From start to finish, Sydney was absolutely amazing! She answered all of our questions, was incredibly responsive, and remained flexible throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, Sydney was on top of every detail, making sure everything flowed seamlessly. Even when unexpected mishaps came up, she handled every situation with professionalism, grace, and a calm demeanor that put us at ease. Our bridal attendant Amy was top notch and was a pleasure to work with. Avenir is a stunning venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to celebrate our wedding there. The entire staff was warm, friendly, and attentive, making both us and our guests feel so well taken care of. We are truly grateful to Sydney and the entire Avenir team for helping make our wedding day so memorable!

WILLOWDALE DELIVERS ON EVERY LEVEL!!! We could not have imagined a more perfect day in our wildest dreams and the Willowdale venue and team were a HUGE part of that. The Coach House Suite was beautiful and clean and a great way to start our day. The mansion and surrounding park showed off for our fall wedding - the landscaping was impeccable, the set up under the tent made our mouths drop, and the team (with special shout out to Jeanine) executed every one of our many details. The food was delicious - like actually good not just good for a wedding. The whole team at Willowdale was calm and knew how to execute on the day-of. They made having our pup there for the ceremony easy and meaningful. They also have a great list of star studded vendors (especially our DJ - Mark Dixon!). The team also ensured we could incorporate cultural traditions seamlessly. And the cookies!! Could not recommend more highly! One tip for the brides with a million details - the Willowdale team is incredible, but they do not have the capacity to plan all your details (they are too busy killing it for the couples getting married that month at the venue). If you have a lot of moving parts, might be worth a planner.

We had our wedding at the Villa in the tent this June and it was truly a dream! From the very start of wedding planning, the event team worked closely with us every step of the way. Jocelyn was our event producer and she truly was so helpful, thorough and made everything so easy. The night of our wedding, all of the staff worked so hard and were so kind. All of our guests complimented the service and the event as a whole - we even heard it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. The tent itself was as beautiful as the day we toured it, the grounds were beautiful and full of florals. The appetizers and buffet dinner were fabulous, and we got so much positive feedback from our guests. The entire team at the Villa was amazing, and I’m so thankful for Jocelyn and her team. Thank you so much for everything!

TL;DR - there is plenty of space, the acoustics are awesome, the amenities are plenty and of great quality, and the staff is very friendly and helpful! They have some rules due to the historic nature of the building, but they weren't a problem and the owners will help you figure things out. We rented this space for our wedding. We chose it for a few reasons: -it's very spacious, but the acoustics were still incredible -it's in the middle of town -hotels are a short drive away, plenty of rides available -there is a small lift for those with mobility issues (we had a couple) -the facilities were all clean and new -it is climate-controlled They also supply plenty of chairs and tables, and offer a handful of lighting options (at additional cost) that really make the space feel comfy and welcoming. It's worth noting that Olio is based in a historic building, so there are rules in place to protect the walls, floors, and everything overhead. We didn't find the rules to be a problem, and the owner, Sarah, was very communicative and happy to work with us to satisfy both their rules and our vision. It is also worth noting that, for catering, Olio has a catalog of their own partnered/approved vendors (all full-service) that are trained to work within the rules of the venue. Caterers were available at multiple price points and a variety of cuisines to give plenty of options for people. There is an option to bring in other vendors, but at additional cost due to training. We went with Vinwood Caterers (from their catalog) for our wedding, and were absolutely blown away with the quality of their food and service. Back to the venue itself... When looking online, the pictures were all stunning, but the idea of getting married in a room with concrete walls was admittedly a little off-putting. Once we visited in person, though, we immediately fell in love with it. The nice view of Main Street through the windows and the natural lighting (and later the market lighting and up-lighting) really make the place feel more warm and welcoming than you might expect. There was virtually zero echo in there despite it being so big and open, and the patterning of the concrete is weirdly charming in person, probably thanks to the warm lighting. Pair that with good A/C in the summer and the other things listed above, and we were sold! On the big day, it all paid off and the space felt just as warm and welcoming as we'd hoped. Full-service catering was expensive, but they took care of almost literally everything - including setting up, moving, and breaking down furniture throughout the event - and still provided top notch food and drink. Well worth the cost to not stress about managing all the furniture ourselves and getting out on time. The venue's staff were there to make sure everything was working and kept us informed of things before and during the event. Overall - very glad we went with Olio despite the restrictions. Well worth the time and money for probably the best day of our lives yet!

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.

From the moment we walked into The Boylston Rooms, we knew it was the right choice for our wedding.

Out of the many decisions we had to make throughout our wedding planning, choosing this venue truly was our best one. We would choose it over and over again! It’s a beautiful venue and we loved how the outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all separate spaces but right next to each other. The best part of all is the service they provide. Months before the wedding you are given an event producer & they help you plan the day. We didn’t need our own wedding coordinator at all. Our event producer was Anne and she made the whole process just so easy! She had answers to any questions we had. Our wedding day went so smoothly & Anne is great at running the show while keeping the energy fun & light! We really got to just shut our minds off & enjoy our day stress-free thanks to the wonderful staff.

