    Look no where else

    What can I say about Janet and her team at The Mansion!? Janet was always one email or phone call away, answered all of my questions and always gracious and kind. You can see/feel the excitement she has for you. Don't look anywhere else book this place, its beautiful outdoor garden space and then inside the hall where you have these beautiful wooden beams to eat and dance the night away. The day of our wedding Janet was there to help out in any way. Her staff were kind and had food out in a blink of an eye, passing appetizers and drinks. I wish I could do it all over again. Thank you so much for making our night (and planning) so magical.

    We booked this venue 10 days before the wedding!

    The Mansion at Bald Hill hosted our daughter's wedding reception recently. We cannot say enough about the experience we had there! The food was delicious, and it was served by a professional, polite wait staff. The ambiance was amazing. The cocktail hour was outside on the patio. The guests loved the fire pit! The dining room was beautiful and comfortable, accommodating our 86 guests, no more than 6 per table, which were 6 feet apart. Dancing was outside in a tent with a 6 piece band. Two weeks before the wedding, we never thought our daughter's and son-in-law's special day could look like this. Their wedding reception was originally planned at a venue in MA, but the Covid guidelines changed on 8/11, reducing outdoor gatherings in MA to 50 people, from 100 people. We had already reduced the size of the wedding from 200 to 100, back in July when the guidelines were changed initially. The church was in Worcester, MA, so we were able to travel to this venue in CT, where the guidelines allowed us to have close to the 100 we had planned for. We would have had to cancel the wedding if we had to keep it to 50, because our family is larger than 50, and we could not leave out family. Janet came to our rescue, after I reached out to her on August 11. She made this magical day happen in 10 days, as if she had a year in advance to plan it! She is amazing-so easy to work with, so professional and efficient and couldn't do enough for us to make it the wedding they always dreamed of! This venue is a gem!

    The Mansion at Bald Hill's reply:

    We are so happy to have been apart of their special day! We are happy to have been of assistance during this crazy time. We wish them all the best on their marriage!
    Best,
    The Mansion at Bald Hill

    Wonderful Venue!

    My wedding was at this venue on July 17th. I had very high hopes for The Mansion at Bald Hill since the first time I saw how beautiful it was in person! Not only did our wedding go so smoothly, it absolutely exceeded my expectations. Janet was there helping and facilitating every second of the way - with the littlest of jobs to ones more involved! I could not thank her and her staff enough for the hard work they put in for our rehearsal dinner and wedding the next day. The food The Mansion cooked and provided was delicious both nights. Everything went seamlessly from our point of view, even with the crazy rain shower and changing our ceremony spot last minute. Our wedding guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the entire night. The Mansion has a list of preferred vendors who were also super easy to work with and I would highly recommend as well. My husband and I would recommend The Mansion for any event!

    Gorgeous venue

    Exceptional in every way! Beautiful grounds and amazing hospitality. Between the gorgeous backdrop for our outdoor wedding ceremony to the beautiful outdoor patio with waterfalls and fire pits for the cocktail hour, the venue was just stunning. The reception with beautiful bar, high ceilings, and gorgeous woodworking helped make our night the best one ever.

    Highly Recommend!

    If you are an anxious bride who wants their day to be perfect, I highly suggest going with The Mansion at Bald Hill - their Event Manager, Janet was an absolute dream to work with! Her punctuality in email and phone responses, attention to detail throughout the planning experience, and passion for the wedding space was incredible. Having her manage the wedding on the day of let me sit back and enjoy the day with my loved ones. We loved that the venue provides so much flexibility for a ceremony either indoor or out, beautiful grounds to take photos, and a patio space for guests to enjoy the fresh air. We could not have had a better experience and would recommend this venue to anyone!

    Perfection

    It was a dream to work with the Mansion at Bald Hill and our wedding day was perfect. We LOVED working with Janet! She was there to answer our every question during the planning process, as well as made both the rehearsal and the wedding itself run so smoothly. My husband and I have food sensitivities/allergies, and everyone there (both in the banquet hall and the Mansion restaurant itself) was very accommodating to our needs. We give them our highest recommendation.

    Loved our wedding venue!

    Where do I begin? The Mansion at Bald Hill gave us the most perfect wedding I could have ever asked for! This year has been crazy and unpredictable with the looming pandemic, but Janet and her staff constantly went above and beyond to give us our perfect day. Especially these last couple of months when COVID was getting worse Janet was there to walk us through our options and how we could make this day special no matter what. The night before the wedding the venue looked beautiful, like a Christmas Hallmark movie! The venue is absolutely beautiful and so is the restaurant where we also had our rehearsal dinner. Our guests kept giving us compliments on how beautiful our venue was, how delicious the food was, and how great the bar was! The bartenders definitely knew their drinks! We loved this place and so happy we chose it. Janet went above and beyond and we highly recommend this venue to anyone!!!

