our wedding has said the food was AMAZING!!! We even added a few extra treats: icecream sunday bar and sliders and fries...Who wouldnt want a slider at 11:00? As we said I DO and danced our night away we couldnt imagine a better venue and time. We have heard rave reviews regarding how perfect our day was. We like to thank everyone at Saphire for making our wedding a fairytale experience and would reccommend to anyone :)

The Saphre Estate is wonderful!! I had my wedding here on June 19, 2010 and I do not have one single complaint! Lauren and Noelle were amazing to work with. I must have emailed them a hundred times and they got back to me right away. The food was hot and delicious and my guests still mention how good it was, which makes my mom very happy!! They day was beautiful and we were able to take photo's outside on their beautiful grounds. They were so accommodating, I would recommend anyone to get married here.

The Saphire Estate was wonderful to work with. They were prompt and professional with responding to any questions or concerns i had. It's a beautiful venue with a blank canvas so you can do any type of decorations and it would look amazing. The food and beverages were delicious. They even worked with the picky people. The event coordinators are wonderful at making everything come together so you can relax and enjoy your special day.

My husband and I got married at the Villa at Ridder Country Club in May 2010. I feel in love with it from our first visit there. The grand ball room and adjoining cocktail room have a fun and modern feel but they have kept the essentials of a typical wedding venue. We met with Katelyn who helped us though the entire planning process. I found myself emailing her all the time for her opinion; she was so helpful I don’t know if I could have planned the wedding without her. A few days before the wedding we dropped off everything to be set up and were completely at ease knowing the Katelyn would be handling it from there. Just as we expected, everything was perfect the day of the wedding! They were very flexible and understanding when we needed to move our wedding date up four months because my brother was leaving for boot camp to become a Marine. They were able to hold a second date for us until we had spoken with our other vendors. The food was amazing, I still having people telling me that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. I highly recommend The Villa; it is a gorgeous nontraditional venue, with a great staff that made our day flawless from the start of planning to the last dance.

On Sunday June 29, 2008 we had my daughter 's Wedding Bridal Shower at Saphire Estate. I can not say enough THE STAFF and FOOD was OUTSTANDING. Our guest were so pleased and the compliments were unbelievable. I can not even imagine how her wedding will be. Yes we are having the wedding there as well. Why go anywhere else when you get treated like royalty. They go over every detail and even the owner John who is truly amazing comes in and make sure your day is the way you want it, not many will do that. Maureen is the wedding planner from heaven, Pierre makes sure every detail from food, decorating to our guest feel comfortable and Denise is a love to have take care of the special couple. Honestly, they go out of there way for you. One guest said to us "This bridal shower is like a wedding" and another said she took notes and has been to three this year and has never been to one as elegant as this. All I can say is Saphire Estate is a Five Star rating. We are so excited for the wedding in October. Thank you Saphire for making our daughters dreams come true.Thank YouS.ATo anyone who ever wanted a storybook wedding, this wedding venue is the place. My daughter Brenda had her wedding their on October 25, 2008. Saphire has an incredible staff. From start to finish there was not one mistake. My guest our still talking about it. We had family from very far away and all they could say is what a storybook wedding. The owner Jon, Maureen the wedding coordinator and the waitstaff were amazing. Lets not forget about the chef with fillet Mignon that just melts in your mouth. The grounds gorgeous, the hall set up fabulous and everyone from owner to valet parking a smile on their face and always asking what else they can do to help. I know as your reading this your saying sure a wedding without a hitch, believe me it was and I can actually say we were able to enjoy our guest, dance have fun knowing they were managing the flow. There time line was unbelievable there was no waiting between courses. I could write all day about this fabulous place, but to some it up, it wouldn't matter what type of budget you have you will still receive a storybook wedding, because of the service, dedication and how friendly they are. They will help you from start to finish and all you have to do is enjoy the day. On Nov.14, 2009 my daughter Kelly was so amazed by her sisters wedding she decided to have her's at the Villa in East Bridgewater. Kelly had approximately 225 guest. Again, another fairy tale wedding. Why, because it is the same owner and staff. No matter which venue that you choose the Villa or Saphire Estate you will be so thrilled, excited and happy that you made the right choice to have your wedding at either one of these venues. There is nothing that can make you happier than seeing the Bride and Groom and guest having the time of their lives.

