Carissa, Lynn and the whole Hartman's team did an incredible job on our wedding. Carissa made delicious food and worked with us to dial in exactly what flavors we wanted to pull in from our respective cultures. Her cake was delicious and we could not get enough even after she set aside big pieces for us to take home. Lynn was wonderful to work with on the flowers and decorations. It was so nice to bounce ideas with her, hear her suggestions on the color scheme and what flowers she could grow or order or make for our wedding. They worked with our budget giving us options we felt happy with, mixing and matching some of the premium offerings with more affordable ones. We felt heard and welcomed every time we stopped by the venue in the months before the wedding and even since. The forest and flowers on the property were beautiful and lush during our fall wedding. We chose to rent the BnB rooms which made life so much easier during our hectic days. We could not recommend them enough.

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!

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 are so happy having gone with Terrain Gardens and would do it all over again.

We had the best experience with the Bedford Event Center. Everyone was so kind, professional, and most importantly, approachable. Communication was clear, costs were discussed upfront and were very reasonable. There were no surprise surcharges that we needed to worry about. They provided and set up linens, tables and chairs, and we could bring in pretty much any caterer/food we wanted. They have fun features like uplighting and the cloud over the ballroom. They worked with us to create a signature drink that was a hit. Not to mention, it’s gorgeous! They’ve done a great job creating a space that can be used for a variety of events. In short, working with the Bedford Event Center was a breeze and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

My husband and I visited Scott Farm on two occasions before our June 2025 wedding and will continue to treasure it as a destination. The staff, especially Suzanne Tessitore, are absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to help us produce the (slightly alternative) wedding of our dreams. Our 80 guests could comfortably gather in the Apple Barn, by the brook, and at Naulakha for our send-off brunch the morning after. The natural beauty and calm of Dummerston combined with the beautiful, quirky features of the property like the stone walls and cafe bar really made the whole event feel like an escape from reality. We were able to rent all the houses on the property for ourselves and our immediate families, which was a great way to spend lots of time together (and have help close by on set-up day!). It was personally meaningful to me as a native Vermonter to share this state with our people, especially at a venue that encapsulates so many of the values and features that I love about it. I could go on and on! Some more key points: - We were a very (very) DIY couple and appreciated the control we were given for space usage, setup, and flow of the day -- we did not need a lot of hand-holding and we never felt like we were being "managed" - I have a family member who uses a wheelchair and he was able to get around the Apple Barn and surrounding grounds just fine - We ordered apple cider doughnuts from the farm as part of our wedding dessert and they were A - The vendors that Scott Farm suggested to us were all great, and as someone easily overwhelmed by decision fatigue I appreciated that in this relatively remote area there weren't too many options - Many of our guests were LGBTQIA and (not surprisingly for Vermont) were very comfortable - My father in law wanted to bake sourdough bread for our welcome dinner and Suzanne brought us her personal dutch oven for him to use!?! I would recommend Scott Farm as a venue for anyone looking for a naturally beautiful, simple venue highlighting the Vermont landscape and local food economy. We will treasure these memories forever.

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 would 1000% recommend Windsor Mountain. The camp is beautiful, but we have to start with the staff. Gabby, our point person, was the kindest and most thoughtful human. We loved working with her. When we first toured the camp, we were sold not only by the setting, but by the fact that we would get to plan our weekend with her. In the months leading up to the wedding, we had a few meetings with Gabby to go over details and talk through our vision. She shared a full Google Drive for us with FAQs, room spreadsheets, food menus and more. We also attended a food tasting in the summer and got to tour the camp again. On the Friday morning before the wedding, we met with her and handed off everything. She and the entire camp staff took it from there so we did not have to think about a single thing all weekend. We had a perfect weekend. The staff were incredible, the food was delicious and our guests had so much fun. The location itself is stunning. The lake, the trees, the ceremony site, the cabins and buildings, open fields etc. made the entire camp feel peaceful, scenic and special. The lakefront treehouse for the couple to stay in is also beautiful. They have a solid rain plan, they worked with us to stay within our food budget and the activities are endless. There are a variety of cabins for guests and a house for those who may need extra amenities, such as elderly guests or parents with infants. Guests loved having access to the lake, zip line, ropes course, walking trails, etc. Windsor Mountain is amazing and we are so grateful we chose it.

