Beautiful Venue, Even Better Planners!

NEBG at Tower Hill is truly a hidden gem in the Greater Boston area. If being surrounded by unique flowers, foliage, and glass conservatories is at all important to you -- then this is your dream wedding venue. Seriously, go see this venue in person. It will blow you away the moment you step onto the grounds.

While I could go on and on about how gorgeous NEBG is, what really makes this venue a winner is the staff. In particular, the wonderful Meagan Wyson. Before even signing a contract for our wedding here, Meagan exchanged 47 (yes, FORTY SEVEN) emails with me answering every single question about intimate vs. garden weddings, daytime vs. evening weddings, their inclusive catering, photography, pricing, potential dates, the best time of the year to get married -- literally *everything*. Not ONCE has she ever expressed anything but extreme kindness, care, and consideration with my fiancé and me. Without a doubt, Meagan Wyson will excitedly ensure that you have an amazing wedding day. Ask her about the flickr photos featuring every wedding from NEBG, they'll blow your mind.

Speaking of photos, I can tell you firsthand that your wedding photography will be perfect. My fiancé and I ran into a couple doing their engagement photos at the venue during our first tour, and their photographer (who we had just met) told us we should absolutely have our wedding there. In her words, NEBG was even more beautiful than the Arnold Arboretum. Particularly because every photo we could ever want for our wedding is within close close walking distance at NEBG (unlike the Arboretum).

And if this past season has highlighted anything - you never know what could happen with the weather! Fortunately, the indoor options at NEBG are GORGEOUS, my fiancé and I debated having our ceremony inside the greenhouse regardless of rain or shine because we love the vibe so much.

In sum, I have not seen a single more beautiful venue that has everything you'd need during all of our tours around New England. Get married here!

An absolute pleasure

We had our elopement ceremony here in February and couldn’t have been more thrilled with nene at tower hill. We had the HARDEST time finding a place that would accommodate our under 10 person wedding and as soon as we found tower hill we knew this must be the place. From the start Meagan was an absolute pleasure to work with, responsive, professional, and answered all of our questions. The space was an absolute dream and we were lucky enough to have the ceremony during the orchid exhibit which elevated the space even further. In the day of, our two attendants Travis and Erin were incredible. Both had a quiet confidence about them that kept everyone involved calm and they made sure everything went off without a hitch. Our guests and photographer couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the space was and how unique it was to have it all to ourselves. We’re so happy we found this venue and that we can continue to visit and relive our day for years to come. Cannot recommend it enough, so so so thrilled that they offer elopement ceremony packages so we could have a dream venue within our budget!

Could not recommend enough!!

The New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill is absolutely stunning, and provided the most picturesque backdrop for our ceremony and reception. From the lush gardens to the charming architecture, every corner of the venue was picture-perfect. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting to exchange vows and celebrate with our loved ones. Having our wedding at the Garden was truly magical.

Meagan and her team at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill deserve a special mention for their outstanding support and service. One of the things that stood out to us was Meagan's incredibly helpful wedding planning packet. It provided us with a comprehensive guide that not only assisted in making important decisions but also prompted us to consider details we hadn't even thought of. Meagan's attention to detail and thoughtful guidance ensured that no aspect of our day was overlooked. On the day of the rehearsal, there was a moment when our fathers, who were co-officiating the wedding, needed some additional support in finalizing the flow of the ceremony. Meagan stepped in seamlessly to offer guidance and support, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and confident in their roles. With her calm demeanor and expertise, she helped refine the ceremony's flow and made sure that everything ran smoothly. Her willingness to assist without hesitation truly exemplified her dedication to ensuring our day was perfect.

Thank you, Meagan, and the entire team at Tower Hill, for an absolutely magical experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a breathtaking setting and exceptional service for their special day.
