We had our wedding at Groveland Fairways by Wedgewood Weddings on 4/26/25! We initially got in contact with Groveland Fairways in the very early part of 2024, and it didn’t take long for us to decide that this was the venue for us! Since booking, the venue changed ownership and became a part of Wedgewood Weddings & Events. WW honored our pre-existing contract we had with Groveland Fairways and the transition was seamless! From the get-go, the WW team set up our planning meeting, details call, final meeting, and rehearsal. We had A LOT of TBDs after our first planning meeting, so thank you to the WW team for your patience! We primarily worked with Nicole, but the whole team was VERY involved. Everyone at Groveland Fairways was professional, organized, accommodating, available, and helpful. I’m originally from CT, so on more than one occasion I’d let the WW team know (with only a few days notice) that my mom was coming up and wanted to stop by the venue to plan things out and visualize the day. We never felt like an inconvenience and the WW team was there for us if we had questions but also let us walk around and do our thing. We planned to get married outside by the arbor (Terrace Garden), but the old saying “April showers bring May flowers” stayed true to its word and we had rain. Fortunately, Groveland Fairways has a beautiful indoors option (Fireside Room) and it worked out perfectly for us. It was a more intimate setting for us and all of our favorite people. WW offers multiple enhancements if you want to elevate your special day or make it more custom to you and your style, but we felt that the venue was simple and beautiful on its own! It fit our 135 guests very comfortably. There are multiple spots around the venue to take pictures - whether it be on the front porch, under the porte cochere, up in the new bridal suite, outside on the putting green, or around the grounds with the arborvitaes and white trellis in the background. We don't have enough good things to say about Groveland Fairways, it's charm, and incredibly thoughtful team! Thank you to everyone at Groveland Fairways, who made this experience SO EASY and our day so special!

From the moment we reached out to the Saphire Estate, their communication was quick and prompt.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience than what we had at The Groton Inn. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was something special—charming New England character, cozy fireplaces, an on-site art gallery, and beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces to suit any style of celebration. But what truly made our wedding unforgettable was working with Eleanor. She was organized, warm, and incredibly thoughtful every step of the way. We felt supported from day one, and when the big day came, we didn’t have to lift a finger. Set-up, coordination, and clean-up were all handled flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment.

It is so beautiful, there is many beautiful spots on the property to choose from to have your wedding ceremony. Sharon and Maria were incredible. We were originally supposed to have our wedding at on a family members property, but they pulled out on us 82 days from the wedding. With a stroke of luck they had our date available. I emailed and called on a Monday morning and Sharon called me on speaker phone while driving her kids to work because she understood my urgency. They got me in for a meeting that very day and we officially booked the venue the next day. Honestly the entire situation was a blessing. They really handle everything for you the day of and the help so much in the planning process when it comes to your decor and schedule planning. They communicated well and promptly. They were there on time and waiting for us at every meeting we had scheduled. They accommodated our schedules. I joked that although I have never taken anxiety meds, I believe that Maria is that in human form. Our wedding came together so beautifully. We were wanting a fun, and relax vibe of a family BBQ and we got exactly that. Having the covered porch was so nice for our guests that would rather conversate and chill, than dance and party. We were able to have an ice cream and pizza truck at the end of the night and they coordinated with them to set up in the right spot. For decor we literally just dropped off our boxes and went over last minute things, and they took it from there. We arrived and it was just how we wanted things and at the end of the night everything was neatly packed in the car to go. Pricing was also insanely good. We looked at many other bring your own vendor venues and non were priced as well as them and also coordinated the day for you. I would highly recommended this venue for your wedding, other large party or even smaller more intimate gatherings.

The Colonial Hotel was the perfect place to host our wedding. We stayed over the night before and got ready there the morning of, and had our cocktail hour and reception under the tent. From the first email, Mary was beyond helpful and communicative. She made the entire process as smooth as possible. I always felt like she had it under control! She even let us drop off our decor a couple weeks in advance, and then her and her team handled all of the setup. Although I was extremely involved in the planning during my engagement, Mary made it easy to enjoy the day and forget about all of the little things. The convenience of the Colonial Grille made it easy to continue on to our after party. The food was great and so were the drinks! The best part was finishing pictures and immediately having Mary deliver my new husband & I our signature cocktails without having to ask. Their partnership with Gerardos also made the cake process extremely easy. Would 10000000% recommend working with Mary & her team for your big day!

