An Oasis in Massachussetts. Connie Dunning and her group and the reception venue were out of this world. Exceeded our expectations.

Amazing!!! My husband and I have been talking about how smoothly everything went. The food was amazing, the room looked exactly as I had pictured it and the tiniest details were taken care of, down to the arrangement of the cranberry wreath centerpieces. Our coordinator, Matt, was awesome - easygoing, funny, and yet managed to keep everything running seamlessly on the day of the wedding. If there's a prettier or more reasonably priced venue in the greater Boston area, I haven't seen it.

I got married at Independence Harbor in Assonet on 3/16/07. My coordinators there (Matt and Maddie) were exceptional and I have nothing but good memories about my experience here. I got married in the worst snowstorm of the 2006-2007 season (basically the ONLY snowstorm we had that season!) and Matt and Maddie did a great job. I was completely calm the whole evening and I owe everything to them! The food came out hot and delicious. The guests were raving about the food! The ballroom was absolutely gorgeous and the fireplace was roaring. The chocolate fountain was a HUGE hit and the guest were raving about that as well. Other than starting a little late (because of the snow and the fact that I was late arriving) everything went off without a hitch. The best part of IH is that they are affordable. I had a gorgeous wedding for a fraction of the price I would have paid anywhere else in the Boston area. If you are considering IH you would not be disappointed with their quality of service.

Independence Harbor is an ideal place for a dream wedding! The 20 acre landscape is a stunning and meticulously cared for perennial and annual garden, with paths and gorgeous views of the beautiful Assonet River, where a white crane lives and practically poses for pictures! You couldn't ask for a more picturesque backdrop for your wedding photos! The Garden house/ reception hall is also beautiful and unique, with a stone fireplace, stained glass, lovely views of the gardens from every seat, and many more charming details! The people at I.H. were above and beyond! Although they set the stage for so many special events, they still manage to make everything special for you and treat you as sincerely as possible so that it truly is YOUR special day! It poured on our wedding day and they still found ways to help us get the right pictures in and escorted us with umbrellas when we needed them, and our pictures were still wonderful, thanks to their guidance. All of our guests had a fantastic time, and raved about the food (We suggest Buffet # 3!)! The visual details of the food display and the tastes were remarkable. A great value also, as they help with many aspects of planning and guiding as you make your plans. They use a very constructive reception questionnaire which really helps you visualize how you would like things to be. I would say the great management,personable service and setting are key to this venue. We highly recommend it!

I can’t say enough about the staff here! They were excellent – very accommodating, very pleasant, very helpful, VERY thorough. Maddie (the coordinator for the night) was just wonderful. She was so attentive and just in control of every single thing. We dropped everything off there the day before, and the staff set up EVERYTHING for us (centerpieces, favors, place cards, guestbook, etc). Oh, and the food was great :o) Independence Harbor’s prices are so reasonable! Definitely check it out if you’re still looking.

In the end we could not have been happier with how our wedding turned out. During the planning process there were a few times that Independence Harbor was a little difficult to work with. They will only allow the bridal party to get there an hour before the ceremony starts, so you can't do pictures before, you have to do them during your cocktail hour. The food ended up being great, which actually surprised me a little because I didn't think it was that good when we did the tasting. Honestly though, for the day of the event- it was perfect. The grounds are beautiful and everything ran so smoothly.

The food is excellent. We still have guests commenting on it.
Although the grounds, which are absolutely beautiful, held the initial appeal for us, the weather did not permit the outdoor ceremony for which we had hoped.
However, we were not disappointed with the indoor ceremony by the fireplace.
The interior design is classic and tasteful. Quality furniture, and traditional de'cor are complimented by the views of the grounds through the multi-pained windows lining both sides of the dining room.
We would definitely recommend this facility.
The quality of the food is well represented at the monthly brunch.
We went with the "Private Wedding Brunch", as our wedding was on a Sunday morning. The appetizers were great, everything offered during the buffet was delicious.

The Wedding Coordinator was a bit rude, other than that the place was beautiful and everything ran very smoothly. I kept the cost down by booking it on a Friday and off-season.

While the location is beautiful and the food was great, I had a problem with their lack of flexibility when it came to getting into the reception hall...they book 2 weddings (events) on a Saturday (afternoon and evening) so we couldnt get in until 6:30pm...it would have been fine if our ceremony wasnt at 3pm!! They only allowed us in because our Limo driver begged and probably bribed the banquet manager that night!!
