We had a LOVELY time getting married at the New England Botanic Garden! Amelia was so responsive to all of my questions and requests - it was a perfect day. The garden was beautiful - we got married in the Orangerie greenhouse and it was beautiful and full of plants (what more could you want!). Would definitely recommend this venue -

We just got married at NEBG and had a wonderful time. After we did our initial tour we opted to do an indoor wedding during the colder season, that way we wouldn't have to worry about rain moving us indoors. Our wedding was during the orchids after dark event and the conservatories were so beautifully decorated. I cannot recommend it enough for a small wedding! (and being in the wedding off season meant we weren't competing with bigger weddings when it came to vendors)
Amelia was so helpful in getting the details right, answering all our questions, and in helping things go smoothly even when we were running late to the venue. -

Amelia was there to help us every step of the way. NEBG truly made our day special. NEBG truly made our ceremony special. The orangerie was the perfect place to say I DO! I will continue to renew our memberships in the future. Can’t think of a more beautiful place in Massachusetts. -

Trish Sent on 10/24/2025Beautiful venue and lovely wedding staff team
My husband and I had our very small (15 people) wedding ceremony at Tower Hill in October. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about the experience, the venue, and the team there. Amelia, our coordinator, was incredibly kind and communicative throughout the whole planning process. She effortlessly kept things organized and streamlined on the day of, which kept a lot of stress off us. We started our event with our Western ceremony in the Limonaia greenhouse, which was perfect for that time of year since it was warm and full of plants, which was both cozy and absolutely stunning. We then took our family formal photos in the Orangerie as the Tower Hill and Peppers teams set up for our tea ceremony back in the Limonaia. The Orangerie was also full of plants and string lights, which made for beautiful photos. We did a dinner add on in the Southeast Link through Peppers Artful Events, and the Peppers and Tower Hill teams worked in perfect and seamless sync. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a small intimate ceremony or an elopement, as the price is extremely reasonable for what you get, which is top notch coordination and truly the most beautiful venue imaginable! -

The New England botanic Garden created the most incredible experience for our wedding day. Everybody on the team was amazing to work with from the very beginning all the way through the night of our event. All of the staff were incredibly professional, helpful and provided us any support we needed. All of our guests are still raving about how phenomenal the venue was and how delicious the food was. I could not have pictured having my wedding anywhere else, and appreciate everybody here who helped us have a perfect day. I could not recommend this venue and team more!! -

Ethan Sent on 09/13/2025Our Dream Wedding
Amelia and the team at NEBG were absolutely incredible. From our first time visiting the venue, to last minute changes and additions, they were completely supportive in helping us host our dream wedding.
Most of all, however, they were professionals through and through. Every little detail was covered: from setup to timeline to breakdown - our wedding went off without a hitch.
At one point during dinner, my wife and I heard guests gradually start to clink their glasses. We thought someone was about to give a speech, but fortunately for us, we had Amelia. She quickly walked by with a smile on her face and whispered, "that means kiss." We kissed, guests cheered, and it was just another reminder of how well Amelia and her team took care of us.
We can't thank the team enough for their remarkable work, and we highly suggest having your wedding here! -

My husband & I got married at NEBG at Tower Hill on Tuesday 9/2 in the evening during an intimate ceremony with 9 guests and we are OVER THE MOON. This location is incredibly beautiful, and during the month of September the light from 6-7PM was perfect for photos. Amelia, their wedding specialist, is very communicative and professional, and came into the venue just for us on a couple of occasions to make sure we got a tour and all of our questions were answered.
If you're looking for a memorable venue with decor provided by nature, this is it. There are several locations on site where you can take photos, and Amelia & her team will provide all of the information you need for a perfect ceremony. -

We truly couldn't have imagined a more perfect August day to celebrate our wedding. The weather was absolutely ideal — a gentle, cool summer breeze drifting through the air, adding a touch of magic to an already breathtaking setting. From the moment we arrived, the natural beauty of the venue set the stage for what would become one of the most memorable days of our lives.
The team at the New England Botanic Garden went above and beyond to ensure everything was flawless. Their attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine warmth made us feel completely supported throughout the day. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the occasion without a single worry.
The combination of a stunning landscape and a truly dedicated staff created an atmosphere that was not only visually beautiful but emotionally unforgettable. Our guests were equally enchanted, and we continue to receive compliments about how seamless and special the entire day felt. We are endlessly grateful to NEBG for helping us create such cherished memories. -

Our wedding at NEBG was absolutely amazing! From the moment we toured the venue to the actual event, the experience was well managed, enjoyable, and executed wonderfully. Amelia and her team at NEBG were so organized and attentive throughout the whole process. She organized the evening perfectly and ensured everything ran smoothly. She was always available for any questions that we had, and she always provided us with valuable input when needed. Our wedding was an absolute dream.

