We worked with Christine who was on top of everything and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. The hotel itself is beautiful and if you’re going for a timeless vibe this is the spot.

We had the pleasure of having my husband’s group Christmas party at Andover Country Club in Andover, MA. We could not have been happier and more impressed by the professionalism of our event coordinator Jordyn. From our very first conversation until the evening of the party, she was unbelievably diligent, respectful of our needs and requests, very courteous, accommodating, and a joy to work with. We had all the details in the contract, but it wasn’t until we saw it , that we realized they went above and beyond to make this event very festive and unforgettable for everyone.

We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding at Olio in Peabody! Sarah, the venue owner and owner of Without a Hitch, was great — responsive, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring every detail of our day was perfect. The venue itself was beautiful and modern, featuring historic hardwood floors and tall windows that added character and warmth to the space. The high ceilings and acoustics made our band sound SO good - everyone was dancing all night! The string lighting and complimentary up-lighting created a festive holiday vibe that our guests loved.

The Boylston Rooms

Easthampton, MA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $6,600

Founded in 1814, The West Boylston Company was a large textile manufacturer in West Boylston, MA. At the turn of the century the company faced a crisis: the site of their mill would be flooded to form the Wachusett Reservoir. Instead of abandoning the mill, the company dismantled it brick by brick and shipped it to its new home in Easthampton, where it was rebuilt on the banks of the Lower Mill Pond. Now, a century later, The Boylston Rooms retains the integrity of the 1814 original mill in every brick and beam. Our rental includes planners and decor at no added cost. Whatever your style, with over 140 pieces of decor, if you can picture it in the space, we can make it happen.

I could not say enough good things about this venue. We're SO glad we decided to get married at The Boylston Rooms! The pictures show for themselves how beautiful the venue (and surrounding areas for photography) are, but the staff are what make this place extra special. From start to finish, everyone we worked with was nothing but professional. They were clear and timely communicators, helped troubleshoot things during the planning process, and came with loads of wedding wisdom that helped set us up for success on the big day. When the big day came, I also appreciated how often their staff checked in - even to make sure I was eating (it's the small things!) - and were ready to jump into support anywhere. A special shout out to Myles, who played a supporting role during our wedding portraits, helping me to keep my very long veil under control! A few other things I'll mention: - Their storage room filled with decor you can borrow is SO helpful. Less that you need to buy (and potentially waste post-wedding) and can even make decision-making easier when there are 1,000 versions of the same item online. - Their wedding suites are great to have available too. Obviously for getting ready, but it's also a nice reprieve if you need a quiet moment during the reception. - The Boylston Rooms only works with one caterer, Myer's Catering. Our guests are STILL raving about the food. (There's more flexibility with other vendors). - The Boylston Rooms also owns/is affiliated with The Wedding Day Trolley, which we used to transport our guests to/from the hotel. My partner and I also took some super fun photos inside of the trolley!

We got married at the Red Lion Inn on October 11, 2025 and it truly was the best day of our lives. The whole process was so seamless – from our initial tour of the Barn to the grand tasting and final planning/details meeting, and all the endless calls and emails in between. Everyone was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our event producer, Sam, went above and beyond to ensure our vision was brought to life. The innkeeper, Andrew, was so helpful in recommending the best room options for family members and was extremely accommodating to our guests. And last but certainly not least, Toufik, was by our side ALL night long making sure our glasses were always full and most importantly that we were fed! The absolute best team - more than we could have asked for! And to top it all off the food was incredible. Our guests still rave about it and the fact that everything was in one location, including the after party, was such a plus! Can’t recommend this venue enough! We are so lucky that we live so close and can visit any time, and have already been back for an overnight stay in the bridal suite (we just couldn’t wait until our anniversary!). We are forever grateful to the wonderful staff at RLI and all our amazing vendors for giving us the wedding of our dreams and the most memorable day of our lives!

