From our first conversation with Briana, we knew Granite Rose By Wedgewood Weddings was the right choice for us. She communicated clearly throughout the entire planning process and answered every question we had with confidence and knowledge. The venue itself is stunning with its beautiful chandeliers, floor to ceiling windows, and flexible indoor and outdoor spaces that gave us options if weather didn’t cooperate. Beyond the beautiful setting, Wedgewood's curated vendor network made a real difference—the cake, florals, DJ, and officiant all worked seamlessly together. All the details came together with guests commenting on every aspect of the night!Guests raved about the food and late night snacks. Briana made planning stress-free and handled details so well that we could actually enjoy the process. For the value and quality you get, this venue is truly priceless.

Choosing a venue is arguably the most important aspect of celebrating a wedding, and the Stevens Estate is absolutely spectacular. I wouldn't do a single thing differently when it comes to choosing a venue. From our very first tour of the Estate, we knew they were setting the bar both aesthetically and in terms of planning, and no other venue surpassed it! Amy and Helen were extremely helpful during the planning process, providing excellent forms and schedules that guided us through. Because Fireside Catering owns and caters at the venue, everything could be discussed and planned all at once, which was great for us as we were coordinating our wedding out of state. On the day of, Amy, Casey and other staff members were beyond kind and helpful. Everyone was extremely attentive to our needs and it really felt like a luxury experience. Everything was run smoothly and professionally. The fact that they take care of setup and cleanup meant that my husband and I could be excited about celebrating our marriage without thinking about logistics. There are all kinds of backdrops for photos - beautiful forest surrounding the building, gorgeous interiors of the Estate. The food was excellent! All our guests said they had a great time, and the dance floor was packed all night! We seriously could not have asked for a more magical day, and it is all thanks to Amy, Helen, and the team at the Stevens Estate. We are so grateful for all their hard work!

Vanessa was so kind and open throughout our time engaging with this DIY venue. For around 3k, you have the entire venue from 8am Friday to 10pm Sunday, and can set it up to your hearts content. There is ceremony space both indoors and outdoors, space to put up a tent, and the great hall alone holds around 100 people seated, without crowding. Chairs and tables come included. The whole space was great for offering a variety of different spaces for our event: a room for eating and dancing, a room for the photobooth, a room for children's activities, a room for the memorial area, and a room for quiet relaxing--which my wedding party absolutely needed. I can't imagine having had a better experience at a more conventional full service venue--just make sure you have a team to help you with setup and shutdown and you're golden.

We got married 9.13.15 at Sky Meadow. We booked the venue more than a year in advance (we just wanted to get it out of the way) and Lynn was amazing to work with during that entire time. She was super responsive, very professional, and all around joy to work with. And when it came to day of, our venue coordinator, Josh, was instrumental to making sure the day ran smoothly. He kept us on track and was very accommodating to all of our requests. The entire staff was amazing to work with and we can't have asked for better help during our wedding. And as for food, 10000/10, everyone was raving about it! We did the plated dinner and chose Prime Rib, Crab Stuffed Haddock, and the Risotto. As for appetizers we did sushi, antipasto display, meatballs, bacon wrapped scallops, lobster sliders, and beef wellington bites. Everyone said how there was so much food they were stuffed even before dinner. The food is definitely plentiful and your guests will be happy at the quality and amount. We did consumption bar as well and the line was never too long, they turned them out quickly (especially since they walked around with our signatures). They even include a cake of your choice (we chose Chickadee Hill Bakery - absolutely delicious) as part of your package which was really nice. We wholeheartedly believe this venue is the venue to have your wedding at!

We had the best experience with the Bedford Event Center. Everyone was so kind, professional, and most importantly, approachable. Communication was clear, costs were discussed upfront and were very reasonable. There were no surprise surcharges that we needed to worry about. They provided and set up linens, tables and chairs, and we could bring in pretty much any caterer/food we wanted. They have fun features like uplighting and the cloud over the ballroom. They worked with us to create a signature drink that was a hit. Not to mention, it’s gorgeous! They’ve done a great job creating a space that can be used for a variety of events. In short, working with the Bedford Event Center was a breeze and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

