Mayfair Farm Reviews

Mayfair Farm was the best possible wedding venue that my partner and I could have ever chosen. With my partner’s family spending a large amount of their time in the Monadnock region, we had many chances to visit Mayfair and get to know Sarah. Once we were engaged, we knew it was the best plan to get married there.

From the beginning, Sarah was incredibly helpful and accommodating–even going so far as to invite my partner and I to a farm dinner the summer before our wedding date so that we could get a gauge of the weather and lighting when planning out our wedding day schedule. We felt confident that our vision was being met from the catering provided by Sarah’s team to the local flower vendors who teamed up to help us make an arrangement for the arc we were married under. Sarah was easy to connect with and was incredibly organized, helping us feel confident that our plan would make for the perfect wedding day.

We loved having the Air BnB on site for the wedding weekend–making it easier to navigate the rehearsal dinner, set up before the ceremony, and have our pre-ceremony photos. This was a huge bonus, especially given the situation at other venues in the Monadnock region or closer to Boston. In addition, Sarah and her family were incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our wedding weekend stay.

My partner and I would highly recommend that you choose Mayfair as your wedding venue. You will not get the same attention to detail and care that Sarah and her team provide anywhere else.

We were blown away by our experience with Mayfair and so were our guests! It's so incredibly welcoming and Sarah was helpful from the start with planning our day. There was a lot of opportunity to make the venue and day uniquely ours but we also didn't feel like we had to start from scratch. Overall the food was amazing, outdoor and indoor spaces are gorgeous and Sarah is so helpful and pleasant to work with. Cannot recommend Mayfair Farm enough!

Our experience with Mayfair Farm was absolutely amazing! From our initial tour of the venue all the way up to wedding day, Sarah and her team really made sure we felt supported throughout the whole process. Sarah was excellent about answering all of our questions and would always respond quickly! The food was phenomenal! Our guests absolutely loved our personalized menu that Sarah helped create. Everyone spoke about the stunning views from the ceremony space and clean details that can be appreciated throughout the barn. I am so grateful we found Mayfair Farm for our wedding. It was such a seamless experience all thanks to the team that makes it all possible!

Throughout the wedding planning process, we said (a countless amount of times!) how grateful we were to have chosen to get married at Mayfair Farm. Everything was perfect, and far exceeded our expectations and dreams. Communicating with Sarah and her team was easy and thorough, and she thought of a million things that I would've missed. The food was amazing, and our guests loved everything. It was such a wholesome, healthy, fresh, and thoughtful menu and delivery. Though we did not end up needing to use it, it was immensely comforting to have such a seamless rain plan in our back pocket, especially as we waited out a super gloomy 10-day forecast. Luckily, it was 75 and sunny, and we enjoyed panoramic views from the hilltop. I could go on and on and ON about how much we love Mayfair Farm, but to summarize, don't think twice about booking your wedding here.

Sarah worked with us very closely every step of the way, from initial meal planning and event logistics, through to a perfect dinner. Her menu ideas were creative and delicious. When we needed to adapt our original menu selections she eagerly provided additional menu suggestions. She's very committed to serving local foods and everything was cooked perfectly. So many guests said they thought the food was "A+". Sarah's serving team was professional, courteous and fun. Sarah was also instrumental in keeping an eye on many important logistical details such as all the rental items and helping to coordinate with our bartender. She was always there when I needed her for questions via email or a quick call and on a couple site visits. This planning, her fabulous food and happy service team made for a perfect reception!

We had the absolute best experience with Mayfair Farm from our first tour right through the entire wedding weekend. The farm is so pretty with amazing views, foliage, and flowers. Sarah & her team were there every step of the way to help us plan, answer questions and make sure everything was in place for the big day including back up plans in case of bad weather (which we thankfully didn't need!). We loved that we had the venue for the whole weekend making setup and tear down a breeze as we could drop off & pick up Friday and Sunday. Customizing our wedding menu with Sarah was so fun and gave our day such a great personal touch too. Day of, everything was great. The airbnb & barn loft were perfect getting ready spots, the ceremony site was gorgeous and our guests can't stop talking about how well run and fun the wedding was. Thank you Sarah + team for helping making our day so perfect!