We cannot thank Lauryn enough for making our wedding at Harrington Farm unforgettable! As our event specialist, she was with us every step of the way, always just a phone call or email away. When the rain started the moment I got to the altar, Lauryn didn’t hesitate—she ran to get umbrellas for us and our parents, ensuring we stayed dry during such an important moment. Her quick thinking and preparedness in that unexpected situation really highlighted her dedication and care. Throughout the entire process, Lauryn’s communication and attention to detail were remarkable. She had everything we could possibly need on hand during the wedding, prepared for any potential emergency. Thanks to her, our day ran smoothly, and we could relax and enjoy every moment. We highly recommend Lauryn to any couple looking for an organized, thoughtful, and professional event specialist. She truly made our wedding day perfect!

We recently held our wedding ceremony and reception at the Hampshire House in Beacon Hill. Sydney was the Catering Sales Manager who coordinated our event. When we were looking for a venue for our wedding it was important to us that the space felt like it had lots of character and enchantment. I wanted my guests to feel like they were being transported to another time and place and have a wonderful experience through the visual presentation. Upon touring the Hampshire House, we immediately fell in love with the sophistication of the old Bostonian mansion, the library with its wooden shelves and gorgeous fireplace, the warm and rich colors of the space with its ornate décor and intimate charm. The location is fantastic with the Boston Public Garden directly across the street which made for magical photos with the fall foliage. Hampshire House evoked the exact whimsical and romantic feeling that we were looking for. Sydney and her team worked diligently with us from the first steps of planning through scheduling, menu selection, rentals and coordination of vendor logistics with load in and out, etc. Sydney offered great insight and experience into the planning process and was there to make sure our big day was everything we could have dreamt of. I felt that the Hampshire House team thought of every detail to make us feel special and as for day of logistics, I was so pleased to find that they took care of essentially everything leaving no added stress to our day. They were very communicative and accommodating to our requests and even held on to some items for us that had been forgotten after the reception until we were able to come back to pick them up. The food was incredible, my guests are still raving about the decadent flavors and beautiful presentation of every item on the menu. The Hampshire House is a top notch venue with an incredible customer experience, do yourself a favor and book your wedding or special event with them!

A review about our experience doesn't feel like I'm serving justice to the experience we had. Every interaction we had was incredible. Andrew and Nancy were incredibly helpful when it came to booking our room blocks for our entire bridal party. The process was incredibly easy and smooth. Being able to have our entire bridal party stay at Inn was so special and fun. We had our rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, ceremony, reception, and after party at the the RLI and each event went off without a hitch. There aren't enough words to express how grateful we are for Janey. She was absolutely incredible during to entire planning process. Every question we had was answered with patience and excitement. Any concerns we had went right out the window - every vision I had for the venue was brought to life. She truly cares so much about her couples. Working with her was Sam and Toufik who are also incredible. Toufik set up our bridal suite in the morning was with us until our after party (well past midnight). All night, he was attentive and asking if we needed anything. Sam was so helpful the next morning with packing up our things and was extremely attentive. The day was perfect and I can't thank them enough for everything they did for us. We can't wait to come back for our anniversary.

Choosing The Barn at Blackstone National for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first meeting, Alyson Russo made us feel completely at ease.

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 had our wedding in September and we were blown away by how amazing this venue was. Aside from the grounds and hotel being surrounded by beautiful flowers and gardens, the staff, food, cake, reception hall and outdoor ceremony spot were perfect. The staff's sincerity and attention to detail allowed us to go with the flow and enjoy our wedding day. Our guests loved the venue as much as we did!

Elegant plantings and cultivated grounds fill this public garden with vibrancy that's more than a century in the making.

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 start to finish, Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club made our wedding day feel effortless and special. This venue is absolutely stunning. Our rehearsal dinner was held in the Addie Nickerson room with its own private terrace with a view of the ocean. Our ceremony was on the front lawn surrounded by blooming flowers, our cocktail hour overlooking the bay from the gorgeous terrace, and the reception in the pavilion tent with twinkling lights that made it look like a scene from a fairytale. Every part of this venue is stunning and our guests were raving about the beauty, feel, and atmosphere of Ocean Edge! Harmony, their coordinator, truly went above and beyond by prioritizing every detail of our vision. She’s a joy to work with, always upbeat and smiling, and is quick on her feet to solve problems should they arise. She goes above and beyond the typical planner- even arranging private apps and drinks in the bridal suite for us after our ceremony and delivering champagne and cake to our room at the end of the night. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Harmony and hope other couples get the privilege of working with her! The food and drinks were incredible, and the service staff kept everything running smoothly with friendly, attentive care and minimal waits at the bars. They accommodated every request we had and helped set up the space exactly how we imagined it. I actually teared up when I saw the reception space, it had come together so beautifully after over a year of planning and they pulled the vision off seamlessly. We invested a good amount of money into our wedding venue, and Ocean Edge delivered on every front and was worth every dollar we spent. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to celebrate with us!!

