Birch Hill is phenomenal!! From the very beginning of the process, Serena was by our side, always answering any questions we had, making sure everything was clear, and making sure we had everything OUR way. The day of, she exceeded my expectations; she was AMAZING - literally running around to make sure our day went smoothly (which it did). Literally nothing went wrong other than running 15-20 minutes behind schedule which wasn’t their fault! Food was amazing, and everyone thought so, we heard the bartender was awesome as well as the drinks he made, and the venue itself is just beautiful. We had our ceremony at the pond pergola and our reception in the Colombia Ballroom - both absolutely stunning and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day, thanks to Birch Hill & Serena and even Kelsey who helped Serena the day of! We can’t thank Birch Hill enough for everything they did for us and our big day and we are so glad we trusted them; would recommend them 1000 times over!

Our experience at the Essex was 10/10. Our event coordinator was Cindy, who did a phenomenal job guiding us and our wedding planner through the choices to be made and the lay of the land! She was so communicative and was great about answering any and all of my questions (and I had a lot). The banquet and catering team spearheaded by Sydney was fabulous as well; I have celiac disease and it was very important to me that I have a dedicated gluten-free wedding, and Cindy and Sydney made my dreams come true while also navigating our guests varied allergies and dietary restrictions! The food was phenomenal and several of our guests commented on the high quality of the meals. We and our guests also loved that the inn was connected to everything we needed on the property all weekend - we never had to leave the building (which was ideal, given we got married in early March!). The inn is so cozy and cute, and the spa is a wonderful and relaxing bonus. My husband and I have nothing but good things to say about our entire (flawless!) wedding weekend at the Essex, from the rehearsal dinner to the farewell brunch. Photo by Anne Mientka Photography

We had our wedding at Arrowhead Golf Course last October. The place is beautiful and all went well. It was so stress free with Linda, the event coordinator. They catered the meal, decorated and easily accommodated all of our extra requests. We had the best time and our friends commented on that it was the best wedding they had been to in ages. We had a great meal, a band and dancing and so much fun. I would 100% recommended them.

Beautiful and lush, historic yet luxurious, delicious food for the locavore, organized and professional staff...all anchored by a classic Big Red Barn. We loved our experience at The Tillerman, and think our guests did too. Their recommended vendors also were great - no issues.

Went to a wedding here and it was absolutely gorgeous. The food was fantastic and the camp itself was so beautiful, ranging from the green fields to the incredible waterfront. The hosts set up a large tent and dance floor on the soccer field protecting us from the intermittent showers that day. The tent was lined with string lights and looked almost magical when the sun began to set. On Sunday morning we walked down to see the lake surrounded by mountains of trees. Loved this place!

Having our wedding at Mad River Barn is the best decision we made during our planning process. During our initial tour, Adrienne's calm and collected demeanor, event planning experience, and confidence in her team immediately hooked us, and was very apparent the day of. Throughout our wedding weekend, we always felt like we were in good hands - taken care of and our preferences valued. The professionalism, courtesy, and heart of all staff members was unparalleled throughout the weekend. Chef Sam is also a huge selling point - with a strong emphasis on locally sourced and seasonal ingredients the food he and his team cooked for our wedding was unbelievably tasty. During our tasting prior to the event, many members of our party were so moved by the clear passion Chef Sam has for his craft. We can promise you will not be disappointed, and your expectations will likely be far exceeded, if you select Mad River Barn for your special events!