Beyond expectations
Tower Hill hosted the best ceremony we could have ever imagined. The staff were incredibly supportive to make our dream a reality. My father needed accessibility accomodations and tower hill was quick to arrange this. We barely had nice enough weather to be outside and it was a peace of mind to have a indoor back up if needed. Our ceremony was small, 12 total. It was worth the investment to pull off such an incredible moment in our lives. Thank you to Amelia and everyone at tower hill. -

Our wedding at NEBG was perfect! One reason we chose the venue is for the stunning rain plan option because in New England you never know what you're going to get. It rained the morning of our wedding, so we used the rain plan for the ceremony and were still able to have cocktail hour outside.
Amelia was great to work with! She is very knowledgeable and helpful! Our wedding day went without a hitch thanks to her help! She was very understading with our want to still have cocktail hour outside despite the small chance of rain.
Overall, we had such a great experience with NEBG, we would recomened to evevryone! -

Saskia Sent on 07/02/2025We could not have wished for a better day-of coordinator and venue
My husband and I got married at the New England Botanic Garden (NEBG) at Tower Hill on June 20, 2025, and it was truly the most magical day of our lives. From the moment we booked the venue last fall, we had the pleasure of working with Wedding Specialist Amelia Burton, who played an absolutely essential role in making everything run smoothly from start to finish. She helped us think through and organize countless details we would have overlooked on our own. Her patience, flexibility, and kindness made us feel so supported throughout the process—and when we weren’t sure which direction to take, her decisiveness and expertise helped guide us with confidence. Amelia, thank you so much for helping make our wedding day even more perfect than we could have imagined. We are so deeply grateful for you!
As for the venue itself—NEBG at Tower Hill is breathtaking. We fell in love with it when we first visited, but we had no idea just how stunning it would be on our actual wedding day. The team at NEBG and Peppers Artful Events exceeded every single expectation we had. We had 75 guests, and we lost count of how many told us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. The gardens were in full bloom, and guests loved how the evening flowed naturally from space to space, with each part of the celebration offering a change of scenery—without ever having to leave the venue. It’s been over two weeks since the wedding, and we’re still getting messages from guests raving about how gorgeous everything was. We truly cannot recommend it enough.
One of the things we especially appreciated about NEBG was that it partners with Peppers Artful Events for catering and bar services. I’ve been vegan for over 13 years and really wanted to have an all-vegan wedding. From the start, Peppers' sales manager, Carolyn Sweeny, responded to that request with genuine excitement. She let us know they had done a vegan wedding at NEBG before, and she and the Peppers team worked closely with us to design a creative and crowd-pleasing menu—from passed appetizers and vibrant salads to plated entrees, a stunning cake, mini desserts, and custom signature drinks.
Speaking of drinks, I have to rave about Peppers’ mixologist (I’m sorry I don’t know their name!!). I had a loose vision of something tropical, tart, and not too sweet, maybe with passionfruit or lychee, and I asked the Peppers mixologist if a bright pink cocktail might be possible. What they created absolutely blew me away. The signature drink they created was a spectacular fuchsia cocktail made with pink botanical gin, pineapple, passionfruit, lime, dragon fruit purée, a botanical flower rim, pineapple leaf garnish, and a dehydrated dragon fruit slice. It was as delicious as it was beautiful, and it totally captured the playful, vibrant spirit we wanted to bring to the evening.
Beyond food and beverage, Carolyn and the Peppers team also supported us with design and styling. We shared inspiration photos with a Palm Springs-inspired aesthetic, and Carolyn/Peppers completely understood the assignment. She sourced the most perfect chartreuse velvet linens to pair with dusty rose napkins, which ended up looking so incredibly stunning with all of the plants and architecture in the Orangerie. They executed our vision perfectly, even bringing in their own decor to add to the aesthetic.
Our hearts are so full after working with everyone from NEBG and Peppers. Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for bringing our vision to life and making our wedding so unforgettable. ❤️

