We were so pleased with our amazing experience at Fern Hill Barn!! Every member of the team was consistently working throughout the day to make things run smoothly and help take any pressure or stress off us as the bride and groom. We experienced a very aggressive pop up thunderstorm right as our outdoor ceremony was supposed to take place, and I have never seen a team take action like they did. Carly kept me posted on the forecast and when we were forced to move inside, the team was at attention, putting up the sides of the tent, moving florals, and keeping everything pristine for the tent ceremony. Joanne, our banquet captain, helped me with any and everything that day - from adjusting my veil and dress, to calming my nerves about the storm, and even making sure we had our first congratulatory drinks once we were married. I cannot thank everyone enough, and we will surely be recommending our venue for years to come. All our guests were so pleased and so complimentary of the food, the cake, the friendliness of all staff, and the overall atmosphere. THANK YOU FERN HILL BARN TEAM!!

Harrington Farm was the first venue my husband and I toured. From that moment on, we found ourselves comparing every other venue that we toured to Harrington Farm- spoiler alert, none of them came even close to checking all of the same boxes. Harrington Farm’s all-inclusive package is a no-brainer: ceremony & reception venue with a massive dinner menu, individualized day-of planning, cake (with 2 bakers to choose from), coffee bar, AND a 5-hour open bar?! Count us in! The team at Harrington Farm was nothing short of incredible. From day one, Lauryn took care of making sure that all of our planning went smoothly, answered all of our (many) questions, and constantly secured our trust in Harrington Farm with handling our big day. On the actual day, Jess was the best bridal attendant I ever could have asked for. She made sure each and every one of our needs were met all night long. In addition to all of the other perks, the food at Harrington Farm is beyond amazing (you can’t say that about most venues). We especially loved the option to add the smoker to our menu items! We have received (and continue to receive) numerous compliments on our choice in wedding venue and we have to agree. If you want your big day to be 100% magical, you absolutely must choose Harrington Farm.

We were able to curate the space to our specific visions, and Jen was sooo helpful throughout the whole process. She also has the cutest bulldogs on the planet, and we were actually sad the next day picking up the remaining decorations because we wanted to keep working with her. You really don't have to do much to the space to make it beautiful, and with a Director as involved and as helpful as Jen, you'll have the most fairy tale wedding day. Just a pro tip for communication: Jen is the most responsive via phone, so text or call her to inquire about meetings, and she will be at your side whether you're planning for 6 months or 2 years.

We booked Hyland Orchard for our 9.27.24 wedding and it was simply the best decision we made! This venue is absolutely stunning and amazing to work with! If you’re looking to book here and have the option to hire Doe, DO IT! She was my go to person with wedding planning and made the process way easier! We also hired her for her beautiful rental decor & florals! She absolutely killed it and it could not have turned out better. Everyone loved the florals & decor! My bouquet & the bridesmaids were breathtaking and she nailed all my inspo I sent her! She did our arbor also and it was stunning!! She’s truly an amazing person and really cares about all of your wants and needs! & bonus because she makes it happen!! Overall If I could have done anything different I wouldn’t have! She made sure everything went smoothly and we had the best day getting married on the hilltop overlooking the orchard!! 10000/000 recommend having your wedding at Hyland Orchard and hiring Doe! It’s the perfect rustic orchard wedding!! Thank you Doe for everything you did for Bryce and I- we appreciate it more than you know!!

It’s been 3 months since our October wedding and our friends/family still rave about our wedding night. Glenpharmer was still relatively new to weddings and most guests had never been to the location before. The compliments of the facility were endless. Everyone was beyond impressed with the food that was cooked to perfection. The quality of the alcohol and drinks provided are far and away better than your standard venue. I’m not much of a review person, but your wedding is important so we need to give credit where credit is due. Glenpharmer knocked it out of the park for us. Thanks Karsan, Pat, Beth and the rest of the staff

Hi; If you want authentic New England wedding, Four Winds Farm is it. We looked at a lot of places and there are some great ones, but nothing has the authenticity and variety that this venue has - the barn, the wood-paneled sun porch, the huge house on the hill, the giant maple tree, the gardens, the trails - you'll want to get married twice (to the same person of course) - the possibilities are endless. Its at the end of a dead end road on an old apple orchard so it feels really private. We stayed for the whole weekend and had people camp and stay if they wanted to - there's extra bedrooms for family or friends. It really felt like there was no one there but our wedding party, and we were encouraged to use the entire property (like I said there are trails and lots of beautiful places to explore and hang). It was seriously amazing, more than we could have imagined!

Working with Kristen was an absolute pleasure. From the moment we reached out, it was clear she was excited to work with us. Kristen kept us in the loop and as involved as we wanted to be in the planning process. Kristen is an excellent planner and was always flexible and creative when it came to any hiccups in the road. Kristen truly went above and beyond, helping us bring our vision to life from start to finish. No detail was missed, and the end result was a the complete package that exceeded our expectations. Kristen's upbeat personality made the entire process easy and enjoyable, and although we didn't end up having our wedding at Milliken Manor, she turned our greenhouse wedding dreams into a stunning reality. The grounds of the estate are absolutely beautiful, and anyone would be lucky to celebrate their special day at the manor with Kristen by their side.

We had our wedding on June 7th 2025 at Lord Thompson Manor. I cannot express enough how you should have your wedding here. Andrew, Jackie, Janice and Ted are top tier. Janice made us feel so special and throughout the day advocated for me. When the rain stopped and i wanted pictures outside, Ted went and got a leaf blower to blow away the rain so that my dress didn’t get wet. I do not say this lightly that they will forever be like family to me. They made the best day of our lives extra special. Our guests are still saying to us they can’t stop thinking about our wedding, that it was magical and the best wedding they’ve ever have ever gone to and I owe that all to Lord Thompson Manor. I will be eternally grateful for the way they made us and our wedding feel extra special. You are making a mistake if you do not book with Lord Thompson Manor.
