    Classy Farm Feel For Your Wedding

    Connemara House Farm was the perfect wedding venue for my husband and I! Growing up in Central MA (or apple country as some of us call it), I wanted to have our reception in an apple orchard. None of the orchards in the area were able to spare a Saturday during peak picking season, and finding Connemara was the greatest turn of events. The coordinator Gina is the absolute best. She thinks of everything and is readily available through the entire planning process to answer questions. Our day-of coordinators were very helpful as well. The tent is gorgeous and really gives your wedding a classy farm feel with a fun twist. We also had our guests go apple picking between the ceremony and the reception while the bridal party took photos, and everybody LOVED it!! Thank you so much to the Connemara team for making our wedding day so special.

    Dream Venue

    Our wedding at Connemara House was a dream. The staff is incredibly helpful and on top of everything. The venue itself is everything (and more) I dreamed of since I was a little girl.
    Unfortunately our wedding day was a bit rainy but they made the tent look so beautiful- I was in “awe” when I saw it.
    I highly recommend having your special day at The Connemara House!

    Connemara House's reply:

    Thank you Paige for taking the time to write us a heartfelt review and your kind words. We loved working with you and Adam, and I just saw your video, can I say you two are truly in love 😍. It's couples like you that make us special, as you put your own touches to customize your wedding day! Enjoy the married life, and comeback to visit for apple picking season!

    Excellent wedding venue!

    We had our wedding at Connemara House in October and couldn’t have been happier with our experience! The grounds are beautiful and were landscaped to perfection on our day! My guests couldn’t believe how beautiful the tent was! Gina went above and beyond to make sure our day was a dream come true! It was a truly stress-free day and experience because of Connemara and their staff. My husband and I would highly recommend Connemara to anyone getting married!

    Connemara House's reply:

    Thank you Abbie for the warmhearted words. It was a true pleasure working with you and Matthew on your special day. I love that you said husband, wish you both a wonderful marriage.

    Perfect venue

    We LOVED having our wedding at CHF. Staff were easy to work with and the location was beautiful. Our guests have been raving about how beautiful the venue was.
    Gina and Lauren were very helpful with decision making and provided great guidance along the way.
    I hope to be invited back as a guest at a future wedding !

    Beautiful Outdoor Venue

    When my husband and I got engaged and began looking at local outdoor venues, Connemara Farm immediately became our top choice. We fell in love with the beautiful orchards, amazing sperry tent, and sweet estate. We knew it was the perfect place to host our wedding weekend! We worked closely with Gina, the events manager, as we planned for our big weekend. We held our outdoor ceremony, reception, and thank you brunch at the Farm and it all turned out so perfectly! Additionally, we rented out the estate for the bridal party to get ready and for our immediate families to stay after our reception. It was so great to have everything all in one place for our bridal party and families. Gina and Rebecca, our day of coordinator, worked with us and all of our vendors to be sure the day went off without a hitch. We cannot recommend Connemara Farm enough for any couples looking for the perfect outdoor space for their wedding!

    The BEST Wedding Venue & Team!

    Hi there! My husband and I got married back in September 2022 and had our wedding reception at the lovely and beautiful Connemara House Farm. To say that I highly recommend choosing Connemara as your venue is an understatement. Not only are you getting a gorgeous venue (seriously, go visit - even the pictures don't do it justice), you will be working with experts all throughout the process. Gina and her staff are exemplars of professionalism, friendliness, and dependability. I knew the moment that I met Gina, I could trust her completely to carry out our vision for our wedding day. She and her staff exceeded every expectation that I had. I literally had zero stress the day of, because they handled absolutely everything.

    Wedding planning can be...overwhelming, to say the least. But when you choose Connemara, you will be given valuable tips and recommendations throughout the process. Gina will even follow up with your other vendors to make sure everyone is on the same page and ready the day of. My favorite aspect about choosing this venue is that you can get as involved as you want. I was able to collaborate with Gina on various aspects, and customize so many aspects of the day that other vendors wouldn't typically allow (i.e. bringing a lot of our own decor, using cookies as favors made by a family member, and doing a lot of the drop off and pick up ourselves).

    You won't regret choosing Connemara!

    Connemara House's reply:

    Thank you Monica,
    It was a beautiful wedding! I loved all the little extra details that you added, it really came together so nicely. Connemara House was perfect for you both you and John. The antique car was a nice touch, one of my favorite. Both you and John and your families were wonderful to work with. I only wish that you can get married again so we can do it again! Thank you for sharing.

    Picture Perfect Wedding!

    We just had our wedding at Connemara House in July 2022 and it was an absolute dream! We went and visited the venue the prior May after a friend recommended it from previously going to a wedding here. The day we visited the property it was raining and was still early in the season so not everything was set the way it would be for a big event, but we fell in love immediately. We decided to book the venue with the house option for Saturday night so that our immediate families could all stay together the night of the wedding (my husband and I stayed in the cute suite in a separate building) and then were able to host a casual brunch the next morning. We worked with Gina leading up to our wedding and she was there all weekend with us. She was so on top of everything while somehow remaining to stay in the background, we are so grateful to her and her team for all the work they put in to make our day so special. I also loved that we were able to get ready at the venue, have our ceremony, reception, and brunch all there.

    Vendor Perspective: Dream Venue!

    As a wedding planner, I work with venues all over New England who vary in price, aesthetic and rental offerings. I can truly say that Connemara House Farm is one of my top venues to work at in the North Shore area! Not only is the location stunning, but it is convenient to Boston & Newburyport for guest accommodations/weekend activities, and the staff is beyond accommodating. I thought it would be helpful to provide a vendor point of view, as myself and fellow vendors (Caterer, Florist, DJ, etc.) cannot stop talking about how easy it is to work at this space. Deborah and her team have thought of every part of the day; from an onsite restroom trailer, catering tent, gorgeous sailcloth reception tent, tables & chairs, lighting and beautifully landscaped grounds, your planning process will be a breeze and your guests will have an amazing experience! HIGHLY recommend!!