Across the board mayfair was an incredible venue and couldn’t imagine a more perfect day. Sarah was completely transparent from our first conversation then when we visited the venue we saw how special it was on the farm - with the gorgeous new barn, perfect sheep, and intimate hilltop ceremony location with permanent arbor and mount monadnock in the back. Sarah’s team supported us all weekend and we were able to live in the moment and enjoy the property. We also had our rehearsal dinner there so we were able to get everything set up for the wedding and have everyone start to enjoy it rather than so many venues that have you in and out! The wedding was truly was the most special day, we couldn’t have imagined it being any more perfect. Thank you Mayfair for having us and providing a place where people can have an event that reflects who they are!

My daughter Casey and her husband Harrison celebrated their wedding at Mayfair Farm on June 15, 2023. They live in New Zealand and last year they decided to have their celebration while they were in New Hampshire for six weeks. After visiting ten other venues last year, I knew as soon as I got to Mayfair and met with Sarah that this was “the” place! I described Mayfair as “Joanna Gaines meets industrial chic. That, along with its being farm-to-table and Sarah’s genuine enthusiasm and desire to make it a perfect celebration, sold Casey on Mayfair. In May, we visited Sarah at Mayfair for our 1-month review and my daughter knew we had made the right choice!

DJ Kenny Wilson handsomely supplied the music and guided everyone through the various stages of the celebration; he was truly a treasured part of the night! The cocktail hour was on the covered veranda, but guests were free to wander. Matthew, our bartender from DeeLuxe Parties, expertly served the two signature drinks, beer, wine, and soft drinks and the guests enjoyed chatting with him. Outside, guests played lawn games, walked to the hilltop for stunning views, and visited the sweet little lambs and the farm dog Ruby in the pasture.

June weather can be tricky, so having a venue that offered inside and outside options was perfect. Half-way through the cocktail hour, the heavens opened, and rain poured down. To our delight, no one got even a little bit wet on the veranda, and the raised floor stayed completely dry! As the cocktail hour wound down, the sun appeared again, streaming through the edges of dew-dipped grass. Molly Burns Photography captured some breathtaking moments during this truly magical hour.

The idyllic country setting, the brightness of the white-washed barn and contrasting dark wooden tables, combined to make this, as so many of the guests commented, “a magical place”! While the venue is absolutely fabulous, the food was equally so. Sarah’s entire suggested menu was perfect. The menu started with copious, uniquely delectable passed hors d’oeuvres, followed by a wonderful plated salad and the buffet style dinner, ending with fabulous desserts and one of the best cakes I have ever tasted! The food was wonderful, and the servers were charming and knowledgeable about all the various offerings. This created a perfect culinary event!

A wedding celebration is about a couple sharing one of the most personal and important decisions of their life with their friends and family. The venue, food, entertainment, decorations should all reflect the joyful love the couple feels for each other, and their personalities. From beginning to end, Sarah’s sincerity and warmth made the experience at Mayfair effortless with everything geared toward helping Casey and Harrison achieve the desired reflection and creating the best celebration imaginable.

Mayfair Farm went above and beyond for our wedding day. Sarah and Craig were immensely welcoming and to say their property is beautiful in an understatement. Mayfair was the only venue we looked at for our wedding and we quickly knew we did not want to go anywhere else. The ceremony location is stunning and the reception barn is bright & airy. We used the covered outdoor patio as our dance floor and our guests loved how cool it was compared to being stuck dancing in a stuffy room and you got to enjoy the outdoor views of the venue too! Sarah was able to recommend vendors whenever I felt stuck and they were all incredible. She took the time to check in on every detail before the wedding and help it go as smooth as possible. Sarah worked with us to create a delicious cocktail hour and dinner menu that reflected our taste as couple and added an extra customized touch to the day. Craig helped us several times throughout the weekend if we needed a hand or let us borrow something we had forgotten at home. Mayfair feels like it is a location made just for your wedding- it isn't attached to a hotel or restaurant and it isn't busy with people. It is like having a whole spot to create your perfect day with the friendliest couple to help you build it. The Air BnB on the venue is an added bonus to alleviate some of the stress of storing any decorations and having somewhere to get everyone ready the day of- plus it is adorable! We could go on and on about Mayfair, and we do to anyone that asks. There is really nothing I would change about this venue and cannot believe we were lucky enough to come across it. We can't wait to go back and visit! Thank you, Sarah & Craig (plus kids, sheep, pups, and staff!)!

