Our magical Moraine wedding

I am so glad that we decided to get married at The Estate at Moraine Farm. We visited this venue in the dead of winter, and even though the entire venue was covered in snow, we knew that this was the perfect place to get married. On top of the absolutely gorgeous venue, working with Fireside Catering makes the entire wedding process seamless and worry free. Our contact was Laura, and she answered every question we had and held our hand through every decision, every form, and every happy moment - we were so sad to say goodbye to her at the end of the night! On the day of our wedding itself, from the moment we arrived at Moraine, everything was so joyous. The entire staff, from the bartenders, to the attendants, to the wait staff and more all made our day an absolute dream. I want to give an extra big shoutout to our bridal attendant - when we forgot our cake at home, she helped my friends stall me while they drove home to get it! We felt like family with the team at Moraine, and I'd recommend getting married at this dreamy venue to anyone wanting a Boston-area wedding. Thank you again team!!

Best venue ever!

Laura and Fireside Catering made our wedding dreams come true! From the stunning venue to the amazing food, I cannot recommend the Estate at Moraine Farm enough. The three distinct spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception is really what sold the venue for me, along with the accommodating rain plan. The stunning teahouse, greenery and lake, along with the delicious wedding food were all the cherry on top! Laura was the best venue coordinator ever and I cannot say enough about how helpful she was while I navigated this process without a wedding planner.

Our guests complimented us non-stop on the beauty of the venue and the quality of the food. Great food was an important aspect of our wedding to me, and I cannot be happier with how everything came out with Fireside Catering.

We had a set budget and having our wedding at Moraine Farm was the best decision in terms of balancing finances and our vision for a gorgeous New England wedding.

If you love outdoor venues, amazing food, and romantic, garden vibes, have your wedding at Moraine Farm!!

If I could do it all again, I’d pick The Estate at Moraine Farm every time!

I can’t recommend the Estate at Moraine Farm and Fireside Catering enough. They went above and beyond in so many ways, especially when the weather forced a transition to the rain plan. Laura was responsive, honest, and kept us on track throughout the planning process and on the day of. She led her incredible team to set up two ceremonies (inside and outside), an indoor/outdoor cocktail hour, and then flip the tent space from our ceremony to our reception seamlessly. Despite the weather, our wedding was so beautiful and special, all thanks to the extra work and logistics coordination. The venue was still stunnnnning despite the rain. The cherry on top was the delicious food! Our guests were raving during and for weeks after the wedding about the food, and I hope I can go to another Fireside Catering event just to eat this meal again!

Overall, our experience was everything we could’ve hoped for and more, we can’t thank Laura and her staff enough for going above and beyond to ensure our day was the best it could be.

Sneaky the best venue in New England!!

The Estate at Moraine Farm is one of the most unique, versatile and flawless venues in New England. In a sea of rustic barns, coastal/beachy resorts, and grand historical mansions, it fits a niche I found rare in the northeast. Moraine Farm incorporates woods, gardens, and the serene view, but in a refined, intimate and understated way that was exactly what we needed to be grounded and calm on our day. It’s outdoorsy and elegant without feeling rustic or over-the-top, and the grounds offer the perfect spots for a first look, private vows, and wedding party photos. It is also extremely reasonable price-wise for the caliber of property and service that you receive.

Working with Laura and the Fireside Catering team was truly exceptional. Laura knows the property inside and out and you can tell she loves it. While she sometimes can be busy during the early planning stages, as your wedding approaches, you get her undivided attention, and her immense experience is evident. Laura’s guidance on timing was invaluable—she’ll help you balance your ideal schedule with real-life logistics so everything flows beautifully. Every dish we sampled at the tasting and had at the wedding, from mains to the cornbread (a personal favorite!), was absolutely delicious. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish—including having our personal attendant ready with drinks and hors d’oeuvres the moment we processed up the aisle after the ceremony. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the hors d’oeuvres, meals and the customizable cocktails we chose. The bar service was quick and efficient, and dinner was served at a perfect pace. We couldn’t recommend this venue and the Fireside Catering team more highly—it was the perfect fit for us, and our guests felt it too.

Moraine Farm is a DREAM and we are so thankful we stumbled upon it in our initial search! I seriously wish I could go to a wedding here every year to re-experience the perfection

A hidden gem!

Where do I even begin! The Estate at Moraine Farm was one of the last venues we visited and it was by far our favorite. The grounds are absolutely stunning and fall under every category. They have the old estate with its beautiful decor, the terrace that looks out over the water, the field with the old tea house, and a stunning garden. Endless photo opportunities! The food from Fireside Catering is absolutely delicious and they have tons of food options. One of the best parts of the venue is the coordinator Laura. She is a ray of sunshine and genuinely kept us from having multiple breakdowns. Laura is very organized and has a wealth of knowledge. She knows the venue very well which made making decisions very easy. Laura made planning our wedding so much easier and we feel so lucky to have had her as our coordinator!! While all Fireside Catering venues are wonderful, the Estate at Moraine Farm is a hidden gem and we couldn't recommend it enough!

Amazing venue north of Boston, simply the best!

This venue was amazing! Amy is the easiest most fun venue coordinator to work with and so personal. Immediately on meeting her she recalled a friends wedding by name that had happened over 3 years ago. Her attention to detail, knowing each of the vendors we used and making sure that everything we wanted was included was amazing. She’s the best to work with and her staff was so attentive. The whole day we couldn’t believe how friendly and helpful everyone was. The food was incredible and everyone loved everything they ate, cocktails, desserts and of course dinner. We got lucky and had a picturesque day but even visiting in December with the garden not in bloom we could tell it was an amazing place to take pictures and the nature view with the lake are gorgeous. We can’t recommend this place enough, we were so happy to have our wedding here.

Beautiful Outdoor Venue Close to Boston

We got married at Moraine in May 2021, and we could not have been happier with our venue. The landscape was absolutely gorgeous. The flower garden was a great backdrop for our photos, and the patio overlooking the lake was perfect for the cocktail hour. The tent was beautiful, and the bistro lights and stone floor made it feel very special. People appreciated being able to walk/dance on a solid floor while being outside. Amy, the venue's day of coordinator, was extremely helpful and responsive. Working with her was the highlight of our wedding planning. She worked with our vendors directly to make sure the whole day went off without a hitch. Finally, the food from Fireside Catering (which comes with the venue) was fantastic. Many of our guests came up to us afterwards to tell us that it was the best wedding meal they had every had. Overall, Moraine and Amy took care of everything and made our day extremely stress free (despite COVID uncertainty), but they also managed to make it very special and unique to us. We highly recommend having your wedding at Moraine.

Wedding Reception - 8/11/19

My wife and I had our wedding reception at Moraine Farm on 8/11/19. The venue was stunning, the food was excellent, and everything was executed perfectly, thanks to Amy Hudon, our wedding coordinator. She was not only essential on the day of, but helped us significantly throughout the entire planning process. Thanks again for everything!

Beautiful outdoor venue w/ excellent staff

We keep saying how we feel like we picked the absolute perfect venue. The setting was gorgeous. We even had to go with our rain plan for the ceremony and it felt so intimate under the tent and still felt like we were outdoors. Amy (the venue coordinator) was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. She even communicated with our vendors directly making everything go smoothly. This is the kind of venue where you really don't have to worry about anything come wedding day because they have already thought of everything and you can just sit back and enjoy the day. Highly recommend!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