My husband and I got married at the Hilton in Woburn on 6/8/24. Anyone that knows me, knows I stress about everything like there is no tomorrow. The Hilton put all my worries at ease. I did have a few different wedding coordinators throughout the process but they all were very helpful and communicated well with one another when switching to a different coordinator. Ruth and Kari- the best of the best! Responded quickly if I had any questions or concerns. We had our ceremony and reception at the Hilton. Kari and Alli (director of banquets)- words cannot even express how grateful I felt having both of them help with the ceremony entrances as we had an odd amount of people in the wedding party. Kari and Alli were both there the day of our wedding and made sure everything was set up the way I envisioned it. Ruth, Kari, and Alli, thank you all so much for making my wedding day the best, most memorable day, of my life!

The Stevens Estate at Osgood Hill was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the moment we started working with them, Amy was so helpful, asking questions we would have never thought of to ensure we were happy all day and everything went smoothly, even down to what drink we wanted after finishing the ceremony. The space is gorgeous - the tent and mansion are amazingly beautiful, though it can get a bit hot in the suites in the summer with a lot of people for getting ready photos. We ended up bringing mini electric hand fans and they were a lifesaver. They had an attendant assigned to us throughout the night to make sure we were fed and hydrated, and it just made everything run so smoothly. The food (especially the appetizers) was so good! We could not have been happier with our experience at The Stevens Estate, and we highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful and well-run wedding location.

Cannot recommend this place enough! We had the most beautiful wedding on September 21, 2024. Donna was very pleasant to work with and made the wedding planning process very easy for us. The bridal suite is gorgeous as well as the entire venue. I was surprised by how amazing the food was! There is a tasting event that happens in February for couples getting married that year, which was a lot of fun to attend. The food at the tasting was good, but it was even better on our wedding day. One of the best filet's we had in a while. Not to mention, it rained on our wedding day, which was a bummer at first because the garden where the ceremony sight is is absolutely stunning...but we had our ceremony indoors which was equally beautiful because the room has big windows, so you get the feel of an outdoor ceremony with views overlooking the golf course. Overall we are so happy we chose Pleasant Valley for our venue and we can't wait to go back for our anniversary dinner!

The Multicultural Arts Center was a beautiful venue for our wedding ceremony and reception! We had our ceremony outdoors in the courtyard just outside the building, and the staff helped us to get the permits to use the courtyard, helped to set up microphones for the ceremony, and also helped work with us on a backup plan to have the ceremony indoors in case it had rained on our wedding day. The courtyard is a charming spot with trellises and greenery and is surrounded by classic-looking New England buildings. Adria and Taylor on the staff were extremely helpful in helping us plan our reception: they answered our many questions and let us rehearse in the venue so that we could figure out how we wanted to lay out the space. The theater hall was an amazing place to have our reception: we especially loved the balcony and the design of the ceiling, and there was plenty of room for a little over 100 guests, buffet tables, a DJ, and a dance floor. The venue was also a really convenient location for our guests - it's close to the T and has several nearby hotels. Would highly recommend!

We came across the Huntington Theatre very early during our venue search, but since the first visit and meeting with Esther we fell in love with the Maso Studio! We planned an unconventional wedding which involved merging Indian culture with a non-denominational western ceremony, and Esther, Abbie, Kat and the whole team made our vision come to life. They met with us as many times as we wanted, accommodated all of our odd requests, and helped our friends decorate the space on the day of. The bar team executed our Indian-style custom cocktails perfectly, and provided invaluable suggestions that made the cocktails memorable for all our guests. Since the Maso Studio had its own lighting and sound systems, we were able to make our wedding look and sound just the way we wanted. The team also helped us come up with lighting presets during the ceremony and reception. We cannot recommend the Huntington Theatre enough for your own dream wedding.
