Glen Magna was truly absolute perfection. We had our wedding in early August, and the flowers were magnificent! The grounds, the house, the tent, it was all just incredibly beautiful. The staff at Glen Magna were also incredible from everything leading up to the wedding to the wedding day. They were attentive, responsive, and made everything in my vision come true. The catering was also exceptional. People are still bringing up the food at our wedding. And, working with the caterers was an exceptional experience, too. The variety of options was amazing, and the food was actually delicious. Everyone thought so! If I could change anything about Glen Magna, it would be to do it all over again! I cannot say enough about the staff, the building, the grounds, the ambiance, the food, etc., etc., etc. Thank you, Glen Magna, for allowing me to have a wedding that exceeded my dreams!

I would highly recommend having your wedding here. The venue is unique but practical. The garden is stunning and the mansion has so many amazing spots for guests to hang out and for wedding portraits.
In addition to being a stunning venue, the staff at Glen Magna goes above and beyond. From our first venue tour all the way through the wedding planning process the GM staff was accessible, responsive, and willing to provide advice when we asked.
On the day of our wedding, we had Tiffini White as our day of coordinator and there was not one detail missed or left out. As a bride I felt like I could fully enjoy my day and not worry about the little details because Tiffini was on top of everything. She & the rest of the GM staff made sure that we and our families had everything that we needed throughout the day. They are truly exceptional!
There was a small chance of rain leading up to our wedding day and Tiffini was extremely helpful and supportive in navigating the best options to make sure that we could get married in the garden. I am so glad that we picked Glen Magna as our venue and I highly recommend it.

We worked directly with Heather before officially booking for our August 2024 wedding, and Tiffini was the key person in making our wedding run extra smooth leading up to and on the day of. Her experience in the wedding industry and solid advice she gave during the decision-making process made us feel confident we had chosen the right venue and was gifted the best talent to execute our dream fairytale wedding. My husband and I are very particular, and she listened to and met every one of our needs. Not only is she very patient and understanding, but her attention to detail, organization and ability to delegate (even the rowdiest, unorganized of crowds), is impressive. She didn’t miss a beat, and I’m grateful to have had someone take the lead so I could relax… what every bride needs! You will be in wonderful hands booking Glen Magna for your next event! Highly recommend this venue and commend the coordinators for all the work they do! Thank you Glen Magna, and thank you Tiffini!

We knew we were in good hands from day 1. The grounds are perfectly maintained and created the perfect Fall Garden vibe we wanted. Heather was kind, communicated quickly, and helped us with any questions. Our assigned event coordinator, Ellen Christopoulos, made sure every little detail was perfect. Harmony and her team, from Vinwood Caterers, made sure we were well fed and always had drinks in our hands. The reception tent was nice and cozy on a chilly October evening. We had an intimate wedding of no more than 50 people, and the layout of the tent gave everyone the space to breath, but did not feel empty. To say the day was absolute perfection would be an understatement.

Glen Magna Farms was the perfect location for our July 2024 wedding. The venue is gorgeous and allows for an all-in-one experience, with the beautiful garden for the ceremony and tent for the reception.
Samantha McHugh was our coordinator, and she went above and beyond. Working with Sam was our favorite part of selecting Glen Magna as our venue. She was responsive, prompt, and so helpful with some of the last touches of our planning and on the day of. We went with the decor package, and Sam did an amazing job setting up all of our personal touches which really made the day so great. She even helped us with calling another vendor when we had an issue at the end of the night. She truly was a huge part of our day being so amazing!
Thank you Sam and the whole Glen Magna team!

Pause. Stop doom scrolling trying to find a perfect venue and read this. Yes! I was once you. A lost newly engaged bride trying to find a place that matched our vibe, style, and taste. The type of someone who would use an Oxford comma, you know what I mean? Anyway. Glen Magna is the only choice if you're looking for a beautiful botanical garden, a historical coastal estate, a tented spring wedding, and OH MY GOD the wisteria. Book the time of year when the wisteria is growing on the pergola. Everyone was extremely responsive and professional. They provided us with many options if the weather was not great, but luckily we didn't have to utilize those options. The grounds, the mansion, everything was a perfect backdrop. We are grateful, Glen Magna. You provided us with incredible memories and we THANK YOU!

