Our guests had nothing but positive things to say about the venue, view, staff, food, & overall experience! We were so thankful we worked with Madeline, because we never had to worry about anything & everything was very efficient + organized! From the initial menu tasting to the final invoice, everything was so clear, and the invoices were straightforward. All of the staff were so polite & friendly, so we definitely felt we were in good hands. I really appreciated the special accommodations that were made for me and our guests with allergies! The room was beautiful & exactly what I had envisioned. We really appreciated how structured the whole process was, such as the instructional email for dropping off decor (with pictures!) and the policies on the invoices. We felt reassured that it was all laid out with what we could/couldn't do, because it reflected how experienced they were. We knew we could relax that day while they provided the highest level of service. Also, so many staff members came to check on me throughout the night & made sure we were as content as possible!
We wanted to specifically point out that Madeline’s level of professionalism and expertise were very much appreciated throughout the planning process! We can't express how reassuring it was to have her on our team, because it felt like she was always thinking about our vision of the day! It just felt like everything was taken care of & she helped us think of everything, so nothing was missed in the end. It can be quite intimidating planning a wedding for the first time, as I'm sure everyone knows that there are so many expectations/traditions that guests come in with. Madeline helped us so much to consider what we should add or what might be unnecessary. Especially with everything on Pinterest/social media, we just felt that she always considered what was essential to our day, instead of adding everything that could be thought of. I think it is more that we felt like we weren't being taken advantage of/just a way to make money, which is something that can't be said about all wedding vendors & venues. We felt like she really listened to us & made it personal to us as a couple. We would highly recommend having any event at Discovery World with Madeline! We have received so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful the reception was & felt it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Our daughter wanted no venue other than the Pilot House at Discovery World because we had taken her to a family wedding when she was 15. It made an indelible impression on her then and from the moment we signed the contract with Bartolotta's Catering, we had constant communication with our contact there. Unfortunately, one month before the wedding, our main contact left Bartolotta's after having worked with him for almost one year.
To say we were disappointed was an understatement as I had communicated with him through hundreds of emails. We were immediately contacted by Joanne Hansen and Marni Fishbain who took over his position and these women did everything in their power to make our concerns heard and make us feel valued. They gave our vendors extra time to set up the wedding and evencommunicated with us late into the evening to resolve any problem that would arise.
The Wedding turned out beautifully and we could not have asked for a better team. The staff was efficient and professional, the food was outstanding and the venue speaks for itself. IF Discovery World is at all on your list, please ask for these women to show you around. They know the wedding business inside and out. They are there to serve and to achieve the goal of having the wedding be the best day of your daughter's life!

Hurricane Ian destroyed my original wedding venue in Florida. The day after the hit I called Madeline with Bartolottas and she and Liz made my dream wedding happen in 5 weeks!!!! The food was amazing! The service was incredible!!! Madeline and Liz were extremely helpful in the wedding planning process! They made a stressful situation so much less stressful! I could not recommend them more, I wish I could give them 10 stars! My dream wedding would not have been possible without them.
