We had our wedding at the Colonial Hotel in July, and it was truly the best experience from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. With the pagoda outside for the ceremony and the amazing outdoor tent for the reception. We had family traveling who got the pleasure of staying at the hotel, as did me and my Husband, and everything was clean and comfortable. Access to the pool and hot tub, and their amazing restaurant and bar. The day of the wedding I was well taken care of, and didn’t have to worry about a single thing, everything was decorated and prepared perfectly, they took my visions and made them come to life! Both me and my husband got many updates on the day of the wedding, making sure we knew where we needed to be and what would be happening next, which helped tremendously! We couldn’t be anymore pleased, and we will forever recommend the Colonial Hotel!

My husband and I got married here in May. We could not have been happier with our experience with the Groton Inn. The Groton Inn made the wedding planning process seamless and low stress. We had so much fun at our tasting, and we cannot thank Eleanor enough for her support in developing the day-of timeline and patiently answering all our questions. We relied heavily on her experience to make the day go smoothly. The Inn even coordinated the cake from Dolce Amar, which our guests raved about. Our wedding party, immediate family, and some guests stayed at the Inn with us for the duration of the weekend. It felt cozy, supportive, and fun. If we needed anything, we could simply run up to our rooms and grab it. The Inn also provided my husband and me with an upgraded room that had a beautiful double-door Juliet balcony with gorgeous views of Gibbet Hill. The day of the wedding went so smoothly, again in large part due to the competence of the Groton Inn. We also benefited from having a florist right across the street (Lavender) and the hair and makeup right next door (Body, Mind, Spirit Salon). This made the entire experience remarkably convenient and gave us very little to worry about on the day itself. The bridal party got ready in the Fuller Lounge, which had plenty of space to lounge, watch TV, eat lunch, and enjoy time together. The Groton Inn coordinated our lunch, which was delivered both to the lounge and upstairs to the groomsmen. The Fuller Lounge was a perfect escape to relax and feel calm and supported on the big day. One thing to note is that the Inn hosts multiple events, including events that were wrapping up earlier on the day of our wedding. However, since the whole event space was reserved for our wedding, by the time we were dressed and ready for photos, everything felt calm, private, and focused on our celebration. We were impressed by how seamlessly the team handled everything behind the scenes. On our wedding day, the forecast outlook was constantly changing. Relying on Eleanor and her experience reassured us that the right course of action would be taken, despite the uncertainty. The Inn went as far as to set up for both possibilities (indoor and outdoor ceremonies), which felt was truly above and beyond. Everything went according to schedule, our guests enjoyed the food and drinks, and we danced the night away. There is not much more we could have asked for. Thank you again to Eleanor and the whole team at the Groton Inn.

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.

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!!!

We couldn't be happier with our August 2026 wedding at Hartman's! From beginning to end, we felt truly cared for and supported by the family. If you are looking for a venue that is homey and warm, this is it! Carissa worked hard to build us a menu that infused my husband's Puerto Rican heritage and helped us make thoughtful decisions throughout the process; no ask was every too big! We really appreciate that Hartman's handled the food, flowers, day of coordinating, etc., so we had very few vendors to find on our own (really just DJ and photographer-- both excellent suggestions from the venue). Their pricing was very reasonable and transparent. Truly an absolute gem tucked away in central MA. Thank you so much, Carissa and family for the unforgettable weekend!

