    Amelia is our coordinator from the garden, and she is absolutely professional. The day was way beyond our expectation. So glad that I chose this venue!

    Wedding venue of my dreams

    NEBG is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen/been to. There are multiple locations with gorgeous backdrops to have photos done and all my guests loved the scenery. They work exclusively with Peppers catering which served the BEST food I have ever had at a wedding. The entire staff at NEBG was wonderful and attentive. Amelia specifically went above and beyond as coordinator to make sure our day was perfect, and it was! She is detail oriented, professional, works very closely with your vendors, and just really great at what she does! I HIGHLY recommend this amazing venue for engaged couples.

    We loved our wedding day NEBG at Tower Hill

    We cannot speak more highly of our experience at Tower Hill. The group was organized and systematic in preparation, and no stone was left unturned, no question uncovered leading up to the wedding day so that the day itself went as smooth as we could have imagined. We had a late August wedding and the gardens were magnificent. We had our ceremony in the Secret Garden, cocktail hour in the Winter Garden, and reception in the Orangerie. Our guests continue to remark on how much they loved their experience at the venue.

    The Perfect Wedding

    When I first saw the pictures of Tower Hill, I knew I wanted to see it in person. When we toured, it was what i had hoped for, intimate, beautiful, romantic and our of a story. The whole experience has been great. We had our wedding planner change a couple of months before the wedding and Amelia made the whole process seamless. She was responsive, attention and gave great feedback based on her experience. Peppers was awesome as well. The staff their went above and beyond to help my son feel comfortable during the reception. He had spilled his drink and they talked with him, included him in the clean up and he felt better about the whole thing. Our wedding was perfect, sad that it is over and look forward to coming back for a vow renewal down the road!

    Nebg is amazing!

    We had an unforgettable wedding day that would not have been possible without the efforts of Amelia and the NEBG staff! Wedding planning can be a stressful time, but Amelia was always available for questions and to alleviate our concerns. We are so happy with how the whole process went, and we recommend anyone interested to reach out and take a tour! We'd also love to shout-out the amazing work by the catering company, Peppers, and their event designer Natalia.

    Beautiful Venue, Even Better Planners!

    NEBG at Tower Hill is truly a hidden gem in the Greater Boston area. If being surrounded by unique flowers, foliage, and glass conservatories is at all important to you -- then this is your dream wedding venue. Seriously, go see this venue in person. It will blow you away the moment you step onto the grounds.

    While I could go on and on about how gorgeous NEBG is, what really makes this venue a winner is the staff. In particular, the wonderful Meagan Wyson. Before even signing a contract for our wedding here, Meagan exchanged 47 (yes, FORTY SEVEN) emails with me answering every single question about intimate vs. garden weddings, daytime vs. evening weddings, their inclusive catering, photography, pricing, potential dates, the best time of the year to get married -- literally *everything*. Not ONCE has she ever expressed anything but extreme kindness, care, and consideration with my fiancé and me. Without a doubt, Meagan Wyson will excitedly ensure that you have an amazing wedding day. Ask her about the flickr photos featuring every wedding from NEBG, they'll blow your mind.

    Speaking of photos, I can tell you firsthand that your wedding photography will be perfect. My fiancé and I ran into a couple doing their engagement photos at the venue during our first tour, and their photographer (who we had just met) told us we should absolutely have our wedding there. In her words, NEBG was even more beautiful than the Arnold Arboretum. Particularly because every photo we could ever want for our wedding is within close close walking distance at NEBG (unlike the Arboretum).

    And if this past season has highlighted anything - you never know what could happen with the weather! Fortunately, the indoor options at NEBG are GORGEOUS, my fiancé and I debated having our ceremony inside the greenhouse regardless of rain or shine because we love the vibe so much.

    In sum, I have not seen a single more beautiful venue that has everything you'd need during all of our tours around New England. Get married here!

    Wedding 5/10/24

    I cannot say enough nice things about NEBG! My husband and I had such a smooth experience with the NEBG staff both leading up to the wedding (shoutout to Meagan and Amelia!) and on the day of (shoutout to Nicole and Charlotte!). The secret garden was the most beautiful location for our ceremony and we could not be happier with our experience! We highly recommend to everyone that they consider NEBG for their weddings.

    Amazing Service at a beautiful Locale

    We can never say thank you enough to Amelia, Meagan and their team. Prior to wedding day, we had many calls and emails. She was always available to answers questions and attentive to our concerns to help us navigate them. Most of the wedding was planned while we were out of state and we never felt confused or out of place with the planning process because of how often we communicated. She was prompt with responses and available for calls if I needed. She was also flexible with her hours due to time differences. During rehearsal we went through a lot of details I never thought about and boy was that helpful. Come wedding day, everything run smoothly. Our family and I were in awe of the attention to details on our wedding day. We didn’t have to ask for anything because she or a member of her team was right there to make sure that we were taken care of. There was not one thing out of place. The order of events and set up was done exactly as we discussed through our many meetings. When I had issue with a different vendor, she handled it like a champ. I’m still amazed with her professionalism, her attention to details, and how much she put into making sure we got the day that we wanted. She’s truly amazing! Most of all, the venue is breathtaking. I felt we were surrounded in beautiful flowers, textures, and greenery. It smelled amazing in June. I couldn’t recommend NEBG and Amelia enough. Best decision we made.