Caitlin Sent on 06/20/2025Perfect wedding!
My husband and I had a great experience working with Amelia and her team! Leading up to the wedding, Amelia was prompt with her communication and was happy to answer any questions we had. She provided us with helpful resources and tools for us to share information and iron out all the details. I felt secure that every detail was considered. On the rehearsal and day of the wedding Amelia did a stellar job coordinating the wedding party, vendors, and staff. Throughout the day I felt that everything was handled in a way to make things easy and stress-free for us. I felt they went above and beyond to ensure we had a great night! An example of a smaller touch that we really appreciated: near the end of the night staff took photos of us and guests on the dance floor with the disposable cameras that were left on tables to make sure the cameras were filled! Our wedding was a perfect night and we highly recommend NEBG as a venue! -

The greenhouses and gardens were gorgeous, clean and very well maintained. Even though the garden is public, it felt private and romantic; everything we wanted in our ceremony. We worked with Amelia to plan our small elopement ceremony in the Orangerie. She was so quick to answer any questions and collaborate on a surprise guest arrival.
Thank you so much to Amelia and the NEBG team for making our evening perfect!! -

January Elopement
We decided to elope at Tower Hill in January and it was the best choice we could possibly have made. Even with only 20 people they helped us to make our elopement feel like a regular wedding. We had our ceremony in the orangerie and were married under and orange tree (good luck in many cultures). The lighting was incredible and it was so ethereal and magical. I can't reccommend it enough. The staff was super helpful and helped us coordinate everything day of. We had a little reception at Nuovo after and it was the perfect day. We worked with Amelia and she was very communicative and helpful! -

My husband and I toured this venue and immediately knew that no other place could top them. Not only are all the spaces gorgeous and so well maintained, but the staff is amazing too. Their wedding specialist, Amelia, was super helpful throughout the entire process. Her coordination and guidance throughout all our emails, meetings, rehearsal and the wedding itself truly made us feel so at ease. As we know wedding planning and the wedding season can get crazy, but Amelia made us feel like our wedding was special and their personal priority.
NEGB effort go beyond just being a venue. They came prepared and recommended so many great vendors for our night. Everything from the atmosphere, food, music and florals were all handled with ease. I am still hearing from all our guests that it was the best wedding they've been to. Obviously I knew the venue was insanely beautiful but it was nice to hear that everyone enjoyed it as much as I did! -

NEBG is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen/been to. There are multiple locations with gorgeous backdrops to have photos done and all my guests loved the scenery. They work exclusively with Peppers catering which served the BEST food I have ever had at a wedding. The entire staff at NEBG was wonderful and attentive. Amelia specifically went above and beyond as coordinator to make sure our day was perfect, and it was! She is detail oriented, professional, works very closely with your vendors, and just really great at what she does! I HIGHLY recommend this amazing venue for engaged couples. -

We cannot speak more highly of our experience at Tower Hill. The group was organized and systematic in preparation, and no stone was left unturned, no question uncovered leading up to the wedding day so that the day itself went as smooth as we could have imagined. We had a late August wedding and the gardens were magnificent. We had our ceremony in the Secret Garden, cocktail hour in the Winter Garden, and reception in the Orangerie. Our guests continue to remark on how much they loved their experience at the venue. -

When I first saw the pictures of Tower Hill, I knew I wanted to see it in person. When we toured, it was what i had hoped for, intimate, beautiful, romantic and our of a story. The whole experience has been great. We had our wedding planner change a couple of months before the wedding and Amelia made the whole process seamless. She was responsive, attention and gave great feedback based on her experience. Peppers was awesome as well. The staff their went above and beyond to help my son feel comfortable during the reception. He had spilled his drink and they talked with him, included him in the clean up and he felt better about the whole thing. Our wedding was perfect, sad that it is over and look forward to coming back for a vow renewal down the road! -

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. -

My husband and I grew up going to Tower Hill and have so many memories there with our respective families. Having our wedding there was so beautiful and we felt like it was something out of a fairy tale. The whole botanic garden closed and was all just for us and our guests.

