Kilburn Mill at Clarks Cove — Local services in New Bedford

Utterly heartbreaking. How disappointing to fall in love with a venue, only to have your worst fears come to fruition. BIGGEST concern for us was having good food for our wedding. The tasting? Delicious! Probably because it came straight from the kitchen to our table of 7. At my actual wedding? COLD. There’s nothing to be said about taste, because I did not bother consuming cold meat. How embarrassing to have guests come up to me and complain their meals weren’t remotely warm…not after the money we spent. I immediately brought this concern to my “point person” (who was not decided until the very day before my wedding). Her response? “I’ve been in this business for 8 years, never in my professional career have I served a plate that wasn’t warm”. We went back and forth for a moment, I was absolutely floored that I was having to even explain that it was not a matter of debate-it was a fact that my food was cold throughout. It was not just my table, but in fact FIVE separate tables/families came to tell me that their meals weren’t hot. That’s just the people who weren’t embarrassed to tell me-everything was indeed cold. Not debating this fact. Not only was it cold, but we paid for family style. Family style is a seated buffet, we were told this and it is definitely what we paid for. Not what we received though-not even in the slightest. Again, when I tried asking the point person why I hadn’t been served again, as well as my guests, her response was once again pathetic. Verbatim, I was told that no one had asked for more food, but if “I really wanted” she could bring out “some” chicken Marsala. I had paid for family style for THREE entrees and two sides. Not what we got!!! Also, I was NEVER told that my guests needed to request more food. I was told when the plates needed replenishing, just that would happen. I wish my review could end here but that was only the tip of the iceberg. Our grand entrance was messed up due to lack of coordination on their team. Also my table settings were not as discussed. I had a good portion of guests reach out about because they received no favors. So disappointing because I bought enough for every guest AND they were supposed to be on every plate before dinner, to ensure that. The dinner plates were picked up so quickly as well. My uncle was quite literally still eating when someone went to take his plate away. He said he wasn’t finished and asked if they could leave the food and bread, as he was still eating and they hurriedly took his butter away. I would’ve loved to see this energy with serving the meals! Lastly, my outside cake was enough to serve every single guest, and go home with ALOT extra. I had 91 guests, and had to pay a cake cutting fee, as my cake was not made by Pranzi. My cake was expected to feed approx 145 people . Not a single slice was saved. I had guests who never got cake! The lovely response was they must’ve not been at their seats. I have family who did not dance the entire night (older people) and they truthfully were not offered a piece. I also expressed to my point person that me, my groom, my best man, and my made-of-honor all wanted a single slice from each tier (as there were three different flavors). Instead, we received NO cake for the four of us. When I said this to her at the end of the night, asking where our special cake to bring home was, her response was “there wasn’t any left.” I said I specifically requested all of us get a special slice saved. She literally shrugged and walked over to a table and handed me two slices of somebody’s discarded cake! That is the memory I got to take home from my wedding night. I just get the vibe this is the owner’s family or friend, because to not take action when THIS much went wrong is mind-boggling. I have never seen such unprofessionalism, especially when you have this much money involved. We attempted communicating these issues with the owner & she wasn’t fazed either. Appalling. It’s insane because I’ve seen the events they can do! My guests & I can all attest that it was very amateur. Needed a real...

So this review is based on 2 places I've found in the Killburn Mill. "SolshineYoga" & "Utopias Path Apothecary & Tea Shoppe." Both places r owned by 2 different yet amzing women who r truly beautiful souls. Both r reiki masters who r genuinely skilled in their craft. "Solshine Yoga" is where i go to get my body feelin energized & "Utopia" is where i go for my hand carved crystals & organic herbs, for both my teas & spells to get my spirit feeling fulfillment. Ruth at Utopia knows her stuff unlike some other vendors & "trendors" u can tell wellness & knowledge is her thing. What sets both these places apart from other merchants in the same building is their credentials & knowledge. These girls r no bs & sum of the realest spiritualists Ive come across in a longggggg time. Diamonds in...

Phenomenal event "Tastes of the Panorama" featuring the "Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage Round the World"... The longest painting in America at 1, 275 feet long. Painted in 1848 by Caleb Purring ton and Benjamin Russell, and shows a Whaling Voyage around the world that leaves New Bedford, MA.

A Whaling Voyage like this would take 3-4 years (1841-1844) and the cargo worth would be around $72,000 when it finally arrived at its home port. In today's dollars that would be around $2,420,000.

Event hosted by the New Bedford Whaling Museum on August 23rd, 2018. Extraordinary venue for this event and exhibit! Delicious food... Raw Bar (Cuttyhunk Shellfish) , Poke Bowls (Taste of Aloha of Polynesia), Portuguese fares (Inner Bay Cafe and Grill), and excellent food from...