Mayfair Farm is the best venue you can choose for your wedding. My husband and I got married there in October and it was nothing short of a magical day. The venue is gorgeous, offering the most beautiful ceremony site up top of hill, overlooking a mountain. The barn is, bright and modern, with the perfect amount of space for dancing, a lovely porch for cocktail hour, and even a fire pit. All of our guests have said that it was one of the most fun weddings they have ever been to, and it has much to do with the attention to detail, friendly service, and beautiful amenities that Mayfair offers. The owner, Sarah, is a very genuine and generous host, and perhaps one of the best cooks I have ever met! All of the food, including the deserts, that come out of that kitchen are incredible. Sarah also helped me tremendously through the wedding planning process and anytime I brought her some thing I was stressed about, she lifted that stress quickly with just one email. She’s efficient, clear, and she knows what event hosting is all about. I can say that both myself, and my whole family, feel deep appreciation for Mayfair Farm, and it will always have a special place in our hearts. You will not regret having your wedding here!

couldn't have had a better experience working with Sarah and her team. Sarah bakes the best baked goods I've ever eaten and the meals were incredible. catered to vegetarian, gluten free, vegan and everyone in between.

There are not enough words to describe the magic, perfection, and gratitude that took place at Mayfair Farm. Sarah, her family, and all the staff went above and beyond to make it an absolutely perfect weekend. The venue itself is a dream: the hilltop mountain views, the stunning modern barn, the cozy cottage, and everything in between, I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate my love. Not to mention the fact that we had to push out our wedding a year due to COVID and she was the most flexible and understanding.

Let's not forget about the food - everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was to die for. And whether you have a wedding or not - you must get a cake because Sarah gave us the best carrot cake I have ever eaten. (also the brownies!!!)

I cannot say enough positive things about Mayfair, only that I look forward to attending summer farm dinners and hopefully being a part of another wedding here one day.

My husband and I had the unfortunately situation where COVID delayed our wedding for over 2 years. This meant planning was a multi-year event but Sarah (Mayfairs owner and amazing chef) made it soooo easy to do. She was highly responsive throughout, always gave us options, and communicated very well with us and our vendors (like rentals and such). Shes an incredibly nice person which makes the experience much better than others i've heard nightmares about. Everything with Sarah is flexible and she really listens to what you want. If you have a vision for something, she's on board no questions asks and no up charging for every micro decision like other "business forward" venues. 'You want the camp fire lit? Great, just let us know what time.' 'You want the sting lights, great, they'll be there'... that kind of energy is really refreshing when you're a bride with no coordinator doing this alone. Sarah's staff is also AMZING. We had our welcome dinner at the venue as well and when he staff heard we didn't order flowers for this, they offered to pick some beautiful flowers from the garden and displayed them tastefully around the tables. It's those little things that make the experience so perfect on your big day!
Over the year we got to spend some long weekends at the AirBnB at Mayfair and felt really comfortable there - I highly recommend this! We sooo fell in love with this venue the first time we saw it. It's beautifully maintained, classic, but modern. We didn't want to go with a venue so many people had picked (like barn on the pemi, mountain top) and wanted something unique that we could make out own. Mayfair was just that! Mayfair is a venue that you can totally dress up and WOW guests with florals and decorations. OR you can totally dress down with minimal decorations which lets the simple modern style of the barn and property come to life. When you're picking your venue (usually the first step in planning a wedding) you may now know the style of wedding you want, we didn't, and that was a big plus for us knowing when we visited that there was some much potential with the venue.
The actual wedding day was PERFECT. We lucked out with weather, no unplanned changes or hiccups in the day, and even without a wedding coordinated Mayfairs staff executed everything perfectly.
Even our most critical guests were telling us the food was the best they've had. We gave some guidance but let Sarah really help create the menu. She'll really try anything you want - I think that's her favorite part. She is a chef by training, so we trusted her to make many of those decisions and it worked out great. She even labelled, packed everything up nicely, and left us bags of leftovers that we enjoyed for several days after. You really can't go wrong with Mayfair. It has everything to offer and so much flexibility to make your day the dream you always wanted.