My wedding was June 26th, 2009 a Friday evening with about 200 people and the Saphire accommodated it BEAUTIFULLY.The Saphire family and staff were beyond accommodating and did everything possible to see my wedding dreams come true. Immediately after booking the venue for my June 26th wedding i was given a big binder of all wedding planning essentials to help me keep everything organized! Lauren was my planner and truly invested in me and my vision for the day. I stopped by, often unannounced, with family and friends that wanted to see the venue and they always made time to see me and show us around. If Lauren was off, Maureen, the other planner, was always happy to answer any questions we might have with a happy attitude and awesome advice.My mother and I are very much "an fabulous even is in the details" people and the Saphire staff made every effort to make sure that every little thing was taken care of. On the day of the event, Lauren carefully made sure that our timeline moved along perfectly so that everything happened on time.Guests cannot stop talking about our delicious food! We had chicken statler, filet and a surf and turf option and even myself and my husband made sure that we ate every single bite!!! it was DELICIOUS.When it came down to days before the wedding, they worked with the remainder of my budget to get me even more of the little things that I had wanted, and assisted me in working with outside vendors to get the best deal for what money i had left.I cannot say enough good things about everyone working at the Saphire Estate, they worked diligently and gracefully and treated me as if my wedding was the most special one they ever hosted.I highly highly highly recommend Saphire Estate, both for their beautiful grounds and beautiful staff! Thanks to Lauren and Maureen and the rest of the Saphire Family!

We got married in May and we loved this place. My fiancee came to this place and absolutely loved it at first site. There is a beautiful lake where you take really nice pictures. The food is amazing. The staff is wonderful and always returned calls. Maureen, one of the coordinators, made our day go really smoothly. The price was probably the most reasonable for the quality that we got.I definitely recommend having a wedding at this place!

We met with Maureen at Saphire Estate, and it was the fourth place we had looked at in our planning process. Maureen was what sold the venue without a doubt. That being said, we also really loved the venue otherwise we wouldn't have used it. Saphire Estate itself is a good size, located close to the water. We did a winter wedding, so did not use the outdoor courtyard area, which is beautiful. Ultimately what we liked most was that we were able to do the ceremony there, as well as the reception, but they made it feel like two completely different spaces. At night, the outside was lit up tastefully and looks beautiful in some of the outdoor shots. The food was spectacular and they were very flexible. my wife's favorite meal is Thanksgiving dinner. Now, this isn't on the menu, but when she asked if they could do it, they said yes without hesitation. They even had us come in for a "stuffing tasting" to make sure we like everything. When the wine we like was discontinued from their list, they brought us in for a full wine tasting. Because it was the winter and they weren't fully booked, they even let us be a little more flexible with the times we could be there.The place settings and table arrangements were perfect and there was a lot of room on the dance floor. We were very picky about how we wanted the room laid out and where we wanted our table (by the fireplace). Although it wasn't part of their normal "templates" they made it work and it was perfect. The DJ had plenty of room to work and didn't intrude on the rest of the venue, and there was a special area for the cake to be displayed. The hardwood floors are beautiful and the room is very tastefully done. Some places are very overdone, but we were looking for simple and elegant and Saphire Estate definitely delivered. The bar area was perfect for before the ceremony and during the reception as a casual are to hang out. Upstairs, the bridal suite to get ready is a good size, and that is where we did all the group photos after the ceremony - although I do recommend getting outdoor shots as it is very scenic.Overall, the flexibility was amazing. Maureen is a absolute pleasure to work with, and we felt like we had an ally in her for the wedding. When we showed up for our rehearsal we found out that she was running behind because she had been in a car accident - she still showed up!!! Despite a snow storm and a car accident, Maureen was there for us. There are certain people that go above and beyond and Maureen is one of those people.