We had our wedding here this past weekend and we cannot say enough good things about this venue and their employees. Heather was super helpful and we knew right away that we were in good hands with her. She made us feel at ease and really showed her expertise and knowledge in every part of the process. The venue itself is extremely beautiful and the tent was decorated exactly how we imagined. Really made our day truly magical. Thank you so much!

I fell in love with this venue the first time I saw it, which was in the dead of winter! Even with nothing yet in bloom I could picture exactly how my wedding would look and how magical Glen Magna would make it. At my first visit when I confirmed that the pricing and amenities were accurate to what I was seeing online I almost cried I was so happy and relieved after dealing with a number of other venues with hidden fees etc. The team at Glen Magna is so straight forward and accommodating. The venue is absolutely incredible. We actually had rain on our wedding day and our coordinator Sam did everything she could to make sure we could get our picturesque ceremony in the garden, which we did and it was even more enchanting with the weather. Vinwood catering was also amazing and we had a great experience all the way from the tasting, to altering the menu to the staff and food on the day itself. If you're looking for a beautiful garden wedding with an incredible 11 acre property and stunning historical home I cannot say enough good things about Glen Magna. I'm so happy we found it and would relive that day over and over again if we could!

Glen Magna Farms is a uniquely “Secret Garden-esquire” venue and it’s absolutely breathtaking. Heather did a great job of making sure we felt informed about all of the decisions we were making and kept in touch with us about important action items regularly. The tent we had our reception in was spacious, warm (despite the rain that day), and decorated beautifully. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was that I thought communication around the rain plan could have been better. Our original rain plan was to have the ceremony and cocktail hour in a smaller tent, and then our reception in the main tent. On the day of the wedding, it rained and we were informed that the policy had changed two weeks before, and we were no longer permitted to have two bars (one in the smaller tent and one in the larger/reception tent). It would have been nice for this change to be communicated beforehand, as most people prefer to have their cocktail hour and reception in two separate locations. While they ended up accommodating our request for the two bars in the end, the lack of communication about this change until the day of the wedding caused unnecessary stress and tension. Nonetheless we were pleased with our experience overall and had an amazing wedding day, thanks to Glen Magna’s hard work!

Grateful for every Paige Plourde did for us before and during our wedding day to make it a success. We had a highly stressful situation of changing our date and they were able to do a partial refund and get us the date we wanted! I highly recommend this venue for a romantic, timeless, and garden-themed wedding. My husband and I are thankful for everything the crew and GMF did to walk us through planning. It doesn't hurt that the catering service they work with has gourmet food. Such a perfect venue, with reasonable prices for what you get. We toured many places, but even in the middle of winter, Glen Magna is the most stunning, private, and perfect.

All we can say is WOW!! The Glen Magna crew was outstanding. They were helpful, flexible and professional. They understood what was needed and also gave a few opinions on the decorations that really helped with our decisions. We could not have asked for better service or location.
Glen Magna Farms was an absolute perfect venue. Our venue coordinator, Sam, was extremely accommodating, helpful, and made working with her so simple. She did everything she could and more, to make sure our day was perfect.
The grounds are beautiful, and they were able to accommodate everything our wedding needed. The tent itself was enchanting. Complete with gorgeous string lighting, beautifully dressed tables, chairs, and place settings. The dance floor was reasonably sized and the space had easy access to and from the mansion/bathrooms. The extensive grounds made it easy for guests to spread out and enjoy the beautiful gardens and take in a dream-like environment.
Everyone fell in love with the venue and all of its scenic backgrounds . We took some beautiful pictures and gained loving memories that we will treasure forever. If you want a perfect venue with professional and friendly service.......choose Glen Magna Farms!!!

We fell in love right away with this space! We worked with both Heather and Tiffini and they were rockstars. From the very beginning they were very responsive, answered all our questions and just over all really welcoming. The space speaks for itself with the gardens and the home. If you are looking for a gorgeous outside venue and a charming inside space both packed with amazing photo opportunities then this is your spot. I cannot thank Heather and Tiffini enough as my husband and I both got covid just days before our original wedding date in June and they were so quick to jump in, gave us open dates and helped us move everything to a new date. They honestly helped save our wedding and for that we are so grateful. The day went smoothly, and their team was professional, hospitable, and really took care of us and our guests. If you are between two venues, don’t think about it anymore —this is your venue – you won’t regret it!

