We had a wonderful experience with Fern Hill. They helped guide us through the planning process and were there to answer all of our questions. Reagan was the one that we worked most closely with. She was there for us all throughout the planning process and on our wedding day and was super attentive (helped saved the day when I spilled something on my dress!). The whole operation at Fern Hill was organized and seamless - the food was excellent, the DJ they provided from Bedrock entertainment (Sam) was INCREDIBLE, and our banquet coordinator, Jules, was very communicative and made sure the reception went smoothly. The only minor issue we had was it was somewhat hard to find someone to help with a few mishaps during the reception (ie. spilled drink on the floor, photo booth stopped working). My maid of honor said it was a little difficult to find someone to come help in those situations, but other than that, it was the most perfect day and we are so appreciative to Fern Hill!

Our wedding venue was an absolute 10/10, and we truly could not have imagined a more perfect place to celebrate our day. From the moment we first visited, we fell in love with the beautiful rustic barn setting. It had all the charm and warmth of a classic barn venue while still feeling elegant, elevated, and thoughtfully designed. The property itself was stunning, and having both our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors created the most beautiful atmosphere for our guests. The scenery provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration and made the entire day feel magical. What truly set this venue apart, however, was the incredible staff. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, professional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day special. Throughout the planning process and on the wedding day itself, they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We especially appreciated their willingness to accommodate dietary restrictions and religious meal preferences for our guests. They handled every request with care, respect, and attention to detail, making everyone feel welcomed and included. On the wedding day, the staff continually exceeded our expectations. They stepped in to solve last-minute issues before we even knew they existed, helped with decorations and setup, and made sure every detail came together beautifully. Their calm, can-do attitude allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding, knowing we were in excellent hands. The level of service, attention, and genuine care we received was extraordinary. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful the staff were throughout the entire event. If you’re looking for a venue that combines rustic charm with elegance, breathtaking outdoor spaces, exceptional service, and a team that truly cares about your experience, we cannot recommend this venue highly enough. They played a huge role in making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be and more.

The Colonial Hotel was the perfect place to host our wedding. We stayed over the night before and got ready there the morning of, and had our cocktail hour and reception under the tent. From the first email, Mary was beyond helpful and communicative. She made the entire process as smooth as possible. I always felt like she had it under control! She even let us drop off our decor a couple weeks in advance, and then her and her team handled all of the setup. Although I was extremely involved in the planning during my engagement, Mary made it easy to enjoy the day and forget about all of the little things. The convenience of the Colonial Grille made it easy to continue on to our after party. The food was great and so were the drinks! The best part was finishing pictures and immediately having Mary deliver my new husband & I our signature cocktails without having to ask. Their partnership with Gerardos also made the cake process extremely easy. Would 10000000% recommend working with Mary & her team for your big day!

Butternut Farm Golf Club was an absolutely gorgeous venue, with exceptional service, delicious food, reasonable pricing, and a beautiful setting. Kerri was incredible throughout the whole process, seamlessly making sure the whole day went perfectly— she even made sure I got a safety pin when my dress strap broke! Everyone from Hope, the business manager, to the waitstaff and the other vendors in the package (highly recommend the package with the photography and baker!) was extremely professional. The guests were raving about the food, and the large dance floor and huge ballroom (not to mention the reasonable pricing) made my 150 guests feel comfortable and excited. Bonus points for the balcony, where the non-dancers enjoyed great conversations overlooking the golf course pond. And what a gorgeous area in apple orchard country!! Could not have had a more perfect day. Thank you so much to everyone at Butternut for making our reception an absolute blast!!!

Set in a beautifully renovated and restored 100-year old barn overlooking rolling hills of conservation land, the Barn at Gibbet Hill is one of New England’s most unique venues for weddings and special events. The Barn offers rustic elegance with unparalleled views. The first wedding at The Barn at Gibbet Hill took place in 2002 when Jed and Asia’s fantastic outdoor wedding plans got rained out. Back then the Barn was completely unrenovated – hay bales were moved to the edge of the room and the tractor had to be parked outside so a makeshift wedding aisle could be made. After witnessing the undeniable magic of that day, the idea to transform the Barn into a permanent wedding venue began to take hold. Two years later, after a massive renovation of the Barn was completed, The Barn officially opened for business. And two years after that, CBS-4 crowned the Barn the best wedding venue in the Boston Area!