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 were married 11/16/2024 here and we could not be happier with our choice of venue. Nancy and Donna were fantastic to work with and answered any questions we had right away. On the day of the wedding Donna was extremely helpful. We truly felt that the staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had a good day; they checked in on my husband and I during pictures multiple times to ensure we were able to enjoy the appetizers we had selected. We got so many compliments about the food and the aesthetic of the venue. If you are concerned about food allergies, rest assured that you are in good hands with this kitchen. Anything we needed they covered right away. Our easel was missing a screw and they were kind enough to let us borrow one! We truly felt very taken care of. They were extremely patient and understanding with any decisions we had trouble making or any time we were disorganized. The wedding coordinator that they recommended to us was AWESOME to work with as well. I loved the bridal suite. We had so much space and the decor was beautiful. It reminded me of my grandmother’s house which made me feel even more comfortable. I highly recommend getting the apple cider mimosas and snacks they offer while you’re getting ready there! Absolutely kept everyone happy in the morning. Our photos and portraits that were taken both inside and outside are simply gorgeous; I can’t say enough about how good they came out. The way the lighting comes in is a photographer’s dream. The entire layout of the venue makes for excellent photos. This venue is also very affordable compared to every other space we looked at. It felt like it was made for us to get married in and we cannot wait to return there for dinner on our anniversaries. Thank you so much to the Salem cross inn for being a part of the happiest day of our lives!

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place to celebrate our daughter's wedding than the Harding Allen Estate. Though the ceremony was held elsewhere, the Estate hosted the reception, and it was everything our daughter dreamed of — and more. From the start, Jasmine and Suzy made us feel completely at home. Their warm, family-run approach set the tone for a joyful, stress-free day. They worked seamlessly with the caterer we brought in, ensuring every detail was handled with care and professionalism. It was clear they were committed to making the day perfect, no matter what. The setup at the Estate is outstanding, with beautiful spaces for the bridal party to relax and prepare. Our daughter and her bridesmaids loved getting ready at the Rose Cottage, while the rest of the venue was meticulously prepared for the reception. The staff even took special care of the personal decorations we provided, setting everything up exactly as envisioned and carefully packing it all afterward — such attention to detail truly stood out. The venue’s flexibility and support extended to accommodating some family food allergies, and they coordinated effortlessly with our caterer to make sure everything was just right. Every staff member was kind, respectful, and made the day feel personal and special. Jasmine was incredibly responsive, especially in the final weeks leading up to the event, helping us feel fully supported. Her dedication made a real difference, allowing us to focus on enjoying the celebration with family and friends. Choosing Harding Allen Estate for the reception was one of the best decisions we made. Between the stunning venue, the wonderful staff, and the extra touches like the Rose Cottage, morning breakfast (for those of us staying at the estate), and beautiful gardens, it was truly an unforgettable evening for everyone. We highly recommend Harding Allen Estate to any family planning a wedding — it was a dream come true for our daughter and a memory we'll cherish forever.

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 absolutely loved having our wedding at Pagu! From the start, the chef and owner Tracy was incredibly responsive and she got back to us right away when we inquired about hosting our wedding at the restaurant. She shared a detailed event order with sample dishes and estimated charges, which really helped us get the ball rolling with our planning. When we were able to visit Boston (we're based out of state), Tracy personally gave us our initial walkthrough. The combination of the restaurant’s cozy interior and beautiful, spacious outdoor patio made Pagu the perfect venue for our 100-guest celebration. One of the biggest reasons we wanted a restaurant wedding was the food, and Pagu absolutely delivered! Amanda and Chris T. took great care of us during our food and drink tastings, and everything was truly fantastic. The string beans, chicken katsu, miso cod, and wagyu beef were standout dishes. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them! Tracy’s custom hot honey biscuits were also a huge hit as a late-night snack, and both the double chocolate and strawberry cakes were delicious crowd-pleasers. Like many couples, we barely had time to eat during the whirlwind of the day, but we were so happy that Pagu prepared a to-go bag of all of our food and it was all still incredibly delicious, even the next day! As the big day approached, the team answered all our questions promptly and worked closely with us to rearrange the table layout so everyone could be seated comfortably. We held our rehearsal at the venue the day before, and Amanda was incredibly helpful in coordinating everyone and making sure we all felt confident and prepared for the ceremony. The Pagu team also went above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute requests (including pickleback shots and matcha cookie favors), which was deeply appreciated. Everything went off without a hitch on the actual wedding day. The transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner were all totally seamless, thanks to the coordination of Amanda, Chris, and Winson; it was clear that they are all seasoned pros at running a wedding, which helped us relax and enjoy the day worry-free! We can’t recommend Pagu highly enough for a wedding or special event! The food, the space, and, most importantly, the people made our day unforgettable and exceeded all expectations. We were incredibly impressed with the whole team throughout the entire process. There were so many thoughtful touches and interactions that happened throughout the planning and on the day itself. If you're considering a restaurant wedding, you won’t regret choosing Pagu!

Awarded Best of Zola
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. If you’re looking for a coordinator who is organized, experienced, kind, and absolutely exceptional at what she does, Donna is the one. We cannot recommend her, Kristen and the crew at Pleasant Valley Country Club highly!
