Where do I start? From the very beginning Kim and her team at Hyla Brook Estate were always nice and answered all questions even if I asked soo many!! They had made wedding day smooth even though we were a little crazy. From the table setups, to the small things that had to be changed last minute. They just absolutely killed it, the venue is stunning, the team members are absolutely wonderful. I have zero complaints! They are pros no matter what you throw at them. They created my wedding day welcome mirror, they have an amazing something borrowed collection, amazing makeup/hair room, so many photo locations on site, they coordinated well with my vendors, literally nothing went wrong on my wedding day! Just felt amazing! I would recommend them OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! No regrets! Thank you Kim & her team !

The Greenhouse @ Pica's 

5.0

Methuen, MA
  • Up to 75 guests

  • Starts at $5,000

When Shane and Wayne Bernard (Co-owners of Pica’s Pub and Grill est. 1939) were presented with the opportunity to expand next door into the building formerly occupied by Laschi’s Garden Center they jumped at it. They knew exactly what the area was missing and wanted to create a fun space with quality food, ice cream and a renovated greenhouse to hold private events and weddings to compliment their full service restaurant next door. Featuring several of their fan favorite items from next door, quality Italian Deli Sandwiches and Gifford’s Premium Ice Cream. They have provided ample parking and an amazing outdoor area for relaxing by the fire pit, a competitive corn hole match or just a spot to enjoy good times with friends and family. Cheers!

Shane and the team are very accommodating. Every detail that I forgot to plan the team at Pica's either asked or addressed without hesitation. The Green House area is super cute. We had 50 people. There was plenty of space for everyone. Kat tending bar was super as usual!! The menu options continue to grow. Quality of food never disappoints. Highly recommend!!!!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Field to Fork Farm! The setting is so rustic and beautiful. It truly felt magical. The farm itself provided the most incredible backdrop for photos. Every corner was stunning and full of character. The farm animals were such a special touch and the kids loved them, which made the day even more fun and memorable for everyone. As people who believe in environmental stewardship, the ability to use our wedding as an opportunity to support a working organic farm and small local family business was an important factor in our decision to work with Field to Fork as well. Patrick and Daniela were amazing hosts from start to finish. They were so welcoming, kind, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel stress-free leading up to the big day. They went above and beyond to help where they could, from coordinating with our tent and restroom vendors when we could not be there to meet them for drop offs, to starting and tending the bonfire, to letting us use their microwave! When we realized at the last minute we forgot my bouquet, Patrick even let my maid of honor pick flowers that had bloomed on the property which was even more meaningful than getting it from a florist. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or better people to work with. If you’re looking for a warm, beautiful farm setting for your wedding, Field to Fork Farm is truly something special!

About wedding venues in Windham, NH

Why Is Windham Perfect for Your Wedding Day?

Windham sits just 25 minutes from Manchester and 45 minutes from Boston, giving you that perfect Southern New Hampshire setting without the big-city traffic headaches. Couples are drawn to Windham's standout waterfront venues like Castleton on Cobbetts Pond and historic gems including the English Tudor-style Searles Castle. You'll also appreciate how close accommodations are for your out-of-town guests who'll need a place to stay.

What Makes Castleton on Cobbetts Pond Stand Out?

Castleton features a reflecting pond that creates stunning mirror-like backdrops photographers absolutely love during golden hour shoots.

How Does Searles Castle Create a Fairytale Experience in Windham?

This iconic hilltop mansion welcomes up to 250 guests with beautiful spaces both indoors and outdoors. Their culinary team has built quite a reputation with signature dishes that guests rave about; steak salmon pecan-crusted pork and turkey with cranberry sauce that consistently ranks among the best wedding meals in the region.