Glen Magna Farms is such a special place. The venue felt intimate and magical without being too over the top. We fell in love with the weeping beech in the back and did our First Look there. Samantha, Heather, and the whole Glen Magna team were super easy to work with and made things so easy for us. Everything went seamlessly. The day-of coordination was very helpful on top of having our wedding planner. Thank you GMF for being the perfect setting for our wedding!!!

Our wedding at Glen Magna Farms was truly a dream. Hosting our guests in the beautiful, vibrant gardens was exactly what we wanted, and the grounds are kept impeccably. The tented reception was perfect, from the setup, to the food. We would change absolutely NOTHING about our wedding day at GM.

My husband and I were thrilled to have our wedding at Glen Magna. We got engaged under the beautiful willow tree and knew that we wanted our ceremony and reception to be in the same place. Even in the blooming month of May, the gardens were simply beautiful. The staff was super helpful at creating the vision we were dreaming of, and everything from decor, to catering to the timeline ran smooth. I would recommend Glen Magna to anyone in the area looking for a beautiful garden wedding.

We could not be happier that we chose to get married at Glen Magna Farms! The gardens are truly breathtaking, and walking into the venue feels like you have been transported to another world. We loved having our wedding spaced out in different parts of the property, with the ceremony in the garden, cocktail hour on the lawn behind the house, and then the reception under the included sailcloth tent. The property is impeccably maintained, and our wedding guests enjoyed being able to explore the grounds during our wedding.
Beyond the beautiful property, the inclusions with our rental of Glen Magna were a bonus. We were glad to avoid the extra cost and hassle of sourcing our own tent or tables & chairs. Although we had initially wondered whether the their exclusive catering contract with Vinwood was limiting, we came to see this as a benefit since Vinwood’s longstanding relationship with Glen Magna translated to the catering staff working like a well-oiled machine on our wedding day.
We had easy communication during our planning process with the Glen Magna manager and day-of coordinator. Getting married at Glen Magna Farms felt like we had found a hidden gem of a wedding venue in the Boston area!

We hosted our wedding at Glen Magna and could not have been happier with the venue! The garden was absolutely stunning in August with full blooms and so much color. The house is a wonderful statement piece with lovely rooms inside to take photos in and get ready. We loved that we could host our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all on the grounds. Our guests were so impressed with the venue, it was truly a fairytale garden.
One of the real highlights of working with Glen Magna was Ellen. Ellen was our main liaison leading up to and on the day of our wedding. She was incredibly helpful and responsive and made sure our day was perfect. Ellen was ever present throughout the day, including helping me bustle my very complicated dress not once, but twice! She was truly outstanding and our day would not have run as smoothly without her.
Overall, we are so happy we chose to have our wedding at Glen Magna. It was an incredible venue for a magical wedding day.

If you are looking for a venue for your wedding that is romantic, timeless, and professional. Seriously, look no further. Glen Magna has been hosting weddings for YEARS and still isn't known by many which made our wedding that much more special. This breathtaking venue is tucked away, down a long gravel road, surrounded by beautiful gardens. The opportunities for photos are EVERYWHERE. The pergola is the perfect location for that whimsical ceremony, the tent for a moody candle lit evening, and the mansion as your rich focal point. They work exclusively with Vinwood caterers who blew us out of the water with their HOT and FLAVORFUL apps and entrees. Heather was our point of contact and day of coordinator and without her I don't know if our day would have been as special as it was. She was extremely professional, gave spectacular advice, and even provided us with personal photos she took behind the scenes. It may seem silly because although they aren't professional photos they gave us the guest perspective of our day which brought smiles to our faces as we could see how beautiful everything truly was.
We are so grateful for her, the Vinwood team, and the ground keepers of the property. If it wasn't for them, none of our greatest memories would have been made possible.