We found the Barn when searching for an all-inclusive yet customizable venue (so our wedding would feel like us), with good food and staff that would make the day feel seamless. LGBTQ friendly was a must. Ultimately, we’re so grateful we picked Gibbet Hill! Furthermore, having a daytime celebration allowed us to have the wedding we wanted within our budget. Overall, the Barn’s team was genuinely invested in making our vision come to life, and they more than delivered on our big day. From our very first intake and tour, we knew we were in good hands. Our planner, Bree, was with us from the beginning, answering every question with warmth and confidence that immediately put us at ease. Throughout the planning process she was professional, responsive, and just fun to work with. We also picked many of the Barn’s preferred vendors, who all spoke highly of one another so it was clear they had great experience and flow as a cross-vendor team. On the day itself, the entire Barn staff operated with a calming efficiency that made everything feel effortless. They had a grounding presence that kept us on track without ever making us feel rushed and that tone made an enormous difference. Our top notch team, including Bree, Sarah, Jess, and so many other amazing staff also helped with our dresses, carried our trains, drove us in a golf cart for photos, and took wonderful care of our guests throughout the reception (who commented on how well they were looked after). We even found out afterward that the team had helped our flower girl tend to a wasp sting during the festivities. That kind of attentiveness speaks volumes. Any issue that arose they handled with utmost professionalism. Also, the food was fantastic and we STILL get so many compliments from guests! Our personal goal as the couple was to enjoy the food and that we did. One highlight for us was also the “reserved for newlyweds” appetizer plate brought to us in the bridal suite. Such a thoughtful touch. We cannot recommend The Barn, Bree, and the entire team highly enough. If you’re looking for a venue where you’ll feel genuinely cared for from the first conversation to the final exit, this is the place. Thank you so much to the staff at the Barn at Gibbet Hill for making our wedding so special!

Carissa, Lynn and the whole Hartman's team did an incredible job on our wedding. Carissa made delicious food and worked with us to dial in exactly what flavors we wanted to pull in from our respective cultures. Her cake was delicious and we could not get enough even after she set aside big pieces for us to take home. Lynn was wonderful to work with on the flowers and decorations. It was so nice to bounce ideas with her, hear her suggestions on the color scheme and what flowers she could grow or order or make for our wedding. They worked with our budget giving us options we felt happy with, mixing and matching some of the premium offerings with more affordable ones. We felt heard and welcomed every time we stopped by the venue in the months before the wedding and even since. The forest and flowers on the property were beautiful and lush during our fall wedding. We chose to rent the BnB rooms which made life so much easier during our hectic days. We could not recommend them enough.

We started with our ceremony in the beautiful outdoor space, followed by an amazing cocktail hour, and then moved into the reception barn. The barn itself is simply gorgeous, and its timeless charm was the perfect canvas for our vision. What truly elevated our day was the phenomenal staff. They are a well-oiled machine, and our coordinator, Jocelyn, and her team were simply incredible. They were there for anything and everything that came up, providing a sense of calm and assurance throughout the entire day. We never had to worry about a single detail because they had everything under control. And let's talk about the food! The chef prepared a delicious meal that our guests are still raving about weeks later. We've received countless compliments on the quality and taste of everything. The chef's commitment to excellence was truly shown when she even made fresh cookies for our dessert display after feeling that one of the desserts from our bakery vendor had gone bad. That attention to detail is something we will never forget. For couples who want an intimate, romantic, energetic, and timeless wedding, we would recommend The Barn at Blackstone National time and time again. They made our dream wedding a reality.

We got married 9.13.15 at Sky Meadow. We booked the venue more than a year in advance (we just wanted to get it out of the way) and Lynn was amazing to work with during that entire time. She was super responsive, very professional, and all around joy to work with. And when it came to day of, our venue coordinator, Josh, was instrumental to making sure the day ran smoothly. He kept us on track and was very accommodating to all of our requests. The entire staff was amazing to work with and we can't have asked for better help during our wedding. And as for food, 10000/10, everyone was raving about it! We did the plated dinner and chose Prime Rib, Crab Stuffed Haddock, and the Risotto. As for appetizers we did sushi, antipasto display, meatballs, bacon wrapped scallops, lobster sliders, and beef wellington bites. Everyone said how there was so much food they were stuffed even before dinner. The food is definitely plentiful and your guests will be happy at the quality and amount. We did consumption bar as well and the line was never too long, they turned them out quickly (especially since they walked around with our signatures). They even include a cake of your choice (we chose Chickadee Hill Bakery - absolutely delicious) as part of your package which was really nice. We wholeheartedly believe this venue is the venue to have your wedding at!

