Bittersweet Farm - Testimonials

Last July my husband Allen & I were married at Bittersweet.  We could not have asked for a more perfect day.  The waitstaff was incredible, the setting was beautiful and the dessert bar was a total hit!  Just the other day someone told Allen it was the best wedding he had ever been to.  So thank you.  We were particularly impressed with the service we received from you.  Susan helped out at the rehearsal and we're grateful for her contributions as well.  If that wasn't enough, you gave us gift certificates for the Hampton Inn and Bittersweet.  We used those last week and we had such a lovely time.  We sat by the fire in the Tavern and were reminded once again of the quality of food, atmosphere & service.  Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make July so wonderful!  Many thanks.    -Melissa & Allen Towle (February 2010)

We can't even express how grateful we are for all your help, patience, and hospitality.  Everything and everyone was absolutely amazing.  We got many compliments on the facility and service.  Thank you again!  -The Lockheads (October 2009)

To all the staff at Bittersweet:  Thank you so much for all your efforts throughout our wedding planning and on our wedding day.  We looked at many venues to have our wedding, but now could not imagine recommending anywhere else.  When I first walked into the reception, everything was perfectly placed and sparkling, and the waitstaff seemed genuinely happy to see me smile.  Everyone truly cared, and it was greatly appreciated.  -Christie & Chip (June 2009)

To the staff at Bittersweet Farm: We can't thank all of you enough for the wonderful job you did at our wedding.  Everything was perfect.  It far exceeded our expectations.  We couldn't have been happier, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  -Greg & Christine (August 2008)

It was so night of all of you to make our 50th Anniversary celebration the event of the year for us!  The food was excellent, the service great, and atmosphere exceptional.  We had a fantastic day and will cherish forever the wonderful memories!  Thank you so much to all of you who made it possible.  -Mr. & Mrs. Boutin, Savannah, Georgia (August 2008)

Thank you very much for making our special day special!  You were so helpful and so kind.  Everything was just perfect.  Everyone did a great job and all efforts were appreciated.  It was a pleasure from the beginning to end.  Thank you.  Eleanor & George (March 2008)

White's of Westport/Hampton Inn - Testimonials

Dear Mr. Richard Lafrance,

The MCB-12 Seabee Association, Inc. has been holding an annual reunion for the past 30 years.  I have attended all but three of these reunions, and have been directly involved or have planned the total reunion package for this organization for the past 15 years.  This year, as you are aware, we held our reunion on 26, 27 and 28 September here at the Hampton Inn and our banquet at White's.

Of all the reunions we have held, of all the countless other military and civilian meetings, conferences that I have attended, the gathering this year at the Hampton Inn and dinner dance in White's was by far the finest one I/we have ever experienced.

On Friday evening, I had made reservations for 30 at Bittersweet Farm.  We went over our limit and arrived there with 56 hungry Seabees and their spouces.  Mr. Greg Nawrocki and Ms. Susan Gomes as well as the kitchen and waitstaff never blinked an eye.  The total team at Bittersweet handled our group in an extremely professional and courteous manner with attention to detail as if it were a table for four.  As we say in the Navy, Bravo Zulu to all of them.  Well Done!

Your Team at the Hampton Inn starting with Renay Santos, Donna Lord and Frank Lima as well as Don Gendreau, Moe Brousseau, desk and housekeeping were all dedicated to a fault to make all my Seabees accommodated, comfortable and feel at home.  It is very easy to see that they all are extremely friendly, consciences and proud of this property by the immaculate facility they operate for you.  Bravo Zulu to all of them too!  Well Done!

As far as White's Restaurant is concerned, no one does it better.  I worked with Chris to customize a menu for our banquet that no one there, including me, had ever had before.  Charlie and Joe moved the 190 "Chow Hounds" through the buffet lines quickly and flawlessly.  For the first time in my experience with reunions, we were all eating at the same time and there was not one single complaint.  Chef Arthur really put the finishing touches on the meal to cap off a totally outstanding weekend despite the weather.  Bravo Zulu to all of them too!  Well Done!

All of the management and staff of the Lafrance Hospitality Group could not have treated us or served us all any better.  They were all dedicated to a fault to ensure the total success of our event.  I would be hard pressed to find anything to top our experience with you.  I will be meeting with Renay and Chris to plan our reunion for the next two years at your facilities.  I will also send out letters to other Seabee Organizations and Veteran Groups telling them how you do it so well.

If you would Richard, please convey to your team at the next meeting, how pleased we all were with your totally courteous and extremely professional staff.  Bravo Zulu!  Well Done!

Sincerely and respectfully yours,

William N. Napert Jr. - Treasurer and Reunion Planner, The MCB-12 Seabee Association, Inc.