We cannot say enough good things about Glen Magna. So many guests told us what a beautiful place and wedding it was. My cousin got married at another venue on the North Shore and commented that she couldn't believe that Glen Magna existed and it was the best venue on the North Shore! Heather made everything run seamlessly, we weren't worried about a thing for setup, break down, etc. The food was delicious, especially the hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour. The gardens in late August are just incredible -- everything is blooming with so much color. If you're looking for a garden wedding, Glen Manga is for you. It is so charming and beautiful, all our guests were thrilled.
Not only is it a stunning location, but their staff went above and beyond to help us reschedule our wedding during Covid. We were supposed to get married at Glen Magna in June 2020, but delayed until August 2020 because of Covid. When it became clear that August 2020 would still not be safe for a large wedding, we postponed until August 2021. Glen Magna worked with us to easily and seamlessly move our wedding TWICE, and never changed the pricing. They then allowed us to hold a short, family-only ceremony under the tent in August 2020, and let us use their tables and chairs. It poured during that ceremony so we held it under the tent, but their day-of staff (Paige) held an umbrella over me while I walked down the aisle. The ceremony is still beautiful under the tent because the gardens make a lovely backdrop, so your rainy day back up is set and seamless.
We cannot recommend Glen Magna enough. Their customer service is exceptional and the charm and beauty of the venue just cannot be beat.

This was the absolute perfect wedding venue for my spouse and I. When searching through we didn’t think the photos online appealed to us very much, but walking around the beautiful house and grounds, we knew it would be exactly what we wanted. But we were still so blown away the day of after all the tables, decorations, and everything else was put into place. We are still to this day talking about how no other venue could have lived up. Many guests said the same thing, they all said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they’ve ever been to, and so many of them were running around exploring the house and various garden paths to snap as many photos as they could. The romantic garden was exceptional for our ceremony, the house and grassy lawn brought the unique flair for cocktail hour, and the cozy tent surrounded by flowers and brick walls was absolutely stunning. Our coordinator Sam knocked it out of the park – she was extremely responsive and was great about reaching out to vendors for the things we didn’t know how to handle. There were hardly any hiccups and if there were any bigger issues, Sam must have taken care of it because I didn’t hear or notice a thing! They also impressed me with the speed of the cleanup – we went from a full tent and decorations everywhere to everything in our cars ready to go in about 45 min. Wonderful and professional venue, my spouse and I will always treasure using this for our wedding – Thank you Glen Magna!

Staff at Glen Magna Farms was a pleasure to work with. We had postponed our wedding a year due to COVID with a different venue and ultimately canceled with them due to the uncertainty of everything. We found Glen Magna Farms last minute and reached out to them for just an intimate ceremony at that point and they were able to accommodate an intimate ceremony and reception at such short notice (2-3 mos). Tiffini was great to work with! She was flexible, responsive, professional and was even able to help us in making last minute decisions regarding both the ceremony and reception. She has experience and it definitely showed through the process. All we had to do the day of was to show up. We appreciate everything she did to make our day special! ❤

Like most COVID-19 couples, we didn't know what to expect or what would be possible for a scaled-down wedding during a pandemic. We had reservations with another venue and less than a month before our wedding date, we booked with Glen Magna Farms. From that moment on, everything seemed possible. The location is out of a fairy tale (trust us, go visit the large Willow Tree they have on their property) and our guests could walk amongst the gardens and grounds to socially distance when necessary. The staff were incredible, keeping us up-to-date and on schedule during the reception. Right now, everyone is more comfortable outside and Glen Magna has a wonderful tent that allowed us to have 50 guests (including us!) plus their staff, our photographer, DJ, etc. We didn't feel the pandemic "looming over us" at all; instead, we got to have a beautiful wedding at what may be the most gorgeous venue Greater Boston offers. Walk the grounds (it's free to visit) and book a wedding in 2020. It's an absolutely stunning place!

The most perfect, natural, unique, gorgeous, spacious wedding venue ever ! Most weddings seem the same: church, hall with tables that is claustrophobic and dull. NOT a wedding at Glen Magna ! Here you have an incredible historic mansion, gorgeous gardens, nature all around, the roomy tent with romantic lighting (no ugly fluorescent). If you want SPECIAL or UNIQUE for your wedding - GLEN MAGNA is your answer !