Our Wedding at Mayfair Farm was perfection! From the first email, site visit and leading up the last months, weeks and days to our wedding, Sarah took care of everything. Our wedding had such personal special details including a handcrafted menu that highlighted my husband's Turkish roots as well as my Jewish heritage. The food is like no other "wedding food" anyone will every have. It's made with love and detail. We had 116 people and used the barn space for cocktails and then later DJ and dancing, with dinner in a beautiful tent with long brown farm tables. Initially my only concern was separating the dancing and dinner spaces, due to the size of our wedding we could have done a few set ups - but it worked perfectly and seamlessly to have both the barn space and the tent. (Highly recommend if you're over 100 people to consider this set-up!) It does not feel disconnected at all, and guests loved it. The barn is airy, modern and has an amazing loft that is perfect for getting ready, photos -even sneaking up to look out over the dance floor and soak in the fun. We also had lawn games, golf carts for people, and turned the fire pit into a s'mores station after cake cutting. The wonderful thing about Mayfair is Sarah lets you make it feel like it is YOURS for the weekend. She is so open minded to ideas and will work to make your dream wedding reality. We looked at many venues in Manchester, VT and New Hampshire and were so disappointment that most places were what we would call "a wedding factory" - popping out the same event, with the same food, same set- up each weekend, sometimes even 2-3 in a week. If you're looking to make something special, on a fair budget, Mayfair is just perfect. I cannot say enough wonderful things

There are truly no words to express how perfect this venue was for our wedding. We were originally planning a wedding for summer of 2020, but like so many others, postponed to 2021 for the safety and health of our family and friends. Sarah and her entire team made every piece of this puzzle so incredibly smooth and were so flexible throughout the entire process. The venue is the most idyllic farm, with a ceremony space on a hill with a view of Mt. Monadnock, and a newly renovated barn for the cocktail hour and reception. All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was, how cute the sheep were on the hill, and how much fun they had. Mayfair provided the catering, (including the cake!), ceremony and reception spaces, bridal suite, and an airbnb on the property for six of us to stay the weekend. The day of the wedding felt like a dream, everything came together exactly as we had hoped and we highly recommend working with Mayfair and Sarah for any events!

The short version – Mayfair is incredible!

We loved Mayfair from the start. The setting is beautiful and the wedding barn is modern, clean, bright and gorgeous – perfect if you love the outdoors but want a dry, clean space for your New England wedding regardless of the day’s weather. Working with Sarah was an absolute delight; she is professional, yet easygoing, communicates clearly and in a timely manner, and makes you feel like your wedding day is as important to her as it is to you. In fact, thanks to picking Mayfair early on, planning our wedding was nearly completely stress free until Covid happened.

The pandemic erupted two months before our big day, and we were devastated. Fortunately, Mayfair was super accommodating and pivoted right with us. We ended up having a super small elopement ceremony on our original wedding date and postponed a larger event with our guests to the following year. For our elopement, Mayfair let us use the ceremony site at no extra cost and provided us with a cake to make the day still special in its own, scaled down way.

Fortunately, our “redo” date was timed perfectly and we were able to have an intimate fully vaccinated wedding celebration that was almost everything we hoped our wedding day would be. And Mayfair delivered! Our guests couldn’t stop marveling at how gorgeous everything was and said that the food and service were exceptional. From prepping the days before to cleaning the day after, we always felt welcome and never rushed. Mayfair truly felt like our own little oasis for the weekend.