Jenn, the property manager at Pierce House, was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout our wedding planning process. She has a caring, kind, and welcoming demeanor that makes you feel like you've known her forever. Her dogs Remy and Cleo are also the cutest assistants. The raw, flexible space at Pierce House is truly beautiful and has a warm, homey feel that we loved and our guests loved. From the moment we toured the venue, we fell in love with the space and Jenn herself. She was so patient, kind, and helpful - we felt like we gained a friend through this experience. I could not recommend Pierce House more highly for anyone looking to get married. The venue is a truly special and magical place. Sharing a few photos on film below that won’t even begin to do it justice.

We honestly could not have asked for a better wedding experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The Italian food was absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was, especially the pasta and appetizers. The staff was outstanding: warm, attentive, and on top of every detail without ever feeling intrusive. They made us feel completely taken care of all day and night. Brunch the next morning was just as amazing , the mimosas were delicious and perfectly made, which was such a fun and relaxing way to wrap up the celebration with family and friends. The décor was stunning and brought the entire vision together effortlessly. Every space felt elegant, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. And the DJ? Absolutely amazing.

My husband and I loved our experience at Hidden Hills. First and foremost, they were extremely accommodating with my allergy and the allergy of our guests, my mom’s wheelchair, and allowing us to have a dog at the venue as our ring bearer. Second, the venue was beautiful. The food delicious. And service incredible. The price was exactly what we were looking for: AFFORDABLE. But the best part was Haley. She made wedding planning with the venue easy, uncomplicated, and was very open to our ideas and what we wanted for our big day.

Salem Cross Inn checked all our boxes for the perfect venue. It was affordable and included an outdoor ceremony location as well as an indoor ceremony location in case of rain. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous for our early Autumn wedding to allow us to be married outside. Our guest list was small, less than 50 people, which allowed us to rent The Brookfield Room on the second floor. This was perfect for us and provided us with a dance room and recpetion room. The bridal suite gave us sanctuary to have our makeup and hair done while our amazing photographer wandered around capturing our day. The backdrop of a beautiful farm landscape made for the perfect fantasy enchanted forest wedding theme. But the staff were the real stars in our day as they made everything incredibly easy. Donna and Nancy checked in on us to make sure we were all set. They helped with some quick changes and genuinely enjoyed our party. Hailee was a superstar! She took care of anything we needed, made sure that our stuff was safe and was wonderful with the kids at our party. I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. I am grateful for their professionalism, joy and the food was absolutely mouthwatering!!

From the moment we booked Grand View, Erin was our coordinator and she was always quick to respond and help with any questions or requests we had. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful - there was no need to do anything crazy to decorate, as the space was so elegant and well-designed already. All of our decorations and centerpieces were dropped off ahead of time, and the staff arranged everything so beautifully. Our guests loved the open bar and the overall flow of the event. Grand View truly contributed to making our special day perfect in every way. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue or team to work with.

It’s been 3 months since our October wedding and our friends/family still rave about our wedding night. Glenpharmer was still relatively new to weddings and most guests had never been to the location before. The compliments of the facility were endless. Everyone was beyond impressed with the food that was cooked to perfection. The quality of the alcohol and drinks provided are far and away better than your standard venue. I’m not much of a review person, but your wedding is important so we need to give credit where credit is due. Glenpharmer knocked it out of the park for us.

While my husband and I didn't get married at Milliken Manor, we had the pleasure of working with Kristen and Blackwater Events for our wedding in November 2025. It was an absolute joy to work with her from Day 1. She took every wish on our wishlist and made it a reality. She coordinated a "bouquet-making station" for me and my bridesmaids and created a timeline that maximized dancing for the guests. She pulled off a Chipotle dinner buffet that my husband thought was only a pipe dream (and even made it "upscale" enough to please my mother). Last but certainly not least, she somehow got my dad excited about the planning process and navigated family dynamics like a saint. If I had it to do all over again, it would certainly be with Kristen - and this time at Milliken Manor!