Our coordinator, Heather served as the ultimate professional - keeping communication throughout the planning process clear and easy and everything running smoothly on the day of the wedding. We were able enjoy the wedding and stay present and happy, knowing that Heather and Harmony (from Vinwood) were taking care of every behind-the-scene detail. We wish our wedding could have lasted 5 hours longer! It was perfect and beautiful. We cannot recommend Glen Magna enough.

My husband and I got married at Glen Magna Farms on 8/17/19 and it was a perfect day!! From our very first meeting at the venue, we knew we wanted to have our wedding here. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking and the flowers were so lush the day of the wedding! I received so many compliments from my wedding guests on how gorgeous the venue was and how well executed the entire day turned out - thanks to Tiffini! Tiffini was so professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with - I couldn't imagine the day without her! She was there every step of the way months leading up to our wedding day. She is so attentive to detail, organized, and receptive - she was absolute perfection! I sincerely appreciated her "plan B" in case the weather didn't work in our favor - luckily, it was a perfect day! Thank you Glen Magna and Tiffini for making my wedding day dreams come true!! I would whole heartedly recommend this venue to anyone!!

We can't say enough good things about the venue and our wedding coordinator Heather! Everything went so smoothly, from the planning process to the rehearsal and then the day of the wedding. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the gardens are beautifully maintained as is the inside of the house. The gardens were a beautiful location for our ceremony, though one thing that sold us on the venue was the fact that the back up location inside the house is also very pretty. Everyone who worked at the venue did an amazing job of making sure everyone had a great time. They provided a great list of recommended vendors to help us start our planning. Leading up to the wedding, they were able to answer all of our questions and help guide us through the overwhelming process of wedding planning. Heather worked directly with our vendors to make sure all our important moments throughout the evening were perfectly coordinated and planned. Everything went perfectly and we couldn't have asked for a better venue or a better group of people to make our wedding day so amazing!

Glen Magna Farms is a beauty to behold and a fantastic space to host a wedding.
The perennial garden is what sold us on the venue, but it is complimented well by the historic mansion and recently-added permanent tent setup.
The team at Glen Magna was great to work with, both on communication and day-of. Since the site is owned by the Danvers Historical Society, there are a few restrictions, but everything was understandable and none of them took away from our wedding day.
The venue also pairs with Vinwood for their Catering and Bar services. If you have your heart set on a specific vendor for this its not great, but for us it was one less thing to worry about and the Vinwood team produces some amazing meals.
We would definitely recommend this venue for any couple, especially those looking for a more historic, garden-party atmosphere.

The pictures of Glen Magna don't do much to convey the magic of this place. The grounds and gardens are perfectly preserved and manicured, everything is green, lush and colorful, even the little gravel isles are raked. The amount of care that goes into this place is super evident. Heather, the venue coordinator, was such a pleasure to work with. She was very prompt, helpful and extremely pleasant. We planned our wedding ourselves and Heather made it so much easier. Now, let me just tell you about how epic our wedding was... The day was sunny and beautiful, so we had our ceremony in the garden, our guests couldn't believe the setting around them, flowers and greenery everywhere. Our cocktail hour was on the lawn, in addition to the permanent reception tent, we rented a smaller tent for the bar, photo booth and some lounge seating, our guests again were blown away by the setting and how organized everything was. The reception tent is beautiful and backs up to the garden, so the guests still get to enjoy the views. The day of was run perfectly smoothly, if anything was amiss, Heather took care it without me ever knowing. My husband and I wish we could just buy Glen Magna and live there forever. Our guests have been sending us notes, emails and texts, they are still blown away about how beautiful everything was and how wonderfully organized the whole event was. Which is a testament to Heather's professionalism.

