The Garden at Elm Bank

My now husband, Jon, and I were one of the many couples who were forced to postpone our July 2020 wedding for a year. As our July 2021 date was quickly approaching, the COVID restrictions in the city of Boston were not easing up, and our dream of a city wedding wasn’t looking promising. Jon reached out to multiple venues outside of Boston proper and to our luck, there was a last-minute opening on our date at the Gardens at Elm Bank. I was extremely hesitant to switch venues and re-plan our wedding in only 3 months, however, Jon convinced me to at least tour the Gardens at Elm Bank. Kayleigh and Lindsay were extremely accommodating and arranged for us to tour the property at a time that worked around our schedules. Our first visit to the Gardens at Elm Bank was on a cold, yucky, SNOWY April day. While the weather was terrible, the beauty of the property was still evident. And after meeting Kayleigh and Lindsay, there was no doubt that switching venues was the right decision. Kayleigh and Lindsay were extremely responsive, flexible and helpful. They accommodated our tight timeline and ensured that my parents, who live out of town, were involved with every step of the process. In addition to the impeccable service, is the property itself. It is wonderfully maintained and is absolutely breathtaking! With every visit, I fell more and more in love with the beauty of the gardens and the charm of the Hunnewell building. On the day of our wedding, the venue truly looked like a picture out of a magazine! The best part is, we didn’t have to spend a fortune on décor/add-ons because it is simply stunning as-is! The guests at the wedding could not stop raving about how beautiful the venue was! The space was a perfect mix of everything – from cocktail hour outside at the Italianate Garden, to dinner inside the Hunnewell building, and then dancing in the adjoined tent. Given the current state of the pandemic, our guests felt extremely comfortable because the space is large enough to comfortably spread out both in and outdoors. While we initially thought our dream wedding was in the city, Jon and I are now convinced, more than ever, that this was the luckiest thing that has ever happened to us (aside from meeting each other ) Thank you Kayleigh and Lindsay for giving us the wedding of our dreams! We could not recommend The Gardens at Elm Bank enough!
