“We had our wedding in September and we were blown away by how amazing this venue was. Aside from the grounds and hotel being surrounded by beautiful flowers and gardens, the staff, food, cake, reception hall and outdoor ceremony spot were perfect. The staff's sincerity and attention to detail allowed us to go with the flow and enjoy our wedding day. Our guests loved the venue as much as we did!”

“The Colonial Hotel was the perfect choice for our wedding of 200 guests. Mary and her team were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our planning process, and they proved it when we needed them most. The day before our ceremony, the forecast called for rain and strong winds, but Mary jumped into action and rearranged our entire event indoors in less than 24 hours without missing a beat. What really impressed us was how they managed every single dietary restriction for all our guests without any issues or confusion. The space itself is elegant and timeless, and everything felt effortless from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to make our day special.”

“Where do I begin? The Chocksett was our second or third venue me and my wife toured, and we were impressed from the moment we pulled into the parking lot. We met with Tianna, who gave us a tour; from each get ready room, to the bridal suite, the ballroom, the outdoor ceremony space, and the restaurant downstairs. We fell in love with everything about it. When we sat down with Tianna after the tour, we were blown away by everything that was included and were pleasantly surprised by the cost (The previous venues we toured were significantly out of our budget). Tianna takes the time and truly cares and asks every little detail, details that we didn't even think of. From the moment we signed our contract with the Chocksett, Tianna made every single step 100% stress free for us - and if you're planning a wedding, you know how stressful the planning is! She handled everything. Every meeting with her was so easy, so stress free, fun, and she is such a genuine person. Fast forward to wedding day and I don't think we ever saw her stop moving. She wanted to make sure everything went perfect and smooth for us and that we didn't have to worry about a single thing. It ended up raining during our ceremony, and without any hesitation, let us know she was already working on moving everything to the indoor ceremony space and not to worry. She set up all of our decorations we provided, set up every place setting exactly how we wanted, the welcome sign and seating chart, the list goes on. I now see that when every bride said that the day flies by, that's an understatement. The entire day flew by from when we got there to get ready, to the after party. The day was everything we dreamed it would have been and more. Thank you to everybody at the Chocksett, especially Tianna. If you're looking for a venue, I promise, you don't need to look any further. Book at the Chocksett and work with Tianna. I promise you'll be just as impressed as we were. I wish we could go back and do it all over again. We cannot possibly thank you enough.”

“We chose The VERVE Hotel Boston Natick, Tapestry Collection by Natick for our wedding hotel block and couldn't have been happier with the decision. From start to finish, Cameron kept us in the loop and answered every question we had without delay. He went above and beyond to coordinate the block for us, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. The space itself is clean and spacious, giving our guests plenty of room to relax and enjoy themselves. Honestly, it was hands down one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in.

“The Blue Bear Inn was the perfect wedding venue for us! We knew we wanted a venue that allowed dogs, was close to an airport (1 hr) for family traveling, had excellent food, offered beautiful scenery, could house our out-of-town guests, was mostly a one stop shop (with lodging, wedding venue, ceremony site options, day-of-coordination, catering, & cake/desserts), and provided historical romance vibes without being a barn — and the Blue Bear checked every box and then some! Carrie, Bob, and the team gave us such a special wedding weekend in May - they didn't plan the most perfect rainbow, but I know they would’ve if they could!”