    June 2024 Wedding

    We loved working with the New England Botanic Gardens team! When we were selecting wedding venues, we only had eyes for NEBG and didn’t tour any other venues. It would be easy to focus on how gorgeous the gardens are (which is 100% true because NEBG looks like a fairy tale) but part of what makes NEBG the perfect venue is the care that the events team puts into making each event feel special. Amelia (and previously Meagan) was so patient with us through our two year planning process and answered even the tiniest questions with grace. Leading up to the wedding, Amelia made sure everything ran smoothly and coordinated to make sure everyone had the information they needed. The day ran without any issues and it is definitely because of the work the NEBG team put into it!

    An absolute pleasure

    We had our elopement ceremony here in February and couldn’t have been more thrilled with nene at tower hill. We had the HARDEST time finding a place that would accommodate our under 10 person wedding and as soon as we found tower hill we knew this must be the place. From the start Meagan was an absolute pleasure to work with, responsive, professional, and answered all of our questions. The space was an absolute dream and we were lucky enough to have the ceremony during the orchid exhibit which elevated the space even further. In the day of, our two attendants Travis and Erin were incredible. Both had a quiet confidence about them that kept everyone involved calm and they made sure everything went off without a hitch. Our guests and photographer couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the space was and how unique it was to have it all to ourselves. We’re so happy we found this venue and that we can continue to visit and relive our day for years to come. Cannot recommend it enough, so so so thrilled that they offer elopement ceremony packages so we could have a dream venue within our budget!

    Could not recommend enough!!

    The New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill is absolutely stunning, and provided the most picturesque backdrop for our ceremony and reception. From the lush gardens to the charming architecture, every corner of the venue was picture-perfect. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting to exchange vows and celebrate with our loved ones. Having our wedding at the Garden was truly magical.

    Meagan and her team at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill deserve a special mention for their outstanding support and service. One of the things that stood out to us was Meagan's incredibly helpful wedding planning packet. It provided us with a comprehensive guide that not only assisted in making important decisions but also prompted us to consider details we hadn't even thought of. Meagan's attention to detail and thoughtful guidance ensured that no aspect of our day was overlooked. On the day of the rehearsal, there was a moment when our fathers, who were co-officiating the wedding, needed some additional support in finalizing the flow of the ceremony. Meagan stepped in seamlessly to offer guidance and support, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and confident in their roles. With her calm demeanor and expertise, she helped refine the ceremony's flow and made sure that everything ran smoothly. Her willingness to assist without hesitation truly exemplified her dedication to ensuring our day was perfect.

    Thank you, Meagan, and the entire team at Tower Hill, for an absolutely magical experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a breathtaking setting and exceptional service for their special day.

    Amazing Venue and Staff

    NEBG at Tower Hill was absolutely perfect for our wedding! The venue itself is stunning. Although we really lucked out and were able to have our ceremony and cocktail hour outside, we loved that there was a rain back up plan. The grounds were beautiful for our August wedding, and we loved that there are so many places to take photos. All of our guests raved about how beautiful it was, especially the winter garden for cocktail hour.

    Meagan, and her team, were amazing! They helped execute everything as I had hoped and were really easy to work with! Highly recommend NEBG at Tower Hill!

    Fairy Tale Wedding

    We knew we wanted a botanical garden wedding and New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill was the perfect venue for what we were looking for. Meagan and Carolyn (from Peppers) were both so easy to work with and was very attentive to our needs.

    We got so many compliments on how beautiful the wedding venue was and even with the rain, it was still a dream come true.

    I would highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a garden wedding!

    I might be Meagan Wyson's biggest fan!

    My husband and I were married at Tower Hill on 7/1/2023. We selected Tower Hill as our venue back in the fall of 2021. Off the bat, my husband was probably more sold on the venue than I was. It's pure, natural beauty and environmental education alone might sell you before you ever even meet the staff. I had never seen a wedding venue actually excite him. While we were there, Meagan Wyson made us feel comfortable because she was clearly very organized, patient, and accommodating. It was Meagan who ultimately sold me on Tower Hill. I am an extremely organized person myself, but Meagan's wedding spreadsheet that she will send you ~1 month before your wedding will have you thinking about details you never dreamed of. Which is great- because there were absolutely no wrinkles the day of our wedding. I didn't have to think about ANY detail the day of because Meagan and I already had. I truly felt like I was able to let go and enjoy the entire day to its full potential. Not to mention- Meagan and her assistants from Tower Hill were all extremely kind and sweet. Exactly what you want on your big day. If I could go back in time and live my life 1000x over again and money wasn't a factor I would ALWAYS choose this venue to have my wedding.

    If you see this- thank you again Meagan! You are an amazing and special person!!!

    Amazing experience at NEBG!