We are so thankful for Jordan and the entire Willowdale Estate team for helping to coordinate and run the most incredible wedding for us. We first fell in love with Willowdale Estate when we first toured thanks in particular to Anna Schirripa who walked us through the property, including the getting ready spaces, beautiful ceremony courtyard, cocktail space and of course the tent for reception. We could see early on that Willowdale could accomplish the vision we were looking for. Anna then followed up by mailing us their famous chocolate chip cookies which helped seal the deal! Anna’s thoughtfulness and responsiveness to all of our questions (rain plan, food options, wheelchairs accessibility, vendors, etc.) gave us the confidence that Willowdale Estate was the right venue for us and we could not have been more correct. Working with Jordan in the weeks leading up to our Wedding day, we could tell she was the perfect person to help us stay calm and present during our wedding day. She was responsive to all of our questions and helped us plan and execute the exact timeline we were looking for. On our wedding day, Jordan helped keep us calm when there was a chance of rain and helped our guests stay dry when there was a sunshower five minutes before our ceremony was set to start. She and the Willowdale Estate team immediately ensured our guests were dry with umbrellas and moved folks inside and then back into seats again in the courtyard within ten minutes and our ceremony started right on time and never missed a beat. Throughout the cocktail hour Jordan ensured that we had food brought to our suite so we could actually eat and then made sure our night flowed perfectly. Our guests continue to rave about the food at our wedding and were so impressed with the team throughout the entire evening. We absolutely recommend Willowdale Estate to anyone looking for a wedding venue!!!

Elegant plantings and cultivated grounds fill this public garden with vibrancy that's more than a century in the making. Long Hill is a property of The Trustees of Reservations, a Massachusetts non-profit corporation. 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.

Long Hill was a dream, it felt like a private fairy garden. Gorgeous location and the perfect size for us to take photos privately and guests to explore but not feel too far away (for wrangling from cocktail hour to dinner for example). The Long Hill staff were super communicative and responsive, sometimes a little stressful to work with as it felt like there were a number of restrictions but this really translated to a very stream-lined and well-organized wedding day as they brought up any potential issues early and then on the actual day they were super, super supportive and great to work with. They do have a list of 5 set caterers you need to work with, we were given an exception because of a dietary restriction my in-laws have (need to pay a 1000 fee), but this was tricky as Long Hill expects caterers to take on much more than just food. You'll also want to rent a dance floor (700 in the area) as the under tent area is brick. We had 115 of us total with buffet & dance floor, it was cozy & lovely but any more than 120 would feel tight to me. We were able to have a ceremony for an extra 1000 and then the reception was 5,200 for 5-10 on a Friday. In addition to the gorgeous gardens and beautiful cocktail area off the porch, we could take photos inside which was really lovely and a great break from the heat (our wedding day was 85 and VERY humid). Felt very professionally run and they worked well with my dear friend who was our day-of-coordinator and we just feel extremely grateful to have such a gorgeous location!

Yasmene was wonderful to work with, and she and her team truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. She was incredibly helpful from the moment we arrived and even assisted with little details throughout the day while we were getting ready. One thing that really stood out was how kind and caring she was with our 2-year-old niece. During dinner, she helped keep her entertained and even carried her out at the end of the night when she was having a tantrum. Those small acts of kindness meant so much to our family.

Their communication was top-notch, and they were so patient with us as we worked to finalize the details for our special day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful - spacious and elegant, with ample room for our guests to mingle and celebrate. Rachel provided excellent suggestions to help execute our vision without changing the core of what we wanted. We were admittedly a bit unprepared at times, but Rachel was there every step of the way to guide us. We highly recommend the Kimpton Marlowe, especially working with Rachel and her wonderful team, to make your wedding day truly unforgettable.

The Barn at Union Lake Orchard was perfect for us! We were in a bind and needed a venue for our wedding with just a few months' notice. From our first outreach to them, Karen and Ryan went above and beyond for us every step of the way. The beautiful peach orchard and rustic barn setting created a stunning backdrop for our celebration. Karen and Ryan were incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process, always willing to answer any questions and minimized our stress leading up to the big event. We are so grateful to the Barn at Union Lake Orchard for helping to make our wedding day truly the best day ever. We highly recommend it for your wedding or any other special event!

We got married at Wentworth by the sea hotel & spa in October 2025! We looked at quite a few places before deciding on this venue! I can honestly tell future brides that it was the BEST choice we have ever made! Catherine who was the manager took care of EVERYTHING for us, helped up go step by step and was able to make a very stressful time seem easy! They connect you with a bunch of vendors through them that you can use for invitations, florals, and cake! Every single vendor was reliable and easy to work with, and everything that they worked on came out amazing! I was so happy we used them all! One of the highlights of picking the Wentworth was the amazing bridal suite that you can get for the entire day, we were able to do hair and makeup in it! (no other place we toured would let me do makeup in the bridal suite) & they brought in food and drinks and you had a personal attendant helping you the entire day! We had our ceremony on the back lawn which was set up for fall and used the dock for photos by the water they came out stunning! Catherine and the team did an INCREDIBLE job setting up the ballroom, I gasped when I walked inside it was so stunning! We decided to drape the entire room and it was a wonderful choice it really added to the elegance! They took care of everything behind the scenes and I honestly don't think I had to worry about a single thing the day of. Everything went perfectly according to plan! The food was also incredible! My guests still talk about it! They also saved us appetizers from cocktail hour, and brought us up dessert to our hotel room that we didn't get to eat! They thought of everything under the sun and made sure it was a perfect day! I cannot say enough good things about Catherine and her team! If you are looking for a venue that is classy and timeless and you want a team that will make your day go perfectly have your wedding at Wentworth by the sea hotel and spa! Thank you Catherine and all of the incredible staff at Wentworth! You guys are the best!

