This is stunningly beautiful place for a natural setting wedding and it is near a pond too, so you…read morecan have pictures by the water. Heck, maybe you can arrive in style, being rowed in on a boat! For the budget bride who likes something a little different, this place is a find. You can submit a rental inquiry online now (thank goodness), and it includes a set price for the whole/half day, a dining/function hall 1400sq foot, hardwood floors, air conditionining, a fully equipped kitchen (for your caterer of choice), tables and seating (so you don't have to pay more for rental). I confess, I never got to visit this place since I ended up finding my wedding site at First Parish Church United in Westford, MA, but I obsessed about this place for a long time. The outdoor wedding, the wedding pictures on a lighted deck...you should definitely consider this place if you're very strict on budget (at the time it was $500 for the whole day) but still want to have a beautiful wedding for 100 people or less.

Don't even bother. I…read moreread Ross's review so I knew I was going to be dealing with slow communication and I was okay with that: I'm planning a wedding for 2018 or 2019 (1-2 years from now). No biggie. Replies were slow, and the person I was in contact with wasn't very open. I first contacted (I'll call him "Kal") at the end of March. He said he could only show the place on Sundays. My fiance works Sundays and can not get that day off... but after a few e-mails we decided that Sunday at 1 would be fine. We now needed to pick a Sunday. We picked one, which turned out to be Easter day (we could make it but Kal couldn't: totally understandable) but we kept going back and forth saying "that Sunday won't work for me" or "I can't do that Sunday", etc... Fine. I get it. People can be busy and we have a lot of time to plan this thing out: no hurry, no worries. Then one day I get an e-mail from Kal: "Unfortunately I am not available any of the dates that you have listed. we have reached our quota of rentals for this year, so rentals are closed for 2017. As a result I am not scheduling special appointments to show the lodge. I know you are looking for next year. We will not be reserving any dates or booking events for next year until January of 2018." Now, I don't know about you guys, but to me, that means "screw you, we already have made enough money with booking so we're not going to put in the effort to even show you the place." My fiance and I just wanted to see the place: that's all. Not have any booking or anything, just SEE IT. I sent an e-mail back (on April 11th) explaining that to Kal, but now it's May 6th and still no reply from Kal. As far as I know, this place just wants your money and that's it. My advise to anyone thinking about going to this place is... just don't bother. It was a waste of my time and it might be a waste of yours. (I am going to link Kal this review: maybe their customer service will be better from here on out) Good luck.

We could not be happier with this venue! Everything about having a wedding here was perfection. We…read morehad the farmhouse to get ready with space for groom and bride to be on separate floors. The weather allowed for a beautiful outdoor ceremony with a background of Fall foliage., The little things like providing a golf cart to transport the elderly grandma from ceremony to cocktail hour to an amazing fully stocked coffee bar added special touches. The food was on point and the dance floor was perfect. Guests loved the fireplace outside on the patio providing a cozy space to break from music . I recommend this piece of paradise with 100% enthusiasm.

There aren't enough words to describe our incredible wedding experience at Harrington Farm. Not…read moreonly is the venue beautiful, but it's cozy, warm, and elegant. It's everything we wanted in a venue and the sunset view is the cherry on top. One of the many wonderful things about Harrington Farm is no matter what time of year it is, it's a gorgeous venue inside and out. The Harrington Farm staff gave us the wedding of our dreams. From day one, Lauryn Mattson was by our side and guiding us through the entire wedding planning process. Every question, concern or request was handled with care and consideration. It was unbelievably easy to work with the Harrington team! We truly felt prepared for our big day; we met with Lauryn at least 4 times before the wedding which really put my anxieties at ease. We knew our options, we knew how the ceremony was going to go, and we knew we could rely on Lauryn and the Harrington staff. The food was delicious and fresh. I've received so many compliments about how amazing the food was! Our package included a wide selection of station boards, appetizers, dinner options, and even desserts! My guest raved about the coffee bar and how friendly the wait staff was. I personally feel that the packages are extremely generous given the price of it all. After speaking with some recently married friends, we learned that we got more for a fraction of the price they were paying. Not just a desirable location but we were also able to have our ceremony and reception in the same place! All in all, incredible staff, beautiful venue, delicious food, and a truly wonderful experience. Thank you Harrington Farm! We will never stop saying great things about this venue!