    We absolutely loved NEBG as a venue--it's stunning. All the spaces were gorgeous, and the staff all have a lot of experience hosting complicated events. Our wedding went smoothly thanks to them. Meagan was an amazing coordinator: professional, friendly, quick to respond, and just all around wonderful. We would recommend NEBG as a venue 100%!

    The Dream!!

    My Husband and I knew we wanted Tower Hill to be our venue from the moment we found out they host Weddings. Wanting a location that was beautiful all on its own, we knew it would be perfect! We worked with Meagan who was so helpful and communicative from first inquiry to post wedding! She was very responsive and pleasant to work with. The venue itself has a handful of beautiful ceremony locations as well as a stunning reception location. The gardens are absolutely breathtaking! Along with Meagan, we worked with Tower Hill's exclusive caterer, Peppers. Being a Gluten Free Bride I was a bit nervous to head my options for our big day but Peppers was more than accommodating and I did not miss out on any deliciousness!! This venue is so worth it. From the beautiful ceremony to perfect sunset photos, this venue was truly a dream come true.

    Absolutely Incredible

    Alejandro and I got married at Tower Hill August 6 of this year, and we are still on cloud nine about how perfect everything was. To say Meagan is an angel would be a vast understatement of how incredible her and her team are. She and her team worked so diligently not just during the wedding, but months following up making sure we had just what we wanted and made sure we had everything we needed. Tower Hill is undeniably beautiful, and there's a reason why it's nationally recognized as one of the best botanical gardens. I cannot recommend this venue enough, seriously I cannot put in to words how wonderful, magical, and simply perfect my wedding was and it was thanks to Meagan and the team at Tower Hill. Absolutely best day of our lives.

    Our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever seen!

    We searched all over the local states for the perfect place to have our wedding and could not be happier we picked NEBG at Tower Hill. Not only is the venue beautiful and classy, but it is truly unique. The ceremony and reception were magical and the cocktail hour in the courtyard was like a scene from a movie. All our guests were raving about how our wedding was the best they've been too and even our florist was impressed with the lovely flora on the grounds. Simply stunning!

    Meagan must be a mind reader as she understood what we wanted, when we wanted, and had such valuable experience that was invaluable for planning and managing our once in a lifetime event. She was definitely our favorite vendor to work with by far! Her team was great as well, but Meagan definitely earned the MVP award. Thank you so much!

    The Perfect Garden Wedding

    Meagan and her team at Tower Hill are absolutely incredible! My partner and I were more laissez faire when it came to wedding planning, but the NEBG and Peppers catering teams took our vision and brought it to life. We had a few thunderstorms leading to the big day, and although we had to move the ceremony from the secret garden to the greenhouse, they really maintained the atmosphere that we were looking for. Our families were raving about the venue the whole night. We were so, so happy with the experience!

    If you're looking for a unique, beautiful, and memorable venue - NEBG at Tower Hill is the one!

    We chose NEBG at Tower Hill for our July 2023 wedding and Meagan and the rest of the NEBG staff were simply amazing to work with. They were so responsive, organized, and you can really tell that they care about making your wedding as special and unique to you as possible. We never felt pressured to make any decisions we didn't want to, and they truly listened and catered to our visions and requests. We wanted a simple, minimal and care-free wedding and wanted a venue that would reflect that. With Tower Hill, you don't need any extra flowers, or over the top decor - the venue and space really speaks for itself. All of our guests raved about how beautiful it was! Thank you to Meagan Wyson our coordinator and the rest of the staff for all of their hard work :)

    Most magical wedding venue - DREAM COME TRUE!

    My husband and I grew up going to Tower Hill and have so many memories there with our respective families. Having our wedding there was so beautiful and we felt like it was something out of a fairy tale. The whole botanic garden closed and was all just for us and our guests. Meagan and her team were so compassionate, professional, and made everything so smooth. Even with the rain, it was a perfect day and perfect venue!

    Enchanting Venue for Our Happily Ever After

    Tower Hill was the first and only venue we toured for our wedding! We immediately fell in love with all of the unique spaces for the different parts of the day. Having options for the ceremony - including a beautiful rain plan - was important to us, and the cocktail hour and reception spaces are so unique and memorable. After meeting Tower Hill coordinator, Meagan, saying "yes" was easy. Meagan was so quick to reply to our questions throughout the planning process and was detail-oriented and professional in working with us on the logistics. This meant we felt 100% confident everything was going to be perfect and made the wedding day stress free! Our guests marveled at the space and how it felt they had been "transported" all while being an easy ride from Boston. We can't recommend it enough. Thank you, Meagan, and Tower Hill team for the best day of our lives!

    Incredible experience!

    From start to finish the whole team at Tower Hill and Peppers exceeded our expectations. Meagan, our wedding coordinator, was a dream to work with, she eased all of our worries and set us up for a perfect day. We still have guests complimenting our beautiful venue! Could not recommend this venue more!!

    A dream come true!

    We cannot say enough about the this venue. They have met and exceeded all of our expectations and have been a dream to work with. Our coordinator, Meagan, was everything we could have asked for as an event planner. If you’re looking for a responsive, organized, and beautiful garden venue in central MA - this is it!
