We discovered this venue through Zola and fell in love with it immediately from the very first look online. Right away, we knew it felt like the perfect place for our wedding day! We scheduled a tour on January 29, 2023, and brought our parents along because we wanted to see if they liked it as much as we did. Seeing the venue in person, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding. Moira showed us every detail of the property, including the Barn and the Winthrop Room (the two reception spaces), the Alpheus Room (indoor ceremony space), the patio, and the beautiful lawn where we could take family, wedding party, and bride-and-groom photos. By the end of the tour, we knew this was the one, and we officially booked our wedding for October 26, 2024. Throughout the planning process, the venue staff’s professionalism and experience stood out. Moira was able to answer any and all questions we had about any aspect of the wedding from the dimensions of the arbor in the Alpheus room to special meal accommodations for a guest. Also, we initially planned our ceremony for 5 PM but realized that with our late-October date, we wouldn’t have enough daylight for formal photos after the ceremony. We talked to Moira, and we were able to adjust the timeline, pushing the ceremony earlier so we could capture outdoor photos before sunset. On the big day, everything exceeded our expectations! The food was a highlight, with our guests raving about all of the food, which included filet of beef, grilled salmon, vegetable lasagna, and chicken tenders for all the kids (or kids at heart). The venue also ensured that we had some food to eat during the photo session during cocktail hour to make sure that we were happy and not hangry while taking pictures! Because of the earlier ceremony time, we were able to utilize the gazebo on the property for some formal photos and a first look with Kayla and her dad before the ceremony. During the cocktail hour, we took the remaining photos out on the lawn with the stunning fall colors as a backdrop. Overall, The Barn at Wight Farm supported us in every way and did everything necessary to give us the wedding of our dreams. We can’t recommend it more!

Katlyn Reilly Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Sturbridge, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200

I’m Katlyn, a Central Massachusetts based wedding photographer who believes photos should feel lived in, emotional, and real. I grew up loving family photographs and home videos, and that love turned into a career documenting meaningful moments for others. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 16 years and still feel excited before every one. I’m laid back, organized, and known for having a big laugh, which helps people relax in front of the camera. I love working closely with my couples and their families to create photos that truly feel like them.

If I could give Katlyn Reilly Photography 100 stars, I would. She isn’t just a photographer, she’s the kind of person who makes you feel like your love story is the only one that matters. From our very first meeting, she was warm, genuine, and full of helpful advice. On our wedding day, she guided us with ease, made every photo feel natural, and still somehow caught those unplanned, perfect moments you’ll treasure forever. Katlyn doesn’t just snap pictures, she listens. She remembered the little details about our family, and made sure to capture a private toast to my late father that will forever be one of my most cherished memories. Months later, she remembered those same details at our maternity shoot, and we already know our newborn photos will be just as special. She has this amazing ability to make you feel like your wedding or event is the most important one she’s ever shot, because to Katlyn, it is. She cares about your story, your moments, and your memories, and it shows in every single photo. If you want jaw‑dropping pictures AND someone who will feel like a friend for life, make your first and only call to Katlyn. You won’t just be grateful you did, you’ll relive those moments every time you see the photos.

I am a storyteller. As an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and actress/director, I am comfortable on and off the stage and passionate about telling captivating, meaningful stories. For me, capturing your wedding day with my camera is a way of ensuring that your story lasts a lifetime.

Kara is a treasure. Not only is she fun to work with and a delight to be around, she is a true professional and her work demonstrates this. Her dedication to her art is demonstrated in the shots she captures; she manages to capture people’s personalities in every shot. She personalized the shot list to make sure we got what was important to us, and her calming demeanor kept us from getting (more) stressed on The Big Day. I can’t recommend Kara enough.

We chose Comeketo to reflect our Latin-American fusion wedding. From the initial tasting through the planning process to the reception, Comeketo exceeded expectations. They were easy to work with and delivered a very customized menu and presentation. This was no cookie-cutter wedding meal. Our guests all commented on the beautifully presented and unique appetizers during the cocktail reception, including the stunning fruit tower centerpiece. For the main dinner, the Churrasco bbq service for dinner (meat on swords!) was a unique and memorable part of the reception. Many thanks to Rodrigo and Toni for bringing our vision to life!

