Absolute Dream wedding!

I cannot state how lovely our wedding was at the Turner Hill Mansion! From the quality of planning, to how absolutely INCREDIBLE Sonya is to work with to the absolute delicious food by the onsite catering company Vinwood caterers… I cannot say enough good things! Sonya made it a breeze to plan everything, details were incredible, and super understanding when on my part had a deposit mix up with the check. She helped me make a checklist with everything needed, timeline and details were all very thought out. If there were any hiccups throughout the day (which I don’t think there were) I didn’t need to worry they had it all handled and were in talks! We had a small wedding, only 35 in attendance and I love that you only pay for the people who rsvp two weeks ahead of time. We used their preferred vendor for DJ, AllStar weddings and their uplighting was a must for the venue. Definitely get a bus service, as there are next to no Ubers late at night when it is over. We used farm and son for the flowers and ability cannot state ENOUGH how incredible he made the day magical. He brought all the ceremony flowers from outside inside after for double use and made the whole venue feel like a jungle paradise! Thank you to everyone involved for making my dream a reality at such a beautiful estate🫶🏻

Amazing!! 5 Stars

This was the venue of our dreams!! Tara and Sonya were an absolute breeze to work with and helped make our wedding spectacular. From helping guests on the day of, to all the planning leading up to the big day, they were there to help. The venue itself is absolutely incredible. We were blessed with perfect weather and had our ceremony outside in the gardens, cocktail hour on the patio and dinner in the ballroom. We opted for the premium bar package and guests raved about having the passed cocktails. The mansion is full of so many interesting rooms and artifacts, we didn’t feel the need to add much.

Perfect location for our wedding

Josephine & the Vinwood staff at Turner Hill were great to work with. Our event went off without a hitch and it's all thanks to the professional staff. Our guests loved the mansion and the size of the venue with the multiple rooms was perfect for our 50 person wedding. I can't say enough good things about Turner Hill!

The wedding of my dreams!

When I got engaged I really wanted that "mansion" feel. I came across The Mansion on Turner Hill when looking for venues in the Boston area. This is the one and only venue that my fiance and I looked at. They were so accommodating and their prices blew everyone else out of the park! We were a pandemic wedding so we needed to postpone, luckily there was a spot open on May 30, 2021 and we took it.

Fast forward to the big day, it poured, and I mean the sky opened for at least 48 hours! I was bumming because the landscape at the mansion is gorgeous and I really wanted the ceremony to be help outside. But, we had to settle with being inside, and my god I am so happy we did! When you book your wedding at the mansion you get to use 7 of their absolutely stunning rooms. Everything was warm and cozy and just made for the most amazing experience.

We worked with Carol and she made us feel at ease and comfortable throughout the whole day. Weeks later and all of our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful our venue was. I can't recommend this place enough!

Incredible venue!!

Turner Hill was by far an amazing venue with an incredible support staff that made our wedding FLAWLESS! The gardens are incredible for the ceremony, and the mansion is very versatile and beautiful. My guests loved the charm of the venue and are still raving about our 'fairy tale' wedding! I've never been in a wedding party, let alone thrown a wedding of my own! So believe me I had about a million questions. Carol Travers was an impeccable resource and wonderful person to work with. She made the entire process easy, simple and fun! If your looking for an unforgettable venue with excellent staff that will go above and beyond, then Turner Hill is for you!

Turner Hill is magical

I recently got married at Turner Hill and it was a dream. Shopping around for venues I was looking at hotels, or banquet-style venues in Boston, and they all felt a little sterile. When we decided to look a little closer to home, we found Turner Hill and immediately knew that the mansion was the perfect place. Our guests LOVED it here and haven't stopped talking about it - especially the flow of the night since we had the ceremony in the garden, cocktails behind the mansion, dinner in the tent, and the party inside the mansion. You were never in one place for too long. Carol is very professional and clearly has a ton of experience hosting weddings here. I knew we were in good hands with her and never worried about anything all night.

The most magical venue!

This was the first venue we visited in our hunt and we fell in love with it instantly. We visited a few other venues in the north shore before we made our final decision, but nothing compared to the beauty of Turner Hill Mansion and its grounds. It truly is a magical space, full of history and character. Not to mention, the staff that comes with the mansion is top of the line. Carol, the event coordinator, is unbelievable! She is an expert and she made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of our wedding. We had a few meetings with her leading up to the wedding and she always had tons of great advice to share. We ended up going with a lot of her vendor recommendations (Lilac & Lily - florist, and Czone - DJ) and we were thrilled with the way everything turned out. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Turner Hill Mansion... it's the best venue all around and we had the most epic wedding ever!

Winter Wedding at Turner Hill

This past March, my husband I celebrated our wedding reception at the elegant and stately Turner Hill.

I cannot recommend the Mansion and Carol, the coordinator enough.

As part of your rental, you are able to access the entire first floor including a library, bridal suite, dining room, and more. If renting in the spring or summer you are also able to use an outdoor tented area.

Carol was incredibly helpful and detailed throughout the entire process and met with us twice before we made our decision since my now husband was out of the country during my first visit. Guests are still talking about the wedding, the flow, of the evening, and the incredible venue. They even light a fire in the library where the bar is!

If we could do it all again at the Mansion and with Carol, we would! Thank you, Carol, for making our special day so perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