We absolutely loved the AirBnB, and the bridal loft is the most dreamy “getting ready” space you could imagine. The wedding barn gets AMAZING light for photos, and provides ample space for dining, dancing, and even your ceremony if needed, regardless of the weather. The grounds were well maintained, and we love the charm that the sheep added to our day (there was a point in time where the sheep were grazing behind our sweetheart table and numerous people felt the need to stop everything and get our photos at that moment because it was so picture perfect). Despite being a working farm, it doesn’t smell like livestock either.

We also LOVED that Mayfair included so much in the wedding package. While Mayfair isn’t cheap, we truly feel that it is a great value. Having our venue and caterer in one simplified logistics a bunch and ended up making it far easier to pivot when Covid happened, as we had fewer vendors to coordinate for a new date, and we didn’t have multiple separate expensive deposits. Mayfair also provided an estimate for rentals and bartending services based on the vendors they work with, so we had a very good idea of general hosting costs with our initial estimate they gave us, but we still had a lot of freedom to choose the vendors we wanted to realize our wedding vision. We planned our own wedding without the help of a wedding planner or day of coordinator, and it all went well thanks in large part to having fewer pieces to line up and such professional vendors on board.

We wanted a wedding that reflected our values and shared the place we call home with the people we love – and Mayfair was the perfect venue to do just that. From the farm-to-table menu that highlighted delicious, in season, local, organic food to the contemporary building and décor to the beautiful landscape that was quintessentially New England, complete with a view of our beloved Mount Monadnock, Mayfair was everything we wanted it to be. We knew our wedding would be one of our biggest single-day investments in our lives, so we wanted to invest our money into our community and give to people and businesses we believe in. For us, Mayfair Farm was the perfect choice.

We will never be able to truly express how grateful my husband and I, and our families, are that we were able to celebrate our wedding at Mayfair Farm. With a hilltop ceremony site overlooking Mount Monadnock, sheep meadows, and elegant white event barn, Mayfair Farm is truly a magical location. The AirBnB cottage at the farm is lovely and became our home away from home for the long weekend. It was especially nice to be able to relax next to the fireplace on those crisp October evenings. We hosted our rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, and after wedding brunch at Mayfair and Sarah created unique and beyond delicious seasonal, locally grown menus for each. But what makes Mayfair Farm truly special is Sarah, her family, and the incredible staff. Sarah brought warmth, kindness, care, and creative ideas to every step of the planning process. Our entire experience was truly wonderful — from the moment we first met Sarah through the end of the wedding weekend — and we wholeheartedly recommend Mayfair Farm to couples who are looking for the perfect location for an intimate New Hampshire wedding.

The entire team at Mayfair Farm is incredible! From first point of contact until the very end we felt heard, cared for, and had ZERO worry about the ceremony, food, festivities and guest experience. They made everything so easy. The farm and venue are gorgeous (personal AirBnB on site a PLUS!), food was world class, and photo opportunities couldn't have been better. Sarah and Craig run a class act. Don't wait to book this place!

Talk about a MAGICAL place. Mayfair Farm was the perfect wedding venue for me and my (now) husband. We had an 85-person wedding and bused guests in from a hotel in nearby Keene. We planned to have our ceremony on top of the hill on the property, but ended up utilizing the patio due to rain- and it was STILL perfect. We had guests, a dancefloor, bar, and our 4-person band, and a photo booth all in the barn. The AirBnB on the property was an awesome place to prep for the big day. The ceremony spot on top of the hill has to-die-for views, and the barn- with its modern clean lines, huge doors to highlight the green pastures outside, and gorgeous loft space- just puts it over the top. All my guests were as in love with Mayfair Farm as we were- and still are! Sarah and her lovely family were a dream to work with. I’d recommend Mayfair Farm to everyone!

We had the best experience....

