“My husband and I highly recommend the venue. All of the staff is absolutely incredible and made our day absolutely perfect. Our forecast all week showed rain but we were hopeful that it would change in our favor. They let us wait until 2 pm the day of our wedding and luckily we had the most beautiful outdoor ceremony. Throughout the wedding process they walk you through everything to make sure your day is as seamless as possible. Going over the small details you may forget. Their included vendors are a blessing, one less thing to worry about during the planning process. They made everything so easy from planning and cleanup. I could not have imagined a better day. I highly recommend the team at Groveland, they made our day magical! We got so many compliments from guests about how great the food was and how amazing all the staff were too!”

“If I could relive our wedding at Glen Magna Farms, I would 100x over. This venue was everything we wanted and more— it’s such a perfect gem and still somewhat affordable compared to other outdoor venues in New England, especially if you are looking for an outdoor tented option. It has it all— the tent, dancefloor, and tables are already included and so no need to bring in an outdoor rental company. They also only work with one catering company, one of the BEST, Vinwood Catering so that makes things really easy for you to plan and the food and drinks were incredible. I also used their day of coordinator which was great because she helped with timeline and was able to keep things moving. This is an outdoor venue only so keep that in mind there is no indoor backup option however they have a very well thought out and organized rain plan and the sides of the tent go down so regardless of weather you will be fine! We got lucky and had a perfect 75 degree sunny day in early October so the grounds and gardens were a dream. All of our guests said they have never seen a more beautiful venue — and trust me we have been to ALOT of weddings. They let you into the venue two hours before to get dressed and get ready and have photos inside the bridal and groom suite inside the mansion- which is also a dream. I really felt like I was living a fairy tale that day. There are no on site accommodations but do not fret- there are several hotel options very close by! If you are looking for a timeless, romantic, fairytale, garden wedding- LOOK NO FURTHER. BOOK IT!!”

Moraine Farm 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Beverly, MA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $17,000

Originally designed in 1880, Moraine Farm has been hailed as "the finest existing example of Frederick Law Olmsted's approach to planning a country estate" by pre-eminent Olmsted scholar Charles E. Beveridge. Olmsted created lawns, hedges, rustic stone walls, and a magnificent meadow – and collaborated with Boston architects Peabody and Stearns to design a massive stone terrace facing the lake, extending the shingle-and-stone house into the landscape. The farm took its name from a low ridge of glacial debris, called a moraine, which Olmsted used to provide an elevated vantage point for the paths and carriage drives that looped through 75 acres of coniferous forest, passed lake and meadow views, and climbed to an overlook on the edge of the 40-acre farm.

“We just had our perfect wedding at Moraine Farm and it could not have been more perfect. I wish I could go back and re-live it over and over again! The coordinator, Laura, was awesome and all our guests are still talking about how beautiful of a venue it was. The incredible food was also a huge plus :) We will forever look back at our wedding and smile. Huge thank you to everyone at Moraine and Fireside Catering that pitched in to help out on our day!”

“When we first visited Oceanview of Nahant, I fell in love with the venue. It’s absolutely beautiful. The staff was absolutely amazing. Our day of coordinator, Rachel was phenomenal. She handled everything the day of and I didn’t have to stress about anything. All we had to do was drop everything off the day before and then she did everything else. We added the photo booth which was a huge hit, especially for the kids. Rachel suggested putting our guest book by the photo booth and I have looked through our guest book so many times because of it. Having these photos of our loved ones was such a special touch. If you’re hesitant because of the price…do it. My husband and I debated just doing a backyard wedding to save money and I’m so glad we didn’t. The cost is completely worth it and I would highly recommend this venue. I’d use this venue again if we did it all over again. Rachel and the rest of the staff was amazing. Our wedding day was perfect and I was able to fully enjoy our day and remember every moment because my brain didn’t have to stress about anything. The food was was also amazing. We did stations and everyone enjoyed having so many options.”

The quality of their work and overall value was truly timeless and unique, with a great flow between the different rooms and spaces.
