100% recommend. We are an out of town couple that had the History Center in mind for our wedding from the beginning because it is such a unique venue and also because of positive word-of-mouth. Even so, it far exceeded our expectations. We worked closely with Maura, who is so kind, knowledgeable, savvy, and fun. She is a PRO - it was so easy to communicate with her and she had incredible suggestions and solutions for the whole process. The months leading up to the wedding were easy for those aforementioned reasons. The whole team made the week of the wedding seamless, as well. Dropping off goods, cookies, place cards, etc was stress free. Everyone is professional and helpful, and they really have this whole wedding thing down to science. Most importantly - the wedding. It was a day that I will never forget. Everyone involved in the event was calm, kind, and FUN. Our reception was in the Great Hall and it looked glorious. I honestly can't find enough good words to describe - but my husband, family, and I are all so incredibly grateful.

I just wanted to thank you again so so much for everything you did for us. Everything was absolutely perfect and better than I could have ever imagined. The set up of the space was unbelievable and it know it wasn’t easy with a larger guest count, but it truly was perfect. We couldn’t have done any of this without you and I’m so glad we got to work with you. You always made us feel at ease and handled any situation thrown your way with grace and elegance (when I prob would have just started to scream lol). You are so good at what you do, anyone will be lucky to work with you!
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. You made our wedding an absolute dream! You’re the best!
