Awarded Best of Zola
As soon as we toured Union Station Banquets, my parents, fiance, and I all agreed that it was the perfect venue. The architecture is beautiful, the layout is easy for guests, and there are unique historical touches to make it special. The packages are surprisingly affordable and met our needs. What we didn't discover until later was how amazing the coordinator, Neil, and his staff are. They are truly professionals. They are responsive to inquiries, extremely organized, and just altogether on top of things. They took care of everything for us, making planning and executing the wedding day a breeze. The day went off without a hitch and we are still receiving so many compliments from guests about how great their experience was. I really can't imagine going through the whole wedding process without Neil and his team; it would have been so overwhelming, especially since I don't have as much time as the average bride to devote to wedding planning and coordinating all the little nuances involved. We did splurge on the Asian Station and the ice cream sundae/coffee bar, both were big hits and really helped to keep the party flowing for adults and kids alike. We would recommend Union Station Banquets to anyone, amazingly through a year of working together to coordinate our day we don't have a single negative comment to make about them, they are outstanding!

As a wedding photographer, I'm always thrilled when I get an inquiry for a wedding at the Montague Retreat. It's one of my all time favorite places to photograph. Their team is highly experienced and very thoughtful. I know I can rely on them with any help I may need. The landscapes are dreamy, and the reception hall is beautiful. The long dirt road that leads to the retreat makes for beautiful New England portraits, and the view from the hill at sunset is unforgettable. 10/10 would highly recommend the Montague Retreat Center. I'd love to get married there!

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
Mary and her team at the Colonial were amazing. They walk you through everything and make it easy to keep track of what you need to bring and what you need to do when. You can tell this is a popular wedding spot just by how streamlined they have made everything. This is a group tasting vendor where they bring in everyone for the year; however, they make the tasting fun and you get to meet affiliated vendors that you can choose to book with. The grounds are beautiful and cozy while being easy to get to. They made our day seamless. I was worried, because most people I spoke with before the wedding said to just go with the flow because something always goes wrong, and to be honest, I felt like nothing did; I feel like that's because the Colonial and their vendors really cared about making our day special.
