Saltonstall Farm

5.0

Stratham, NH
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $11,000

Historic, breath taking 4 story barn The farm and barn are about 200 years old, and the barn was originally used for cows. Over the years, it has been very well taken care of, so the original beams are still there, in sizes and shapes that you just can't get anymore! The owners are the third generation in their family to take care of the property and are very grateful to be the current stewards. The barn renovations completed in 2020 and it is all ADA compliant and up to code. In the barn, there is a full sound system, 14 chandeliers, a beautiful live edge bar top, two high end composting toilets (the flushing kind!), massive barn blue doors on each end, and a grand entrance staircase. The barn holds up to 200 people and is big enough that you don't have to rent a tent even with tables and chairs, a major benefit and money saver! In the event of rain, you can use the barn as a ceremony and reception space.

We absolutely LOVE Saltonstall. We worked at the barn before the renovation, and after. Sophie & Kyle did an incredible job with the updates and renovations. It truly is a special place. There's nowhere else quite like it!

Elegant plantings and cultivated grounds fill this public garden with vibrancy that's more than a century in the making. Long Hill is a property of The Trustees of Reservations, a Massachusetts non-profit corporation. From 1916 to 1979, Long Hill was the summer home of noted author and editor of The Atlantic Monthly, Ellery Sedgwick. He summered here with his first wife, Mabel Cabot Sedgwick, an accomplished horticulturist, gardener, and author of The Garden Month by Month, and his second wife, Marjorie Russell Sedgwick, a rare plants specialist—both of whom created a delightful, enchanting landscape, surrounded by more than 100 acres of woodland. Today, visitors delight in the beauty of Long Hill’s structured and naturalistic gardens as well as a network of woodland trails. A diverse collection of trees, shrubs, and distinctive perennial plants provide color during the growing season, peaking in May and June and providing structure and beauty throughout the year.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I searched for the perfect wedding venue, we had only two "requirements". A water and mountain view. It's easy to say that Brewster's newly renovated Rogers Building fits the bill perfectly. As a graduate of Brewster, it was incredible to see this space take on a new form that is perfectly designed for an array of purposes and functions. The general aesthetic is modern and sleek but also allowed us to decorate and customize the space for our reception. Having a kitchen and bar steps away from the seating area allowed for easy access to food and drinks while still having room for 20 guest tables and a dance floor. There was plenty of space for our DJ with ample room for speakers, uplighting, and more. The service we received was stellar. The kind staff was friendly and helpful throughout the night and went above and beyond to provide a quality atmosphere and fantastic food to our guests. My husband and I were thrilled to be the first couple to use this space for their wedding reception. We highly recommend the Rogers Building to couples who are looking for beautiful views, friendly service, modern amenities, and competitive rates.

Rockport Art Association & Museum

5.0

Rockport, MA
  • Up to 120 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,150

Located in the heart of the picturesque seaside village of Rockport, Massachusetts, the Art Association is the perfect setting for your wedding ceremony and/or reception. The award-winning fine art on display that surrounds your guests creates a unique and elegant backdrop for your special day!

We immediately fell in love with RAA&M from the moment we walked in, but little did we know just how perfectly the colors, artwork, and overall vibe would mesh perfectly with our vision and personalities for our wedding day. We wanted a rainbow-artsy-cozy feel for the venue, and we barely had to do any decorating to make that happen. It was absolutely gorgeous and we're so happy to have chosen it for our wedding day. The venue coordinator is very skilled at her job and made sure everything went off without a hitch. My only (minor) complaints are that we didn't get as much time for the rehearsal as we felt we needed, and it felt a bit rushed as a result (and added some unneccessary stress to the day before our wedding). In addition, some of the details about the venue (like the fact that they do the placing of the table placecards, table numbers, and put together our candy table for us) were not clearly communicated, which caused some mild reshuffling of duties the day before. But all in all, those minor issues I would gladly take on again, as they are nothing compared to the horror stories other people have at different venues! Overall, we're so pleased with RAA&M and would have our wedding there again in a heartbeat.

The large sycamore trees filled with autumn leaves, the beautiful details inside of the mansion, the unique carriage house, and the large garden area where we held our ceremony & outdoor tent reception was all of the decor we needed to complete our wedding. My husband and I really enjoyed working with Dawn (the wedding venue coordinator), she was really what sold us on the venue! The opportunity to work with someone who was so professional, flexible, and friendly was what made the wedding planning process that much better. Dawn did an incredible job helping us plan our outdoor tent rentals, use of all of the amenities on-site and went above and beyond to help us on the day of the wedding. All of the staff at kimball jenkins are very welcoming! We will always remember kimball jenkins estate as our rainy, fairytale wedding venue & will definitely be back to see the beautiful downtown concord area, the estate at kimball jenkins and to say hello to Dawn!!