My husband and I recently had our wedding at the Villa on March 25th 2011. From the moment we walked into the venue we were extremely impressed and delighted at the decor of the space, friendly and professional service and all around loving atmosphere. Our wedding coordinators Katelyn and Jennifer made sure both my husband and I were comfortable the day of our wedding and the days leading up to our wedding. Their constant support during the planning process was greatly appreciated and their nurturing personalities left us in a place of poise that, “this team would ensure our wedding day was a success”. During my indecisive moments and times of not knowing what I wanted, it was with the help of Jennifer and Katelyn to create a fairytale beginning for me and my price charming. Thank you ladies for your ongoing support and exceptional service, our wedding would not have been what it was without both of you. I highly recommend this venue to any and every bride and groom. Without a shadow of a doubt I am confident you will be just as pleased as we were on our special day! Thank you & God Bless! Mr. & Mrs. Young

I got married June 5, 2010, and it was beautiful. Everything from the menu tasting to the planning each element Lauren was wonderful. It was more money than i had planned on spending, but it was well worth every penny. The food was delicious. And all the little details it takes to put a wedding together went smoothly. Nothing went wrong, and it was the happiest day of my life.

My husband and I had our wedding reception on June 18 at the Villa. We had our reception outside in the tent, and everything was perfect! My vision came to life with the wedding expert, katelyn. The tent is brand new along with the bathrooms and bridal suite. The gardens looked superb, accommodated by the new outdoor lounge sets. I loved the paper lanterns that lit up the tent. The night had a luxurious ambiance without the expensive cost. The food was delicious. All the guests were raving about the mashed potato bar. I highly recommend the Villa if you want all your wedding dreams to come!

My husband and I just had our wedding reception at The Villa on 1/29/11 in the Madera Ballroom and it was amazing! The Katelyn and the whole staff there we so accommending, friendly, and attentive. We could not get over the amount of praise we heard from our guests about the food and the beautiful decor. We highly recommend the steak and if you have the chance try an ice cream lollipop they are outstanding! It was perfect for a winter wedding! Thank you so much for making our reception flawless!

My wedding was on Saturday October 9th, 2010 at The Villa in the Madera Ballroom. We originally had checked out Saphire Estate in Sharon and was looking for something a little different when one of the coordinators had told us about their new property The Villa in East Bridgewater. That same day we drove down to take a look at it, even though it was partial done being renovated we fell in love with it. We were told to come back in a few weeks and see it when it was fully renovated. We did and immediately booked our wedding date. In the ballroom we chose we fell in love with the two fireplaces on each end of the room ( which we had our ceremony in front of one) , the lighting, and just how intimate the room was. I would highly recommend this venue, the staff is awesome and is always a phone call or email away! From our ceremony to the reception everything went so smoothly with thanks to Lauren!!!! Our guests loved loved loved the venue, food and atmosphere! The filet mignon is the best I have ever had and our guest keep talking about it :)

I just recently had my wedding in September 2010 at The Villa, in the Grand Ballroom. With no exaggeration, everything was beautiful and perfect. The food was delicious and the staff was impeccable. From the purple uplighting to the Tuscan table we chose, we had a perfect wedding. Lauren was our coordinator and helped us from the day we booked the venue until the day of our wedding. She even helped our photographer, giving him ideas where to take great pictures! We had so many compliments on our wedding, and even guests mentioning they would definitely think about having their own wedding there!!! I wish I could do it all over again, it was such an awesome night!!!

My fiance at the time and I knew exactly what we wanted and didn't want in a venue for our wedding. We wanted a new, stylish venue with a modern and updated looked. We didn't want a stuffy room with outdated carpets, curtains or chairs. We immediately stopped our search once we found The Villa at Ridder Country Club. The Villa had everything we were asking for and more. We got married in the Madera Room in front of a gorgeous fireplace with 150 of our closest family and friends and everyone had only wonderful praises about the venue. Everyone comment on the wonderful atmosphere and great service they received. We worked closely we Jon Saphire and Katelyn Hill and both were a pleasure to work with. They both know everything there is to know about the wedding planning process and were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We couldn't have been happier with this once in a lifetime opportunity.

