Alpine Grove Banquet & B B Q Facility

I have never been so disappointed in my entire life. We booked this venue last summer for a fall 2015 wedding. In their contract it says pricing can change so we made a verbal agreement that they would let us know if this happened so we could plan accordingly. Since they said they would do this for us we continued our business with them. After going to a tasting and not liking a few items I went to change our original menu around and noticed the food and prices had changed so I emailed them to set up a meeting. They said we could set up a meeting and then never got back to us about a good date and time so my fiancé went in to speak with them. We thought we would be able to get our original menu and pricing back but since we invited more people than we estimated that original day we met they said the new pricing has to stick. We felt so deceived at this point and were both nervous to have our most special day with people running the show who have lied to us and broke our agreement that we just didn’t know what they could do to us on our wedding day. Not wanting to take any chances we asked for our last payment back, we sent this payment on March 30,2015 and contacted them about the changes the second week of April, with it only being two weeks and them breaking our contract we thought they would understand. Their contract says no refunds but we thought since they broke our contract they would make an exception, but we were wrong. I emailed them exactly a week ago today asking them to please rethink their decision and still have heard nothing back. Now we have to re plan the greatest day of our lives in less than five months under so much stress and sadness and not to mention losing money from the other vendors already booked as well as the 1500.00 here. I ask you please to not make the same decision we did and have your wedding with people who will do many thing to make your day one to remember in a positive way!

The real bargain being the few holidays where the banquet hall is open to the general public BY RESERVATION– Mother’s Day, Father’s Day. Easter, etc. The Thanksgiving buffet was hot, plentiful, delicious with homemade turkey, ham. whipped potatoes, macaroni & cheese, fish chowder, salad, veggies, desserts, etc. $ 20 per person /​$ 10 kids — cash only please but they did do a credit card transaction for someone not in the know. There are three seatings 12, 1 & 2 p.m. Cash bar available. A homey atmosphere for a large hall — similar to a really good church supper. Cannot beat it for the money.

I would have given this place 5 stars but I’m a little irked by the catering. I had my wedding there in the fall and I got 2 bites of roast beef the entire night. For $ 3,500 for food, I would have expected them to alert the bride when they were clearing the buffet or at least had someone put aside a plate for me. I specifically ordered an hors d’œuvre that I was really looking forward to eating but was so nervous before the ceremony that I ended up getting nothing. That’s a lot of money for food that I didn’t get to touch! When I contacted them to address this issue, they blamed me for not getting anything to eat and said I should have expected that. Also, the Pavilion building has no A/​C (which I did know about before and tried to plan for) and it turned out to be such a hot night, I ended up sweating through my wedding dress and had to have it cleaned 6 times. So keep that in mind when choosing the building you want.

Like Allison, I was at Alpine Grove for a wedding reception (in fact, the SAME wedding reception! Oh, the first of our future Unilocaling excursions together!) I really enjoyed my entire experience there, I won’t reiterate everything Allison said, so here are the things I will add… there were a couple awkward «ramps» in various doorways that I consistently tripped over. Slightly embarassing. The meatballs were fantastic. Actually, all the food was fantastic. Plentiful. Really great staff. Nice job!

A delightful little place in the woods for a rustic wedding reception.
Though I may be spoiled by the glitz and glamour of New York City, there is something about the slight antiquated style of this place that I found absolutely charming and, almost, homey.
Consisting of two main buildings, Alpine Grove is surrounded by, well, a grove! (So it’s not just a clever name…) The pines certainly outnumbered any sort of alpine plant. (Oh, I just had to get technical, didn’t I?) Still towering majestically over the buildings and surrounding ponds and forest, I felt like I was being nestled into a secret forest party that no one else could find…
The building I attended the wedding reception in was absolutely ample in space, fitting 9 large guest tables, a sweetheart table, an appetizers table, a buffet, the dance floor, gift table, and DJ. *phew* The lighting was ambient, and the bar in the back was straight country, glowing in dark, shiny wood.
The staff was genuinely friendly, accommodating, and on their game consistently.
And can I hear a rousing cheer for $ 4.25 White Russians? My goodness, and I thought an $ 8 one in NYC was a bargain! (Hello, New Hampshire prices…)
A magical setting nestled in the forest with many wonderful memories. The folks at Alpine Grove really made it special for the bride and groom, as well as all of the guests.