My Husband and I knew we wanted Tower Hill to be our venue from the moment we found out they host Weddings. Wanting a location that was beautiful all on its own, we knew it would be perfect! We worked with Meagan who was so helpful and communicative from first inquiry to post wedding! She was very responsive and pleasant to work with. The venue itself has a handful of beautiful ceremony locations as well as a stunning reception location. The gardens are absolutely breathtaking! Along with Meagan, we worked with Tower Hill's exclusive caterer, Peppers. Being a Gluten Free Bride I was a bit nervous to head my options for our big day but Peppers was more than accommodating and I did not miss out on any deliciousness!! This venue is so worth it. From the beautiful ceremony to perfect sunset photos, this venue was truly a dream come true. -

Alejandro and I got married at Tower Hill August 6 of this year, and we are still on cloud nine about how perfect everything was. To say Meagan is an angel would be a vast understatement of how incredible her and her team are. She and her team worked so diligently not just during the wedding, but months following up making sure we had just what we wanted and made sure we had everything we needed. Tower Hill is undeniably beautiful, and there's a reason why it's nationally recognized as one of the best botanical gardens. I cannot recommend this venue enough, seriously I cannot put in to words how wonderful, magical, and simply perfect my wedding was and it was thanks to Meagan and the team at Tower Hill. Absolutely best day of our lives. -

Our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever seen!
We searched all over the local states for the perfect place to have our wedding and could not be happier we picked NEBG at Tower Hill. Not only is the venue beautiful and classy, but it is truly unique. The ceremony and reception were magical and the cocktail hour in the courtyard was like a scene from a movie. All our guests were raving about how our wedding was the best they've been too and even our florist was impressed with the lovely flora on the grounds. Simply stunning!
Meagan must be a mind reader as she understood what we wanted, when we wanted, and had such valuable experience that was invaluable for planning and managing our once in a lifetime event. She was definitely our favorite vendor to work with by far! Her team was great as well, but Meagan definitely earned the MVP award. Thank you so much! -

Nico Sent on 08/23/2023I might be Meagan Wyson's biggest fan!
My husband and I were married at Tower Hill on 7/1/2023. We selected Tower Hill as our venue back in the fall of 2021. Off the bat, my husband was probably more sold on the venue than I was. It's pure, natural beauty and environmental education alone might sell you before you ever even meet the staff. I had never seen a wedding venue actually excite him. While we were there, Meagan Wyson made us feel comfortable because she was clearly very organized, patient, and accommodating. It was Meagan who ultimately sold me on Tower Hill. I am an extremely organized person myself, but Meagan's wedding spreadsheet that she will send you ~1 month before your wedding will have you thinking about details you never dreamed of. Which is great- because there were absolutely no wrinkles the day of our wedding. I didn't have to think about ANY detail the day of because Meagan and I already had. I truly felt like I was able to let go and enjoy the entire day to its full potential. Not to mention- Meagan and her assistants from Tower Hill were all extremely kind and sweet. Exactly what you want on your big day. If I could go back in time and live my life 1000x over again and money wasn't a factor I would ALWAYS choose this venue to have my wedding.
If you see this- thank you again Meagan! You are an amazing and special person!!! -

Ashley Sent on 08/11/2023Beautiful 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! -

We chose NEBG at Tower Hill for our July 2023 wedding and Meagan and the rest of the NEBG staff were simply amazing to work with. They were so responsive, organized, and you can really tell that they care about making your wedding as special and unique to you as possible. We never felt pressured to make any decisions we didn't want to, and they truly listened and catered to our visions and requests. We wanted a simple, minimal and care-free wedding and wanted a venue that would reflect that. With Tower Hill, you don't need any extra flowers, or over the top decor - the venue and space really speaks for itself. All of our guests raved about how beautiful it was! Thank you to Meagan Wyson our coordinator and the rest of the staff for all of their hard work :) -

