Would like to give Bristol Event Center another applause, from the architecture, the food, down to the staffs, and very special shout-out to Sarah J., for helping us create our dream wedding! I love the fact that Sarah made it so easy to approach her with anything we need. It’s not easy planning a wedding all the way from California, but she helped made it happen. I remember visiting BEC when it was still being built, having to tour with hard hats and everything was all framework and foundation. Sarah went over with us how BEC became established and also showed my wife and I how it’s going to look and we just decided to take that leap of faith and go with them due to how we were able to connect! When we came to check it out when we were visiting town, we were speechless on how beautiful everything was. My cousins and my wedding coordinator did the taste testing for us and they said BEC gave them an experience they never experienced before. If you’re booking a venue to please your crowd, your crowd will definitely have a positive experience they will remember for a very long time. I’ve been to numerous weddings myself and this venue definitely captured my eyes and my stomach (food is amazing). THANK YOU SARAH, RICH, JULIA, STEVE, JEFFREY, AND THE WHOLE TEAM, YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!! - Kristine & Do
