Transcendent
The food at our reception dinner and day-after brunch simply transcended what we thought possible for wedding food. Each dish was incredibly well-made, well-plated, and delicious. Emma and her catering team are extremely talented and ensured that every detail was perfectly executed. We are food snobs with high standards, and every course exceeded our expectations. People will not stop talking about how good the food was (including our pies for dessert!).
Everything was perfect. My wife teared up as she hugged Gloria good-bye on our last day! We did not want to say good-bye to this magical place. If you are looking for a beautiful venue that will give you the barn wedding of your dreams, know that you will be in fantastic hands at Gloriosa & Co.
Warm, welcoming and charming
Gloria, Emma and the rest of their team at the Curtis House made our day so special. Thank you so much!

I believe there is magic in spaces. Whether it be in a sprawling forest, an intricate mansion or a bubbling swamp, you can always find it in the little crevices. In my lifetime, I have tried to foster magic where I could find it. I’ve found it in our little town of Ashfield. I’ve found it in the dimples of my children. And twenty years ago, I found it in the big gray house above the town fields, inhabited by a sweet old woman named Angela O’Donnell.
I fell in love with the location, the sheer scale of the house, the apple trees in the backyard, but I really fell in love with the potential of the space—what I knew I could bring to it. So every day after I walked my daughters home from preschool, I would bring Angela baked goods and vegetables and chat with her about anything and everything. When Angela couldn’t manage to live on her own, she gave me her blessing and sold her beautiful home to us. Over the past twenty years I’ve done my best to pull the magic out of it—with new coats of paint and fairy trees and my mother’s paintings. I feel blessed that I can share the magic of my home and garden with people who want the most important moments of their lives to be beautiful and intimate.
Emma loves to grow, harvest, cook, and eat food. She relishes any opportunity to share food with others, especially against the beautiful, varied backdrop of Gloria’s exquisite gardens. In the past, she has worked on vegetable CSAs, urban farms, and one memorable orchard, and she has cooked for folk dancers, choral singers, Suzuki string players, and high school students. Shepherding you through the process of throwing an unforgettable party, from answering your initial inquiry to preparing your delicious seasonal feast, is the most fun job she’s had yet. Emma is thrilled to be living the agrarian dream in the Hilltowns of western Massachusetts, where she cooks and eats with her farmer husband and three children, all hungry.

As a wedding photographer I'm always provided a hot meal. Most couples don't want me to take photos of others eating so this is the best time for me to take a break. Most wedding food is the same- chicken, prime-rib or vegetarian. How exciting! Nothing ever surprises me and most of the food is too salty. Gloriosa & Co. without a doubt, provided the BEST meal I've had at a wedding since starting my business. Not only was the food delicious but the staff was very friendly and welcoming. When I walked through the kitchen to get to the bride's suit they offered me a little bite to eat- fresh mozzarella, basil, vinaigrette and local heirloom tomatoes. I dreamt of those tomatoes for weeks. I love their emphasis on local and you will too. Not only are they masters in the kitchen but Gloria also offers beautiful floral arrangements from her garden. At the last wedding I photographed the bride put together the table arrangements with her mother and aunt from buckets of gorgeous flowers that Gloria provided. I thought this was an incredibly beautiful moment and relaxing activity for the bride before the wedding. She also arranged the bride's bouquet, fresh and gorgeous wild flowers. I highly recommend Gloriosa & Co! You will not be disappointed.
