We booked this venue essentially sight unseen after a virtual tour. We are not from the area but found Wedgewood Weddings through some online searches and knew we wanted a venue in New England with a beautiful outdoor space for our garden wedding vision. We actually did a virtual tour of 3 of the MA venues and loved Fern Hill Barn immediately. When we finally got to see the space in person a few months before our wedding at the sweetheart extravaganza it was amazing!! The sales and planning team were rockstars. From the very beginning they made navigating and customizing the all inclusive packages a breeze ensuring we got everything we wanted without trying to upsell us in any way. They were very responsive and helpful with all of the questions that arose along the way and very flexible working with us being out of state. The entire team - Haley, Shannon, Colton, Jordan & Claudia were all great! But I want to give an extra special shout out to our coordinator Haley. From the first planning meeting with her I knew right away we were in good hands. She understood our vision from the beginning and it made the details and planning so much easier knowing we were all on the same page. Day of we had a few things arise that needed attention (from external factors) and she handled them seamlessly. She kept stress at bay for us and ensured the day was amazing. We could not have asked for better care on our special day! Everyone that was part of our day including hair and makeup by Taylor Noelle Artistry, the bar and service staff and Adam from Bedrock DJ were wonderful. Our family and friends have been raving about the day since we left!! The food, the service, and the ambiance were everything we hoped for and more!!
