I can't recommend Little Gold enough! Des and Sierra are absolutely wonderful to work with and the venue they have curated is perfect. The interior design is so effortlessly elegant, while also maintaining versatility for any special occasion. I have worked with Little Gold on many occasions and each time, I am impressed with how professional, yet personal their communication style is. Also, I haven't even mentioned the location!

We feel beyond lucky to have chosen Hampshire House to celebrate the most important day of our lives. From the very first photo I saw of the venue, I instantly fell in love.I could immediately envision everyone we love gathered in that warm, elegant space, celebrating together in a way that felt both intimate and timeless. It perfectly captured the spirit of what we dreamed for our wedding: a meaningful gathering with family, friends, and mentors. From the beginning of our planning journey, Victoria was truly exceptional. Her responsiveness was lightning-fast (even when I packed a dozen questions into a single email!), and she was consistently calm, cheerful, and organized through the often chaotic planning process. I’ll never forget how welcomed we felt when we met her in person for the first time at our tasting. Her kindness, professionalism, and flexibility gave me instant peace of mind that everything on the big day would be taken care of—and it was, and more. Victoria went above and beyond to accommodate every one of our needs, no matter how small, and her quiet support meant everything when other parts of the planning felt unpredictable. She took detailed notes, followed through on every ask, and always made me feel like our wedding truly mattered to her. On the wedding day itself, Victoria, Lindsay, and Elissa (apologies if I spelled any names wrong!) were absolute stars. These three incredible women were everywhere—effortlessly managing logistics, adjusting details on the fly, and doing it all with radiant smiles. They handled so many things I could see—setting up our escort card table to look pristine, subtly hiding visual clutter to keep the space beautiful, helping adjust the tone of the pianist’s music to match the mood, even helping us with tech like setting up my phone for the playlist—and I’m sure there were dozens more things they did that we didn’t even notice. That’s the thing about the team at Hampshire House: they care as deeply and attentively as we did. They treated our wedding as something truly meaningful, not just another event on the calendar. Every detail was cared for, not just the obvious ones, but even the ones we didn’t know to think about. Hampshire House made us feel so seen, so supported, and so celebrated. We will remember their kindness, effort, and magic forever:)

Words almost fail to express how freaking fabulous our time with The Barker House was! We are just over 3 months married (3/27/2025) and family and friends still remark to us on just how fun and gorgeous our wedding was. A ton of that credit goes to the amazing staff at the Barker House. Right from the start of our first tour, we were treated with such kindness and respect from the Barker House team. We were immediately sold on the staff (who took such time and care chatting with us) before we even fell in love with the venue. Davis-Lynn and Lilly were our rockstars! We were lucky enough to have them with us on our wedding day. The first portion of the day I was incredibly nervous, but once I was greeted by Davis-Lynn at the front door all my worries dissipated. I knew I was in the best of hands and suddenly felt ready to have fun. Even during the dinner service, Lilly was so kind as to sew my ripped bustle behind the scenes. She was so dedicated to making sure we had the best experience. The venue is simply stunning. As two people who appreciate history and go antiquing regularly, The Barker House spoke to our personalities. The speak-easy feel of the sunken bar, fireplaces, and exposed beams are very unique. The venue is in a gorgeous area and we were glad to be by the ocean. The chef is phenomenal as the food service was top notch. Family still exclaim to us how delicious the food was (omg the short ribs perfection!). I also suggest that couples utilize The Barker House's recommended vendors. Not only was payment and interaction with them a breeze, but they were each fabulous in responsiveness and quality. Awesome Blossom, Toast To That Entertainment, and Kristen Griffin Photography were incredibly professional and they each blew us away. I could go on and on... The bottom line, if you looking for a worry free all inclusive beautiful venue and want to work with the best people, look no further than The Barker House! P.S. Brides, make sure you get a picture with your planners! My only regret is that I didn't get a picture with Lilly and Davis-Lynn!

