We were so pleased with our amazing experience at Fern Hill Barn!! Every member of the team was consistently working throughout the day to make things run smoothly and help take any pressure or stress off us as the bride and groom. We experienced a very aggressive pop up thunderstorm right as our outdoor ceremony was supposed to take place, and I have never seen a team take action like they did. Carly kept me posted on the forecast and when we were forced to move inside, the team was at attention, putting up the sides of the tent, moving florals, and keeping everything pristine for the tent ceremony. Joanne, our banquet captain, helped me with any and everything that day - from adjusting my veil and dress, to calming my nerves about the storm, and even making sure we had our first congratulatory drinks once we were married. I cannot thank everyone enough, and we will surely be recommending our venue for years to come. All our guests were so pleased and so complimentary of the food, the cake, the friendliness of all staff, and the overall atmosphere. THANK YOU FERN HILL BARN TEAM!!

I hosted my daughter's Bridal Shower Tea Party at the Proctor Mansion Inn this past Saturday May 31, 2025. I could not have had it at a more appropriate venue, it was absolutely perfect! Every single guest could not get over how beautiful and elegant the Mansion is- the decor and architecture are gorgeous. Michelle and her staff were fabulous. Michelle helped me plan the shower every step of the way, she answered every question I had, offered suggestions to me because she knew this was my first bridal shower, and she went above and beyond to make sure every detail in decorating and service was perfect. Michelle assisted me in selecting the perfect caterer for our tea party, Chef Paul Streichert, owner of Gatherings by Chef Paul. Overall feedback from my guests: BEST Bridal Shower EVER! And it is all a credit to Michelle, her staff, Chef Paul, and the Proctor Mansion Inn.

782Wrentham was the perfect setting for our belated wedding reception. We had time to decorate and add personal touches on the morning of the event. My makeup artist (Gyna Paine) traveled to me and used the rental space as my bridal suite. The venue was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of seating and parking for 100 guests. For dinner, we all were seated under a large, well-lit tent. The vendors we hired (DJ/photo booth, dance floor, bar service, and catering) made for a unique event that wow-ed our family and friends. We’ll remember August 24th, 2024 forever.

Our country band was hired by Sarah at Zola for a series of musical performances during the summer of 2020. All communications were clear and concise. Payment for services was fair and prompt. As this was during the Covid pandemic, we had multiple conversations regarding the safety of both the performers and the guests and all of our concerns were taken very seriously. Sarah was a pleasure to work with and we hope to be able to work future events together

The venue's communication was excellent, and their work was absolutely breathtaking. Saying they went above and beyond for our son and future daughter-in-law's engagement party truly does not do justice to the care and attention they gave. This unique space is a hidden gem, and we couldn't recommend it more highly.

The Red Lion Inn is first class. We booked our wedding about 8 months out for just shy of 200 people. We were immediately assigned Krystel to work with who managed everything!! After I sourced our vendors, Krystel took on communication with them of when they were arriving, what they needed, etc. Krsytel was there to answer any questions we have and make our day special to us. We upgraded the tables as I did not want linens on the tables and Krystel worked to ensure the flow the room remained amazing. We had a 9 piece band that was perfectly situated and taken care of. The day of Tufick was THE MAN. He kept everything moving smoothly, we couldn’t have been worried or concerned about a thing. The food was incredible, the after party was a blast and we have memories for a life time

The venue itself is absolutely stunning—rustic charm meets elegant design in a beautiful setting. Every corner is photo-worthy, from the beautifully restored barn to the lush outdoor spaces. What really made our day unforgettable, though, was the team. Every single person we interacted with was kind, helpful, and incredibly professional.

We discovered this venue through Zola and fell in love with it immediately from the very first look online. Right away, we knew it felt like the perfect place for our wedding day! We scheduled a tour on January 29, 2023, and brought our parents along because we wanted to see if they liked it as much as we did. Seeing the venue in person, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. Moira showed us every detail of the property, including the Barn and the Winthrop Room (the two reception spaces), the Alpheus Room (indoor ceremony space), the patio, and the beautiful lawn where we could take family, wedding party, and bride-and-groom photos. By the end of the tour, we knew this was the one, and we officially booked our wedding for October 26, 2024. Throughout the planning process, the venue staff’s professionalism and experience stood out. Moira was able to answer any and all questions we had about any aspect of the wedding from the dimensions of the arbor in the Alpheus room to special meal accommodations for a guest. Also, we initially planned our ceremony for 5 PM but realized that with our late-October date, we wouldn’t have enough daylight for formal photos after the ceremony. We talked to Moira, and we were able to adjust the timeline, pushing the ceremony earlier so we could capture outdoor photos before sunset. On the big day, everything exceeded our expectations! The food was a highlight, with our guests raving about all of the food, which included filet of beef, grilled salmon, vegetable lasagna, and chicken tenders for all the kids (or kids at heart). The venue also ensured that we had some food to eat during the photo session during cocktail hour to make sure that we were happy and not hangry while taking pictures! Because of the earlier ceremony time, we were able to utilize the gazebo on the property for some formal photos and a first look with Kayla and her dad before the ceremony. During the cocktail hour, we took the remaining photos out on the lawn with the stunning fall colors as a backdrop. Overall, The Barn at Wight Farm supported us in every way and did everything necessary to give us the wedding of our dreams. We can’t recommend it more!