The Villa was our only choice after seeing the Madera ballroom. The room was warm, elegant, and spacious. The services provided were extremely helpful from the open house, food tasting, meetings, and guidebook. Whenever I had any questions or concerns they were right there with answers, recommendations, and support. On my special day my wedding coordinator, through the Villa, was there to manage the vendors and ensure I had nothing to worry about, and it was effective. They were very good with timing even after we ran a little late from the church. All of my guests continue to mention how wonderful the whole day was and how lovely the Villa was. The food was amazing and we never wanted for anything. I would truly recommend The Villa at Ridder Country Club for any event, but especially a wedding.

We got married on 9.10.11. It was amazing. The Saphire was the first place we looked at and we just knew it was THE place. I loved the the amazing exterior, wood floors and the intimacy it had while still fitting up to 200 people. Sarah was GREAT! We started working with her about halfway through the process and she quickly picked up where our previous coordinator left off. She followed up routinely and let me know when items needed to be completed. The day of was amazing!! When we arrived at the Saphire I felt completely confident in the Saphire's and Sarah's ability to pull off our big day with ease. All of my "drop off" items were right where I requested and everything went very smoothly. We didn't even do a rehersal at the actual Saphire, but Sarah and her assistant were there to direct us when to enter the ceremony. We did a duet plate of stuffed shrimp and filet which was to die for. We received more compliments than I can count that it was some of the best wedding food we had ever done. Our dinner attendent was constantly checking on us (bride and groom) to make sure we had everything we needed. The add ons were great. They provide anything from ice martini scultures to late night snacks.

We had an incredible experience at Saphire Estate and would go back for future events. The staff was incredibly easy to work with and our event coordinator (Sarah Bauerle) was endlessly patient with us as we made our way through the process of booking and planning a big party. The food was great and the grounds very nicely maintained. The interior and exterior spaces are really nicely done and access to Massapoag Lake for pictures and for guests who want to take a break was a great bonus. I can't thank them enough for how they helped make our day so special!!

I am very pleased to write this very positive review of our family's experience with Saphire Estate and, especially, with Ron - our coordinator. As the father of the bride I found the entire experience to be extraordinarily professional. At the same time, I consistently felt that Ron took a personal interest in helping my daughter and her fiance to plan a celebration that was unique and reflected their wishes and preferences. Following the reception, our family and friends have flooded us with enthusiastic messages expressing their admiration for the facility, the food and drink, and the service.Thank you, Ron, and everyone who helped make our day so special.

We got married on November 20, 2010 and had our reception at Saphire Estate. Ron was our Coordinator and he was wonderful to work with. He never let a question go unanswered and was always checking in with us.On the evening of our reception, I did not have to worry about a thing. Saphire's attention to detail was impressive and Ron made sure to add some little touches that added to the event. Our bridal attendant, Jeannie, made sure that my husband and I always had a drink and that we ate, which we would have forgotten to do otherwise!The only thing that we were disappointed with was the bar service. We were not told in advance that they would not do a multi-alcohol drink (i.e. Long Island Iced Tea) or anything frozen/blended. It wasn't a huge issue, just something that we wish we would have known in advance. The other thing that was a shame was that my husband and I never got our signature cocktail. When we asked for it we got a watered down version.Overall we loved Saphire Estate and would recommend it to anyone!

My husband and I were married on 8/28/10 at the Villa, it was truly the best day of our lives!! I felt so lucky to have the guidance and support of the Villa throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, everything could not have been more perfect- from the service, to the FOOD, to the actual party... we could not have been more pleased. Our guests raved it was the best wedding they have been to in a long time. We loved our wedding so much and so glad we had the opportunity to work with the Villa. THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKING THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES SO AMAZING!!!

After visiting a couple of places, we decided to get married at the Ridder Country Club. I was looking for a tent option and knew this was the place for me. The staff was very responsive and Katelyn, our wedding coordinator, was very professional. My guests were completely blow away the day of the wedding. The quality and service were unsurpassed. I give this venue A+

We loved working with the Saphire Estate. Ron was our coordinator and his professionalism and knowledge made planning the wedding so simple and easy. The wedding was amazing, and ran flawlessly. Even the bumps that inevitably happen were quickly fixed by the staff. We loved the food, and many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they've ever had. The only complaint some of our guests had was regarding the bar. Many felt that the drinks were very weak, but this is often the case with open bars. We are very happy we picked the Saphire Estate as our venue!