We could not have chosen a better venue than Glen Magna Farms. They now have a permanent tent with a concrete floor, and it fits 200 people. Everything about Glen Magna was beautiful - the gardens and flowers, the house, the tent. Our wedding coordinator, Heather Palm, was extraordinary. When we first met her, I thought she was so knowledgeable and she definitely knew all the ins and outs. She even had some great advice for us! She also was there all night making sure everything went smoothly, which I was so grateful for. The entire night was perfect, and she definitely ensured that. Additionally, photos at Glen Magna were beautiful. It provided a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. Everyone was impressed with the venue. The best part was, even in the tent, it was not that hot out for an August wedding. We could not have picked a better venue or staff to work with.

My husband and I were recently married, this past Labor Day weekend, and it was beyond INCREDIBLE!! We cannot say enough positive things about Glen Magna Farms! The venue was absolutely breathtaking between the pristine landscaping, flowers, and fabulous new tent, which only added to our perfect day! We got married under the Pergola, which was like a dream come true! Our guests couldn’t believe how magical Glen Magna was and many said “It was the most beautiful wedding venue they have ever been to”. Not only was the venue spectacular, but our Wedding Coordinator, Tiffini White was hands down an absolute ROCK STAR, as she went above and beyond during the course of the night! Tiffini was incredibly attentive towards myself, my husband, my parents, and in laws, as she constantly checked in to make sure that we had everything we needed. Not only did Tiffini help immensely throughout the night, but she also took the time to assist in packing up ALL of the event decorations so they were ready to be loaded back in the car once the wedding ended. In addition, to helping with the packing of all the decorations, Tiffini recognized that the transportation of decorations was going to be a little difficult, so she sprung into action and drove her own car back to the hotel with a number of our items that we couldn’t fit into our own car! We HIGHLY recommend Glen Magna Farms as well as Tiffini White for your special day! As it relates to a catering service, we would HIGHLY recommend Vinwood Caterers! Vinwood’s food and service was absolutely outstanding and they are without a doubt the best catering company in the state of Massachusetts! Not only was the food and service second to none, but the level of support and attention to detail that they provided during the planning process, which carried throughout the wedding was unbelievable!

Glen Magna was the perfect setting for our June wedding. From the beautiful house, the gorgeous grounds, and the tent, it completely exceeded our expectations. We really liked being able to have our cocktail hour outside, and that guests could explore the property. When it came time for the reception, the event coordinator, Tiffini, did an AMAZING job. Everything was so organized and on time - it was such a relief for us, and the day could not have gone more smoothly. The food from Vinwood was also fantastic, and we could not have been more pleased with everything. All of our guests commented to us how stunning the venue was, and still rave about it to this day. If you pick Glen Magna for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

After looking at a few venues, as soon as I saw Glen Magna Farms I knew it was something special. The gardens are so lush and beautiful and the mansion is just gorgeous. My photographer was having a field day because everywhere she turned there was new beautiful backdrop to have in our pictures. We were lucky to have Tiffini as our day of coordinator. She was amazing!! There were a few glitches on the day of but I had no idea because she took care of all of them without me knowing. We are so thankful we found Glen Magna and chose it for our wedding venue!!

Beautiful location and outstanding staff. We worked with Heather- she was incredibly organized and on top of everything, which allowed us to relax and really enjoy the day. Our guests complimented the amazing flower garden ceremony as well as the rest of the grounds. Very happy with our choice to get married here! Highly recommend this venue!

I got married here in July of 2017 and it could not have been a more perfect venue. The pictures were stunning because of all of the vibrant colors in the trees and flowers. The house on the property is also gorgeous in photos. My guests were raving on the day of and when they saw my photos because for some reason, this venue is one of the lesser known ones. Tiffini coordinated the day for us and was so helpful, even dealing with a no-show ceremony pianist without even letting me know until the problem was solved. I can't say enough about how fantastic this venue is. If you want outdoors/tent and you're looking for an elegant garden setting, Glen Magna is a perfect choice.

We LOVED having our wedding at Glen Magna Farms! We worked with Robin, who was so sweet, responsive, and knowledgeable- she really helped us to have the wedding of our dreams. We couldn't believe how well she handled everything and allowed us to relax and enjoy our day. The property itself is a dream; beautiful, elegant, and romantic, it is the perfect setting for a fairy-tale wedding. We were married in the flower garden in June with perfect weather and couldn't have imagined anything better. Thank you so much Robin and Glen Magna!! We only wished we could have spent more time there- our wedding flew by!

