Highfields Golf & Country Club Reviews

We just got married in July at Highfields and I highly recommend! The price, the food and the rooms are great! If your a couple on a budget, this place is it! The bridal suite is big with a makeup area, bathroom, showers, couch, table, lockers. The groomsman room, they have a poker table, TV, lockers, showers and bathrooms.
The setting up was perfect. Annmarie is wonderful! She helps out so much and makes your day less stressful! She becomes family after talking with her for a year. I don't know what I would have done without her!
Everyone loved our wedding, with the simplicity, food was delicious, and a fun night on the dance floor. 💃

We had worked with Annmarie for more than three years prior to the wedding, and she was beyond great. We met every few months at first, then roughly every other month, then every month, and finally every other week. She requested the phone numbers and emails of all the vendors because she was constantly on top of things. She really did take care of everything! She would constantly check that we were prepared, asking us if we selected music, the color of the napkins, the sequence in which the bridal party would enter, the time that dinner and dessert would be served, and so on. Above all, she would make sure that everyone arrived on time. She checked to make sure we were on time and honestly that is not easy! We also had a bridal suite with the most delicious pastries and mimosas! I hope to book another event in the future and work alongside Annmarie again!

It was the best decision ever to have our wedding at Highfields! I apologize in advance for the lengthy review but it is only fair to go in depth with how lovely and excellent the planning and execution of our special day was at Highfields. The value that this venue offers is unmatched! All of the other venues that we toured had starting prices (or minimums) that were nearly 3 times of what we paid to have our wedding at Highfields, and we toured a large number of different venues all around Massachusetts. They add value to your event by offering packages that have many elements that will take your experience to the next level, like including a champagne toast for all your guests, linens in your color of choice, and more, along with the most dedicated wedding coordinator in the world, Ann Marie! She takes her job very seriously and you can tell right away that she is the the queen of making wedding dreams come true. She meets with you multiple times before your big day and gives you full reign to choose all the details that make your day special. She was so helpful in coordinating with our vendors when they should arrive and more, and she even provided our photographer with a tour of the venue prior to the day so they would be ready to deliver an amazing service. Everything about our day was planned and lead by Ann Marie down to each minute and the execution was beyond our expectations. The food at Highfields was phenomenal and they are very flexible about making last minute adjustments and accommodating any dietary restrictions. Not only was the service flawless, and the staff amazing, but the venue is one that offers an absolutely gorgeous view of the golf course and made for breath-taking photos. Another aspect that we really loved is the ability to have our rehearsal dinner on site in the Tavern. It made for a smooth sailing and uncomplicated rehearsal dinner with great food for our wedding party and parents. Highfields also does not have any hidden fees and they are very transparent and flexible in accepting payments in different forms. They don't tack on silly charges as many other venues do like a cake cutting fee, etc. Overall, there are really no improvements or enhancements that I could suggest to them as everything was planned and executed so flawlessly. The bottom line is that if you are in search of a venue that will deliver you with an amazing wedding day book your date at Highfields right away! You won't regret it!

We are so happy that we chose Highfields for our wedding reception. Everything was amazing. The food was incredible our guests still talk about how the food was so good. The staff are wonderful and so friendly. AnnMarie the event coordinator is incredible she is so talented and was with us at every step of the planning process and made sure our special day was amazing.

We couldn't be happier with how our wedding went at Highfields! Everything was truly perfect.

Ann Marie, the coordinator, was remarkable and is made for this job! She is professional, supportive, and very organized. She made sure every detail was triple checked and if she had a question, she made sure to ask to ensure everything was what we expected. The food was excellent. For apps, we had the veggie tray, cheese tray, and scallops wrapped in bacon. For our meal, we had either the Highfields Stuffed Chicken or New England Baked Haddock. They were very accommodating for food allergies/dietary restrictions such as gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, and dairy free.

We truly can't say enough wonderful things about this venue & staff. :)

Wedding Date 10/15/2021. From day one our experience was nothing but outstanding. We arrived at Highfields in panic mode because our original venue had announced its closing due to covid. We called and met with AnnMarie the day we found out of the closure. She immediately made us feel better and honestly in the end I am HAPPY our first venue closed its doors and that we were able to get married at Highfields. AnnMarie was spectacular to work with through the whole process and she took such great care of us the night of the wedding. We truly felt like royalty all night long. Our guests raved about the venue and food for weeks. Anthony, the bar manager, was also great to work with for our rehearsal dinner and everything was wonderful that evening too. I would recommend everyone get married here if I could. It was budget friendly but had the experience of a much larger budget! I highly recommend the lobster mac and cheese! Getting ready in the bridal suite was a dream come true. It was such a fun relaxing day and the guys absolutely loved their 18 holes of golf on the most beautiful October day. This venue seriously has it ALL!

