I photographed a dear friends wedding at the Andover Country Club. It was pouring rain at the start of the wedding day. The staff was so accommodating! Luckily, I asked a lot of questions and figured out a great plan that worked for our couple. I had asked if we could get some chairs and they were outside waiting for me right after the ceremony. I kept in touch with time and make sure it worked for both of us and it was a great working relationship. We were on the same team and making the best day for our couple. I loved working with them and I can’t wait to go back and photograph at this venue again!

Just recently got married here in April 2022. The venue was gorgeous and we had to switch coordinators the day before because ours was sick but they did a phenomenal job! They really took care of me and my husband we never had to wait for a drink they made sure we stayed on our schedule they were wonderful and really thought of everything. I heard from almost everyone it was the best wedding food they have had yet! The only downside was we had a 190 person wedding and the bar was absolutely packed at all times, they ran out of vodka and tequila in the first round of drinks and all of the garnishes soon after. Would definitely recommend doing the per person open bar if you have a remotely drinking crowd. We ended up spending twice what it would have cost us if we did that option because people then had to get grey goose etc when they ran out of everything else.

Got married on 12/3/23. We had a church ceremony and the reception at The Villa's Grand Ballroom. Had an absolutely wonderful time and experience. They were very helpful with the planning and straight forward with pricing. Ellen was our point of contact throughout and she was wonderful working with us to create exactly what we wanted. The team did an amazing job setting up all the decor and centerpieces we dropped off. Bridal attendants were extremely sweet and could tell when I needed water/food or some space. The food was spectacular and drinks were great- just wish that the bar wasn't cash only. We ended up paying for drinks during cocktail hour and then after that had guests pay for their own and that seemed to work very well. Got amazing photos in front of the fire place in the grand ballroom. Highly recommend.

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!

My husband and I just had our wedding at the Red Lion Inn on 12/16/23 and I will never be able to fully articulate how incredible it was. The staff at the RLI are incredible. Jennifer Crook our event coordinator was truly a magician. She was organized, knowledgeable, she answered emails within minutes and she really felt like a friend. As someone who was very overwhelmed with wedding planning, she was such a resource and always guided us in the right direction. I will sing her praises forever. Toufik was amazing on our wedding day making sure everyone was well taken care of and tended to every detail. That man worked so incredibly hard and made us all feel so welcome. The inn keeper Andrew was waiting for us Friday night helping us settle all of our decor and made all the guests feel so welcome. The Red Lion Inn itself is stunning. It was the perfect winter wedding destination for our ceremony and reception. Cocktail hour at hill house was perfect and they even helped us coordinate a karaoke after party in the Cave. The food was amazing, the bar staff were top notch. If they have your date available, run don't walk. I will be reliving this day for the rest of my life and the Red Lion Inn and it's staff are a huge part of our perfect day. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

From our initial meeting with the Lakeview staff to the end of the wedding night, the staff was alongside of us and helped make our entire wedding process easy and flawless. Lakeview was always there to answer questions and help ease our stress that came along with wedding planning. The food tasting event was incredible and a party within itself. We were able to taste the amazing food and really see how the ballroom comes together for the wedding. The actual wedding day was beyond flawless. The outdoor ceremony was beautiful and everything we ever imagined. The ballroom was set up so beautifully, and Michelle even came to us the day before with a suggestion of moving tables that transformed the ballroom. Michelle and Melissa covered literally everything that was needed and made sure we (and our parents) were taken care of all night. We did not have one ounce of stress on the day of the wedding and we could not be more grateful for them for making that happen. Our guests were coming up to us all night and all weekend saying how this was the best wedding they have ever been to because of how everything was executed and how everything flowed so nicely. We cannot thank the team, especially Michelle, Melissa and Anastasia enough for making our wedding the best day of our lives. We are still on top of the world thinking about it! Lakeview Pavilion has an incredible team of genuine and caring people and we could not recommend Lakeview more!

We recently had the immense pleasure of working with Meaghan, an outstanding special events manager who helped us organize our post-elopement party at the House of Blues. The experience was nothing short of magical, and we owe it all to her. From the very first meeting to the final note of music, Meaghan was the driving force behind an unforgettable evening. She listened to our goals for the event (a very non-traditional party), made suggestions to ensure our wishes were fulfilled. She brought our vision to life in a way that exceeded all our expectations. One of the most remarkable aspects of our collaboration with Meaghan was her impeccable attention to detail. She was beyond organized and handled every facet of the event with precision and care, from arranging the perfect decor to coordinating with our band and vendors as well as the House of Blues team members seamlessly. Our guests were not just impressed; they were blown away by the entire evening. The atmosphere was electric, and Meaghan played a pivotal role in creating a night filled with music, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. From the lighting and sound, table arrangements, and the delectable catering options, every element of our party was flawlessly executed. What truly sets Meaghan and the entire team at House of Blues apart is their ability to understand their clients' vision and turn it into reality. Making such a complex event feel effortless is no small feat. Meaghan's dedication and passion for her work were evident throughout the planning process, and she always made us feel like we were her top priority. We cannot express how thrilled we are with how everything turned out. Thanks to Meaghan, our post-elopement party at the House of Blues was an absolute dream come true. The memories created that night will be treasured for years to come. If you're looking for an amazing venue and awesome experience for your special event, with people who can transform your vision into a remarkable reality, we wholeheartedly recommend Meaghan and the team at the House of Blues.
