  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $7,500

Elegant plantings and cultivated grounds fill this public garden with vibrancy that's more than a century in the making. Long Hill is a property of The Trustees of Reservations, a Massachusetts non-profit corporation. From 1916 to 1979, Long Hill was the summer home of noted author and editor of The Atlantic Monthly, Ellery Sedgwick. He summered here with his first wife, Mabel Cabot Sedgwick, an accomplished horticulturist, gardener, and author of The Garden Month by Month, and his second wife, Marjorie Russell Sedgwick, a rare plants specialist—both of whom created a delightful, enchanting landscape, surrounded by more than 100 acres of woodland. Today, visitors delight in the beauty of Long Hill’s structured and naturalistic gardens as well as a network of woodland trails. A diverse collection of trees, shrubs, and distinctive perennial plants provide color during the growing season, peaking in May and June and providing structure and beauty throughout the year.

“We were married at Long Hill in September 2026 and had such a wonderful experience! It was truly the best day of our lives! We enjoyed visiting many time leading up to our wedding date to enjoy the property. Helena and her team were collaborative, kind, and wonderful to work with. Helena made planning easy and was always willing to answer our questions. The venue is beautifully maintained, with several gorgeous garden options for the ceremony. Our guests especially loved cocktail hour on the croquet lawn before moving into the tent, which is also lovely for the rest of the celebration. We’re so happy we chose Long Hill and would absolutely recommend it to other couples! Photography by photosbyannalee”

Moraine Farm 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Beverly, MA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $17,000

Originally designed in 1880, Moraine Farm has been hailed as "the finest existing example of Frederick Law Olmsted's approach to planning a country estate" by pre-eminent Olmsted scholar Charles E. Beveridge. Olmsted created lawns, hedges, rustic stone walls, and a magnificent meadow – and collaborated with Boston architects Peabody and Stearns to design a massive stone terrace facing the lake, extending the shingle-and-stone house into the landscape. The farm took its name from a low ridge of glacial debris, called a moraine, which Olmsted used to provide an elevated vantage point for the paths and carriage drives that looped through 75 acres of coniferous forest, passed lake and meadow views, and climbed to an overlook on the edge of the 40-acre farm.

“We just had our perfect wedding at Moraine Farm and it could not have been more perfect. I wish I could go back and re-live it over and over again! The coordinator, Laura, was awesome and all our guests are still talking about how beautiful of a venue it was. The incredible food was also a huge plus :) We will forever look back at our wedding and smile. Huge thank you to everyone at Moraine and Fireside Catering that pitched in to help out on our day!”

“Event planning is not my forte in the best of times, but when you throw in the added inconvenience that my husband and I live in Europe — I knew it was going to take a miracle to pull off this wedding. Luckily, Willowdale and my amazing coordinator, Alli, were that miracle. Not only is Willowdale a stunning and completely unique venue 365 days of the year, it was a perfect match for our tricky theme: Great Gatsby (my husband’s theme) meets Dark Fairytale (my theme). What really took Willowdale to the next level in my book was their ability to take the stress out of wedding planning so you can actually enjoy this special time in your life. Special shoutout to my coordinator, Alli, who is like a wedding fairy godmother, Type A project manager, and supportive big sister all rolled into one. You name it, she did it: taking our jumble of decor and turning it into a fancy fairyland, helping me trim my boombas so they didn’t peak out of my neckline, wrangling family members, making sure my husband and I had enough to eat and drink, and packing up all our wedding desserts at the end of the night. Our guests can’t stop raving about our wedding and frankly, neither can we. Willowdale is the best in the biz, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!”

“Vanessa was so kind and open throughout our time engaging with this DIY venue. For around 3k, you have the entire venue from 8am Friday to 10pm Sunday, and can set it up to your hearts content. There is ceremony space both indoors and outdoors, space to put up a tent, and the great hall alone holds around 100 people seated, without crowding. Chairs and tables come included. The whole space was great for offering a variety of different spaces for our event: a room for eating and dancing, a room for the photobooth, a room for children's activities, a room for the memorial area, and a room for quiet relaxing--which my wedding party absolutely needed. I can't imagine having had a better experience at a more conventional full service venue--just make sure you have a team to help you with setup and shutdown and you're golden.”

The venue itself is beautiful and unique, our guests had a great time. The prices are incredibly reasonable and we additionally received an off season discount. Their wedding packages include so much beyond the standard wedding packages including the use of the bridal suite, appetizers/champagne in the bridal suite on the wedding day, use of their (beautiful) centerpieces, a separate happy hour for the wedding party during photographs and much more. Yasmene went above and beyond on our wedding day- she even sewed my nephew's superhero mask when it broke. Many of our guests commented on how she was the best wedding coordinator they had ever seen. Overall, we are incredibly happy with our selection of the Nahant Country Club. It is a beautiful venue run by incredibly efficient and kind women!”

Looking back, booking this venue was one of the best decisions we made as having our wedding at the Stevens Estate allowed us to soak in every moment as we were 100% confident that they had everything covered.

“The Victoria Inn and Pavilion was the perfect wedding venue for us. From the very beginning, their communication style was timely, thorough, and flexible - they worked with us every step of the way to ensure our special day was exactly how we envisioned it. The quality of their work and overall value was truly exceptional - the venue was elegant, affordable, and had a classic, timeless feel. They were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to mix and match our experience to meet our specific needs, including being flexible on catering. We also had the option to rent out the inn for the weekend, which we opted out of, but would have been perfect for a larger group.