From the moment you arrive, the beauty of the venue speaks for itself, but what truly sets it apart is how effortlessly they make everything come together. We wanted a place that could truly do it all so we wouldn’t have to worry about a thing, and Harrington delivered in every way.

Lindsey guided us every step of the way…answering every question, offering honest advice, and becoming a close friend and trusted guide throughout the process. I honestly can’t imagine what planning our wedding…or our wedding day itself…would have been like without her. We are endlessly grateful to the entire Harrington team for making our wedding day stress-free, beautiful, and unforgettable.

We hired Luis Andrade of Lionizing Entertainment for our wedding, and we are SO GLAD we did! We were looking for someone who would let us have a lot of control over our music, and we got so much more. He took our requests into consideration and did a fantastic job building upon them. Luis was funny, welcoming, worked with my grandparents on getting mics connected for the videos they were taking, played excellent music, worked off of our highly curated playlists for the cocktail hour and reception, and kept the dance floor full for hours. I have never had so much fun dancing at a wedding. I highly recommend him as a DJ, I wish there was another event coming up where we could hire him again. We’ve attended quite a few weddings by this point and he outshined every other DJ we’ve seen.

Working with Emily at Bell Brook Farm & Floral Design Studio was a choice we are so happy we made for our wedding day! I (bride) had seen their work at someone else's (Fall) wedding a couple of years back and the arrangements stuck in mind ever since... So I called! In preparation for our special day, we had a call with them to go over our aesthetic ideas and needs. Not only did the call help provide them with our hopes for the day, but it also helped give us a lot of valuable advice and suggestions that we ended up going with. Emily was great in her response, ability to accommodate some last minute changes, and meet our budget. On the day of our wedding, the flowers and foliage EXCEEDED our expectations. The arrangements matched our color scheme perfectly and gave the rich, summer garden vibe I was hoping for... honestly better than I could've imagined. When it comes to the logistics, BBF&FDS were very clear and upfront about costs and order of steps/information needed. They made sure to do their research on the venue's procedures and setup/broke down as scheduled. I definitely suggest using BBF&FDS for your special events! They are so talented and can make a bold, yet delicate, statement with whatever your vision is.

Salem Cross Inn checked all our boxes for the perfect venue. It was affordable and included an outdoor ceremony location as well as an indoor ceremony location in case of rain. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous for our early Autumn wedding to allow us to be married outside. Our guest list was small, less than 50 people, which allowed us to rent The Brookfield Room on the second floor. This was perfect for us and provided us with a dance room and recpetion room. The bridal suite gave us sanctuary to have our makeup and hair done while our amazing photographer wandered around capturing our day. The backdrop of a beautiful farm landscape made for the perfect fantasy enchanted forest wedding theme. But the staff were the real stars in our day as they made everything incredibly easy. Donna and Nancy checked in on us to make sure we were all set. They helped with some quick changes and genuinely enjoyed our party. Hailee was a superstar! She took care of anything we needed, made sure that our stuff was safe and was wonderful with the kids at our party. I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. I am grateful for their professionalism, joy and the food was absolutely mouthwatering!!

Curating timeless memories with the beauty God gave us. Sustainably-focused, intentional design for intimate experiences. We offer full planning and design, month of coordination plus, and content creation through our Moments by The Traveling Tee Events division.

I hired Steph for my September 2021 wedding in Connecticut. She was very communicative and organized through the whole planning process. Once the wedding came, she helped setup the ceremony area beautifully. She also dealt with the crazy landowners-I didn’t even know anything was going on because she handled the whole thing without needing to involve me and distract me from my wedding day. She’s always smiling and willing to lend a hand. She joined us on the dance floor later on and was so much fun! Overall great experience with her services!

We had our wedding at the Colonial Hotel in July, and it was truly the best experience from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. With the pagoda outside for the ceremony and the amazing outdoor tent for the reception. We had family traveling who got the pleasure of staying at the hotel, as did me and my Husband, and everything was clean and comfortable. Access to the pool and hot tub, and their amazing restaurant and bar. The day of the wedding I was well taken care of, and didn’t have to worry about a single thing, everything was decorated and prepared perfectly, they took my visions and made them come to life! Both me and my husband got many updates on the day of the wedding, making sure we knew where we needed to be and what would be happening next, which helped tremendously! We couldn’t be anymore pleased, and we will forever recommend the Colonial Hotel!