My husband (!!!) and I love Mayfair Farm. Sarah and her team are amazing. Everything about this venue is more than we could have wanted. We loved that we could stay at the Airbnb right on the property and the food at the rehearsal and reception were amazing! Sarah is very responsive and wanted to make sure that we were enjoying ourselves every step of the way. At the same time, the venue was very laid back and relaxing. We honestly cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. We hope to go back and stay on the farm again some day! I highly recommend this venue for any couple looking for an all-inclusive experience on a beautiful farm.

Breath taking. Spectacular. Magical. Quant. Just a few of the many wonderful words we could use to describe our experiences with Mayfair Farm and living out our life long visions of the most perfect wedding day imaginable. The professionalism, care, love and support that went into the preparation of our day has forever made a mark on our hearts—we will cherish every detail and helping hand forever.
We highly recommend Mayfair for catering, their exceptional hospitality, and beautiful location to anyone, any day.
With love,
The Morins

Mayfair Farm is exceptional! Their food is booming with flavor, and gorgeous to look at. We chose Mayfair to really class up our wedding. The presentation of everything was an art in itself and superior to any other caterer we had researched in the area. I wanted to support them because they are farm to table and work with what foods are most in season. These factors really brought a sense of elegance to our wedding. Sarah, her husband and staff are an amazing team to work with. They are kind, creative, and all around great people to plan alongside with. You will not be disappointed!

My wedding was in May at Mayfair Farm and the entire process—from early planning to the actual event—was everything I dreamed of and more! Sarah (the owner) was an absolute delight to work with. I was attracted to the venue because Mayfair has an outdoor ceremony space with a view of Mt. Monadnock, an indoor reception space (a beautiful new barn!), catering on site (Sarah is amazing at what she does), and a beautiful airBnB to stay at during the weekend of the wedding. There are so many wonderful things I could say...

Sarah gave me a very reasonable quote early in the process and stuck to it. She even included anticipated costs for rentals. Come wedding weekend, there were no surprises. We even fell slightly under the original estimate. I did extensive research on venues before we decided and I really felt like Sarah put the most time into giving me a thorough quote. She’s hands-on through the whole process, which was really helpful because I didn’t have a wedding planner and I haven’t planned a wedding before… she knew the right questions to ask and thought of things I did not.

The barn provides a great guest experience. We had dinner in the barn, the DJ and dance floor on the porch, and we used the fire pit once it was dark. Because the barn doors are so large and open, there is great flow between the three areas. Even if you weren’t on the dance floor, you felt like part of the action. Multiple guests commented on how amazing the venue was. Additionally, the barn is so beautiful, I did not have to do any extra decorations. Flowers and table runners were all that I needed.

The food was out of this world. Sarah puts together great menu options using her expertise and your tastebuds. The end result was food that we loved. We opted to go with a buffet with a few options and many guests raved to me about the food (and they still are telling me how great it was). The waitstaff was also so kind and saved my husband and I plates of appetizers to make sure we got to enjoy everything once photos were finished. Sarah’s dessert options were also great. We opted to go with cake at the rehearsal dinner (so good!) and a variety of sweet treats on the big day.

We also had the rehearsal dinner at Mayfair. It made life easier to have everything there, rather than plan a rehearsal dinner elsewhere. Sarah also catered lunch for the wedding party on Saturday before the wedding, which was much less stressful than figuring out other arrangements.

The airBnB on site is lovely and was perfect for our needs. My husband and I stayed there one night (the fireplace is so romantic!) and the bridesmaids and I stayed there on Friday night. The girls and I opted to get ready there on Saturday because it was so comfortable. (The groomsmen got ready in a really cool loft space in the barn.)

Sarah has great recommendations for local vendors for the other things you need: bar services, photographer, hair dresser, hotel, buses, etc. I was also drawn to the fact that you can bring your own alcohol into the venue. This idea is nice because you can sell back unopened bottles to NH liquor stores.

Long story short, my husband and I were incredibly happy with our wedding weekend. We can’t speak highly enough of Mayfair and Sarah and her team. If we were to turn back time, we would choose Mayfair again. It was such a beautiful and memorable weekend!