We booked our wedding date 1 month before the world shut down. To say Highfields has been amazing through the ups and downs is an understatement. We were suppose to get married February 2021, moved to July 2021. AnnMarie worked with us to plan our new day in under 2-3 months and was so supportive through everything. Our day was beyond amazing and our family and friends have raved about the wedding. Thank you to Highfields and AnnMarie for a relaxed and pleasant experience even during the craziest of times.
Thank you T&T

From the planning stages, to execution, we had the best experience with Annmarie and the staff at Highfields for our wedding last October. The ballroom, the view, and the grounds were so beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for all of our photos. Annmarie's assistance in planning our perfect day was invaluable and in fact we were able to work together by email and phone since we are in Texas. Our day was absolutely perfect and everything went off without a hitch!

Most of you might be in the same situation l was in ...a COVID Bride. My wedding had to get postponed 2 weeks before the original day. AnnMarie was AMAZING! She helped me change my wedding not once, not twice, but 4 times! I know most would call it quits by that point but I wanted my special day. That was exactly what is was.. special. AnnMarie and her wonderful staff made sure everything went perfectly. I had my first dance, cake cutting, and the food was phenomenal! My guests are still raving about the filet beef and encrusted chicken breast. I fell in love with this venue the moment I walked through the door and I left as family. If you are looking for a elegant and beautiful venue with people who remember you and treat you as if you were part of their family then this is the place for you! I may not have been able to have my 80 person wedding but AnnMarie made sure that I could have everything else!

My husband and I are so glad that we chose Highfields as our wedding venue! Seven months later, and we are still getting positive feedback on the food, the atmosphere, the views, the decoration, and the service--and our guests don't even know how wonderful it was to work with them through the wedding planning process! My meetings with the coordinator, AnnMarie, was one of the best parts of planning my wedding! AnnMarie was kind, compassionate, and truly made me feel like my wedding was the only one that she cared about when I was with her. She listened to our stories and thoughtfully helped us incorporate a family feel into our day, walked me through coordination with other vendors, and made sure that everything went smoothly as long as I did my end of the work! We are so glad that our experience with Highfields was amazing from start to finish, and we can't wait to go back and visit!

We chose Highfields for our Oct 2, 2020 wedding, but we unfortunately made the difficult decision yesterday to move it to a smaller ceremony and reception in our backyard due to COVID. Whenever we sat down with their coordinator, AnnMarie, we felt nothing but love and passion for her job from her. This woman really loves her job and more importantly loves and cares about her couples! Her dedication is unmatched to anywhere else we toured and it shows. She reminds you each time you have an idea or question that this is YOUR big day and not only encourage you, but give you the pros and cons of the idea and works through it with you without making you feel that your idea was completely insane. My fiance, Derek, and I constantly say that AnnMarie is the real reason we chose Highfields on top of their delicious food and gorgeous ballroom overlooking the treetops of the driving range. I was reading horror stories about couples not hearing from their venues and coordinators and given a hard time when asking for their deposit back if they rescheduled or cancelled due to COVID. We knew we wouldn't get the same experience with AnnMarie, but we didn't even need to ask for our deposit and she insisted we take it back. She was even helping us with what's next and how we can make our little backyard wedding a success and offer her answers whenever we had questions! We were so excited to have our big day there, but the world had different plans for us this year. We hope that our paths will cross with Highfields and AnnMarie in the future and if we had to go back and do it again, we'd still choose them.

Everything about our wedding day was perfect. The staff, the food, the venue. All perfect. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. One of the special aspects about Highfield’s is it feels like family and everyone there wants to make your day special. However, I have to say that I couldn’t have done it though without the help of AnneMarie. Even though I was planning a small wedding I never felt it was any less important to her then a huge event. She kept me on track when I had no idea where to start and she had so many wonderful ideas that I used that made our day special. I will be forever grateful!!

My husband and I had our week g at Highfields. The wedding coordinator AnnMarie was amazing!! She was ahead of the game with every aspect during the planning as well as that day. The hall is beautiful and the food is amazing!! Great place to have your event for a great price!

Honestly words can’t even explain how perfect everything was, from the planing to the day of. Annmarie the wedding coordinator is the best ! She makes you feel so comfortable, she walks you through every step of the way! While the photographers were taking pictures of us, Annmarie made sure that we (the bride and the groom) always had a drink of our preference! This day was perfect! The food is amazing! We couldn’t have asked for anything better

Annmarie the wedding coordinator is the sweetest! Unfortunately we went with a different vendor because they did not have the date we wanted it was still an amazing experience with her! She is so sweet, thorough, and flexible.

I can’t begin to describe how wonderful our Highfields Experience was. AnnMarie, and the entire staff (Lisa, Heather, Chris and more), went above and beyond to make our day truly special. We started planning our wedding reception in July 2018. We initially choose Highfields because of the gorgeous set-up, specifically the outdoor patio and lots of windows overlooking the golf course and surrounding trees. I would now 100% recommend choosing Highfields because of AnnMarie. From the very start, AnnMarie will work with you, setting up multiple meetings and FaceTime calls for those who live outside of Grafton, to go over the logistics. By the time our reception arrived, AnnMarie had covered every detail (from napkin colors to ideal table layouts) that we didn’t have a single thing to worry about. Our guests have not stopped talking about how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was.

We’ve had three wedding celebrations in India, Texas and in Grafton, and Highfields was by far the best value. The fact that you get the best event planner, plus a lot of additional bonuses, like bridal/groom suites, linens, centerpiece accessories, included in the already affordable package is just incredible. I highly recommend Highfields for your event if you want stress-free planning and an affordable venue!