Great new self-serve winery in Maynard. The establishment is adorable and it seems to be family…read morerun. The decor is cute and the concept is very cool. You get to read about and choose your own wine with options at 1, 3 or 5 ounces. We stayed for a while and enjoyed different variations of wine. I feel the pricing is fair, the only weird thing is that you're timed out after 12 ounces of wine. I find that strange as the standard pour of wine is 5 ounces so this is just slightly above two glasses. The food menu is small but the charcuterie and desserts that we saw seemed great! Definitely a good addition to the Maynard area!

There are not enough positive things to say about the Warren Conference Center and all the staff!!…read moreI just had my wedding there 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier with how things turned out! We began planning our wedding over a year and a half ago and when our original coordinator left her position, we thought things might fall through the cracks and that planning might become tricky. Not so! Ashley S. took over as our event manager and was amazing!! Ashley not only answered every email promptly (and believe me, I sent her a lot of emails over the course of 15 months!), but she also took the time to answer every question I had, no matter how insignificant it seemed. During the entire planning process, Ashley helped me to figure out the logistics and all the moving pieces to make our wedding weekend flow seamlessly. When things seemed to get hectic the week before the wedding, Ashley assured me that she had done this many times and that things would work out - and they definitely did! We had our rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding at the Warren Center and that was the BEST decision about the wedding we made - it was so easy and convenient to have all our friends and family check into their rooms (or for the bridal party, the super-fun cabin!) and then be done traveling for the whole weekend! I had a specific vision for our wedding and had lots of little details I wanted incorporated into the design - Ashley not only executed my ideas, but did so in a way that was so much better than anything I had imagined! Everything from the ceremony set up to the centerpieces and the donut "cake" that she somehow managed to create for us - it was ridiculously amazing! The food at both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding itself was delicious and plentiful and we received many compliments on the "unique" menus. Ashley and Judy the catering manager on site made sure my husband and I both had plenty of time to eat as well as plenty of food! I never had an empty glass in my hand! I can't thank them enough for ensuring that we were fed and happy all night! If you're looking for a wedding venue that offers everything in one location - rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, lodging - along with a beautiful location, amazing value, great food and the most friendly and helpful staff, then the Warren Center is it!

The food was good, my favorite was the pork and side of roasted potatoes with a spicy aioli sauce.

The venue easily seated 100+ people so everyone had plenty of room, but the carpeting and interior was a bit dated

The wood-paneled setting of the main room seems to encourage our event attendees (mostly workshops) to feel comfortable speaking or brainstorming. One of the reasons that our organization uses Edwards House whenever possible is because we do not have to use outside caterers, and the dinners we've had at Edwards House have easily stayed within budget and been much more satisfying and appreciated (by our attendees) than catered meals. The staff has been very easy to work with, and set-up and clean-up are always taken care of with no hassle.

We were fortunate enough to have the whole house to ourselves. We were able to use all the little rooms for small group discussions and the bigger room for group events. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable and clean. The only thing we had a problem with was we had way to many women who wanted to come and therefore had to have some stay off site. Not the end of the world, but did break up the flow and connectivity, but wouldn't keep us from going back.

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.

We recently celebrated our daughter's 4th birthday there, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Keith, the owner, was incredibly responsive and attentive during the planning process, and his team made everything so easy and stress-free. Planning birthday parties can feel overwhelming, but Keith has thought of everything. The flow of the party was seamless, it honestly ran like a perfectly organized wedding, just for little princesses and superheroes (no surprise since Keith is a professional wedding DJ!). The staff was warm, engaging, and made sure every child felt included. They even had costumes for boys, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our daughter was thrilled to meet Cinderella, and even though her last minute request for Elsa couldn't be accommodated due to a costume delay, the actress went above and beyond by singing Frozen songs, which completely made her day. The cakes and pastries were all school safe, which we really appreciated since we had friends with allergies. Parking was also easy and convenient. Overall, it was a magical, stress-free celebration, our daughter is already asking to go back! We would highly recommend Sugar Plum Parties for anyone looking to create a fun, memorable birthday experience!

This was her second time here and she is looking forward to the summer months when I can take her again. Everyone at Sugar Plum is friendly, enthusiastic and dedicated to insuring a fun time is had by the little princesses! The location is easy to find with plenty of parking and the inside is decorated as you would imagine: princessy, pretty and lots of pink! Each time we visited, the place was neat and clean. (Not when we left-as you can imagine after 15 girls having a fun party) The activities are age appropriate and the host kept the activities moving along so that the kids didn't get too bored in between. Each time we went there were two princesses ( Elsa and Anna; Rapunzel and Jasmine) and not once did I see them go off character! Even while doing nails and face painting! Check out their drop in schedule, there are plenty of fun options. And while I can't comment on the private parties, I have heard from some attendees that the party options are worth the price.
