Saltbox catered our wedding in rural Vermont a few weeks ago, and my husband and I (as well as our…read moreguests) couldn't be happier! My husband and I are both vegetarian and good food obsessed, so when we first started planning our wedding, we knew good food was a top priority. It was important to us to have a vegetarian wedding that was delicious and vegetable-focused (and not just boring pastas or tofu steaks). We also knew that lots of our guests were meat-eaters and we wanted to make sure everyone walked away excited about the food. Well, Saltbox completely pulled it off. They worked patiently with us at every step. We gave them the adjective "Ottolenghi-esque" at the beginning and a few other notes about our taste, and they ran with it from there, delivering a draft menu that was amazing and then revising it according to our feedback. Throughout, they were easy to work with and extremely professional, and they pulled off of the details on the day beautifully, with everyone leaving happily stuffed and thrilled. (They even accommodated our gluten-free and dairy-free guests with delicious alternatives.) The waitstaff was also fantastic and helped ensure that my husband and I got enough to eat amidst all the busy-ness and dancing. Now, just a few weeks later, we are constantly hearing from friends and family about how great the food was (the best they've ever had by some accounts), asking for Saltbox's name, and remarking about how they completely forgot that they were eating vegetarian for the night because every dish was so delicious. I have been to lots of weddings and frankly, most of the food is not memorable. Saltbox's food absolutely was.

From the rich history of the building itself (which has been preserved beautifully)to very knowledgeable owners ( Peggy and Glenn) whom made our wedding reception planning a breeze. We would highly recommend this venue for any event! Peggy was very accommodating and extremely helpful during our planning and organized our vendors so we didn't have to. And if that's not enough both her and her husband Glenn even helped us decorate as well as clean up after the wedding was over! Who does that?! We still hear praises from our weddings guests about how gorgeous Exchange Hall is and how much they enjoyed the atmosphere. Look no further, Exchange Hall is not only gorgeous but is run by very talented owners! Bravo!

There is a cool bar in the back right of the venue and the bartenders are quick and chill. The sound was very good and it was a great night!!! I would not hesitate to return here for the right show!

You pay your entrance fee, park your car, get your map from the giftshop and your off to explore the grounds and the art it contains. We spent about 2 hours wandering and it was such a fantastic experience. Im glad the items were tagged so we could learn more about each piece and the artist. The pictures just dont do justice to the beauty, serenity and scope of the grounds. The staff was very friendly. There is a small gift shop and café on the grounds. It never felt crowded. Will definitely be back!

The park is very well organized with different walking paths to see all the art installations in order. We chose the white path, there is also a red path, but it was hot and our dog wasn't super thrilled about it. There are dog water stations all over which is fantastic. We brought his water as well for simplicity. We saw people having picnics all over the park and some taking naps. Such a peaceful location to just hang out and read or spend a quiet afternoon.

It was very impressive how many people commented, as they arrived, on how wonderful the setting was -- "How did you find this place?" It has a lot of charm and a bit of quirkiness thrown in for flavor. Reasonably priced, conveniently located, and managed by members of the Club who were readily accessible and accommodating. We had a great night and much of the mood was provided by the ambiance of the AWC. Wholeheartedly recommend choosing this location for gatherings!

So the time comes and we're pulling up and I ask the boy where we're going. He says "there" and points to a really cute looking historic home. I swear I must have let out a sigh of relief at that point. The place was really quaint with old wallpaper and furniture. It's like visiting your great grandparents house, that sort of feel. We had the whole place to ourselves, but spent the time downstairs where there was a full kitchen, dining room area and living room. The perfect space for the number of guests that came. Upstairs is a big room that's all cleared out with a little stage. I hear they teach ballroom dancing to kids here once a week, which I think is fantastic. Overall I was impressed with the place and was happy my family had picked someplace a little more unique for the day. Now if only I can convince the boy to someday move back to Acton so the future offspring can take dance lessons here!

With our events, we tend to have people complain that we're so far from Boston (and getting to the Conference Center isn't so either either), but the venue is cheaper than hosting a conference in Boston. Unfortunately, your only nearby dinner choices are places like Bertuccis and Naked Fish. The breakfast/snacks/lunch and the amenities (like plugs in every seat) are better than anything you'll find in the city and overall it's worth hosting a conference here over the city especially if your guests have no preference for location.