Tonight I was blown away! I have been a full time wedding DJ for 18 years. My company, Cape Tunes, hosts about 250 weddings every season. I personally DJ about 85 weddings a season. There’s a new venue in Derry, NH called Hyla Brook Estate that opened in October 2024. Sadly, many venues treat vendors trash. Hyla Brook Estate was the complete opposite of what a vendor expects. I won’t mention how amazingly beautiful the venue is, I’m sure plenty of couples will review this aspect. I have to speak from a vendors point of view. A few days prior to the wedding, I got the “I’m your coordinator email, here are our policies”. I walked into the venue to clarify where to unload and was told “whatever works for you”. You mean I don’t have to trek through a kitchen then park a mile away?!?! There were two coordinators named Ashley who were extremely nice. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Kim. Wow, amazing business person with an awesome vision! Some highlights … * Easy load in * Dedicated WiFi for DJs only! * No vendor chicken!!! * Vendors can eat when they want! * Apps and dessert? YUP! They won’t chop your hand off like other venues! SIT DOWN FOR THIS ONE … There is a vendor lounge! With a stocked fridge and snacks!!! I felt compelled to post this for all vendors lucky enough to work at this new property. A note to couples … happy vendors make your day rock a little more

First Zola review! The short and sweet review of this venue is that it was perfect. If it’s details you’re looking for, then we have those for you too. Prior to getting engaged, we had discussed what our ideal wedding day would look like and had both agreed that a mountain-top ceremony was what we both envisioned. For the moment we turned into the Pat’s Peak parking lot and saw the beautifully maintained grounds, rustic ski-village inspired buildings, and cozy lodge we had a feeling we had found our wedding venue. The wedding team at Pat’s Peak was incredible to work with, helping us through every single step and answering every question we threw their way. A huge standout to us as a couple was how accommodating they were of our requests and the level of personal touches we were permitted to do which made our day extra special. While it is of course important to hear what the bride and groom thought of the venue, an aspect we’d like to add to this review is what our guests thought. It’s been two weeks exactly since our wedding at Pat’s Peak and we’re still receiving non-stop compliments from our guests on the venue we chose. We opted for the summit ceremony and we will remember that chairlift ride and view from the top as we got married for the rest of our lives. The weather was perfect for us (which we know is not always the case) but a BIG reason we picked Pat’s Peak is because we liked the weather back up options that were provided to us. Our guests RAVED about the chairlift ride to the top for the ceremony and the scenic ride down for the reception. Special call out here for the lift operators who went above and beyond to be friendly and genuinely excited for our big day. As the bride and groom, we loved the ability to set up lawn games like giant Jenga and cornhole on the deck that provided the perfect environment for guests to enjoy a cocktail, mingle, and connect during cocktail hour and the reception. We opted for a buffet style meal, which provided more than enough food for our guest count of around 100. Everything from the apps, buffet dinner, s’mores bar and ice cream sundae bar was absolutely delicious. To wrap this review up, we’d like to call out Pat’s Peak staff including Brigid and Mary Beth. These two (including our bartenders, and the rest of the amazing staff) worked tirelessly in perfect coordination with our vendors to make sure our day was completely perfect and ran smoothly. We cannot thank them enough for all their help and hard work. Prior to our wedding, we had no connection or tie to Pat’s Peak but now, it will forever hold a special place in our hearts. If you’re considering Pat’s Peak and looking for a quaint, rustic, and inexplicably cozy wedding venue, we’ve found it.

We had a 100-person wedding this month (July 2026) and are incredibly happy that we chose the Stevens Estate. From our initial tour to the wedding day, Amy Shore was a pure delight and we had a lot of fun coordinating the event with her on our side. The venue provides a clear planning timeline with 1:1 meetings to review logistics and address any questions or concerns. It was incredibly organized and allowed our event to run smoothly. A big priority for us was a first-rate guest experience and WOW did they deliver. Endless compliments from our guests about the food/bar, the excellent staff/service, and the beautiful grounds. It made us so happy to see our family and friends well-treated and well-fed. Thank you Stevens Estate for making our day so memorable! P.S. I still dream of the spicy tuna scallion pancakes and bacon wrapped scallops. And don't get me started on the short rib! Photos by Violet Cristina Photography

My husband and I got married at Granite Rose on October 12th, and we’re still talking about how it was truly the wedding of our dreams. From the moment we first saw the venue (that chandelier sealed the deal!), we knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our day. 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! We’ll always recommend Granite Rose, or any Wedgewood Weddings venue, to anyone who wants a smooth, enjoyable wedding planning experience. We’re just so grateful for how everything turned out.

We had such a fantastic time hosting our wedding at the Multicultural Arts Center! We absolutely fell in love with it when we went for a tour, and the wedding day couldn't have been better. Taylor and the other venue staff were so helpful throughout the planning process and answered about a million questions for us. We had the wedding ceremony in the courtyard, cocktail hour in the art gallery, and dinner and dancing in the ballroom, and each space was so beautiful. It was wonderful to be able to show our guests a historic part of Cambridge and support a local arts nonprofit for our big day.

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

Vanessa, who resides on site at Veasey Park, made our planning and event execution a total breeze! Her recommendations for bartender and tent/event setup were exactly what we needed.
