I had my wedding reception here in September and I can not say enough great things about my experience. Victoria and SEG made the process of wedding planning SO smooth. Victoria was always quick to respond with a thorough answer. She gave amazing recommendations from decor to vendors. She was also beyond helpful on our actual wedding day and had every last detail covered. We had so much fun planning our wedding with her! The venue itself is beautiful and right on the lake and the food delicious. I highly recommend to anyone in need of a wedding venue! Reviewed on 05-01-2024

We were married on 8.11.23! Victoria and the whole team at Sapphire Group were so amazing on the day of our wedding and the days leading up to it. I had a lot of questions, and they were very responsive each time. We got married the The Lakehouse, and the views were amazing. The food was incredible and people still talk about it! The vibe was calm and their decor has really come along, it went right along with my style. I know they are still renovating, so I am sure it will be even more amazing in the coming years. We wish we could do it all over again! :) Reviewed on 31-10-2023

Would definitely recommend working with this amazing venue to anyone who wants an unexpected beautiful lakeside venue tucked in a tiny town. We can’t say enough good things about Saphire Event Group and their work with the Lakehouse. The venue was bought by SEG early on in our planning process which made us nervous. However, from our initial planning meeting earlier this year through our wedding day we had such a pleasant experience working with the whole team! Specific shout out for Victoria - she handled all of our questions and concerns in a timely manner! We felt so supported by her and she was very prompt and friendly in all responses to our many questions during planning. After the big day, which we LOVED, we got so many compliments and positive comments from our family and friends on the venue as a whole. 10/10 would recommend! Reviewed on 01-10-2023

From myself and my husband, if you visit this venue and fall in love like we did, jump in with both feet! They even changed companies mid-year when we were still planning with them and they did their best to make the transition seamless. Victoria especially is one of the best humans I've ever met. She helped ease our anxiety, gave us advice and validation, and went above and beyond to make sure our day was what we wanted even with a few wrenches thrown in the works (like the venue's first tornado warning!).

We had an incredible experience with Sapphire Event Group and we loved having our wedding at The Lakehouse! We planned our wedding in 7 months and the entire team at Sapphire was so helpful throughout the whole process. We were so impressed with how much they modernized the venue in such a short period of time after closing on the property!

Cannot say enough positive about The Lakehouse and my experience with Victoria and all of the staff! My wife and I had our reception for our wedding in July and it was perfect!The planning with Victoria, tasting with the chef for meal options and reviewing all of the details was effortless. Myself and my wife have been engaged since 2020 and finally we were able to have our dream wedding at The Lakehouse. I can't say enough positive about how the staff supported us and made our wedding such a special day.In terms of the actual wedding day we had been warned by other that \"It will go by too fast\" \"you won't have enough time to do everything\". Our experience at The Lakehouse was the exact opposite! We did have a five hour reception and although it flew by we never felt rushed. Our bridal attendant was BEYOND amazing! She made sure my wife was ready, organized and kept all of the bridal party, parents and myself happy. Any request was carried out immediately and she was attentive to every detail.The food? AMAZING, we went with both a chicken and a steak option and to this day it still stands at the best steak of my life! The guests couldn't stop telling us that the food was incredible and some of the best food they had ever had at a wedding!Victoria led the charge and kept amazing communication with our vendors and of course us! We never felt rushed throughout the evening and had a clear plan for what was next.If there is any doubt in your mind about going here for a wedding, event or party, take a look at the property!! Our guests are still commenting how amazing the view was, right on the water and amazing gardens!Thank you to all of the staff that supported us and made our day amazing! Reviewed on 06-08-2023