Meagan and her team at Tower Hill are absolutely incredible! My partner and I were more laissez faire when it came to wedding planning, but the NEBG and Peppers catering teams took our vision and brought it to life. We had a few thunderstorms leading to the big day, and although we had to move the ceremony from the secret garden to the greenhouse, they really maintained the atmosphere that we were looking for. Our families were raving about the venue the whole night. We were so, so happy with the experience! -

Tower Hill was the first and only venue we toured for our wedding! We immediately fell in love with all of the unique spaces for the different parts of the day. Having options for the ceremony - including a beautiful rain plan - was important to us, and the cocktail hour and reception spaces are so unique and memorable. After meeting Tower Hill coordinator, Meagan, saying "yes" was easy. Meagan was so quick to reply to our questions throughout the planning process and was detail-oriented and professional in working with us on the logistics. This meant we felt 100% confident everything was going to be perfect and made the wedding day stress free! Our guests marveled at the space and how it felt they had been "transported" all while being an easy ride from Boston. We can't recommend it enough. Thank you, Meagan, and Tower Hill team for the best day of our lives! -

Stunning one of a kind venue
Tower Hill is a remarkable place, visit the grounds and you’re sure to fall in love with it like we did. And something were especially grateful for, because it is a year round museum (and membership is required to host here-but totally worth it) you can always come back and visit to relive some of the magic. Best of all, for your wedding day there is a great team behind the operations with a lot of heart. Meagan our coordinator was so helpful leading up and really reassuring with a great, peaceful energy during the rehearsal and wedding day. It was clear she had everything organized and there was absolutely no stress day-of so we could really enjoy ourselves. They also have a fabulous list of recommended vendors who made the day perfect. Guests always tell us it was their favorite wedding venue they’ve ever been to and they can’t wait to go back and explore more of the gardens themselves. On the greenhouse and reception hall reads the perfect inscription that sums it all up: “if there is heaven on earth this is it. Joy everlasting.” -

The Best of the Best!
Meagan and the team at NEBG were an absolute dream to work with! Our wedding in July 1, 2022 was the most incredible day. The secret garden was an ideal place for a ceremony, and even though we had a last minute pivot for the acoustics, Meagan answered all of our burning questions and helped save the day! Guests loved the winter garden for the cocktail hour, and the Orangerie absolutely sparkled for the reception. Our family and friends are still talking about it. There isn’t a more unique venue or professional team you could work with! -

Perfect Experience
I cannot recommend NEBG at TH enough for an intimate ceremony. We were married in the Limonaia Conservatory surrounded by our family and so many beautiful plants and flowers. For the cost, you get an hour of time for your ceremony and photos which was more than enough time for us. We had a quick 15 minute ceremony and then had access to the Orangerie and the gardens for photos. Meagan was the most amazing, responsive coordinator and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Thank you to NEBG at TH for our perfect day, we will never forget it! -

We just had our wedding in mid-August and I am so amazed with Meagan and her team. From day one through our wedding, Meagan was extremely responsive, kind, helpful and organized. She stayed extra late at our wedding just to ensure things were running smoothly. We had so much fun the entire day at our wedding and everything was so carefree and that is all thanks to Meagan. I cannot recommend her and her team enough! I wish we could do it all over again.
In terms of the venue, it is such a beautiful and unique location. Many guests were mentioning they had never been to a wedding venue like it. We had a band and danced the night away and didn’t feel like it was too hot in there, which was one of our big concerns! We would absolutely recommend Tower Hill’s venue and know you’ll love it!

We chose Tower Hill as a nostalgic location after going there on one of our first dates. This venue exceeded all of our expectations for the wedding. Meagan guided us throughout the process. She was friendly, calm, and offered expert advice. Meagan kept us updated and seamlessly changed plans when the forecast abruptly turned to rain an hour before our ceremony. Despite the torrential downpours, so many guests said this was the best wedding they had ever been to. We credit Meagan and her staff for helping make sure everyone was having a good time. They went above and beyond, from offering umbrellas as guests arrived to replacing a forgotten drink. We are so grateful for all the work they did behind the scenes to make the day perfect. -