    We had to change our venue relatively last minute and everyone was so helpful with us still being able to have our wedding day.

    Outstanding Experience at the Mansion!

    Janet was fantastic in ensuring the details were covered. She was of superb support for the on scene handling of logistics. Our wedding was perfect even amidst 3 date changes due to Covid. Truly, after researching 12+ venues, we chose MBH and had a wonderful experience, would recommend the Mansion at Bald Hill for your event.

    Excellent vendor, very satisfied

    Working with Janet at The Mansion at Bald Hill was a pleasure. She made planning a COVID wedding much easier than we anticipated. She went above and beyond to ensure we were following safety guidelines while still being able to achieve our dream wedding. Also, the food was amazing! I highly recommend this venue.

    Couldn’t be happier

    We couldn’t have been happier with our reception at the Mansion. Janet from the beginning was professional, helpful, and reassuring as she guided us through our COVID wedding. They were extremely accommodating with a tent and bar outside during the pandemic. The outside amenities were perfect for our fall wedding. The staff were welcoming and polite, and the food really is out of this world! Highly recommend!

    Lovely Venue for a Vintage Garden-Chic Wedding

    Planning: Janet was very responsive to my frequent emails and was incredibly flexible when we had to postpone our wedding due to covid-19.

    Cost: Extremely reasonable food/beverage cost - our guests are still raving about the hors d'oeuvres and entrees (I didn't get to eat much, but it looked amazing!) Site cost included use of ceremony site and bridal suite for getting ready. Oh, and breakfast (the breakfast is delectable). We loved that there was no guest minimum.

    Site: Gorgeous grounds. Beautiful English garden for ceremony, fountains and fire pit at night. Very quiet and private! So glad that there's only one wedding per day - we felt very well taken care of.

    Overall: From the start, we knew that we would get married at the Mansion at Bald Hill. It's a beautiful location with superb service and value. We highly recommend!

    Absolutely Amazing

    I was supposed to be married back in March at a venue in Massachusetts. Due to Covid, my year long planning came to a halt days before it was all supposed to come to life. After a lengthy heart breaking ordeal with my other venue, i reached out to the Mansion with what seems like a ridiculous request. "Can you host my wedding, three weeks from today?" Janet reached out with a simple "i think i can help, ill call you tomorrow". Janet was amazing. She was responsive through the whole process and made the transition seamless. She even spent 20 minutes pinning up my dress when my bustle failed to keep my dress from under my feet. I cannot say enough about how great she and the staff is. The venue is beautiful. The wedding was beautiful. So unbelievably happy.

    Everything was above and beyond

    We can’t praise the Mansion and the wedding coordinator, Janet, enough. She was always quick to reply, even during the holiday season. She made sure everything was smooth sailing, and I never felt rushed or out of control. She was exactly what every bride needs to keep the wedding on track and to keep calm if anything goes awry. I have nothing but praise for her.

    Dream Come True!!

    The Mansion at Bald Hill was my dream wedding venue! We had our ceremony off site but the reception was perfect. Janet and team did a phenomenal job setting everything up exactly as I wanted and had envisioned in my head! Janet was always super flexible to meet with me and my husband. As well as very responsive on returning any of my calls and/or emails. The servers were all so nice on the wedding day. Guests had nothing but good things to say about all of them! Oh and the room that my husband and I stayed at on our wedding night was so nice! It was huge and it was really nice to have a spot right next door to freshen up after the ceremony and photos before heading to the reception. Overall couldn't say enough good things about The Mansion at Bald Hill!

    Incredible wedding venue!

    My husband and I got married at the Mansion at Bald Hill on October 20, 2019, and we had the wedding of our dreams!! The ceremony, reception and cocktail hour sites were so beautiful! Janet was so accomodating leading up to our wedding and was there for us throughout our day. She even held my dress behind me when I started walking down the aisle and the guests said they never knew she was there! The food was delicious, the portion sizes were great and the overall experience was everything we ever hoped for. I could not recommend this venue enough!!!

    Picture Perfect Venue!

    The venue was the first thing I booked after my engagement. I was looking for a modern rustic venue that held everything on site. I had looked at about 7 or 8 venues until I found the Mansion at Bald Hill. The drive to the venue was gorgeous and as soon as we pulled up to this beautiful mansion, I knew this was where we were going to get married. We held our rehearsal dinner in the mansion, the ceremony was in the beautiful garden on the grounds and cocktail hour and reception was in the AMAZING hall next to the mansion. Everything being all together was perfect and all the guests loved it. Janet was so great to work with, and she is amazing at what she does. She made sure the night was flawless and everything went perfectly. All my guests are still talking about how good the food was, and the entire atmosphere was beautiful. The Mansion at Bald Hill gave me the wedding of my dreams and there’s not one bad thing I could say!
