Butternut Farm Golf Club was an absolutely gorgeous venue, with exceptional service, delicious food, reasonable pricing, and a beautiful setting. Kerri was incredible throughout the whole process, seamlessly making sure the whole day went perfectly— she even made sure I got a safety pin when my dress strap broke! Everyone from Hope, the business manager, to the waitstaff and the other vendors in the package (highly recommend the package with the photography and baker!) was extremely professional. The guests were raving about the food, and the large dance floor and huge ballroom (not to mention the reasonable pricing) made my 150 guests feel comfortable and excited. Bonus points for the balcony, where the non-dancers enjoyed great conversations overlooking the golf course pond. And what a gorgeous area in apple orchard country!! Could not have had a more perfect day. Thank you so much to everyone at Butternut for making our reception an absolute blast!!!

Of all the events that happen in your lifetime, your wedding will be the most romantic. You’ve no doubt been dreaming about what your wedding should be like all of your life.

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 were able to curate the space to our specific visions, and Jen was sooo helpful throughout the whole process. She also has the cutest bulldogs on the planet, and we were actually sad the next day picking up the remaining decorations because we wanted to keep working with her. You really don't have to do much to the space to make it beautiful, and with a Director as involved and as helpful as Jen, you'll have the most fairy tale wedding day. Just a pro tip for communication: Jen is the most responsive via phone, so text or call her to inquire about meetings, and she will be at your side whether you're planning for 6 months or 2 years.

Shawn and his team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went smoothly - they were super accommodating of our guests with mobility issues and I never found myself worrying as the bride, confident that the entire day would flow seamlessly. No request felt too big, and the team was very helpful when we needed direction on what to do. Having the day of coordinator included here is such a big benefit, and they rock at it. While booking we were reading all the five-star reviews for Searles, we knew we were choosing a great venue, but experiencing it firsthand was even better than we could have imagined. I've heard so many horror stories from other brides about their venues, but Searles was organized, attentive, and truly professional throughout the entire process. Not a single thing went wrong.

The venue was immaculate and modern inside, with the classic New England charm and vibe. The staff could not have been more helpful. They helped me with load-in, and the setup people were friendly and efficient. The coordinator Linda was also friendly, professional and on top of all the many details for the event (food, drinks, balloons, florals, favors, etc.). The room was light and airy, with lots of windows and light. The neutral background would work for almost any color palette. It is a beautiful venue in a classic New England setting, and I highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful experience having our wedding at Birch Wood Vineyards. We got married in December and it was the perfect atmosphere for a winter wedding especially with their roaring fireplaces and rustic, cozy interior. And the best part about Birch Wood Vineyards is their incredible team (special shout out to Melisa, Lexi, Avery, and Kasia!). They helped plan every detail, answered my MANY questions quickly and clearly, and truly made the day of so seamless and completely stress free. Thank you Birch Wood Vineyards!!!

I cannot recommend Four Winds Farm enough. Not only was our wedding perfect and unforgettable, but the whole weekend was so truly special. Ian and Bri went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come true with such care and ease. Every single inch of Four Winds is gorgeous, you’ll have a hard time choosing where you want it all to happen! We also really appreciated the history and character of the barn, we barely had to decorate as the space was filled with memorabilia and fun details. It’s really the coolest spot. As we come up on our first anniversary, we’re wishing we could go back and relive it all!

We found this venue after searching, searching, and searching for the wedding location of our dreams. And then we saw it… It wasn’t finished yet, but just from the vision and the photos of what it was going to look like, we were already in love. It had everything we wanted: a beautiful indoor space to get ready, big windows that connected the inside with the outside, and the option to host cocktail hour outdoors. It was exactly what we had dreamed of both indoor and outdoor spaces in one perfect place. From the pictures we knew it was special, but when we saw it in person… it was even more beautiful! Everything is luxurious and so well taken care of. Honestly, you don’t need extravagant decorations because the venue itself is the decoration—it has everything you need and more. From sewing kits and pins to fix your dress, to a toothbrush everything you wouldn’t even expect is already there. It’s fully equipped and thoughtfully prepared. And we can’t talk about this venue without mentioning Kim, the owner. She is incredibly hardworking, kind, and so patient throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, she helped us in so many ways. She was there from the beginning, attentive to every detail. Her service is beyond what you expect truly above and beyond. Everything was clear from the start no surprises, just honesty and professionalism. Choosing this venue was, without a doubt, the best decision we made. Everything went smoothly, everything was beautiful. I would get married there a million times over. In fact… I want to get married there again! Thank you for making our day unforgettable.

