Was here for a wedding reception. It's funny because the exterior did not prepare eyes for the beautiful setting the interior has. As you walk in the front entrance lobby you are greeted by an elegant staircase. You move from there to a fairly spacious bar area with a courteous professional staff. They get a drink and on your way. There is also an outdoor seating area with a fire pit. The banquet staff were all friendly and neatly dressed. Food was decent as far as wedding fare goes. Hall for the reception is more traditional than modern as the head table was separated from the family and friends by the dance floor. My reason for a 4 & not 5 stars is the Men's bathroom. It was very tightly packed with one of urinals pressed far too close to the entrance/exit door. I'd like to head back some time soon so I can add some photos for others to see(staircase, fire pit, reception hall) and a chance to have dinner to see how the restaurant service and food is.

We have so many great things to say about Primavera! We just had our wedding here on 8/18/18 and it was phenomenal! The wedding was beautiful and it went very smoothly despite the rain and having to move everything inside. Both Jane and Briana were available via phone and email and went through great efforts to make sure we were happy and got exactly what we wanted out of the day. What initially sold us on having our wedding here was the food, the atmosphere, and the reasonable cost. All of that surpassed our expectations and the people here are honestly the best part. Being family owned, they made us feel like we were part of the family for the past year plus that we have been planning this wedding. We are a bit sad that it is over but we will be sure to come back every year for dinner on our anniversary! More...

i had the wedding of a lifetime here last weekend.  if you are a bride even considering Primavera for your venue, i highly recommend that you visit, meet with Jane, and make it a serious contender. Primavera was the very first (of, like, thirty...) wedding venues that my fiance and i visited when we began planning our wedding about two years ago.  to be honest, it's not much to look at when you first drive up; it's mostly parking lot.  however, once inside, the space is GORGEOUS.  there's a huge, sprawling staircase, with a lovely parlor upstairs.  the bar/foyer area is Victorian in style, and very tastefully decorated.  there is a patio outside, as well as a fountain, bridge, and gazebo, all perfect for picture opportunities.  the grounds are small, but very nicely kept, and there is a ton of greenery, plants, flowers, etc.  we were fortunate enough that the weather totally cooperated, and we were able to have our cocktail hour outside on the patio, as well as the fire pits lit as the evening progressed.having worked in the restaurant business myself for a long time, and as a banquet manager for a year, my biggest concern for our evening was the food, and the service.  Primavera delivered on both accounts.  all of the food was delicious, plentiful, consistently plated, and hot.  and the service- it was honestly impeccable.  banquet servers are typically not the most attentive, but everyone we encountered at Primavera was friendly, accommodating, and appropriate.working with Jane was by far the highlight of this experience.  she was professional, offered guidance and opinions where appropriate, and very responsive.  i had a lot of questions, and there was a lot to coordinate, and she was helpful, pleasant, and funny all throughout.  planning a wedding is a super stressful experience, but Jane did an amazing job of keeping me on track, in terms of what i needed to get done, when, and giving me every confidence that Primavera was going to hold up their end of everything.i know everyone says their wedding is magical, but i really believe that choosing to hold our wedding at Primavera played an integral part in our guests having such a great time.  i cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Primavera about a year ago. Now that things have calmed down, I finally have the time to write this glowing review.

First things first- my husband and I (together or separately) viewed about 50 different venues. We were looking for something elegant and classic, and- also very important- affordable. We didn't want to compromise our vision for the day, based on cost. We found everything we needed at Primavera, for an incredibly reasonable price.

Another reason we chose Primavera was because of Jane. Jane is the wedding coordinator, and I can't say enough good things about the special qualities she brings to the wedding planning process. She was kind, smart, funny, thoughtful, responsive, and most importantly- she remembered me, and everything we talked about. I know Primavera hosts many events (not just weddings), and I'm sure it can be easy to NOT be invested in the clientele. But Jane always made me feel special and important which, lets be honest, is what every bride wants.

I see on their website that their packages are a little different now, but the one I chose included our flowers (at the venue), cake, invitations, champagne toast, 1 hour of open bar, and a good amount of hors d'oeuvres. We chose to add on some late night snacks, and did a consumption bar for the duration of our reception. I don't know about you, but I've been to those weddings where I had to get some fast food afterward because the food either wasn't good, or there wasn't enough. One of the most memorable things my guests always mention to me was the food. I think it probably helps that Primavera is a legit restaurant AND a venue, not just a venue that serves food. Regardless, your guests won't go hungry.

