Hope D. Sent on 10/11/2023i'm only getting married once, but if i got married again, i'd choose the fruitlands
The Fruitlands Museum was the most perfect venue for us. We had a medium-large sized wedding with 150 guests. The spaces were perfect to accomodate our crew: from the ceremony on the lawn to the reception under the tent. The tented reception was complete with space for our 6-member band and dance floor. We also got super lucky with weather (it was pretty perfect) but even in the rain it would have been gorgeous)! Food was great, drinks were great, and the staff above all were so kind, attentive, and organized.
A note for our coordinator, Laura. Since I did not use a personal event planner, I was so lucky to have Laura be our Sales Director for the event. Laura is both organized and flexible and was able to accomodate even our quirkiest of requests. Many thanks to Laura and the Fireside Catering team!!! -

We loved the Fruitlands museum as our wedding venue. The view, space and staff were all amazing! Our wedding coordinator was the sweetest and most helpful. The space was wonderful and we were allowed to add many of our own personal touches without taking away from the beauty of the venue. Highly recommend! -

Perfect place
I loved getting married here! Tim made everything so easy and comfortable that i was so calm the day of my wedding - and leading up to it. The staff was AMAZING, we had one woman who catered to our every needs bringing us drinks, making sure we got all our appetizers at cocktail hour, and even brought my husband extra bacon and pork belly croutons just because we mentioned how delicious it was and how much he likes bacon. I do not remember her name but i hope she knows that she was amazing. Our craft cocktails were a hit - everyone kept talking about how awesome they were even though i just sent ingredients to Tim, they really nailed it. You can hear Devens in the background a little (gun shots) but it did not bother us one bit! The view is amazing and i just can't say enough wonderful things about Fruitlands. -

Spectacular!
This venue was amazing for the view, the rain plan (which we ended up using!), the food, and the service. Could not recommend more! -

Marina Sent on 01/07/2020Beautiful venue with great staff
We had a beautiful wedding at Fruitlands. A few highlights...
- The location is beautiful - no holds barred. We got lucky and had perfect weather, but also felt that the rain option was significantly better than other outside venues (if it rains, you are under the tent but still have a beautiful view of the valley).
- Tim was great to work with leading up to the venue, super responsive and no detail was too small to follow up on. It made the planning process really pleasant and ensured the day itself went off without a hitch.
- The food was great! All of our guests commented on how good it was, which is an accomplishment since we all know wedding food is not always amazing.
- A lot of nice little touches - the bridal attendant was wonderful and such a nice idea. None of our vendors had any issues setting up (that we know of!) I really loved the inside rooms where the gifts/photos were set up, the dessert was set up, and the side room we used for the ketubah.
In summary - a beautiful venue that has the right balance of professional support and structure but still allows you creativity to make it your day. Highly recommend! -

Amazing - highly recommend
We got married at Fruitlands Museum on Sunday of Labor Day weekend this year and could not be happier with the venue!
We worked with Tim Holmes and he was so incredibly receptive and responsive to us throughout the whole process - answering emails promptly, taking time to sit down with us in person to review the day, and being flexible with last minute guest / seat changes for our wedding! He was so wonderful to work with, reliable and professional.
The food (Fireside Catering) was absolutely delicious! I may be biased, but it was by far the best food I've had at a wedding, and we got a lot of compliments from our guests as well.
The venue itself was absolutely exceptional! The views were stunning, and the staff was so helpful throughout the night. They made a point to make sure that my husband and I got a separate plate of appetizers (which we were otherwise too busy with photographs & socializing to get any during the cocktail hour) and packaged up desserts for us to go! (we also missed those - too busy having a blast on the dance floor).
We HIGHLY recommend Fruitlands to anyone who is looking to get married in the area, we had the best experience and are so grateful that the whole staff there made it so wonderful for us. -

Emily Sent on 10/26/2018Amazing and stress-free experience
I cannot thank Tim and his team enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. Tim was so helpful in responsive through the planning process and his team executed a flawless night. I was not stressed about a thing during planning and the night of because they took care of every little detail and I just got to enjoy myself and focus on the fun stuff! The food was amazing, everyone raved that it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding. And the setting was gorgeous, it is such a beautiful spot with amazing views for photos. Could not have been happier with our decision to get married here! -

Fruitlands Museum is a very special venue :)
Fruitlands museum is the best place to have your wedding! We fell in love with this venue from the moment we set foot on the property. The setting is absolutely breathtaking. The indoor space and outdoor space are equally as beautiful. We ended up having our wedding under the tent due to rain, and it went off without a hitch! The guests had no idea it was supposed to be outside. The food is outstanding as well as the service, and our guests are still talking about the Lobster rolls. Tim and his staff's attention to detail made me feel at ease on my wedding day. He is wonderful to work with and responsive and accommodating down to every last detail. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding day at Fruitlands! Fruitlands is truly a special place :) -

Natalie Sent on 02/12/2018We got married here October of 2017, and had a great experience from beginning to end! My husband and I live in TX, so we toured all our potential venues in the same week on a visit. Fruitlands stood out right away, from the beauty (that view!), the practicality (the tent is always up! And it’s heated!) and the professionalism and skill that Tim Holmes and the staff of Fruitlands and Fireside Catering operated with. We had a million questions through the planning process, and Tim was always quick to get back to us with answers. He was organized, calm, upfront with costs, helpful, and overall a very pleasant and cheerful person to work with. The value of what you get at Fruitlands far exceeds most venues in the area. You don’t have to worry about renting chairs or linens, or other equipment, it’s all there. They food is amazing, from the appetizers (they bring you some after the ceremony while you’re taking pics btw so you DO get to enjoy them), to plates of veggies, dips and cheese, to the entrees. We also had two signature cocktails, and the guests loved them. They encourage you to go with some bakeries they have a relationship with, we went with the Bean Counter and it was a delicious and also artfully decorated cake. People told us it was the best wedding cake they had ever had! We also made our own centerpieces, and decor, and dropped things off in advance, and the staff was very skillful in setting everything up. Even though we were planning a wedding from 2,000 miles away, it was as easy as if we were down the street. I cannot recommend Fruitlands enough!

Maley Sent on 10/01/2017We were absolutely blown away by our experience at Fruitlands. The venue was not only stunning, but the staff (especially Tim), service, food, and ambiance were more than we ever could have hoped for.
Tim, the wedding coordinator at Fruitlands is excellent at his job! He is so easy-going and made us feel relaxed throughout the entire process. We knew we could ask him any questions, and he also helped us figure out a lot of other wedding-related details (how to communicate with a non-responsive vendor, how to deal with complicated family situations at the reception) and I really felt like he wanted our day to be as perfect as possible. He is incredibly professional and his staff LOVE working with him and at the Fruitlands--I think that says a lot. When he left the reception I also felt like we were in good hands with his banquet staff, and they catered to us the entire night. It really made us feel special and like we didn't have to worry about anything.
I recommend Fruitlands 100 times over. I feel so lucky that we found it and I wish we could have our wedding day again and again! -
