“Words can never express my gratitude to Laurie, Jim and the staff at the Fireplace for the superior service provided on our wedding day, September 21, 2014.  Plans for a destination wedding fell apart at the end of March 2014. After one dinner at the Fireplace and an email exchange with Laurie at the beginning of April, Matthew and I knew that instead of our save the dates being following by cancellation cards we would be sending wedding update postcards to our guests.  Some things truly are meant to be and our wedding at the Fireplace is one of those things. Laurie and the staff were professional with a purpose for perfection and kindness.  The staff were attentive, friendly and very helpful.  Laurie listened to all of my ideas and expressions and turned them into a reality.  All the difficult decisions were simple because of her.  Nothing was missed even with daily and last minute changes.  I can’t say enough about how amazing our wedding was at the Fireplace.  Guests haven’t stopped raving about the food, service and great atmosphere. The Fireplace went far beyond the call of duty making our day the most memorable ever.  The Fireplace surpassed all of our expectations!! The day was perfect and part of the reason that it was perfect was because of Laurie, Jim and the lovely staff.”

“I want to tell you what a wonderful job you and your staff did at our daughter’s wedding last weekend. The food was phenomenal–people are still talking about it!  Also–my brother-in-law spoke of how great the staff was–they were all so good and on the ball.  I’ve been to many weddings, but this one really impressed my husband and myself–even when it was our daughter’s wedding!!”

“Jim and Laurie-Thank you a thousand times for making our whole wedding celebration perfection in every way.  We couldn’t be happier with your level of service, your staff’s professionalism and of course, the food.  When we asked everyone this morning what their favorite menu item was, they quickly recited what became the entire menu from last night.  Thank you for your attention to detail and exquisite responsiveness over the last several months.  We started with a dream in January and last night you made it a sparkling reality!”

“Dear Laurie,  Thank you so much for all of your organization and hospitality for our wedding reception.  As we look back at our weekend extravaganza,  we never once had to double check anything with you at The Fireplace.  You got our vibe right off the bat with all our Kosher, vegetarian and meat eating diversity and never missed a beat on any of the million details.  We thought The Fireplace went above and beyond the call with courtesy plus the food was better than extraordinary. We’re still fantasizing about the strawberry shortcake dessert!”

I just wanted to say thank you again for helping us with Sam’s bar mitzvah luncheon. We all had a wonderful time, the guests raved about the food, and the tables looked great. You were so helpful in planning and executing every little detail, and we really appreciate it!”

“I wanted to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me make my daughter’s shower such a wonderful and memorable event!  Everything was perfect, from the moment I first met you to discuss the possibility of holding my event at The Fireplace, to the moment we all left with the last gift and vase of flowers!  Your professionalism, guidance, support, and warmth were all so greatly appreciated and should be commended. Your staff was phenomenal! They were all so polite and extremely attentive!  My guests even commented on this. The food was absolutely delicious, from the salad, to the entree to the marvelous dessert!  Wow! We couldn’t have asked for a better party. Thank you so much for helping to make a wonderful memory on the road to my daughter’s wedding.”
