I recently hosted a bridal shower for my daughter-in-law at Bacchus. The setting was nothing short of stunning!!! The white framework, windows, terrace, and lakeshore views provided the perfect backdrop for white lace and vintage china inspired event. But for those of you who have seen the beautiful space, that should not come as a surprise! What you may be most interested in is the exceptional service offered by Bacchus. We brought a great deal of our own embellishments into the venue including antique china, lace table cloths, vintage furniture and even a custom bar! Tricia and her staff could not have been more accommodating. From the way in which they handled the vintage goods, to the care in placing everything as though it was lifted off of a Pinterest page, they were simply amazing. To top it off, I had the bar staff duplicate a specialty cocktail from one of my favorite establishments, and they did so to a "T!" And then, of course, there was the food. In typical Bartolotta's fashion, it was nothing short of spectacular. I cannot think of one thing that I would change about the entire event. I spent over a year planning and collecting vintage goods and china so that I could give the most beautiful bride a shower that she would never forget. Bacchus was able to bring my vision to reality, and did so with all of the care and attention to detail that you simply cannot put a price tag on! I would highly recommend Bacchus for any event!

We could not be happier with our Bacchus experience. The food and service were exquisite and Tricia was a fun, thoughtful, efficient, knowledgeable and extremely effective event planner. We can't wait for future celebrations at Bacchus.