When we first toured Tower Hill we were blown away with how gorgeous venue was, and immediately put a deposit down but it was not only the appearance that was great
The Tower Hill team did a wonderful job leading up to our wedding and facilitating it. Meagan was very responsive and organized and took away a lot of the stress that comes with planning. They were very good at paying attention to detail to ensure the set up was exactly as we intended with the decor which was important to us. The ceremony and reception were flawless and I would highly recommend Tower Hill for any recently engaged couples! -

Unique wedding venue that will leave your guests talking
When it came to choosing a wedding venue, my husband and I started and ended our search with The New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill! There were a few other venues that were on our list to visit, but as soon as we had our tour at Tower Hill we knew that there was no reason to continue our search. Between the outdoor gardens and 2 conservatories, the grounds are BEAUTIFUL (really that is an understatement). In choosing Tower Hill, we knew that our decor could be limited as the venue holds its own and adding too much decor would only take away from its beauty. Really, how many other venues can you say that about?!
Another huge plus, that many other venues can't offer, is that the "backup rain option" is just as stunning as the outdoor space for the ceremony. We all know that the weather in New England can be very unpredictable, so there is peace in knowing that our wedding was going to be beautiful no matter what. We have been to so many weddings where the couple have no backup option or if there is one it is not near as beautiful and isn't what the couple envisioned at all. With Tower Hill, your mind can rest easy the day of in knowing that your beautiful wedding isn't dependent on the weather.
To top it off, Meagan and the Tower Hill Event team are amazing!!! Not only was Meagan professional and responsive in the many months leading up to the big day, but she also makes every couple feel heard and special. Every question I had for her was answered in a timely manner and with such excitement for us. In following the venues wedding account on instagram, I know just how many weddings Meagan and the team have weekly, but never once did I feel like a number or "just another bride". Meagan and the team, thank you so much for all you have done for us! -

(photos by @christinehazel.photography)
I am originally from Boylston, so Tower Hill is a familiar place to me. However, I'd never been there for an event. We wanted a wedding where we could have our ceremony in a flowering garden, then have the reception in a conservatory, which is exactly what Tower Hill provides. They also have rain/inclement weather locations which are also beautiful, and provide a day-of coordinator which was amazing.
Our wedding was 40 people in May on a Sunday, and we expected, if anything, chilly weather. But Mother Nature gave us 96F with a heat advisory and thunderstorms!
Tower Hill had everything thought of, though, and were ready to move things indoors to AC at our call. We ended up still having the ceremony outside, and the rain held off until after dinner, which turned out to be a cool experience in the glass-ceilinged conservatory.
They were very accommodating, especially to our guest who needed to stay in the AC, coordinating with their caterer to serve them dinner until things cooled off. Everything was as perfect as possible and we would recommend Tower Hill for your wedding. -

The moment we visited the garden we knew this was going to be our venue. It’s very unique , with its outdoor indoor experience. Great customer service , great communication. We were updated with any changes made especially with the pandemic. They made this a great experience for us! From the venue to the food. My guests loved the tower hill.
Thank you ladies for making this so special for the Zamors. -

Katie Sent on 10/10/2021A magical setting and the best staff
Tower Hill Botanic Garden is truly the most magical place to hold a wedding. From the gardens to the reception area, every setting is just as unique, as beautiful and as functional as the last. We couldn’t have asked for a more dynamic and visually stunning backdrop to our special day.
At the core of it all, however, was the staff. Throughout the entire planning process, Meagan and the day-of coordinators were incredibly professional, kind and thoughtful. They’ve thought of and planned for everything - and their attentiveness and proactive approach gave us absolute confidence leading up to the wedding and ensured that nothing went wrong day-of. They were responsive, helpful and so accommodating. We couldn’t have imagined a more seamless wedding planning process and celebration.
Pepper’s is also an incredible catering partner. They work closely with you to fine tune your menu to be exactly what you want it to be, and we’re still getting incredible reviews about the food from our guests. We were also so touched by the thoughtfulness of the staff, who executed everything without a hitch.
We are so honored to have been married at Tower Hill, and will continue to come back to visit for years and years to come.