The grounds there are gorgeous. I have pictures from that day which make it look like my husband and I were actually in a garden. Thankfully, spring had already sprung for our April wedding, and the greenery of the trees served as a perfect background. The gazebo was lovely, and the fountain was picturesque. Primavera had also undergone a bit of an internal remodeling, and it was even more beautiful than when we had originally toured.

The foyer is welcoming and open- no worry about your guests getting stuck in a bottleneck when they arrive. The bar area had a good amount of seating, and we were fortunate enough that the weather was plenty warm, and our guests spent much of cocktail hour out on the patio where there were a good number of tables and chairs. There was seating for those who wanted it, but none of the spaces ever felt cramped or crowded.

When we arrived, everything was set up. I've also been to weddings where there was last minute running around, and I didn't see any of that. I had asked that there be white wine passed, and we even had a signature cocktail (Mai Tai) for our cocktail hour. Normally these items cost an extra arm and a leg, on top of everything else. Jane just made it happen. We did have a dedicated server for the wedding party who was very attentive with hors d'oeuvres and drinks. That's the other thing I'll say- I come from the restaurant business and, with banquet servers, you really never know what you're going to get. Everyone at Primavera was polished, professional, and appropriate.

Jane helped guide my husband and I through the night, from our entrance, to our first dance, dinner, the cake cutting- everything. One of my biggest fears surrounding my reception was that there was no rehearsal- there's no "practice" for a wedding reception. I was very concerned that something would be off, or go wrong. There was not a single hiccup. In fact, their attentiveness was so great that, when my mom and I were having an issue gathering my bustle, and Jane noticed we'd been gone a little too long, she sent one of the staff up to assist us so we could get back to the party.

Regarding the included items in our package- I'm a very particular person. I like exactly what I like. What was good about the available options, is that there were plenty, and I really do feel there was something for everyone.

What I look back on most about our wedding, is that I sort of wish I'd had the chance to be a guest. I did miss cocktail hour on the inside of the venue, because we were taking pictures outside. My photographer snapped some pictures of it, though, and it looked gorgeous. Even just the table with the place cards- even that was set up in a beautiful half moon that fanned out from the center. It was that kind of attention to detail that I truly appreciate. My other favorite part of the night was the late night. Again, because the weather was mild enough, guests were still hanging out on the patio, and the fire pits were lit. It just looked so romantic and cozy. Our late night snack of mini sausage and pepper subs was stationed outside, and our guests (and I) loved it. Just a really great way to have the party in a few different settings, all at the same venue. My only regret is that my husband and I were so busy enjoying ourselves, we did forget to have pictures taken on the sweeping staircase, which is a beautiful feature of the property, and I really wish we had. Maybe we'll dress up and go back for our second anniversary. ;-)

If you've made it to the end of the review, that probably means you're a type A bride like me, and really doing your research. So, you're wondering, if Primavera is so great- why did my husband and I look at 50 other places? I'll be honest. Literally the only negative to Primavera is that, when you drive up, it's parking lot, and venue. There's no real grounds to the property- in front. But once you get inside, it's absolutely gorgeous, and the grounds are all in the back.

If you are even remotely considering Primavera, I highly highly recommend that you go for a visit. Enjoy Sunday brunch in the restaurant (which is phenomenal), and then take a tour with Jane. She will go over everything with you patiently and thoroughly. There are hotels just a short (15ish minutes) distance away in Milford, and our buses had no issue transporting our guests. There are also plenty of other restaurants in the area for a rehearsal dinner, or morning-after brunch (you could even do it at Primavera!).

If you are looking for a classic and elegant venue, with gorgeous grounds, picturesque features great for photographs, and amazingly delicious food, you simply cannot beat Primavera.

I have not been to Primavera in years. I intend to make it a regular stop.  Prices were very reasonable. We had the Mussels as an appetizer. The mussels were small but cooked perfect, fresh and with a great sauce. It was just enough to share. A good value for $8. I had the Pescatore, the red sauce was very good. The fettuccini was cooked perfect for me. Sometimes in the effort to go AL Dante, I think pasta is often undercooked.  This was firm but tender. I was very surprised at the amount of lobster my dish had. For the prices one would not expect white linen table clothes but it was a very nice touch. Chris our waiter was informative, friendly and offered great service. We had a very enjoyable dinner. More...