    A Childhood Dream

    Having grown up down the street and at the Connemara House Farm, it was always my dream to have a backyard wedding. When the Connemara House became a Wedding Venue, I realized it was possible for that dream to come true. As someone who has worked in the orchard, on the farm stand and around the house setting up for weddings, it was truly magical to be on the other side of things.
    Although I may be biased, I cannot picture a more beautiful or incredible place to celebrate a wedding or any event. While I have heard many complimentary things about Gina and enjoyed getting to know her, she really knows how to ensure that a wedding happens flawlessly. She made sure every problem had a contingency plan, that the timeline was flawless and even listened to what it was that I wanted, even when it didn't quite seem possible.
    I could not be happier or more thankful to the Connemara House team and all they did to make sure we had the most magical day!

    Perfect Day

    We recently had our wedding at the Connemara House Farm and could not rate this place higher.
    The venue is stunning from the high quality sperry tent to the apple trees to the dance floor, not to mention the wonderfully accommodating staff. After the pandemic canceled our first wedding, we were struggling to find a new venue while salvaging what we could from the first plan. Deborah was amazing from start to finish. She took the time to answer every question thoroughly, assured us with every decision and quickly became someone we could trust despite all the uncertainty of last year. Our wedding went off without a hitch! Our guests raved about the venue, land , bridal/groom suites and yard games. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to get married at Connemara House Farm!

    Amazing experience at Connemara!

    We had the most amazing experience having our wedding at Connemara! Due to Covid guidelines changing, we had to change our venue 3 times and finally with the help of our wedding planner we found Connemara only a month or so before our actual date! It was completely perfect and they went above and beyond to make sure our wedding could happen even under a tight time crunch. They even put up the tent a month early to accommodate us. We ended up having a crazy weather day (it snowed the day before our wedding), meaning we had to move our ceremony around within the venue. The staff at Connemara was super accommodating and took care of everything so we had no stress at all. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the tent is a perfect size too. Having access to the house for the bridal party was so convenient and the bridal suite is a perfect place to take portrait photos. We really loved everything about our experience at Connemara - I think that it is totally a hidden gem right now but with how amazing the grounds and staff are I am sure it will book fast! Thanks Deb and the entire staff for making our wedding stress-free and amazing!

    Perfect wedding venue!

    The Connemara House was nothing short of perfect for our wedding day. Deborah and her team made the difference and helped create our dream wedding. The historic home and apple orchard backdrop makes this a perfect New England wedding venue!

    Beautiful location and excellent vendor experience!

    First and foremost you will be hard-pressed to find a more amazing venue than what Deborah and her team have put together at Connemara House Farm. The apple orchard, the gorgeous white tent, and the historic home all come together to create the most romantic venue for a perfect wedding day. The whole venue is well-thought-out to provide a smooth and picturesque day for you and all your guests.

    Not only is the property a dream, but working with Deborah was the difference-maker in choosing Connemara over other venues. Deborah was incredibly responsive and managed every detail with confidence and poise. She was accommodating, knowledgeable, and prepared--all the things you want out of your day-of coordinator and vendor. She let me be the bride, and she took care of the rest!

    I highly recommend!

    Connemara House

    Our daughter had her wedding reception at the Connemara House on August 25, 2019. The 35 acre apple orchard with ponds and gently rolling hills was beautiful. Apples and peaches graced the trees and the landscape was perfect for pictures which are unbelievable! The reception tent was exceptional and had brand new floor and a perfect dance floor. The bride and groom drove in on a antique tractor! This is the perfect venue for a wedding!

    Wonderful Guest Experience

    I just attended a wedding reception at the Connemara House Farm and it was absolutely stunning! There were separate outdoor spaces for the cocktail reception, main reception, parking, and restrooms. The cocktail reception was in the rear garden with beautiful views of the apple orchard. The crowd was then moved over to the tent towards the front of the house for the main reception. It was nice to break up the events and have changes in scenery. Plus it was gorgeous for pictures any time of day or night!

    Amazing venue - family run

    We had our wedding reception at Connemara House Farm last August and could not have asked for a more kind and accommodating group to host our special day! They were very responsive to all our needs and requests leading up to our wedding day and when we were blessed with pouring rain they rapidly adjusted the plan for our outdoor reception. We were able to take pictures outside during a brief reprieve from the rain and the gorgeous apple orchards made for a wonderful back drop. Additionally we were able to make use of the stunning traditional New England farmhouse for many of our formal pictures as the rain was too vigorous at that time. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a new beautiful outdoor game venue !

    An absolutely spectacular wedding!

    We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Connemara House! My spouse and I did a lot of research into venues in the New England area and toured a handful of these venues and found that the Connemara House was by far the prettiest within our price range. The inside and outside of the house are beautiful, the grounds were very picturesque, especially at sunset, and the tent was extremely pretty, particularly with the bistro lighting that they provided and our centerpiece candles after dusk. The Connemara house was also accommodating to a few unique requests we had (ice cream truck, late-night boozy popsicles), which were very popular. Gina helped the event run smooth and provided some great suggestions for the wedding day throughout our planning process. We were hoping that the hydrangeas around the tent would be blooming by our wedding day, but we were a week or two too early. We wish we could relive the event!

    Most magical day!

    We had the most amazing wedding day in May of 2021 at this beautiful venue. The grounds are just gorgeous, and the historic, beautiful home in the back of some our photos adds the most gorgeous touch. And of course the tent reception was just perfect! Highly recommend.
