“Having our reception at Newport Vineyards in May of 2026 was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process! From our very first meeting with Jenna, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Her warmth, kindness, professionalism, and excellent communication were major factors in our decision to choose Newport Vineyards. Jenna and her team made the entire planning process feel seamless. We never felt overwhelmed; instead, we felt reassured knowing everything was under control. Every question we had was answered quickly, and we always felt informed about what was happening and what to expect next. On the wedding day, Jenna and her team transformed the venue into something absolutely stunning. Even with our choice of doing minimal décor, the space looked more beautiful than we could have imagined. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the entire venue felt elegant, welcoming, and perfectly suited to our celebration. The food at Newport Vineyards is truly the best of the best! Our guests raved that it was the best wedding food they had ever had, and we could not agree more. My husband and I especially appreciated having the opportunity to enjoy some of the cocktail hour food in private before heading out to mingle with our guests. We also cannot say enough good things about Darcy, who was assigned to assist us during the night. She made sure we ate our meals, always had a drink in hand, and had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her attentiveness allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day without worrying about a thing. Newport Vineyards is a stunning venue and I truly could not recommend it more! Between the whimsical and beautiful venue and surrounding land, the incredible food and drinks, and the exceptional staff and service, it exceeded every expectation we had and made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable.”

“If you’re looking for a low-stress wedding venue that offers incredible value, look no further. We held our wedding at The Mansion at Bald Hill on September 28, 2025, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We started touring venues in mid March, hoping to find a place that could host a small-ish wedding with an outdoor ceremony, indoor reception, and full food and drink service without sky high prices or hidden fees. I even built a spreadsheet comparing every option within a 50-mile radius, and The Mansion at Bald Hill definitely stood out. Many venues had undisclosed minimums, surprise costs, or odd restrictions, but the Mansion had none of that. The Mansion was transparent, elegant, and far more accommodating than we expected. We toured three venues total, saving the Mansion for last—honestly thinking it might be out of our price range or require too many guests. But as soon as we drove up the winding road and saw the gorgeous grounds, we started crossing our fingers. After our tour with Janet, the events director, and her clear breakdown of the options and pricing, we got in the car, looked at each other, and said, “Yep, this is the it!” No discussion needed. In the months leading up to the wedding, Janet was absolute wonderful to work with—responsive, organized, and genuinely kind. She answered every question promptly, accommodated all of our requests, and went above and beyond to make our day seamless. On the wedding day itself, she and the entire staff exceeded every expectation. The food was phenomenal, the bar and banquet teams were attentive and friendly, and every detail—from setup to timing—was handled perfectly. Choosing The Mansion at Bald Hill was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a venue that’s stunning, stress free, and run by people who truly care about making your day special.”

“It’s been 3 months since our October wedding and our friends/family still rave about our wedding night. Glenpharmer was still relatively new to weddings and most guests had never been to the location before. The compliments of the facility were endless. Everyone was beyond impressed with the food that was cooked to perfection. The quality of the alcohol and drinks provided are far and away better than your standard venue. I’m not much of a review person, but your wedding is important so we need to give credit where credit is due. Glenpharmer knocked it out of the park for us. Thanks Karsan, Pat, Beth and the rest of the staff”

“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.”

“If I could leave 10 stars I would. Very clear and consistent communication from Rob. The venue had incredible flexibility for all the things we were hoping to do and made it happen. Shout out to Pat for running to Staples for a wire we needed to make the video for our entrance happen. Such dedication and genuine interactions from every single person we interacted with, beginning to end. Everything a bride could hope for, regardless of the hoops to jump through, Bostonia happily made it happen.”

“Our country band was hired by Sarah at Zola for a series of musical performances during the summer of 2020. All communications were clear and concise. Payment for services was fair and prompt. As this was during the Covid pandemic, we had multiple conversations regarding the safety of both the performers and the guests and all of our concerns were taken very seriously. Sarah was a pleasure to work with and we hope to be able to work future events together”

“We had our ceremony and reception at the Foundation Room and it was everything we dreamed it would be! The House of Blues staff was so so accommodating. Meaghan was an absolute dream to work with for the year leading up to it and she did not let us down at all. She was with us every step of the way, from the time that we toured the venue to very end of the night. She went above and beyond to take care of every detail all day long. I cannot stress enough how incredible of an experience we had working with her. She paid attention to every detail, listened to us and made every little change we asked for. She also coordinated with all of our vendors beforehand and even set up our macaron tower. She truly brought our vision to life and helped us throw the best New Year’s Eve party. The House of Blues staff was on top of table turnovers, quick clean ups, made sure we had everything we needed and were so helpful with set up and clean up. They made it a seamless, worry free night for us. The food was delicious and our specialty cocktails were even better! Meaghan worked with us to craft tasty specialty cocktails that were a hit with our guests. She also made sure everything came out right on schedule. The unique vibe of the venue made it feel like an exclusive and intimate party where our guests were free to lounge and dance or hide away in one of the many rooms. The theme set the tone for the party. It was an absolutely incredible night and we can’t thank this team enough!”