I couldn’t be more grateful to Marc, their staff and the entire Siragusa family for helping to create the most magical night of our lives. Marc was the best person I could ever hope to work with to create the wedding of my dreams. He was very responsive, professional, friendly and made the planning process a breeze! He coordinated with all of the vendors, made sure everyone understood the timeline and took care of all of the little details to ensure everything went smoothly. Him and his staff exceeded my expectations in creating the vision I had for our big day - it was absolutely stunning! My vision was a rustic & elegant style wedding - and they blew that out of the water, I received so many compliments on how beautifully everything was set up for our wedding! The staff were also extremely friendly and on the ball with everything, I am beyond impressed with the Westbrook Inn and their staff. The value that you get with the tent, bar, staff, chairs/tables, set up/break down, coordination and so much more is extremely rare to find around here. They recently hosted a micro wedding reception for my brother and also did a fantastic job. Needless to say, I will continue to use The Westbrook Inn for all our future special events - 10/10 would recommend!

  • Best for events with big guest lists
  • Not wheelchair accessible

Manchester country club was the perfect venue for us. I can't think of a single con for the venue. Everything was amazing. There are so many pretty areas and it's separated from the rest of the country club and there is only one wedding per day so it feels very private. We got married on the balcony which was gorgeous. All the food was really, really good. The drinks were really good. My signature drink was a mojito and it was a perfect mojito. Both Kim and Fallon were pros and very easy to work with and incredibly helpful. In my opinion the biggest separator between this venue and other venues we looked at was the bridal suite. We got access to the bridal suite at 9am and the bridal suite is a room that was made to be a bridal suite. It's got a sitting area, a makeup and hair counter and chairs, an area with 3 walls of mirrors, and a private bathroom. The mirror area made really nice getting ready photos. My bridesmaids and I spent hours getting ready and it was so nice just to show up in the morning, have the hair and makeup team come to the venue and just be at the venue for the rest of the day and not have to worry about changing locations. We also were free to take photos before the ceremony so a couple hours before the ceremony we took our first look, wedding party, and close family members photos. We spent the first 20 minutes of the cocktail hour getting the remaining photos and then enjoyed our own cocktail hour. We looked at other venues where you were not allowed at the venue until as little as 90 minutes before your ceremony and that was not for us. My goal for the wedding was to minimize stress and be able to enjoy everything about the day and Manchester Country Club was great for that. Everything was easy. There were zero surprises with the bill and zero hidden fees. Considering how good the food, bar, and overall experience was, I was very happy with the prices. Our guests loved the venue too. Just an amazing venue. This was the second to last venue we toured, out of a list of six we wanted to see in person, and by the end of the tour I knew this was our venue.

Allrose Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding. The communication with the venue staff was outstanding - they were quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and made the planning process so smooth. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with an intimate and cozy barn interior that needed minimal decorating. The outdoor scenery was breathtaking and provided a gorgeous fall backdrop for our ceremony and photos. The catering service was also fantastic, and our guests are still raving about the delicious food. The bridal suite was large and comfortable, with a kitchen that came in handy for getting ready.

Getting married at the Stevens Estate was the best decision we made! The venue is absolutely beautiful, but the best part of the entire experience was working with Helen! Helen made the planning process so easy for us. She is so great to work with and so detail orientated. She brought all of our visions to life and made sure everything went according to plan. She created back up plans in case of unexpected events such as rain and really thought through everything. On the day of, we really had no stress because of the work Helen and her team put in. We had a unique wedding ceremony where we had a traditional ceremony followed immediately by a Persian ceremony, and Helen made sure everything followed our customized timeline. She even personally oversaw all of the Persian Ceremony decorations/set up to ensure our valuable items were set up perfectly and packed up safely. In addition to Helen, we also had a lot of other people with Stevens Estate who made sure our day was perfect. One was our day-of wedding attendant who was so attentive! She went out of her way to make sure my husband and I were getting everything we needed on the day of. If you want a beautiful wedding venue with an incredible team and amazing food we can’t recommend Stevens Estate enough. We were so present and stress-free on the day of our wedding and that is all thanks to Helen and her team! (Photos are by Justs Photography)
