We had our wedding at The Barracks Inn last month (Labor Day 2022). What a beautiful venue, the view can't be beat, the reception/dinner room is beautiful, the food was wonderful. And the drinks were perfect! The owner was so accommodating with all of my quirky plans - never complained, listened to what we wanted and made it all happen. We are picky so this is really something. The sound system is great - really over the top from what you would normally expect. Dancing on the beautiful deck that sits out on the water was heaven. We could have danced until dawn. I heartily recommend this venue and Kim (the owner) as "the" place to have your wedding, anniversary party, birthday party, or just a party party! You will be very pleased with the whole process.

Review for Blenheim Hill Farm Blenheim Hill Farm was the wedding venue of our dreams. From our very first meeting, the owners, Min and Morten, went above and beyond to make us feel supported and cared for. They were personally involved every step of the way — from answering our endless planning questions, to leading us through the tasting, to being hands-on during our big day. The venue itself is picture perfect: set on over 100 acres of peaceful countryside, it offers both privacy and freedom — we loved that we could have a live band, late-night dancing, and even a custom firework show without worrying about noise ordinances. The charm of the working farm added such a special touch, from guests petting goats upon arrival to enjoying eggs fresh from the coop at our Sunday brunch. The food was absolutely incredible — so many of our guests told us it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had. And when light rain threatened our outdoor ceremony, Min and Morten worked tirelessly to hold off the rain plan until the last possible moment; the skies cleared just in time, and their team quickly ensured every seat was dry and perfect. One small note for future couples: plan your guest transportation carefully. We had guests staying in Windham, which added a bit of stress with bus logistics — in hindsight, we’d recommend nearby Airbnbs or closer towns. Still, everything about our experience at Blenheim Hill Farm was magical, and we’re endlessly grateful to Min, Morten, and their team for helping us create a day we’ll cherish forever.

Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe the experience we had with our wedding at the Inns of Aurora. We cannot thank Kim, Breanna, Alistair, Taylor, Julia, and the entire team enough for making everything seamless from start to finish. They handled every detail, answered every question, and made the entire process effortless. What stood out most, though, was how genuinely warm and welcoming everyone was. The venue itself is breathtaking. We planned everything at the Rowland House, and it was the perfect size for our party of 30. The house, property, and rooms were beautiful—living up to the photos and then some. And the food was absolutely delicious; everything that came out of the kitchen felt both home-cooked and elevated. If you’re looking for a place that’s not only beautiful but also filled with people who make your day feel truly special, this is it.

My fiance' and I committed to Dutch Harvest Farm when it was nothing but a drawing on a page and acres of land covered by trees and tall grass. Many people thought we were crazy for signing a contract without seeing the finished product, but they hadn't met Laura. Laura is communicative, excited, caring and thoughtful. Our experience with her thus far has been nothing but positive, and that is difficult to say when you had to cancel your initial wedding due to COVID-19. She has helped us navigate the complex situation and continues to keep us informed even throughout the madness. Although we have not had our wedding just yet, we are ecstatic for our day at DHF and can't wait to share the venue we have seen come to fruition with as many friends and family as we can! Thank you Laura! <3

We got married at New Park about 4 months ago, and it was absolutely magical! The scenery was breathtaking—exactly what I envisioned for my “backyard, but not a backyard” wedding. Multiple guests even said it was the favorite wedding they’d ever attended! There was plenty of space to dance, but guests also had so many other fun options like cornhole, ping pong, and relaxing by the fire. The venue is truly unique, and if I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. Huge thanks to Sara and the entire New Park team for making our day unforgettable!

We cannot say enough good things about this venue! Danielle (our wedding coordinator) and her team exceeded our expectations at every turn. They were intuitive - anticipating our needs often before we even asked for something - and offering suggestions on things we would not have thought of before it was too late. When we realized we had forgotten something (like batteries for the electric candles), we didn’t even have to ask. They overheard us panicking and raced to get what we needed in time for the ceremony. The event space was gorgeous and they were able to pivot when the weather turned threatening and provide our daughter with something that was even better than she had initially envisioned. There was not a single thing that we would have changed. If you are looking for a wedding venue, this all-inclusive space is more cost-effective than you might imagine because you get all your needs met at one price. If you want something more than what they offer, you can either provide it yourself or they have other low-cost add-ons, but honestly, we added very few things because what they offered was superb. They worked hand in hand with our vendors (photographer, videographer, florist, DJ) in a seamless manner, so that we didn’t have to be the go-between all the time. Weddings can be stressful, but because of Danielle and her team, our event - even with unexpected challenges - was stress-free. It was the joyous, beautiful wedding that our daughter had always dreamed of. Thank you truly doesn’t cover it!

It truly was the best weekend of our lives and we had so much fun! Every single detail was exactly how we wanted it thanks to Allie and Ken and the rest of the crew. They worked with our vendors to make sure our day was perfect. If we could host another event there we totally would.

Aside from the beauty of the lake and the hotel, this place did it all for us.

The coordinator we met with was great with communication through email. We really enjoyed our dinner tasting - the food was amazing! The coordinators made the day run so smoothly. The room for the cocktail hour was set up wonderfully. Table settings are included with the package and the candles looked perfect. We felt secure in knowing we could easily move the ceremony inside with any weather concerns. The landscaping/greenery is so well taken care of, it looked fantastic for our ceremony outside on the patio. The hotel staff set up, serve, and clean up - it made for a very relaxing weekend. Our hotel room was incredible also. The hotel was generous with leaving little surprises and gifts for us when we arrived to our room. It was all worth the price.