Manchester country club was the perfect venue for us. I can't think of a single con for the venue. Everything was amazing. There are so many pretty areas and it's separated from the rest of the country club and there is only one wedding per day so it feels very private. We got married on the balcony which was gorgeous. All the food was really, really good. The drinks were really good. My signature drink was a mojito and it was a perfect mojito. Both Kim and Fallon were pros and very easy to work with and incredibly helpful. In my opinion the biggest separator between this venue and other venues we looked at was the bridal suite. We got access to the bridal suite at 9am and the bridal suite is a room that was made to be a bridal suite. It's got a sitting area, a makeup and hair counter and chairs, an area with 3 walls of mirrors, and a private bathroom. The mirror area made really nice getting ready photos. My bridesmaids and I spent hours getting ready and it was so nice just to show up in the morning, have the hair and makeup team come to the venue and just be at the venue for the rest of the day and not have to worry about changing locations. We also were free to take photos before the ceremony so a couple hours before the ceremony we took our first look, wedding party, and close family members photos. We spent the first 20 minutes of the cocktail hour getting the remaining photos and then enjoyed our own cocktail hour. We looked at other venues where you were not allowed at the venue until as little as 90 minutes before your ceremony and that was not for us. My goal for the wedding was to minimize stress and be able to enjoy everything about the day and Manchester Country Club was great for that. Everything was easy. There were zero surprises with the bill and zero hidden fees. Considering how good the food, bar, and overall experience was, I was very happy with the prices. Our guests loved the venue too. Just an amazing venue. This was the second to last venue we toured, out of a list of six we wanted to see in person, and by the end of the tour I knew this was our venue.

They were wonderful through the whole process and so prompt to respond and have great attention to detail. They constantly made sure we had everything we needed all day and that we got to try all our wonderful food. Our guests raved about the venue space and the food.

I cannot say enough great things about Hyla Brook Estate! From the very first virtual tour we took with Kim, we knew it was the perfect place for our March wedding. From start to finish, Kim and the entire team at HBE were communicative, helpful, encouraging, and kind. All my bridesmaids and many guests commented on how well-run everything was the entire day of the wedding. We had a slightly larger guest list for having everything inside, and Kim and her staff executed it all flawlessly. The space itself is STUNNING, and utilizing the Something Borrowed Collection is an insanely great value! I did all my own flowers and they let me get well over a hundred bud vases the day before the wedding. I brought all the vases to the venue filled on the morning of my wedding and Kim and Lindsey did an incredible job laying everything out. Top to bottom the entire process was just so easy. My guests had a great time, we had a great time - what else could you want?? We even got the most beautiful personalized care package from the team - wooden cutting board, soft blanket, candle, tumblers, canvas bag, etc. Thank you so much to Kim, Amanda, Lindsay, the Ashley's, and the entire staff at Hyla Brook Estate!!

My husband and I got married at Lake Shore Village Resort in May 2025, and it was the wedding weekend of our dreams. If you want a venue where everyone can stay together, relax, and celebrate in one beautiful lakeside location, LSVR is it. We wanted a camp-style but elevated experience, and LSVR delivered beyond expectations. Marissa, our coordinator, was amazing: organized, calm, and on top of every detail. Even when rain forced us to move our ceremony into the tent (along with all the other May/June Saturday brides in New England), she and the team handled it flawlessly and the ceremony and reception ended up feeling incredibly intimate and special. We had 130 guests on-site for three days of pickleball tournaments, a pizza welcome party, kayaking, volleyball, and an after-party bonfire (thanks to Leif, who kept the fire going all night). The farewell pancake breakfast hosted by Michael and his wife was the perfect ending to the weekend. We cannot recommend this venue or team enough. Our guests are still talking about it and so are we. Thank you Marissa and LSVR!! We can't wait to come back one day!

Everything about this venue was incredible, from the picturesque mansion to the wonderful, supportive staff. From our very first interactions with the sales team (Helen) to our day-of staff (Casey & May), everyone was extremely professional, helpful, and a pleasure to be around. They were gracious in answering our questions, calming our nerves, and being an assuring force throughout it all. We are so grateful for the love and care they put into our special day to keep everything organized and on track. Fireside's food was phenomenal and all the late night snacks and desserts were a huge hit with our guests. There was also a nice flow throughout the night and our guests commented that they were grateful that they knew where to go at every point in the wedding. We had rain on our wedding day but we are pleased to say that the ceremony under the tent was still magical, and actually created a nice moody atmosphere and our photos came out amazing. The heaters kept the tent dry and comfortable all night. We hope someone else we know gets married at the Stevens Estate soon so that we can attend!

People raved about the dinner buffet, bar snacks, delicious cocktails, and friendly waitstaff.

