My husband and I got married in June at the Barn and it couldn't have been more perfect! I am from Cohasset and was interested in celebrating locally. Initially, we chose the Red Lion because it had everything we wanted: all events on site, charming spaces, gorgeous outdoor grounds, and rooms for family to stay in! Throughout the planning process, we were delighted to find that the staff was incredible. Andrew and Nancy at the front desk were friendly and super helpful with navigating the room block. During the planning process and on the day of the wedding we worked with Sam Loonie and Toufek! They were an incredible team from start to finish! They were organized, efficient, and always willing to accommodate any of our needs. Sam Loonie was super responsive to the plethora of questions that I had throughout the planning process. I am not the most organized person on earth and her assistance with planning made it so much easier for me. She and Toufek made sure that our day ran so smoothly. Throughout the reception and even into the after party Sam and Toufek checked in with us to make sure all of our needs were met. We cannot thank them enough for all of the effort that went into pulling off an amazing day! We would highly recommend the Red Lion Inn to couples that are looking for a wedding venue!

I had my eye on The Grove at Briar Barn Inn since it was simply a blueprint on an Instagram post. From the start, I knew it was going to be where I would get married someday. There is just something so quintessentially charming about the post and beam restaurant and the quaint New England Inn. The entire experience working with The Grove was great. We picked December 8th for not only the idea of a winter wedding but also for the holiday decor and availability for our preferred vendors. They were flexible in putting together the details and stuck to all the outlined dates and deadlines. We were assigned our wedding coordinator, Jeannine, about six weeks out as they said, and we were able to have our wedding details meeting soon after. The payment portal was easy to use, and the planning pod was intuitive and a great spot to keep important details in order. Jeannine answered all my questions promptly, and in the week leading up to the wedding, she was available for us to drop off all the decor ahead of time and spent time reviewing our vision one last time. On the day of, she was present, available, and helpful. She was detailed and organized and never pushy. She let us have our day and was there to help transition to the different elements seamlessly, paying attention to all the details so we wouldn't have to. Our guests have had only positive things to say about the entire day from the incredible food and the overall atmosphere. The only critique I have of the entire experience is the check-in process at the Inn. We had a 20 room block and ended up with 29 of the 30 rooms booked by our guests. The Inn has a very strict 2pm early check-in for 50 fee or 3pm otherwise check-in. We had a Sunday wedding in December where we had a first look and formal portraits at 2pm before a 4:00 ceremony because of the early sunset. We weren't able to stay Saturday night due to another wedding buy-out. The Grove accommodated me by making the hospitality suite available for us to get ready in; however, the Inn did not accommodate the groom getting ready. We rented out the Silo/Library for 250 to try to have a space for the men to get ready, but they didn't set up the privacy screen and there were too many people milling around for him to get changed in the non-private space. After a lot of inquiry from our wedding coordinator, our officiant, and our makeup artist, they finally let him into the room at 1:45 for the additional 50, but at that point it was only enough time for him to drop his phone and wallet. He ended up changing in the single stall bathroom in the basement of the Inn, which is a nice bathroom of course, but we would have liked a little more flexibility for us to have 1 room with early check-in to give him a bit more privacy. Flipping one room early for the bride and groom doesn't seem like a lot to ask in the grand scheme of the day or even offering some alternatives - we likely would have paid for a full extra night even if we couldn't get into the room the night before just to have the spot, but they didn't give us any options to work with until 1:45 p.m. ahead of 2pm call time. My recommendation for future couples is to negotiate into the wedding contract for something ahead of time if you could potentially run into the same issue, especially if you're out of towners who don't have other options nearby.

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!

We had a small wedding on the Charles Riverboat Company's Valiant, and it was absolutely perfect! Like many couples this year, this was our second attempt at a wedding, and Melissa made it so easy to re-plan our ceremony and reception, all in a month's time. The staff was so accommodating to what we wanted for our celebration while taking all precautions to keep everyone safe - guests are still raving about how great our wedding was! The views of Boston and experience of seeing it at sunset from the water was incredible for both those that live in the area and those traveling from a bit further. We kept looking at each other during the event saying our wedding turned out even better than we originally planned. Thank you for making our amazing day happen and being a true bright spot in 2020!

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.

Hotel 1620 Plymouth Harbor was a lovely venue for our wedding. The coordinators were extremely helpful, kind, and supportive throughout the planning process, promptly answering our many questions. They also walked us through rehearsal with ease. On the big day, the coordinator did arrive slightly behind schedule, but we made up the time with efficient photography. The hotel has a beautiful historic ballroom that perfectly suited our theme. The wedding suites are also quite lovely with harbor views. We did have some minor issues - a few guest rooms are outdated and some key cards malfunctioned - but the staff quickly resolved these. They also securely stored all our decor for pickup the next day. Overall, Hotel 1620 offers a beautiful, affordable venue and helpful staff, with just a few small hiccups. We highly recommend them for weddings and events.

They thought of little details and questions to bring up and ask us that I would’ve never thought of. The ocean view in the reception space was perfect. The beach faces west (a bit rare on the east coast) so the sunset pictures were beyond amazing!

We had a room block here for our wedding in Beverly, and hosted a brunch the day after (you have to have a catered event at the hotel in order to have a room block). Overall, our experience was pretty good. The hotel has been recently renovated and the rooms were beautiful. The King Suite was great to get ready in - I had 11 people getting hair and makeup done, with 4 artists, and there was enough space. Having the Regatta Pub on site was perfect for a welcome event and post-wedding spot and could easily accommodate a large influx of people. The brunch was ready to go with plenty of tasty food and drink. They also were able to hand out welcome bags when guests checked in. Kristen, who organized the room block, was extremely communicative and responsive to our emails, and helped us add rooms to our block a couple times. We are rating 4/5 stars for a couple reasons. First is that housekeeping never came to the suite to clean after we had left for the wedding, so we returned at the end of the night to all of the room-service coffee/breakfast items that had arrived at 8:30 that morning. When we called the front desk, no one answered. Secondly, while the brunch was great, they do charge a large room fee and administrative fee.