I looked into countless wedding venues all across New England, but when my then-fiancé and I arrived at Scotland Fields for our venue tour, I immediately knew that it was the place we needed to host our wedding weekend. That gut feeling that this was somewhere really special never wore off, and I know that all of our guests felt that same feeling throughout the entire weekend. We also don't have enough positive things to say about the Scotland Fields team. My husband and I had a very specific vision about how we wanted our weekend to come together, and the team was nothing but accommodating to allow us to create the weekend that we envisioned. They were responsive when we had questions, helpful when we needed recommendations and guidance, and prompt to resolve anything that came up throughout the weekend (not that there was much of anything to resolve!!). We could not recommend this venue more highly, and will forever be grateful for the weekend that Scotland Fields allowed us to curate!

Our guests had an amazing experience and loved having access to both the dance floor inside and cocktail and patio space outside (we got married on a beautiful night in July). While the space and food are reason enough to choose the Tirrell Room, working with Amy leading up to and on the day of our wedding really made the day amazing! Amy helped us to plan and select details, and gave suggestions and lots of encouragement. With her help we were able to plan a wedding for 200 people in 7 months! She is a kind and wonderful person to work with and helped our wedding day run smoothly.

First Zola review! The short and sweet review of this venue is that it was perfect. If it’s details you’re looking for, then we have those for you too. Prior to getting engaged, we had discussed what our ideal wedding day would look like and had both agreed that a mountain-top ceremony was what we both envisioned. For the moment we turned into the Pat’s Peak parking lot and saw the beautifully maintained grounds, rustic ski-village inspired buildings, and cozy lodge we had a feeling we had found our wedding venue. The wedding team at Pat’s Peak was incredible to work with, helping us through every single step and answering every question we threw their way. A huge standout to us as a couple was how accommodating they were of our requests and the level of personal touches we were permitted to do which made our day extra special. While it is of course important to hear what the bride and groom thought of the venue, an aspect we’d like to add to this review is what our guests thought. It’s been two weeks exactly since our wedding at Pat’s Peak and we’re still receiving non-stop compliments from our guests on the venue we chose. We opted for the summit ceremony and we will remember that chairlift ride and view from the top as we got married for the rest of our lives. The weather was perfect for us (which we know is not always the case) but a BIG reason we picked Pat’s Peak is because we liked the weather back up options that were provided to us. Our guests RAVED about the chairlift ride to the top for the ceremony and the scenic ride down for the reception. Special call out here for the lift operators who went above and beyond to be friendly and genuinely excited for our big day. As the bride and groom, we loved the ability to set up lawn games like giant Jenga and cornhole on the deck that provided the perfect environment for guests to enjoy a cocktail, mingle, and connect during cocktail hour and the reception. We opted for a buffet style meal, which provided more than enough food for our guest count of around 100. Everything from the apps, buffet dinner, s’mores bar and ice cream sundae bar was absolutely delicious. To wrap this review up, we’d like to call out Pat’s Peak staff including Brigid and Mary Beth. These two (including our bartenders, and the rest of the amazing staff) worked tirelessly in perfect coordination with our vendors to make sure our day was completely perfect and ran smoothly. We cannot thank them enough for all their help and hard work. Prior to our wedding, we had no connection or tie to Pat’s Peak but now, it will forever hold a special place in our hearts. If you’re considering Pat’s Peak and looking for a quaint, rustic, and inexplicably cozy wedding venue, we’ve found it.

We are SO grateful that Claudine was a part of our big day. We worked with Claudine as the day of coordinator for our June wedding, but she helped us with much more than that. We knew Claudine and her assistants meant business as soon as they walked in with name tags and big smiles. There was truly a lot to keep track of the entire day— from directing lawn games in the afternoon and ferry departures in the evening, to the unexpected added duty of cake cutting and serving, Claudine was on top of it in every aspect. She was highly organized, very professional, and went above and beyond the entire time. Everything ran so smoothly thanks to her and it truly couldn't have been a better day!