My wife & I had the privilege to get married surrounded by our friends & family at the beautiful Montague Retreat Center in June of 2024. There’s a seemingly endless list of what drew us to MRC, but some key features to highlight: - Incredibly beautiful indoor & outdoor spaces - Comfortable, spacious, and accessible on-site lodging options - Flexible weekend buyout, enabling us to bring all of our ideas to life without much restriction or hurdles - Wheelhouse Catering: some of the best wedding food we’ve ever tasted in our lives - All of Montague staff, especially Jason Jason deserves his own dedicated review, but from the planning stages all the way through until the end of our weekend, Jason made himself available and ready to help. Jason referred several our vendors that made our day go off without a hitch, all of whom brought creative and personal touches that made our day so special. He consistently went above and beyond day of as well, from catching decorations that needed to be put out, to being hands-on assisting guests that needed extra help, and facilitating vendors to ensure everything was in its right place. His knowledge and general presence brought a calming energy that really helped us feel at home at MRC. For our wedding weekend (170 guests), we really took advantage of all we could at MRC. We observed first hand and heard from guests after our wedding that they felt they had plenty of space to enjoy themselves comfortably through the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. With the full weekend rented, we used every square inch that the venue offered: - Friday: Portable Brick Oven Pizza in front of the Great Hall - Saturday AM: family provided breakfast buffet near the dining tent - Ceremony: Outdoor up on the ceremony ring - Cocktail Hour: Custom Poetry and plenty of activities all around the barn - Reception: Live band with stage lighting & sound; DJ later in the evening - Saturday Night: Late night fire pit & snacks for the wedding party - Sunday AM: Bagel sandwiches from Tandem Bagel in the lower level of the barn We can’t stress enough how perfect our weekend was at MRC. Montague Retreat Center will always hold a special place in our hearts, as it left a lasting impact on not only us, but our friends and family as well. At the end of our wedding weekend, many of our family members suggested that we rent out the space for a night every few years for a recurring big family bash. We may have to do just that!

Cambridge Boat Club is a social and rowing club, located on the banks of the Charles River overlooking Eliot Bridge. Originally built in 1909, CBC was picked up in its entirety and rolled upstream to its current location in 1947, to make room for the building of Memorial Drive. Featuring vaulted ceilings and dark exposed beams akin to a ski chalet, and double french doors opening to a full length veranda, CBC offers a unique, rustic setting for any event.

The Cambridge Boat Club was the perfect choice for our New England fall-themed wedding! It is an absolutely gorgeous location on the river with just the right amount of historic charm. We had originally considered going with all-inclusive venues, but ultimately opted for the flexibility we had with the CBC to craft our own vision. The venue features two distinct rooms, a larger room called the Drinkwater room, which can be used for the wedding dinner, the Club Room, which was used for cocktail hour and the dance floor, and a porch, which has a stunning view. The layout perfectly accommodated both the party enthusiasts and our more introverted guests, who preferred quieter spaces for rest and socialization away from the dance floor. Opting for this venue requires a more DIY approach compared to all-inclusive options. Since it is a historic building, there are some restrictions to be aware of, e.g. no sparklers or ceiling drapery, and existing wall decor generally need to stay on the wall. This was no issue for us since we had a clear vision for the wedding theme and decor, and enlisted the help of Tastings Catering (highly recommend, since they have previous experience working in this space and also handle some of the decor) and Designlight. Major shoutout to Katie Donnelly, the club manager at Cambridge Boat Club, who always responded in record time to all our inquiries and provided helpful guidance. With everyone's help, we were able to create the wedding of our dreams!

We recently had a wedding rehearsal dinner at Gallifords. We are not from the area and the wedding venue gave us a list of suggestions for the rehearsal dinner. We tried several other venues but was most impressed with Gallifords. Initially we were skeptical about having the event at the zoo. Gallifords was the most accommodating of any other restaurant. The private function room came with a private patio with views of the zoo. We had three staff members take care of our event. The food was outstanding. The staff was beyond outstanding and made the event even more special.
