The Colonial Hotel was the perfect place to host our wedding. We stayed over the night before and got ready there the morning of, and had our cocktail hour and reception under the tent. From the first email, Mary was beyond helpful and communicative. She made the entire process as smooth as possible. I always felt like she had it under control! She even let us drop off our decor a couple weeks in advance, and then her and her team handled all of the setup. Although I was extremely involved in the planning during my engagement, Mary made it easy to enjoy the day and forget about all of the little things. The convenience of the Colonial Grille made it easy to continue on to our after party. The food was great and so were the drinks! The best part was finishing pictures and immediately having Mary deliver my new husband & I our signature cocktails without having to ask. Their partnership with Gerardos also made the cake process extremely easy. Would 10000000% recommend working with Mary & her team for your big day!

From our first conversation with the team at Harrington Farm, we knew they understood our vision without us having to spell everything out. They took our ideas and ran with them, creating the dream wedding we'd imagined but couldn't quite articulate on our own. What impressed us most was how they handled every detail under one roof—from the beautiful grounds to the catering to the decor—which made the whole planning process feel simple. The venue itself has this charming, natural elegance that felt perfect for our spring celebration, and honestly, it didn't need much help from us to look stunning. The staff was responsive and independent in their thinking, which meant they came to us with solutions instead of endless questions. We couldn't have asked for a better partner in bringing our day to life, and we'd recommend Harrington Farm to any couple looking for a venue that truly gets it.

Eliza and the Herb Lyceum staff were absolutely incredible for our wedding. From the first time we toured and met with Eliza, we felt an immediate sense of ease and comfort. Having our wedding at the Herb Lyceum with Eliza as our coordinator allowed for the perfect amount of structure and organization; we never had to worry about whether things would run smoothly. At the same time, they provided the flexibility and accommodations to make the day exactly how we wanted it and to feel very "us". Eliza is organized, communicative, calm, and experienced, and she always made the planning process fun. The Herb Lyceum itself provided a backdrop for our wedding that was beautiful in a relaxed, natural way.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience than what we had at The Groton Inn. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was something special—charming New England character, cozy fireplaces, an on-site art gallery, and beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces to suit any style of celebration. But what truly made our wedding unforgettable was working with Eleanor. She was organized, warm, and incredibly thoughtful every step of the way. We felt supported from day one, and when the big day came, we didn’t have to lift a finger. Set-up, coordination, and clean-up were all handled flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. Everything about our day felt personal and intentional, never rushed or cookie-cutter. We are still getting compliments from our guests!

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!

She also has the cutest bulldogs on the planet, and we were actually sad the next day picking up the remaining decorations because we wanted to keep working with her. You really don't have to do much to the space to make it beautiful, and with a Director as involved and as helpful as Jen, you'll have the most fairy tale wedding day.

From the moment we first inquired about hosting our wedding at Searles Castle, the team was responsive, attentive, and flexible in accommodating our needs. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a unique and well-appointed space that felt both spacious and intimate for our special day. Shawn and his team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went smoothly - they were super accommodating of our guests with mobility issues and I never found myself worrying as the bride, confident that the entire day would flow seamlessly. No request felt too big, and the team was very helpful when we needed direction on what to do. Having the day of coordinator included here is such a big benefit, and they rock at it. While booking we were reading all the five-star reviews for Searles, we knew we were choosing a great venue, but experiencing it firsthand was even better than we could have imagined. I've heard so many horror stories from other brides about their venues, but Searles was organized, attentive, and truly professional throughout the entire process. Not a single thing went wrong. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day at this beautiful and unique space! Thank you!

We hosted our wedding at Hyla Brook Estate in May 2026, and I don’t think we could have found a better venue if we tried. HBE is so stunning, and it provided us such a beautiful place for all our favorite people to connect. The building really captured our laid-back and whimsical vision, and all the amenities (the bridal/groom suites, the many bathrooms, the decor collection) the venue offered took so much logistical stress off of our plates. The HBE team was literally squeegeeing and leaf-blowing water off our ceremony space after it rained all morning, just to make sure we were able to hold our ceremony outside. Kim and the HBE team truly go above and beyond to ensure your event is beautiful and goes off without a hitch. Amanda Muir was our day-of coordinator, and she handled everything with such ease and grace. She tackled every request and quirky detail of our wedding with enthusiasm and positivity. Having her in the building was literally like having an extra bestie to hang out with all day, and knowing that she was taking care of everything put me at such ease and really allowed me to enjoy the day to the fullest. We really cannot recommend Hyla Brook Estate enough!!

We got married on May 30th, 2026 at The Westbrook Inn and it was everything that we had hoped for in a wedding weekend, and then 100x more than that. The team, the venue, the grounds, the care, the weekend package - every single thing was perfectly run, beautifully executed, and well communicated. We cannot recommend The Westbrook Inn highly enough to any couple looking to have the best weekend of their life. In planning, Marc was exceptionally organized, communicative, and helpful. Once the weekend came, the entire Sirigusa family was so delightful and professional that it became a topic of conversation among many of our guests, who noted how warm everything felt and how much they appreciated the family environment. Specifically with the weekend itself, Marc and Karen were above and beyond anyone’s best hopes. They were on top of every detail, ahead of any potential setback or obstacle, and added to the joy, fun, and energy of it all. There are a million moving parts, and they were moving us through it all fluidly, calmly, and easily. They were so on top of everything that we were able to just breathe and enjoy the day. The grounds, tent, and property were all so beautifully decorated, colorful, warm, and inviting, and because the whole weekend was in one place, it all felt very familial and backyard wedding-y, while being handled and directed by a professional’s professional. The flowers were in bloom, the trees were gorgeous and made it all feel very private and cut off from any noise from the outside world, and the house and tent were just beautiful spaces. As for our weekend package, that was a massive draw - and in retrospect was even better than we had hoped. The convenience of checking in on Friday and not having to leave the property for the entire weekend made everything feel so easy. We were able to even drop off decor with them in advance, so that we had no worries on Friday checking in for the weekend. So many other venues that we looked at required same day drop off because they usually had a wedding the night prior, which felt rushed / stressful. Anything Westbrook can do to alleviate stress, streamline efforts, and reduce burden on the family throughout the weekend - they do it! Everything was so beautiful and well run, we can’t imagine a single thing we would change - and we are so lucky to have had the best weekend of our life here!

They went above and beyond by sharing table decor ideas and suggestions that really helped us shape the look of our reception.

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!

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!