When we were searching for a wedding venue, we wanted a place that felt intimate, timeless, and effortlessly romantic, and we found all that and more at The Barn at Blackstone National. From the moment we first toured the property to our last dance, our experience was absolutely perfect. The location is incredibly convenient, yet once you're on the property, you feel a world away. The grounds are stunning, providing the ideal backdrop for a wedding where everything happens in one beautiful place. We started with our ceremony in the beautiful outdoor space, followed by an amazing cocktail hour, and then moved into the reception barn. The barn itself is simply gorgeous, and its timeless charm was the perfect canvas for our vision. What truly elevated our day was the phenomenal staff. They are a well-oiled machine, and our coordinator, Jocelyn, and her team were simply incredible. They were there for anything and everything that came up, providing a sense of calm and assurance throughout the entire day. We never had to worry about a single detail because they had everything under control. And let's talk about the food! The chef prepared a delicious meal that our guests are still raving about weeks later. We've received countless compliments on the quality and taste of everything. The chef's commitment to excellence was truly shown when she even made fresh cookies for our dessert display after feeling that one of the desserts from our bakery vendor had gone bad. That attention to detail is something we will never forget. For couples who want an intimate, romantic, energetic, and timeless wedding, we would recommend The Barn at Blackstone National time and time again. They made our dream wedding a reality.

I had my eye on The Grove at Briar Barn Inn since it was simply a blueprint on an Instagram post. From the start, I knew it was going to be where I would get married someday. There is just something so quintessentially charming about the post and beam restaurant and the quaint New England Inn. The entire experience working with The Grove was great. We picked December 8th for not only the idea of a winter wedding but also for the holiday decor and availability for our preferred vendors. They were flexible in putting together the details and stuck to all the outlined dates and deadlines. We were assigned our wedding coordinator, Jeannine, about six weeks out as they said, and we were able to have our wedding details meeting soon after. The payment portal was easy to use, and the planning pod was intuitive and a great spot to keep important details in order. Jeannine answered all my questions promptly, and in the week leading up to the wedding, she was available for us to drop off all the decor ahead of time and spent time reviewing our vision one last time. On the day of, she was present, available, and helpful. She was detailed and organized and never pushy. She let us have our day and was there to help transition to the different elements seamlessly, paying attention to all the details so we wouldn't have to. Our guests have had only positive things to say about the entire day from the incredible food and the overall atmosphere. The only critique I have of the entire experience is the check-in process at the Inn. We had a 20 room block and ended up with 29 of the 30 rooms booked by our guests. The Inn has a very strict 2pm early check-in for 50 fee or 3pm otherwise check-in. We had a Sunday wedding in December where we had a first look and formal portraits at 2pm before a 4:00 ceremony because of the early sunset. We weren't able to stay Saturday night due to another wedding buy-out. The Grove accommodated me by making the hospitality suite available for us to get ready in; however, the Inn did not accommodate the groom getting ready. We rented out the Silo/Library for 250 to try to have a space for the men to get ready, but they didn't set up the privacy screen and there were too many people milling around for him to get changed in the non-private space. After a lot of inquiry from our wedding coordinator, our officiant, and our makeup artist, they finally let him into the room at 1:45 for the additional 50, but at that point it was only enough time for him to drop his phone and wallet. He ended up changing in the single stall bathroom in the basement of the Inn, which is a nice bathroom of course, but we would have liked a little more flexibility for us to have 1 room with early check-in to give him a bit more privacy. Flipping one room early for the bride and groom doesn't seem like a lot to ask in the grand scheme of the day or even offering some alternatives - we likely would have paid for a full extra night even if we couldn't get into the room the night before just to have the spot, but they didn't give us any options to work with until 1:45 p.m. ahead of 2pm call time. My recommendation for future couples is to negotiate into the wedding contract for something ahead of time if you could potentially run into the same issue, especially if you're out of towners who don't have other options nearby.