Amazing experience with Tower Hill
We got married at Tower Hill and every part of working with Meagan and the rest of the team there was perfect. I truly could not recommend this more as a venue. The space is so gorgeous and this was confirmed by the many many many guests who kept telling us how beautiful the venue is over and over. When it came to planning, we had to postpone our wedding twice due to COVID (our original date was in 2020 and then we had to postpone again in 2021) and working with Meagan with all of the changes was so easy. Through the whole planning process, Meagan (and also Erin) was super helpful and responsive to any questions we had. She helped us make decisions on things we had no idea about and guided us on the priorities. When it came to the day of - I'm not exaggerating when I say it was perfect. Meagan was constantly present but also managed to be completely invisible, which is truly all you could ever want from your wedding coordinator. The whole team was there with anything we may have needed and helped the night run smoothly and on track. My partner and I did not have to worry about a single scheduling or decorating piece - once we were there and it was day-of, everything was taken care of. If there were issues, I had no idea. I recommend getting married at Tower Hill 100%. -

Our Dream Wedding
We recently had our wedding at Tower Hill on August 20th and the experience exceeded our expectations. We worked with Meagan as our coordinator and she was absolutely amazing and always responsive! We planned our wedding from CA and she made the process as easy as possible and was very accommodating. We wanted a venue that would provide a full experience from ceremony to reception with options for if it rained and Tower Hill checked all of those boxes. Being a botanical garden the venue provides so much character on its own and our guests we’re amazed by the beauty of the space! If you are looking for a unique venue that allows an indoor/outdoor experience with stunning photo opportunities Tower Hill is the place to be! -

My husband and I could not be more happy with the amazing work Meagan Wyson, Erin Kutz, and everyone at Tower Hill put in to make our celebration so beautiful, calm, seamless, and fun. If you are considering them: You could not pick a more insanely gorgeous venue (the Orangerie is breathtaking) with better staff. I am so happy we made the decision to work with them, and our guests had so so much fun -- as did we. Money well spent. -

Megan Sent on 08/04/2021Absolute Perfection
When my husband and I first got engaged, I new I wanted to find a perfect outdoor venue. Having grown up in New England I also knew we needed a good backup option in case of rain. After seeing endless disappointing options, we ended up at Tower Hill. From the moment we walked up the entrance pathway, I knew this was our perfect venue. The gardens are spectacular and create the perfect ceremony backdrop and the Orangerie greenhouse at night is the most beautiful area for a reception. They also have the best ceremony back up plan, using the Limonia greenhouse if it rains (no dripping tents or soggy dance floors here!!).
Best of all was the staff. Having initially planned our wedding for July 2020, we had to deal with a lot more than in a typical year. They were there to hold our hands (from 6’ distance and with masks of course) the whole way. Over the two years working with them, as we opted to postpone our wedding to July 2021, we worked with two different wedding coordinators, Yen and Meagan. Both of them were incredible. We got regular updates on covid regulations and they were both incredibly responsive to emails. Their spread sheets and checklists made everything go so smoothly, even for a semi disorganized bride like myself. They are so thorough, not a single detail was missed. Honestly, when I walked out and saw the cocktail hour set up in the winter garden, it was even better than what I had pictured in my head. They managed to do exactly what I had wanted and then added some even more perfect elements. They also have an exclusive contract with Peppers Artful Events, so the food and drinks are also spot on (not to be completely bias but it was hands down the best dinner and cake I’ve ever had at a wedding - and they had a dedicated waitstaff member for the wedding party during cocktail hour so you can actually get to eat some of the food)!
Bottom line: if you want a spectacular setting for photos, along with a staff that will make your day the stuff that dreams are made of, Tower Hill is hands down the best venue around. -

A Dream Day
My Husband and I love Tower Hill. Our relationship started 6 years ago on a tour of their winter lights celebration. Then 5 years later, during the same winter lights celebration we got engaged. And finally one year after that, during COVID no less, we were able to celebrate our love and tie the knot in the greenhouses and gardens!
I have always been impressed with the Staff at Tower Hill - they are always friendly and kind. However, for our wedding the team truly went above and beyond. They helped us navigate the complexities of planning a Covid wedding - which were many - and kept our hearth and safety at the forefront of conversations.
During the day of the wedding Yen (our brilliant event coordinator at Tower Hill) made us feel special, cared for, and taken care of. We never once felt rushed, or stressed, and they did a wonderful job ensuring the other guests of Tower Hill were respectful during our ceremony.
I have talked to many friends and family members who have been married, and of them I feel truly lucky. I would have not changed a single thing about our wedding day, and Tower Hill had a lot to do with that, a sentiment most don't get to feel.
I would recommend this venue to anyone! Rest assured you will be in great hands. -

