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.

Fruitlands is amazing!
We loved everything about this venue, from the amazing views to the excellent staff. We were very fortunate to have Tim who was amazing throughout the whole process and helped us so much through the very beginning up until the wedding day. Tim and his team were very accommodating to all of our needs. I can truly say my wedding day was the best day of my life and I am so grateful I chose the Fruitlands!

Truly breathtaking.
Phenomenal chef. Cuisine that is special and beautiful and oh so tasty.
A fantastic choice for a couple who wants gorgeous photographic memories of their wedding day!
One of the most beautiful venues I've ever seen. Set atop a hillside overlooking the Nashua River Valley, Fruitlands Museum provides a breathtaking view and romantic setting for weddings and other events. The venue also includes a large permanent tent complete with chandeliers and removable sides. The caterer is wonderful as well.
