Osteria Via Stato is one of my favorite restaurants and it was a dream to have our wedding there! Natalie and her staff are easy to work with, they have great communication, knowledge, and experience. We loved the execution of our wedding by them, the ceremony was perfect for us, it was dreamy in their gorgeous dining room, but you would never guess it was a dining room with the way they set it up for the wedding. Our private room was perfect for our party of 55. We used farmhouse style tables and it was perfect for us as we didn’t want a dance floor. The servers there cannot be beat, they are all extremely experienced, friendly and happy to be there. They went above and beyond to ensure that me and my wife always had the first choice of everything and always had a drink in hand. I’ve been to many weddings where the food is fine or not desirable, but the food here was incredible! Going into this I knew it would be good but I didn’t know how delicious all the hors d’oeuvres would be. We couldn’t just pick a few we liked them all! And the entrees were delicious, every guest felt full and well fed!! We got comments from all of our guests about how great the food, venue and service were! Everyone was pleased and you don’t often find that from wedding venues. We loved having our wedding here and love that we can return whenever we please to celebrate special occasions!

As a local photographer, I adore this space! There are so many photo opportunities just within the building itself which can be SO helpful in creating great portraits. The space doesn't feel like anything else in the area. Walking through the doors, you feel like you're in a building that has been around forever but being brand new, everything is so polished and perfect. The owners have been in the wedding industry for years and knew how to build the space for the perfect wedding day flow for guests. An overall awesome venue with great people running it.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Seven Bridges and it was truly magical! Everything was absolutely beautiful from start to finish, giving us the Winter Wonderland wedding of our dreams! Roisin provided us with tremendous guidance and support as we navigated through the craziness of wedding planning. She was always quick to respond to emails and answered all of our questions thoroughly. Jen was also extremely helpful with returning emails, assisting with our rehearsal, and making sure our wedding day ran smoothly. She was there for anything and everything that we may have needed during our big day. Overall, the entire staff was just amazing, from the day I requested information about the venue, all the way up to the last minute of our reception! The wedding packages provided us with options to be able to cater to all of our wants for our big day. They were flexible with some "non-traditional" aspects that we wanted to include, which was amazing! My family agreed that we chose the best venue! They told us how beautiful everything was and how the staff was impeccable! Our guests even expressed to us how it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! My husband and I could not be more grateful to Seven Bridges for giving us the best day of our lives! Definitely one that we will remember forever!! We strongly recommend this venue for weddings!