My husband and I were married here over the summer and we had a wonderful experience. Our friends and family complimented the food. which was even better than at our tasting, drinks and the setting. We were able to have our cocktail hour and photos outside. Although the beach is very small it makes for beautiful, beautiful photos. I just got the photos back and love all of them. We had such a great wedding day and I am very thankful to the staff, specifically to Katelyn, the wedding coordinator, and the wedding attendent (who put down three different meals for me as my mine kept getting cold while I was up talking to people) for all their help. Katelyn promptly answered all my questions via email, the phone, or during a meeting. She made me (a nervous person) feel exceedingly calm about the whole process. I do have a few suggestions for anyone considering having their wedding at Saphire- make sure you have all the specific details related to the wedding in writing from your coordinator. There were a few things they changed the day of the event - but as I write this, my husband is saying "yay, but you had the best day ever and it was pretty perfect". He's so right. I loved our day wedding, it was beautiful and fun, and any problem was minute. Our family and all our guests had a wonderful time and we never left the dance floor. Again, I loved our wedding and appreciated the esthetic and service.

Our wedding ceremony and reception were held at The Villa at Ridder Country Club in July. Everything was perfect. The ceremony was held outside and we didn't even need to add anything extra because the venue looked beautiful - the gazebo, the white chairs, the landscaping - was all lovely. And the area where they have you take pictures is just beautiful. I (the bride), my mom and attendants were taken from the gorgeous bridal room and patio to the ceremony site via golf cart - nice touch. Our reception was in the Madera Room, which was beautiful also. We just had candles on the fireplace mantles and it was a subdued elegance, I thought. Everyone still talks about the food - how everything was just delicious - and it really was. From the appetizers to the salad to the meal (we had a split dinner - sirloin and chicken marsala - awesome!!).We worked with Lauren who was just super and very flexible with us regarding time of our ceremony to reception and our rehearsal the Thursday before the wedding. She contacted our vendors and talked and met with them beforehand to find out if they had any questions or what needed to be done the day of the wedding.We really couldn't have been any happier. We recently watched our wedding video and are still beaming on what a great day we had.

We were married in October. Saphire Estate was the perfect venue for us. Our coordinator, Lauren, was very professional, helpful, and organized. Our guests are still raving about our food 3 months later! It is a beautiful venue, with a warm, intimate atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

My FI and I knew exactly what we wanted in a venue: it needed to have a romantic feel and be modern. We didn’t want outdated curtains, carpets or chairs. We had looked into a beautiful restaurant, but it wasn’t going to be able to accommodate the number of people we were having. Luckily, we were able to find The Villa. The venue itself has been around for a long time, but was bought by the Saphire family (of Saphire Estates) and rebuilt into a wonderful new venue. It was so new when we went that we could still smell the freshly painted walls. The moment we walked into the Madera Room we both pictured candles everywhere and a ceremony in front of the fireplace, which is exactly what we did. It was the perfect romantic and modern setting we were looking for. We worked closely with one of the owners for the beginning stages of planning, but fortunately were given the opportunity to work with Katelyn as our wedding coordinator. Even my FI commented on how easy it was to work with her. She really put us at ease. The food was fabulous and all the staff treated my guests with respect. Everyone commented on how beautiful and unique the venue was and that they had a great time. There was a minor slip up in billing during one of our last meetings, but it was quickly resolved and was actually beneficial to us in the end. Overall, we couldn’t have asked more from them.

I had my wedding at the Villa on July 9th, 2010. My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams. Everything at the Villa ran smoothly and on time, and the venue is just gorgeous (it also helped that we had perfect weather for our outdoor ceremony). We worked with Katelyn Hill who is a master at her craft. She has a gentle and understanding nature, and just really makes you feel at home. I had some concerns at our final meeting, but she took care of everything and I was beyond happy with the results.A tip for future brides...realize that your contract is just that: a CONTRACT. Make sure everything you want is in there!Also, the food tasting is a great night out! I wasn't expecting it to be so glamorous and fun.The Villa is a great venue and I would not have changed a thing.

