From the moment we booked this place we knew we made the right choice. Kacey, our Event Producer, was PHENOMENAL from start to finish. Everything about the staff and the space was incredible. They handled everything day-of, seamlessly coordinating with our vendors, and organizing decor, timeline and tasks. The food was also fantastic, as were the desserts! Our attendants that day were super helpful and all of our guests loved the venue and the way everything flowed so effortlessly that day, truly perfect. The picture of elegance and timelessness. Highly recommend Avenir and their whole team!!

We had our wedding at The Villa and truly could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless thanks to our event producer, Caroline. She made everything so easy and stress-free, which allowed us to actually enjoy the planning process and fully relax on the big day. The venue itself is gorgeous, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Our wedding day ran so smoothly, and we felt completely taken care of the entire time.

My husband and I got married in June at the Barn and it couldn't have been more perfect! I am from Cohasset and was interested in celebrating locally. Initially, we chose the Red Lion because it had everything we wanted: all events on site, charming spaces, gorgeous outdoor grounds, and rooms for family to stay in! Throughout the planning process, we were delighted to find that the staff was incredible. Andrew and Nancy at the front desk were friendly and super helpful with navigating the room block. During the planning process and on the day of the wedding we worked with Sam Loonie and Toufek! They were an incredible team from start to finish! They were organized, efficient, and always willing to accommodate any of our needs. Sam Loonie was super responsive to the plethora of questions that I had throughout the planning process. I am not the most organized person on earth and her assistance with planning made it so much easier for me. She and Toufek made sure that our day ran so smoothly. Throughout the reception and even into the after party Sam and Toufek checked in with us to make sure all of our needs were met. We cannot thank them enough for all of the effort that went into pulling off an amazing day! We would highly recommend the Red Lion Inn to couples that are looking for a wedding venue!