Yesterday I had my daughters bridal shower there. First off, Briana is the nicest and easiest person to work with. Very accommodating to all my ideas, and right there to help us with anything we needed for our decorations. We chose to do the breakfast buffet that includes the cheese platter, fruit, mimosa's and Bloody Mary's at each table. There was also, bagels, muffins, eggs, bacon sausage, pasta dish chicken Marsala. Bountiful amounts of food! As a side note I have celiac disease, the chef knew exactly what to do for me to have safe food. This happens never! I was one of the guests at her shower thanks to him and Briana ensuring my food to be safe. The room that we had it in was absolutely gorgeous. The staff, I cannot say enough about each and every person that worked that day was so terrific at making sure everyone was taking care of, very attentive to the Bride to be and mother of bride lol! They worked hard and was so kind and polite to everyone. Ditto for the bartender! ( I opted to have one as we have a fun crowd) he was the most kindest and professional bartender. Their prices are more than reasonable, we had looked at several other locations and they gave you the most for the money. I HIGHLY recommend Primavera for any functions and we most certainly will use them again. Thank you Briana and all employees you made our daughters bridal shower extra special. More...

After looking for a venue to give us everything we wanted for our wedding, I was very happy when I found Primavera on Weddingwire. com.

I started out with Brianna, she was professional and friendly on the phone and then when I met her she was awesome. She answered all our questions and work with us so that we got everything we wanted.

Then we met Jane. She was FABULOS and funny our family and friends love her. She was great keeping us on track, reminding us of things that needed to be done. She was very accommodating with the setup of the room and allowing one of our guest to bring her food because of how sever her allergies are.

The banquet room was vey beautiful and done exactly as we wanted it. The food was great, the hor' dourves stations and bridal station was set up great. She kept all our vendors on track so that we could have a stress free time.

I would definitely recommending Primavera to anyone and I plan to use they services again in the future. :) Not far a wedding as I plan to stay married forever.

I had been to a wedding here years ago but never to the Primavera Cafe. My in-laws invited us for my birthday present. We had a reservation (Saturday night) but wouldn't have needed it. It wasn't busy at all. The atmosphere is quiet and somewhat intimate. It's a lot smaller than I anticipated. We sat in a booth near the small bar, but they do have tables. The only bad thing about the entire night was the waiter. He was not on-point. I thought he could've been a lot better. The food was amazing. Each entree comes with a soup of the day or salad. I had the salad which was tasty. Fresh bread on the table, with a hummus/oil type dip (It was okay). I had the butternut raviolis ($12 but I added grilled chicken & they charged $5) which were very good. Pasta is fresh & homemade. Everyone loved their meal and we had dessert, which was also excellent. At this point, they offer Wacky Wednesdays which are $10 for all entrees. Will have to try that next time.

Primavera is truly a great place for all different kind of occasions. Having been to a number of parties and events at Primavera, I considered it as place to have my wedding in September, 2016. The location is quiet and away from the city, and offers more than enough parking for guests. Pricing is reasonable and the food was delicious. Briana, the enevnt manager, was a pleasure to work with. She was honest and understanding when it came to all of my questions and needs. She laid out all of the menu options so my husband and I could chose the perfect food items for our guests. We ended up going with a buffet style dinner, with options including homemade pasta, a chicken dish, a roast beef carving station, seafood scampi, mashed potato bar (amazing), salad and vegetables. I had some guests with allergies and food restrictions, and the chef was able to cook something special for them. During cocktail hour/photographs, there was plenty of passed hourderves available to the entire wedding party as well. Latenight, there was a sausage, peppers and onion station outside by the fire pit on the patio. We also had a cigar bar out there. The bartender was fast knowledgeable about different drinks that people were ordering.

The ambiancej at Primavera is classic and old school. It is elegant and traditional. The grandstaircase is breathtaking. The decor at Primavera adds a beautiful element to your photos. They have since updated the ballroom with wainscoating, a new dance floor, fresh paint and really pretty chandeliers (i know this because I ended up having my baby shower there too in June, 2017)!