Had our ceremony and reception at Lakeside Villa Summer of 2022. We loved the venue! Our guests were very happy with the food, drinks, and setting. We had a beautiful sunset over the lake that could be seen through the big windows during the reception. The lake, dock, and greenery was perfect for photos. We are thankful we chose a package that included a list of vendors to choose between. It made the process less overwhelming only having to choose between a couple vendors and knowing they are at least partially paid for already through the venue package payment. Amanda, our event planner, was so friendly and supportive during the planning process and at the wedding. She gave us lots of honest advice when planning and was able to accommodate and be flexible with last minute requests. She seemed comfortable and supportive working with a same gender couple and planning an interfaith ceremony. She genuinely seemed happy for us and we couldn't have done it with out her. Tricia, the day of coordinator, got things done timely and efficiently, though her strict nature did cause some anxiety on the wedding day. Overall we are very happy that we chose Lakeside Villa for our ceremony and reception and would highly recommend it to others. Reviewed on 05-05-2023

Working with Amanda made planning a wedding in 5 months straight forward, easy, and overall stress free. Our ceremony was held in the garden, the lush grass, water views, and gorgeous perennial flowers being such natural beauty to the table no enhancements are necessary to make the space feel special and being dog-friendly we were able to incorporate our dog into the wedding party. Our reception was held in the lakeside ballroom which provided gorgeous panoramic views of the water and lots of natural lighting set the feel for a relaxed fun-filled celebration.

We had a long engagement, and were able to attend multiple open houses at Lakeside Villa prior to our wedding.

The response cards did not arrive as we ordered, which Amanda told us about right away and gave us the option to reorder, which we did. Amanda sent us the updated proofs of the response card, but it took a lot of back and forth before the typos were corrected.Overall, we are very happy with choosing Lakeside Villa as our wedding venue.

It took a lot of the stress out of the whole process. Trisha was wonderful as the event planner during our wedding. She made sure we were where we were supposed to be, when we were supposed to be there. I would highly recommend having your wedding at the Monponsett Inn! Reviewed on 29-05-2017
Melissa W(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-08-2018 Poor customer service right from the beginning when attempting to hold a date. Was told they would \"hold\" a date and then had another couple interested and told them they would \"hold\" it for them as well. Gave them weeks to decide and when they finally did, they were given the date over me. The military and weather are big deciding factors for this venue on who gets first pick on a date, regardless if you inquired first. Can't imagine how the rest of the process would go if this was an issue from the start. No thanks! Beware! Reviewed on 19-02-2017
Kerri Giagrando(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2016 This venue was perfect from the day we went and looked at it two years ago. Amanda the wedding coordinator is fantastic. The packages are awesome they make everything so easy for you. Between the limo and the flowers and the food choices its all in one place and you don't have to panic about finding a million different vendors. We chose our own DJ so we were able to get a credit towards our price which was fantastic. You can email the venue and less then a couple hours later you have an answer from Amanda. The setting outside for the ceremony is GORGEOUS! The lake and new fountain make the perfect back drop for your photos. The food was fantastic and everything flowed perfectly! I would give this venue 10 stars. The prices are so affordable for people on a budget and you get a fantastic wedding experience! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thank you Monponsett for making this a day to remember! Reviewed on 26-06-2016
Kellie Coughlin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-11-2015 After going the a bunch of other venues and leaving with sticker shock...a friend told us to go take a look at Monponsett Inn since they had their reception there. It is a little bit of a drive to get there...but it's worth it! Amanda was great from day one. She answered all of my questions super quick and took care of everything. Their wedding packages include pretty much everything you need with options to upgrade. The day of the wedding everything went smooth. I didn't have to think about anything. They let me know where to be and what needed to be done and at what time so I wasn't worried about it and could hang out with my guests longer. My only regret is not having a longer reception! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a fun wedding at a beautiful location without breaking the bank. Reviewed on 10-12-2015
marina soucy(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-10-2015 Where to begin.....Both my self and the groom could not be happier with the decision we made of getting married at the Monponsett Inn. In comparison to other wedding venues the Monponsett Inn passes other venues in all categories in our opinion! The venue is beautiful inside and out. The lake front views are gorgeous as well as the the ball room for the reception. The staff was very helpful and polite, the food was like no other, guests were raving about the quality and taste of both the appetizers as well as the meal. Also the bartenders worked with me prior to the wedding to help mix up a signature drink to help tie in my fall themed wedding. But MOST IMPORTANT person at the Monponsett Inn that you will work with what feels like side by side is the GM Amanda. SHE WAS AMAZING TO WORK WITH!! She made me feel as though I was the only bride that she was working with. Any thing that I requested she some how made it happen. If it wasn't something they normally do it wasn't a no or we don't do that it was always, let me figure it out and get back to you on how we CAN get it done and she did! Whenever Amanda said she would do something, she did it no matter how big or small. I knew I could count on Amanda. Even to the point that I didn't want to email her on a holiday because I knew she would get back to me that same day...and she did! It seems as though not much upsets Amanda or gets her sweating and that is someone you need to have by your side during this very stressful process! Amanda was defiantly the MVP of my wedding planning process! Amanda is worth her weight in GOLD! Reviewed on 20-10-2015