Tower Hill is a magical place! It's beautiful, unique, and vibrant! It's a wonderful, scenic place to get married. Your guest will appreciate all the colors and variety for the senses. My husband and I worked with Yen and she made everything effortless. She was friendly, considerate, and highly organized. She kept us on track but also made sure we were enjoying each moment. We are forever grateful!! Thank you Yen and Tower Hill :) -

Brittni Sent on 10/30/2020Best coordinator ever!
This review is for Yen as I was not actually married at Tower Hill. Yen is my employee, but also my friend. I was fortunate enough to have her coordinate my wedding because when you are in the industry you know that you won’t truly be able to let go on the day-of unless you have someone you trust in charge.
Covid completely changed our plans and I pretty much cancelled my wedding out of frustration with the unknown. I slowly started adding piece by piece back when I realized I needed someone who could pull it all together on the day-of.
I trained Yen so she knew how particular I was about the details. I hired a caterer I worked with many times and KNEW they’d deliver, but knew I couldn’t enjoy my day unless giving it to someone I 1000% trusted to be focused on all of the little details that mattered to me. There’s definitely nothing more nerve-wracking than working your manager’s wedding but Yen nailed it.
She has a passion for her job. She cares about all of her couples. I see both of these things regularly in the office. I did her job before hiring her, so you could say I know a thing or two about weddings, but I found myself asking her opinion and advice on many aspects of my day.
The best decision ever was to have a day-of coordinator so I was able to enjoy my wedding. The day goes by so fast; there was no time to worry about anything myself. You won’t be in better hands than Yen’s or a more beautiful setting than Tower Hill! -

The gardens at Tower Hill are absolutely beautiful. There are so many wonderful places to take photos and it's just so special there. However, what makes the place really exceptional is the Wedding/Events coordinator, Yen. She is AMAZING in every sense of the word. She is accommodating, caring, and efficient. She communicated clearly with us and our vendors. She was thoughtful in every action. It was so great working with her. I recommend her and Tower Hill highly! -

After the first few minutes of visiting Tower Hill, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married in. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is phenomenal. Everyone is very well organized, and great communication throughout the entire process leading to the big day. On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about anything as the staff was on top of it all. Everything went smoothly and I couldn't be happier. And most importantly, the guests had a great time and still complement the garden. Well worth the expense! -
Kelly Sent on 09/22/2018Tower Hill was at the top of our venue list, so we were thrilled when Brittni reached out to us to let us know that a Saturday in 2018 had opened up. The grounds are so beautiful that it made planning very easy - I barely bought any decor and only used a florist for bouquets and boutonnieres. There are so many scenic locations that we were able to use for photos - the Wild Rumpus (great for a party shot), the Adirondack chairs overlooking the reservoir, the Lawn Garden, and various other places in between. We were able to hold our ceremony in the Secret Garden and loved how the bridal party looked cascading down the steps. And the reception hall was perfect - our wedding was in September, so the sun set on the earlier side, but it created a really cozy effect in the Orangerie which looked gorgeous with the built-in uplighting and various candles we had on the tables.
I can't say enough good things about the TH team, too! I was hoping to have a positive experience based on other reviews, and everything lived up to my expectations. The walkthrough process was very detailed but painless - they had us fill out a packet a few weeks beforehand so when we met in person most of the details had already been sorted out - and when we changed some things leading up to the wedding, they were super understanding and responsive. I'll admit I was a little nervous when Brittni told us that Yen would be running our wedding, but she did an amazing job and was so sweet and genuine during the process (and Brittni was still pretty involved anyway). We also really enjoyed working with Chyana (the new contact for bar service via Peppers Artful Events), who helped us order a special Night Shift beer to have on tap. The entire TH team was so proactive and organized that I was able to actually relax the day of the wedding, knowing that they had everything under control.
I am so grateful that we were able to have our wedding at Tower Hill - thanks Yen, Brittni, and the rest of the TH team! -