We knew from the moment we drove into the parking lot that this was going to be our venue! We had an appointment with Cathy O'Brien (we still keep in touch with her to this day) and were floored with her honesty, advice, excitement, and recommendations that we signed a contract that day. Our wedding and reception were held in Paige Hall in January of 2023 and it was stunning. The staff went above and beyond, and we can honestly say that the entire event went smoothly. The food was amazing and the portions are bigger than we could have expected--not a single guest needed to do a late night Wendy's run as this was not the typical wedding food that we are used to getting at other places. From the event coordinator to the service staff, everyone was incredibly kind and professional. The property itself is comfortable, there is plenty to do on-site as well as in the area, and we recommend opting for renting The Cottage for a post wedding hangout--it is a great spot for those that want to continue spending time together after the reception is over. We have been back to the Publick House more than a few times since the wedding, as we live close enough to do so. Often we will go for dinner, but the wedding package includes a 1yr Anniversary dinner and they will even make you your wedding cake again--and that dinner was delicious. We have felt welcomed each time we have gone back and will probably make our way there this weekend as writing this has brought back a lot of happy memories. We highly recommend this venue and we hope our feedback has been helpful to anyone who is looking into the Publick House.

Special shout out to our day-of coordinator Reagan, our banquet captain Adiana, and Paige and Noora for making our day so special.

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.

From the moment we first reached out to the team at Long Hill, their communication was fast, helpful, hands-on and incredibly kind. They truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was like something out of a fairytale. The venue itself was a picturesque garden, with an ethereal, storybook feel that made our special day feel like it was straight out of a dream. The staff helped us navigate all the timing and logistics, and were especially thoughtful in how they handled the dynamics of our large, blended family. Helena, the event coordinator, was a true gem - she provided invaluable guidance on the floor plans and decor that helped bring our vision to life. From start to finish, the Long Hill team made our wedding day perfect, and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a truly magical experience.

My guests couldn't stop raving about the unique passed appetizers, raw bar and gourmet sandwiches. From my first contact with their Event Planner, Hilary , to the final touches the day of the event, she was responsive, creative and collaborative.

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!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day, and that is largely thanks to the incredible team at Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club—especially our day-of coordinator, Harmony. From the beginning, we chose Ocean Edge because of its unique ability to offer both timeless elegance with the historic mansion and the breezy charm of its beachside venues. It truly gave us the best of both worlds for our coastal Cape Cod wedding. The catering team delivered an unforgettable culinary experience—not just on the wedding day, but also during our tasting, which was a highlight in itself. The marketing team made us feel like celebrities, capturing and sharing our day so beautifully on social media. But the true star of our wedding journey was Harmony. Harmony was the reason everything ran smoothly from start to finish. In the months leading up to the big day, she was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and ensure every detail matched our vision. On the wedding day, she was by my side from the moment I arrived until the very last dance. She oversaw every transition—ceremony, photos, cocktail hour, reception, and after-party—with such grace and precision that we were able to fully enjoy each moment without stress. Harmony has an incredible gift for event coordination. She brought calm, joy, and genuine care to every part of our day. We feel beyond blessed not only to have been married at Ocean Edge, but to have had Harmony and her team bring our dream wedding to life.