sboydlmt (bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2014 When my limo arrived we were greeted and brought inside. They checked to make sure my groom couldn't see me. They made sure everyone was lined up appropriately. Before my ceremony i got to see the ballroom. It was beautiful! The set up was perfect and they even used there own creative touches for some of the things i had left over! My day was expected to be a rainy day but luckily the sun let up enough for a beautiful 4:30 ceremony and we even had time to take sun set pictures before the rain hit. Amanda walks behind you so that your train doesn't get caught and brings you to the arch where you would start walking down the isle. That was great because my dress was huge and hard to walk in. Our reception overall went smoothly, the food was great i didn't get to eat much obviously because what bride does ;) The only thing that was a bummer is we had 25 people not show up which means 25 meals we paid for. My husband asked for them to give me chicken tenders through out the night so i wouldn't pass out they agreed but no chicken tenders (which to me wasn't a huge deal just would of been nice) they did give us a small to go box at the end though. We also didn't get to have a piece of our wedding cake other than when we fed each other a small piece. The cake also wasn't announced when they brought it out. At the end my husband went to ask them to make up a piece, there were a bunch of untouched pieces of cake in the trash. They told my husband they didn't have any left ... he was extremely disappointed because it would of been nice for us to have gotten some or they had thought to ask if we wanted a piece packed away besides our top tier. So overall our experience was amazing Amanda made sure things ran smoothly. Just the food service lacked a bit. Reviewed on 14-10-2014

Abby DeAngelis(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-05-2013 We had the perfect wedding at the Monponsett Inn. We chose the Monponsett Inn for it's combination wedding package which includes everything except the officiant and the photographer. We are from Ohio, and getting married near the Bride's family, and the Monponsett package made everything much more simple than it would've been anywhere else, and even though it rained on our wedding day, the staff was nothing but helpful and kind (even offering to towel off our seats for our outdoor ceremony during breaks in the storm). The windy/wet wedding was a little quirky, but it was definitely unique, and we wouldn't trade it for the world (plus it made the sweating during the dancing later much less noticeable, haha). The whole place was beautiful, right on the lake, and the cost was very reasonable compared to our pricing out of the individual pieces that go into the wedding. Reviewed on 27-08-2013

Jules Cote(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-10-2012 Ultimate, our wedding was unbelieveable & as perfect as could be. The Staff at the Monponsett Inn, including Gigi & Amanda, did a wonderful job making all our plans into a reality. The road to get there was a bit rocky, with our orginal Monponsett Inn coordinator first emphasizing that our wedding could be as personalized as we would like & then balking at every personalization we requested: a sweetheart table instead of a head table, self-serve cupcakes instead of table delivery, airplane escort cards, a memorial candle to the side of the wedding ceremony. There were also quite a few miscommunications & a seemingly amazing forgetfulness for important details, such as there was no mother of the bride. However, as soon as the event manager received notification of our frustration with service, she took over & graced us with an uncomparable level of service that far overshadowed the frustration we had previously felt. So ultimately, we would refer people to this venue & recommend that Amanda be the point person to deliver a wedding of your dreams. Reviewed on 10-03-2013