Some ideas need time and space to materialize. Transforming an old rodeo horse farm into a creative compound for events and projects has proven to be a challenging example. Over time, thoughtful outbuildings and spaces are popping up throughout a fourteen-acre campus of oak forests and wild meadows. One hundred feet of wiggly barn welcomes experiences from intimate projects to large wedding celebrations with loved ones. Now, it’s a steady push towards sustainable, creative projects working in sync with the natural surroundings. Get out in the woods, get a little weird. Try to have a good time.

I can't say enough about how special and wonderful this place is. Our experience here was even better than anticipated. The property is beautiful and has plenty of space, and the barn is so unique and lovely. This is not a cookie cutter farm wedding venue, every detail has been carefully considered and taken care of. Adam, the owner, went out of his way to help everything go smoothly and our friends won't stop talking about how amazing it was. It was so special.

We got married at Field to Fork Farm on August 9th, 2025 and it was everything we dreamed of and more. It was an idyllic New England farm wedding with rolling hills, and farm animals straight out of a fairytale. The venue owners, Patrick and Daniela and their children are such kind down-to-Earth people and really made the wedding process fun and stress free. This venue is unique in that it’s really a blank slate and up to you what you choose for your wedding vision, from the ceremony layout, to the tent, to caterers, and decorations. Bringing in our own vendors took more leg work on our part, but it was well worth it as this made our wedding feel very special since we got to pick vendors to suit our taste. Patrick and Daniela were so helpful at answering our questions through the entire process, and allowed us to stop by to walkthrough the farm as needed for the planning process. On the day of our wedding Patrick and Daniela were so helpful making sure everything was well prepared from the ceremony setup to helping the vendors as they arrived. We had a few guests with difficulties walking, and Patrick kindly drove them to the ceremony spot in the south field in the golf cart. One of the highlights of this venue is that it’s a working family farm. They have so many cute animals including cows, donkeys, geese, chicken, and goats with 3 babies which were a huge hit with our guests who got to hold them! At one point there had to be at least 40 of our guests around the goats haha! Patrick even had the animals come into the pen closest to the tent so our guests could easily walk over to see them. Speaking of animals, the venue is dog friendly so our precious dog got to be part of our special day! The farm landscape is so beautiful, and Patrick and Daniela are constantly working to beautify their farm through projects like their new vineyard. We didn’t have to go crazy with decorations since the farm had so much natural beauty. This made for great photos. The farm is expansive, and our guests enjoyed walking around during cocktail hour and after dinner. There are so many scenic spots tucked away throughout the farm, such as their pond which we snuck off to for private vows on the dock before the ceremony, and photos in the canoe after dinner. A very unique part of this venue, is that camping is allowed! We ended up staying the night and camping and so did several of our friends as an after party. We had so much fun, and so did our friends. It was a great choice for us and our guests who wanted to continue the party without having to worry about driving home. We were allowed to use the space for the whole weekend, which was super helpful for setting up and packing up everything as we brought a lot of things in ourselves. We chose to have our wedding rehearsal at the farm as well, and it was a great experience! Another thing we did unique to the farm was include Field to Fork Farm spices as gift favors for our guests, which were a hit! Field to Fork Farm has a little farm store with delicious meats, spices, and other products for sale that we enjoyed purchasing each time we visited leading up to the wedding, so we knew we wanted to incorporate something from the farm for our guests. Overall, we highly recommend Field to Fork Farm as a wedding venue! Thank you to the Connelly family for making our wedding experience incredible! Professional photo credit: Carly Storro Photography

Wright’s Mill Farm gave us the wedding day of our dreams — truly, I don’t even have the words for how perfect everything was. From the moment we booked, Bri was an absolute angel. She coordinated every detail with so much care, patience, and flexibility. No matter what I needed or how many times I changed my mind, she was right there making everything feel easy and stress-free. I could feel how much she genuinely cared about our day, and that meant the world. The staff the night of our wedding was beyond amazing. Every single person brought such warmth and energy, and the bartenders were absolutely stellar — they kept the party going, kept every guest happy, and did it all with huge smiles. Our friends and family are still talking about how incredible they were. The food and appetizers were delicious, beautifully presented, and exactly what we hoped for. And the s’mores bar? Such a perfect, cozy, magical touch that made the night feel even more special. Standing there with the people we love, in a place so stunning and cared for by a team that truly goes above and beyond, felt like living inside a dream. I wish I could do it a thousand times over.