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 were given the freedom to be silly, unique and move about the property as if we were all old friends, finding nooks and crannies to sit and talk for hours. One of our favorite memories was when I wanted a silly picture in the library, and the staff made sure the gentleman there stayed hidden, allowing us to play and giggle like kids in the dorms. The bridal suite was also set up waiting for us with lights and mimosas, so I could just relax and breathe, knowing everything was being handled with our best interests in mind.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding! We wanted a venue with history, beautiful views, affordable, and only had one wedding a day -- and we got it! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning scenery and beautiful architecture. The staff was incredibly accommodating, the bartenders were so thoughtful. One brought in mint from her garden, as mojitos were my favorite drink! While there were a few moments of uncertainty and lack of communication in the planning process, it didn't take away from the magic of the day. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect, surrounded by lush greenery and gorgeous views. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was! Inside, the reception area was equally impressive, with plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The food was absolutely delicious, and they offered a variety of options that everyone loved. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the decor to the service. Overall, our experience at this venue was nothing short of magical.

I had the pleasure of working with Hope Lodge Venue recently as a wedding photographer and I can say they are a fantastic choice . Their communication style is incredibly responsive, helpful, and enthusiastic - they go above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of. Great quality of work for a the value ; the venue is open, clean, bright, and airy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a wedding or big event . One memorable example was when the staff dressed up along with the Gatsby-themed wedding, truly immersing themselves in the couple's vision. My only suggestion would be for them to potentially expand their parking area in the future, but overall, Hope Lodge Venue is an excellent option for couples seeking a beautiful, well-managed wedding venue and one they could decorate and make their own.

StoneHurst at Hampton Valley was the perfect venue for our wedding. The communication from Jenna and the entire staff was professional, timely, resourceful, kind, and polite throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, the quality of their work was amazing - everything was perfect, quiet, and exceeded our expectations. Jenna was so hands-on, making sure every detail was taken care of so we could fully enjoy our special day. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, from the delicious food and drinks to helping us navigate the challenges of planning a wedding during COVID-19.

We got married at the Haley Mansion on September 12th, and it was truly everything I’ve ever dreamed of. From the very first time my husband and I toured the venue, I just knew it was the place we were meant to get married. The property is absolutely stunning — so peaceful, elegant, and beautifully maintained. The mansion itself is breathtaking, and the view over the water made it feel like something out of a fairytale. We had the absolute best experience working with Joe, Zac, and Sue. They made our day beyond perfect! I mainly worked with Joe throughout the planning process, and he was amazing. He was always so easy to reach, quick to respond, and answered every single one of my questions (and there were a lot!). Joe went over every detail with us to make sure everything was perfect — and it truly was. He made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable, and I always felt heard and cared for. He also made sure everything on the day of the wedding was perfect. From the decorations, to checking on me to see how I was doing, to fluffing my dress before walking down the aisle, he didn’t miss a thing and it didn’t go unnoticed. I truly can’t thank him enough for the care and attention he put into our special day.  Zac was incredible too! He planned our rehearsal dinner, which turned out beautifully, and on the wedding day, he was there from beginning to end making sure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to Zac and Joe, every detail was flawless — not a single thing out of place. We even had an ice cream bar (which was a huge hit!), and Zac was the one serving ice cream to guests with the biggest smile. He went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for him. Sue, our officiant, made our ceremony so special and personal. She took the time to get to know us and really understood what we wanted. She added such a meaningful touch to our ceremony and made it feel like “us.” We also had the sweetest server, Kendra, who took such great care of us all night. She made sure our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. And oh my gosh — the food!! I can’t even begin to describe how good it was. We got so many compliments from our guests. Everything from the cocktail hour to the entrées was incredible. I had the filet mignon and my husband had the baked stuffed sole — both were to die for! Honestly, it was the best wedding food I’ve ever had. We also decided to have an after-party at Rock21, and it was the best decision! The food was delicious, the DJ kept everyone dancing, and our guests had an absolute blast. It was the perfect ending to the best day of our lives. From the very first meeting to the last dance, everything was perfect. The entire team at Haley Mansion put so much love, care, and attention into our day, and it truly showed. I can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day everything we’ve ever dreamed of and more.