“Our daughter just celebrated her wedding this past weekend at the Kimpton Marlowe, and I can't imagine a more perfect experience! We visited quite a few venues that we loved, but once we found KM and Rachel, we knew we had found our place. I'm not sure where to begin! The planning process was never stressful thanks to Rachel's patience, professionalism and organizational skills. Our daughter lives out of state, and I can only imagine the insane amount of emails that flew back and forth between her and Rachel! She kept us all calm, and we were always confident that the day would be perfect because of her extraordinary efforts. The venue itself has everything a bridal party could want. It's in an accessible location for out of state visitors to explore Boston and Cambridge. The staff are all warm, friendly and eager to help with anything. The price is very reasonable; we had ruled out Boston/Cambridge because of our budget, but KM turned out to be right on target. There is convenient parking on site. We were offered a block of rooms in the hotel for an amazingly good price, so that our guests didn't have to worry about driving after a big party! The food was exceptional, from appetizers to dinner and even late night snacks of pizza, cookies and milk! The reception room was gorgeous and is very easy to work with because of the neutral colors. I think one of our favorite parts was that we had the entire second floor of the hotel to ourselves! The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and even a room for the bride to retreat when she needed to change was all included. The younger guests danced until the very end, and the "older" parents and guests found a quiet spot to hang out in the lobby area outside of the reception hall, filled with comfortable sofas, chairs and tables. All who attended were happy with the many choices to party, relax and mingle. In my opinion, KM and Rachel are a still a hidden gem in the greater Boston area. I hope this review helps to get the word out that they are the place to go if you are looking for an affordable option with fabulous spaces, delicious food and most of all, an event planner who puts her heart and soul into everything she does. Thank you, KM and Rachel! 3”

Every meeting with the team felt fun and upbeat, which made the whole planning process so much easier and genuinely enjoyable. Huge shoutout to Briana, Lily, Anna, and Jillian for supporting us through everything and keeping us on track. Our banquet captain that night, Kerri, made sure our guests were taken care of, and we heard so many compliments about the food and service. Chef Jim, Sous Chef Corey, and their awesome servers, Michael, Phil, and Elijah, really did an amazing job. We also have to rave about our bartender, Mariah. She was hilarious, kind, and just so good at what she does. She added such a fun energy to the night and made it even more special for us and our guests. Can't forget to thank Susanne's Weddings for the amazing floral arrangements and Jacques Pastry Shop for the delicious and perfect wedding cake! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!

“If you're considering Wentworth by the Sea hotel for your wedding venue - just do it! They truly went above and beyond and blew us out of the water. We went with the Little Harbor Package in the Grand Ballroom - we were treated like royalty. Any issue we may have come across (few if not any at all!) it was quickly settled with zero stress. If you're looking for a one stop shop for everything wedding - they supply an excellent list of vendors, everything is on site, champagne around every corner, and talk about luxurious and beautiful! Kate, Catherine, and the entire Wentworth staff were extremely attentive, in person and via email - they were just incredible and I couldn't speak more highly about their professionalism. Our wedding guests are still complimenting Wentworth by the Sea - especially the food! Food is something not many people expect to be blown away by at a wedding - but boy they didn't disappoint! Some guests said it was the best filet they had EVER had!!! All of the food - appetizers, salads, entrees, dessert - everything was mouthwatering and buzzworthy. Again, if you're considering booking Wentworth by the Sea Hotel - this is your sign to book! I can't say enough wonderful things about all the people involved and the property itself with all of its amenities!

“Hyla Brook Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding. The space was absolutely beautiful, with stunning natural scenery that provided a gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The staff thought of every little detail to make our day run smoothly, and our day-of coordinator, Ashley, was simply the best. Ashley was incredibly helpful, responsive, and made sure the whole process went off without a hitch. We honestly don't know how we would have gotten through it all without her guidance and support. We will genuinely miss talking to Ashley so often now that the wedding is over. Hyla Brook Estate and their incredible team made our wedding day truly unforgettable.”

“We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Pierce House! The property has such an understated classic New England elegance to it. It’s beautiful without feeling overly formal, and the grounds are so lovely. One of our favorite things about the venue was how naturally the entire day flowed. From getting ready in the house, to the ceremony by the pond, to cocktail hour and the reception, every part of the day felt distinct but still connected. It made the whole wedding feel relaxed, seamless, and very us. And we cannot say enough good things about Jenn. From the first time we toured through the wedding day itself, she was incredibly helpful, warm, and easy to work with. She always made us feel like the Pierce House was our own home, and by the time the wedding came around, she truly felt like part of the family. Having her there that day was such a comfort. Our wedding weekend was everything we hoped it would be, and the Pierce House was such a huge part of what made it feel so special. We could not have imagined getting married anywhere else!”

“We are just elated with our wedding experience at Terrain Gardens in Wayland! We took a risk booking the site while it was undergoing construction but it was well worth it. Our venue coordinators met with us on a scheduled basis to cover anything we could possibly think of. They were detail-oriented and just absolutely wonderful to work with. Once the venue was completed, we were able to view the space and were blown away. It is absolutely beautiful. We served the braised short rib, seared shrimp, and rolled lasagna, and each dish was delicious. We felt so cared for by the event managers, wedding attendants, servers, and bartenders who checked-in with us throughout the night. It was such a wonderful experience and we did not have to worry about anything on our wedding night besides celebrating ourselves. Our guests commented on what a lovely time they had.

“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!”

My husband and I had a very specific vision about how we wanted our weekend to come together, and the team was nothing but accommodating to allow us to create the weekend that we envisioned. They were responsive when we had questions, helpful when we needed recommendations and guidance, and prompt to resolve anything that came up throughout the weekend (not that there was much of anything to resolve!!). We could not recommend this venue more highly, and will forever be grateful for the weekend that Scotland Fields allowed us to curate!”
