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.

My wife and I chose the Concord Scout house to be the venue for our wedding reception because of…read moreits proximity to Boston, affordability, and beauty. With the help of the small staff that runs the non-profit that cares for and rents out the building, we could not have asked for a more perfect place to host our guests and celebrate. The building itself used to be a barn, and was made into a building for scouts early in the 20th century. As such, it is gorgeous inside: the support beams and trusses are exposed, and they keep the floor in stunning condition for the dancers who rent the building several times a week. Along the sides of the building, the two-story windows cast a perfect light in the room. As a venue for our reception, we were comfortably snug at about 110 guests. The tables and chairs for that many fit fine, but leaving room for a dance floor, a bar, and a buffet was a challenge. It would be a gorgeous venue for a wedding ceremony, but we couldn't fit both wedding and reception with that many people. With 50 or 60 guests, it would have done perfectly. They have enough chairs and tables for all of our guests, as well as a stage you can use. The administrator, Lois, was very easy to work with. She communicated with me clearly and gave us good suggestions on how to best utilize the space. The two staff members who cleaned before and after the party were very helpful as well. We were very pleased with the whole experience, and our guests raved about how great the venue was. We would absolutely book another event here.

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!

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.

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.
