  • Terrible experience at the Spinning Wheel

    I recently had my wedding at The Spinning Wheel, and it was a complete disappointment. The service was appalling from the start. Bar lines were extremely long (over 30 minutes) and coffee wasn't served to all tables. It was honestly a hot mess from start to finish. The most upsetting part of the experience, however, was the behavior of the owner. When we expressed our concerns about the service , he was rude, dismissive, and made us feel as though we were an inconvenience. Rather than offering an apology or any attempt to rectify the situation, he acted indifferently, which only made a bad situation worse. I have emails and photos documenting the issues with both the service and the food, and several guests can verify the poor quality of the event. I would strongly advise anyone considering The Spinning Wheel to look elsewhere — my wedding day was marred by this venue’s lack of professionalism and the owner’s rude attitude.

    The Spinning Wheel made our wedding absolutely perfect. From the beginning of the process to the wedding day, Katlyn and her Staff were so attentive, professional and friendly. They made all my dreams come true. The food was AMAZING, the wait staff efficient and attentive, the vibe was awesome. Everyone had a blast and said it was the best wedding ever. I had the best experience at The Spinning Wheel!

    Our experience with The Spinning Wheel could not have been better. My husband and I were looking for something on the smaller side that could still accommodate our large families, something elegant yet laid back, and something with that New England charm. The venue fit perfectly! It’s a beautiful space, both the interior and exterior. We met with Katlyn from the beginning and she was truly the easiest coordinator to work with. Having met a few others during our search for the venue, we immediately liked Katlyn’s professional yet still calm and “not pushy” approach. All communication was very clear and Katlyn responded to all questions in a timely manner. We brought in some extra decorations and Katlyn was extremely helpful in executing our vision and making sure everything was set up just as we asked. As the day of the wedding approached, we saw there was a chance of rain. Multiple options were offered and Katlyn let us take a chance of having the ceremony outside. Last minute, the ceremony had to be moved under the tented patio yet this was not a problem at all. We actually really enjoyed the ceremony in this location! When it began to pour immediately after the ceremony, it could have become really hectic however The Spinning Wheel team quickly set up cocktail tables and opened the reception room up to keep everyone dry. Though it was likely chaotic for the team, all the guests continued to enjoy the cocktail hour. The rest of the evening went very well. The food was amazing, we had tons of guests complimenting how good it was and the service was wonderful as well. Everything ran smoothly. Katlyn and her team continued to check in with us to make sure it was all going well and see if they could provide us with anything. I would highly recommend The Spinning Wheel to others and would of course consider it for any future events myself!
