We had our wedding here on 9/5/2020 and considering everything going on, they did go above and beyond. After hearing all of the horror stories my wife was hearing of people not being able to get their deposits back, Molly Pitcher did offer us all of our money back if we chose to cancel.

The reason I am only giving it 4 stars is for two reasons:

1) Communication with this place was a very painful experience. We ended up having to deal with 3 different staff members due to furlough. The issue was getting any response from any of them. We would go days, sometimes weeks waiting for questions to be answered. Especially since time was not on our side with everything having just recently opened, this was frustrating.

2) The maitre d was not good. The wedding ceremony seating wasn't set up correctly making it so that families were sitting on both sides and about 3/4 of the seats on one side and only 1/4 on the other. On top of that he threatened to shut down our wedding because people weren't wearing masks while dancing, even though it was agreed upon that masks were only required if "grinding" was involved, which there was none of. Regardless, to threaten to shut our wedding down is absolutely ridiculous, especially for that reason.

The food was also ok. We were served different food at our tasting than what was at the wedding. Not a major difference but the salmon had a different sauce at the tasting than at the wedding. There were also a few people who mentioned the chicken being dry.

Overall these two issues did not stop our day from being memorable and special. The view we had was great (the entire wedding was outside) and it was all worth it.
