An absolute dream!

We had our wedding at Connemara on 9/20/24 and it was an absolute dream! The venue is gorgeous and everything my husband and I could have wanted. Gina and Emily were amazing to work with and kept everything running so smoothly, organized, and on time. Nine months later and I'm still reminiscing about how wonderful the day was, and what a great time we had. It really was the best day ever. All of our guests raved about the venue, it was just a perfect day. Thank you, Connemara!!

Incredible Location

Connemara House was an absolutely incredible location for our wedding. The flowers on the property were beautiful, the tent was amazing and Gina made our event flow so smoothly. Don't let the weather deter you from booking this location. Our wedding day was insanely hot, but with the fans going everyone had an amazing time and danced the night away. We had freeze pops for guests to help cool them off and unexpectedly frozen towels were handed out to the guests (which were a huge hit!) Gina and our day-of coordinator, Amanda, made sure the guests were comfortable the entire night and we cannot thank them enough.

Dream Venue

Our wedding at Connemara House was a dream. The staff is incredibly helpful and on top of everything. The venue itself is everything (and more) I dreamed of since I was a little girl.
Unfortunately our wedding day was a bit rainy but they made the tent look so beautiful- I was in “awe” when I saw it.
I highly recommend having your special day at The Connemara House!

Classy Farm Feel For Your Wedding

Connemara House Farm was the perfect wedding venue for my husband and I! Growing up in Central MA (or apple country as some of us call it), I wanted to have our reception in an apple orchard. None of the orchards in the area were able to spare a Saturday during peak picking season, and finding Connemara was the greatest turn of events. The coordinator Gina is the absolute best. She thinks of everything and is readily available through the entire planning process to answer questions. Our day-of coordinators were very helpful as well. The tent is gorgeous and really gives your wedding a classy farm feel with a fun twist. We also had our guests go apple picking between the ceremony and the reception while the bridal party took photos, and everybody LOVED it!! Thank you so much to the Connemara team for making our wedding day so special.

The BEST Wedding Venue & Team!

Hi there! My husband and I got married back in September 2022 and had our wedding reception at the lovely and beautiful Connemara House Farm. To say that I highly recommend choosing Connemara as your venue is an understatement. Not only are you getting a gorgeous venue (seriously, go visit - even the pictures don't do it justice), you will be working with experts all throughout the process. Gina and her staff are exemplars of professionalism, friendliness, and dependability. I knew the moment that I met Gina, I could trust her completely to carry out our vision for our wedding day. She and her staff exceeded every expectation that I had. I literally had zero stress the day of, because they handled absolutely everything.

Wedding planning can be...overwhelming, to say the least. But when you choose Connemara, you will be given valuable tips and recommendations throughout the process. Gina will even follow up with your other vendors to make sure everyone is on the same page and ready the day of. My favorite aspect about choosing this venue is that you can get as involved as you want. I was able to collaborate with Gina on various aspects, and customize so many aspects of the day that other vendors wouldn't typically allow (i.e. bringing a lot of our own decor, using cookies as favors made by a family member, and doing a lot of the drop off and pick up ourselves).

You won't regret choosing Connemara!

Excellent wedding venue!

We had our wedding at Connemara House in October and couldn’t have been happier with our experience! The grounds are beautiful and were landscaped to perfection on our day! My guests couldn’t believe how beautiful the tent was! Gina went above and beyond to make sure our day was a dream come true! It was a truly stress-free day and experience because of Connemara and their staff. My husband and I would highly recommend Connemara to anyone getting married!

Perfect venue

We LOVED having our wedding at CHF. Staff were easy to work with and the location was beautiful. Our guests have been raving about how beautiful the venue was.
Gina and Lauren were very helpful with decision making and provided great guidance along the way.
I hope to be invited back as a guest at a future wedding !

Beautiful Outdoor Venue

When my husband and I got engaged and began looking at local outdoor venues, Connemara Farm immediately became our top choice. We fell in love with the beautiful orchards, amazing sperry tent, and sweet estate. We knew it was the perfect place to host our wedding weekend! We worked closely with Gina, the events manager, as we planned for our big weekend. We held our outdoor ceremony, reception, and thank you brunch at the Farm and it all turned out so perfectly! Additionally, we rented out the estate for the bridal party to get ready and for our immediate families to stay after our reception. It was so great to have everything all in one place for our bridal party and families. Gina and Rebecca, our day of coordinator, worked with us and all of our vendors to be sure the day went off without a hitch. We cannot recommend Connemara Farm enough for any couples looking for the perfect outdoor space for their wedding!

Picture Perfect Wedding!

We just had our wedding at Connemara House in July 2022 and it was an absolute dream! We went and visited the venue the prior May after a friend recommended it from previously going to a wedding here. The day we visited the property it was raining and was still early in the season so not everything was set the way it would be for a big event, but we fell in love immediately. We decided to book the venue with the house option for Saturday night so that our immediate families could all stay together the night of the wedding (my husband and I stayed in the cute suite in a separate building) and then were able to host a casual brunch the next morning. We worked with Gina leading up to our wedding and she was there all weekend with us. She was so on top of everything while somehow remaining to stay in the background, we are so grateful to her and her team for all the work they put in to make our day so special. I also loved that we were able to get ready at the venue, have our ceremony, reception, and brunch all there.

A Childhood Dream

Having grown up down the street and at the Connemara House Farm, it was always my dream to have a backyard wedding. When the Connemara House became a Wedding Venue, I realized it was possible for that dream to come true. As someone who has worked in the orchard, on the farm stand and around the house setting up for weddings, it was truly magical to be on the other side of things.
Although I may be biased, I cannot picture a more beautiful or incredible place to celebrate a wedding or any event. While I have heard many complimentary things about Gina and enjoyed getting to know her, she really knows how to ensure that a wedding happens flawlessly. She made sure every problem had a contingency plan, that the timeline was flawless and even listened to what it was that I wanted, even when it didn't quite seem possible.
I could not be happier or more thankful to the Connemara House team and all they did to make sure we had the most magical day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