We got married 1/5/25 but had been working with Miriam for probably a year and a half before our big day. She was always so personable with us a treated us like family. Words cannot describe the love and care we felt from Jake, our maître D and Samantha, our bridal attendant, on our wedding day. We were cared for tediously and effortlessly. We felt like at ease, happy and totally relaxed. I needed Samantha and didn’t even know it, I am forever indebted to her - she could not have been more attentive and wonderful. Comforting me, assuring me, getting me where I need to be and when. So friendly, kind and amazing. Thank god for Jake. He is so special and we’re so lucky we got him as our maître D. He deems himself as a “yes man” and he is not lying. Anything you could have ever wanted from him, he’d deliver. We wanted for nothing, had wonderful direction from him all night and he took care of EVERYTHING!  The night was flawless, amazing, perfect and all we could have ever hoped for. The staff at Bourne is unmatched, we made the right choice with this venue. Guests will be in awe of the venue and talk about the food for years to come. I wish I could do it all again. Thank you Bourne mansion & staff for the best night of our lives! I don’t have all my pics back yet!

We had our wedding on June 7th 2025 at Lord Thompson Manor. I cannot express enough how you should have your wedding here. Andrew, Jackie, Janice and Ted are top tier. Janice made us feel so special and throughout the day advocated for me. When the rain stopped and i wanted pictures outside, Ted went and got a leaf blower to blow away the rain so that my dress didn’t get wet. I do not say this lightly that they will forever be like family to me. They made the best day of our lives extra special. Our guests are still saying to us they can’t stop thinking about our wedding, that it was magical and the best wedding they’ve ever have ever gone to and I owe that all to Lord Thompson Manor. I will be eternally grateful for the way they made us and our wedding feel extra special. You are making a mistake if you do not book with Lord Thompson Manor.

The moment my husband and I walked into Timber Point, before even speaking to anyone, we knew it was the perfect spot. The beautiful property on the golf course, located right on the Great South Bay, created the ideal setting for our wedding. Lauren greeted us right away, and after booking our date we even popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate. From that day on, Lauren was incredible throughout the entire planning process. She answered every question—whether over email or in person—and always made us feel calm, confident, and cared for. Even the showcases and food tastings were wonderful experiences that made wedding planning feel exciting and special. On the day of our wedding, our maitre’d CeCe and our attendant April went above and beyond. They anticipated every need, from bringing us food and drinks all night to making sure our guests were taken care of—no request was too big or too small. Their attentiveness truly allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment. Beyond CeCe and April, the entire Timber Point staff was amazing—from the servers to the bartenders. Everything ran seamlessly, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you to everyone at Timber Point for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect!

My husband and I got married at Terrydiddle Farm on June 29, 2024 and it was MAGICAL. Lissa and her team, the impeccable grounds, the horses, the lawn games, Sophie the dog... Everything was absolutely perfect and everything we were looking for. Tons of our guests, friends and family raved about our venue, saying it is the best wedding venue they have ever been to. When we toured Terrydiddle, we said we'd take a bit to think about it, and we called Lisa to confirm 10 minutes after leaving the property. A great perk they have is their "open house" where you can tour the venue while they have it set up for a wedding. It gives you such a great idea of what your day will look like. The bridal suite is so cute and was so helpful for our morning and holding our belongings, the barn and cocktail area is perfect for mingling with people after the ceremony, and the lawn games are just the best touch. Tons of our guests were playing corn hole! The fire pit was awesome for us and our guests too, and we included a cigar table, which was a huge hit! We used Terrydiddle's staff for our bar services, which worked out perfectly. The reception tent is so beautiful and the rental options (arbor, sweetheart table, barrels, etc) make things so helpful for decor purposes and eased some of my stress, as we mostly did mostly DIY. Lissa and her team do an amazing job keeping their property clean and gorgeous. The perfect wedding venue through and through.

Wright’s Mill Farm has weddings down! Between they’re prompt response for any questions we might have had, the upfront pricing, the guidebook, we were left feeling like we could tackle this wedding with no issues! But the real reason for that is the people! Bri is amazing, there isn’t anyone else I could imagine to trust to run the show like she did! Curt always had an answer for any question we came up with, Krissy was amazing, she paid special attention to my elderly grandparents, and they have been raving about her since the wedding!