Breathtaking site. I love the water in the background and the grouds are just beautiful. Everyone was very helpful but the binder they provide for you is perfect. It gives you every last detail you could need to know about the site, what you need to know, etc. The food was fantastic! All my guests were talking about it. Absolutly delicious! Everyone was very proffesional and responsive to our needs. They help make our day perfect and memorable!

I booked this venue almost 2 years before my wedding, and in the beginning, it was a bit hairy. I had a different planner each time I called, and I found myself having to remind them of things that I needed to do. There were paperwork issues as well since my wedding was handled by multiple planners in the beginning. About a year out, Beth was assigned to my wedding, and from then on things went smoothly. She listened to what we really wanted and delivered. Once she took over, I felt like things were in control. I did not have to worry about a thing! The day was beautiful and everyone had a great time!

I recently had my wedding at The Villa on 10/16. The reception was absolutely beautiful. Our coordinator Katelyn was fantastic! She made the entire process go smooth and stress- free. I've had many people tell me that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to, and that the food was the best they'd ever had at a wedding! I would absolutely recommend the Villa to future brides!

Wonderful food! Wonderful look and feel! Beautiful, and the place was an integral part of our special day.

It would have been nice to have one person to deal with the whole time. It would have been able to lock into our rate when we first booked.

Saphire Manor on Lake Massapoag in Sharon is a beautiful venue.

The venue is beautiful. It was recently renovated. The food was not great.

Food was average for the price charged. The service was good. The timeline and planning were very helpful. The staff was always available to answer questions and they got back to you in a timely fashion.

Overall The place was beautiful and the food was really good however the responsiveness for the person I worked with was not good especially right after I paid my 50% and had questions etc. I work more through email and am very organized, low key and easy to work with. I was not obsessive or nagging or bridezilla in anyway I was definetly laid back and whenever I sent an email with a question to Ron who I worked with from Saphire he never responded even when he initially said we needed to set up a meeting. I would contact him for a date and time he wouldnt contact me. I had to email him 3 rimes with the same questions and timeframes to meet and then called twice and asked that he respond to my email and he still didnt. As the event got closer he did get better but I also learned how to work with him to get a response as well. He was nice when we met but setting up appointments he was not flexible at all. I work full time and it was difficult for me to get there during the week before 530 and he was never available to meet at or after 530 on weekdays nor anytime on weekends due to other events but i was willing to meet as early as needed on weekends or anytime after 530 on weekdays and I needed to move my schedule around to accomodate meeting with him. I also received a thank you card in the mail the day after our wedding wich I found unprofessionally written it stated it was nice "dealing with you". It really should have said it was a pleasure working with you or helping coordinate your day. Dealing with makes it seem like I was a pain but thats of course just the way I took it. The flexiblity was just a huge frustartion for me since I also have a child and am a coach for her sporting teams as well so Im very busy however i think if I were to pick a place again Id still go with Saphire. Everything went smoothly on the day, they didnt try charging me extra for anything, I had to come back the next morning to pick up some of my stuff which was fine and the place is absolutely beautiful everyone commented on how beautiful the outdoor and indoor reception and ceremony area was.

I recently contacted Saphire Event Group to host my wedding reception. After having a phone chat with Lauren, she asked several questions about my reception including detailed information about the caterer I wanted to bring in. As you can see on this site and in their brochure information they do allow outside catering. A few hours later I received an e-mail from her stating management would not allow for me to have an outside caterer because it was a "peak" month. I was very upset. Nowhere did they state that in any of their information and once they found out the name of my caterer and researched them, they did not allow me to bring them in. It's sad that a company only cares about making money off of you instead of helping you make one of the most important events in your life special.

this place is terrible. the sales people are dishonest. you cannot trust anything they tell you. the minimum spend changed from one day to the next, depending on whom you spoke to. I am a business person myself so I understand we are all trying to make a profit but the dishonesty here is shameless. they could not even keep their stories straight. As a fellow salesperson, I am embarrassed by shady sales practices. in the age of the internet, it is not wise to piss off customers. I will blast you all over the internet. bad reviews spread like wildfire and you will never know exactly how many customers you have lost.
