The Stevens Estate at Osgood Hill

I would strongly encourage anyone who is planning a wedding to put the Stevens Estate in North Andover, MA at the top of the list for site visits.

We held my daughter’s wedding reception there this past weekend and I couldn’t be happier with virtually every aspect of it – especially Joanna Ouellette, the director of the facility.

We first discovered the Stevens Estate in early July – just hours after learning that Massachusetts State Pandemic restrictions had understandably forced the cancellation of our planned indoor reception at another venue.

Within just a few days, Joanna put all of our concerns at ease and began planning the perfect outdoor reception.

Little did we know at the time, that additional restrictions would be imposed less than two weeks before the wedding but once again, Joanna rose to the occasion and worked with us to adapt and overcome.

I could write pages on the seemingly endless amount of phone calls but the important thing to know is whenever we called – regardless of the day or time – Joanna answered in a calming voice that told me everything would be ok.
When the day came, everything was set up perfectly under a beautiful tent, with chandeliers and meticulously set tables – surrounded by ample, well-manicured lawns and gardens in the shadow of the magnificent Stevens Estate.

Joanna also connected us with Two Chefs Are Better than One Catering – one of a handful of in-house caterers that works with the Stevens Estate and the food was absolutely fabulous. Like Joanna, the team at Two Chefs was extremely flexible and accommodating despite all the changing rules and regulations.
If you were a guest at this wedding, you would think that it had been carefully
planned for more than a year – not just a few weeks, although I can’t imagine things being any better even if we had planned a wedding there under normal circumstances.

So if you are one of the many families struggling right now to plan a wedding during these difficult times I would strongly encourage you to call Joanna now.