Highfields was the perfect choice for my wedding and honestly Annmarie was the selling point. She was a dream to work with and I don't know what we would have done without her! she keeps you on task with wedding to-dos and you can tell that she genuinely cares about the couples that she works with. Having the meetings with Annmarie prior to the wedding is definitely a bonus and a reason in and of itself to choose highfields. The facility is another major selling point - the ballroom is gorgeous, the view is beautiful and having access to a bridal AND grooms suite is an added bonus. The bridal suite was above and beyond what I expected and was such a lovely place for my girls and I to get ready. The weather was crumby on my wedding day and initially I was disappointed to have my ceremony indoors but I was actually very pleasantly surprised that the ceremony set up was more beautiful than I could have expected! The food was great, the staff was warm, and like I said Annmarie was amazing. The fact that she is included in the package makes it a steal in comparison to other similar venues

Great venue! Annmarie was amazing throughout the whole process and our guests all complimented the food and venue!

A little over a month post-wedding and some of the craziness has finally died down so we can write a review. Booking Highfields was the best choice we made in terms of our wedding. We cannot speak more highly of AnnMarie first and foremost, the staff member there who worked with us from start to finish (literally acting as everything from the wedding planner to the day of coordinator) to ensure everything went perfect. That she did! She’s an expert in all things from centerpiece recommendations to the timing of the day to quite literally sewing me into my dress when something went wrong right before the reception. You have multiple meetings with her before the day, which keeps you on track and confident that everything will go well. Kind, professional, easy to work with, flexible, constantly reminding you it’s YOUR day, she cares about the bride and groom and makes wedding planning easy.
Such compliments I can extend to all of the staff; my photographer sent an email after the wedding, specifically complimenting how great the staff were to work with, saying how they made it such a stress-free day for them. My guests complimented the bar tenders to us many times.
The bridal suite at Highfields is something I haven’t ever encountered at another friends’ wedding, and likely won’t again. Everyone loved it and it fit my (massive) bridal party and family with ease, giving everyone plenty of space to go in the multi-room space. They will let you extend the booking for however long you need that morning and you have it all night, which made getting ready incredibly easy and gave everyone a safe place to keep their things. Don’t underestimate this feature, getting ready all in one place, on site, made my day so much smoother.
Finally- the food! My husband and I are both more on the picky side, so we specifically looked for places that had more “fun” food options, and this place was perfect for that. We opted for non-traditional wedding food (mac and cheese, chicken parm, fajitas, etc.) and we are so glad we did. They say that people remember the food and music at a wedding the most, and from our experience that cliche is true. We received so so many compliments on the delicious food, the myriad of options, how you could go up for seconds, how it wasn’t “the usual” food, and more. And the way we did it, we did not have to keep track of any specific plate choice requests, since everyone was getting the same choice and could serve themselves. People still talk about it. If you are looking for the option for a non-traditional meal that people really liked, opt for their “stations” choice.
Overall, we had a blast and I would encourage you to at least check out Highfields for flexibility, choice, and peace of mind on your wedding day. The fireplace right when you walk in makes for beautiful photos, and you can decorate it how you’d like. The golf course is beautiful and the men enjoyed playing it as part of the wedding package. The food is great, AnnMarie is one of a kind, and we all had a great night.

I can not say enough good things about our 4/1/23 wedding at Highfields! Annmarie was a HUGE help with the process. They were super accommodating to our wishes and our day was everything we dreamed of. The food was great! We did the buffet stations. Entire staff was so kind and efficient. Super affordable compared to other venues too!

I don't have enough wonderful things to say about Highfields and especially Annmarie! From day one she was absolutely amazing helping me plan every step of the way, she was helpful, responsive, and extremely excited along with us for our big day! The venue is beautiful, tons of gorgeous spots for photos. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready. Everyone was raving about the food all night and even days after. Danielle, our bartender, was absolutely wonderful. To top it all off the price is so reasonable for everything you are getting! I loved every step of my planning and the day was everything I could have wanted and more. 10/10 would recommend!!

I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding experience with Highfields! Ann Marie was so attentive and helpful throughout the entire process! She would guide us when we felt lost and celebrate with us when we were accomplishing things on our list! If we had any questions in between planning meetings we would email and get a response back almost immediately! The venue was absolutely beautiful, the food was great and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding!

I have nothing but good things to say about Highfields! To start, the coordinator was incredible! She was very responsive, caring, and helpful. We met numerous times throughout the year in preparation for our wedding. This venue is VERY reasonably priced as well. Everyone had great things to say about the food, especially the prime rib! 100% recommend! Fantastic experience working with Highfields!

I was a covid bride (2020) and had to move my date about 3-4 times. Highfields never charged me a fee to changed the date, as some venues had done to couples. Annemarie is a wedding coordinator guru! Without her guidance I would have never known when to get my save the day pics done, when to send out invites, and even how long to wait for rsvps. Annemarie is such a sweet person. She is there for you to have the wedding of your dreams without going bankrupt. Highfields is a beautiful venue and so accommodating.