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

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding venue. We booked well in advance, which meant I had plenty of questions throughout the planning process. Every single time I reached out, the team was quick to respond, helpful, and incredibly patient. From day one, it was obvious that they genuinely cared about making our wedding everything we wanted it to be. On the wedding day, Ariana was our coordinator, and she was absolutely amazing. She was always nearby making sure Chris and I had everything we needed and checking in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Every time I turned around, someone from the venue was asking if they could get us anything or help in some way. It made us feel so taken care of throughout the entire day. Erin handled our design details and was wonderful to work with. There were a few last-minute adjustments I wanted made, and she handled them quickly and seamlessly. Everything looked exactly how I had envisioned it. One thing that really stood out was how experienced and organized the entire team was. They clearly know weddings inside and out. They kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes so we could focus on enjoying the day. The food was absolutely incredible. We attended a tasting beforehand, which was such a fun experience, and somehow the wedding-day meal was even better. Guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. The drinks were equally impressive. We chose signature cocktails based solely on ideas we liked and trusted the venue to bring them to life, and they absolutely nailed it. We received compliments on them all night long. I was initially a little nervous about the venue hosting multiple weddings on the same day, but that concern completely disappeared once we experienced it firsthand. Our ceremony and reception felt completely separate and private. Once we left the ceremony space, we were in our own building and focused entirely on our celebration. I didn’t even see the other bride all day. It never felt crowded or shared, and it certainly didn’t take away from the experience. Another unexpected bonus was the surrounding area. There are so many beautiful lake houses and Airbnbs nearby, which made it easy for our friends and family to stay close and turn the wedding into a full weekend experience. The venue itself is stunning, the food and drinks are incredible, and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. We had the best day of our lives, and a huge part of that is because of the team that made it all happen. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

We cannot recommend Pagu highly enough for your wedding or event. From the very first email, they were unlike any of the venues we had reached out to. Overall, Pagu is flexible, which not only made wedding planning MUCH less stressful, but it made our wedding personal to us. Every time we had a question, they had an answer and a solution. You’re not messing around with rentals for plates, chairs, tables, linens or tons of decor. The space is beautiful and already functions so well as a restaurant, allowing you to just be their guest on your wedding day. The FOOD! Multiple guests came up to us and said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Everything was hot, fresh, aesthetically plated and delicious. The family style sharing was relaxed, fun and nobody had to wait in line. The cake was so light and beautifully decorated. Day-of, what really stood out was the exceptional service and kindness we received from the entire team at Pagu. Everyone who works there was so positive, accommodating, and thoughtful. When I was “hiding” before the ceremony, the team delivered an entire tea/coffee service with some of the food to make sure I got something to eat! When we got back to our hotel, we found a portion of each dish in our fridge, just because they heard we hadn’t finished our second course or dessert while we were socializing. It was above and beyond thoughtful! Beyond taking extremely good care of us, all of our guests commented that it was one of the most relaxing weddings because the Pagu team thought of everything. At most weddings, there’s not a server checking in with you about your allergies, restrictions, and if you would like a drink. Since Pagu is a restaurant, you get outstanding restaurant-quality service. They even made a last minute, individual substitution for a new dietary restriction on the spot, and allowed that guest to enjoy the food, too! Another huge bonus was there was almost no bar line, since they’re used to making drinks for this many people! Other highlights of our experience include doing the cocktail creation session with Jimmy. We aren’t big drinkers, so we almost didn’t do this, but we are so glad we did - it was a blast, and the guests loved the personal cocktails. We highly recommend it! The space is gorgeous, the people are a dream, and the food was outstanding. Amanda (the venue coordinator/manager) was so easy to work with and on top of everything. Even our very traditional families (who were very skeptical when we said we were getting married at a restaurant) said afterwards it was one of the best weddings they’d been to.

Donna was truly the MVP of our wedding day. From the moment we started working with her, she made us feel completely supported, organized and confident that everything was under control. Her attention to detail, professionalism and calm presence allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about logistics. Not only is the venue absolutely breathtaking, but Donna ensures every detail comes together flawlessly. The grounds, the views, and the overall atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for our wedding and her expertise made it shine even more. On the day of the wedding, Donna handled every moving piece seamlessly. She kept the timeline running perfectly, coordinated vendors, answered questions before we even had to ask them and solved any issues behind the scenes without us ever knowing. She made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of. What sets Donna apart is how much she genuinely cares. She treated our wedding as if it were her own and went above and beyond in ways we never expected. Thanks to her, our day was everything we dreamed of and more.