My husband and I got married at Glen Magna Farms in June and we are still getting comments about what an incredible venue we selected! This place is truly a secret gem of the North Shore (pictures on this site do not do it justice)! The staff are very pleasant to work with, the grounds are beautiful, and the house is a cool space for guests who are interested in history. Each time I went to visit the venue before our event, it took my breath away. Definitely would recommend this venue for other couples!

First of all, the pictures online do NOT do this place justice. Its carefully curated gardens, lush greenery and beautiful estate are absolutely breathtaking in person. My husband and I immediately knew we wanted to get married under the pergola in the garden! For our wedding, we had Heather as our coordinator. She was extremely professional, organized and responsive. I am a bit of a control freak, but I was totally comfortable handing her the reins on my wedding day. Everything went off without a hitch, Heather ensured my husband and I always had everything we needed and that all of our things were in their proper places, and often completed necessary tasks before I had even thought to do them. This property is absolutely magical and Heather is as good as it gets. All of my guests are still telling me it's the best wedding they've ever been to!

My husband and I recently got married at Glen Magna Farms this past September and they had beyond exceeded our expectations in every way. From our first visit the Venue, completely mesmerized us as it did to each of our guests on our big day. The beautiful historic estate is hidden away surrounded by so many fun and unique gardens/coves on the grounds. Which made for breathtaking photos.
Heather and Robin were great and very helpful. Robin was our wedding coordinator the day of our wedding and she was amazing! She ensured everything went smoothing and kept my day stress free. Our day couldn’t have been more perfect and it had a lot to do with the great team and beautiful grounds at Glen Magna Farms.
I would highly recommend any couple to visit Glen Magna Farms because I guarantee they will walk away just as mesmerized as my Husband and I were.

Great wedding venue. Had our wedding at Glen Magna in August 2014. The venue was quiet and spacious. It was nice to be outdoors. Guests loved the venue.
The venue manager/on site coordinator Heather King was very helpful with planning and the day of. Very straightforward. Provided us honest advice. Steers you away from bad vendors or unnecessary expenses.

When my wife and I decided to take a look at Glen Magna, we instantly fell in love. This was the first and last place that we looked. Everything was beautiful, the grounds were amazing, the beauty of the property was more than we could ask for. Heather King was amazing, every. single. detail that she took care of was incredible. One note, you do have to understand that she only works 35 hours a week, so you can't freak out if she doesn't get back instantly (like all of us Gen Yers want), but she is extremely responsive. She kept everything in line, took care of every detail and the place was amazing. Glen Magna is like a hidden gem in Danvers, NONE of my guests knew what the property looked like and they all loved it. This place is a photographer's dream too and my guests raved about all of the shots and selfies they were able to get. Love, love, love this place. Also, try Vinwood catering, they work so seamlessly with Glen Magna!

I stumbled across Glen Magna after researching wedding venues on The Knot. As soon as I saw it on that beautiful day in August, I knew it was "the one"! We did not want a traditional ballroom wedding and this was perfect. Historic, beautiful mansion that looks like it's from Gone With The Wind. Manicured lawns and breathtaking gardens. The entire venue has character. Ceremony in the garden under the columns of the pergola that's covered by very old wisteria, cocktail hour on the lawn and in the house, and dinner/dancing al fresco in the tent. Heather King was our coordinator from there and she was amazing: experienced, professional, calming. The property is part of the National Historic Society so it is nonprofit and the $ goes back into restoring the property...this made us feel good about where our money was going. This venue is a hidden gem.

What a place!!! This Venue was amazing inside out. Heather was amazing very knowledgeable, she make sure everything ran smooth. I had my ceremony and my reception at the same place but it felt like it was two different venues. This place has so much to look at and visit all around within the venue.

Let's face it, not all of us have been dreaming and planning our wedding since the age of 6 and pinterest can be overwhelming! Where do you even start, right?
Beaches and banquet venues are lovely, but we were looking for something that would leave a lasting impression on our guests.
Glen Magna Farms, nestled in Danvers, MA was the perfect setting for us. One of my favorite guest comments was, "I grew up in Danvers, and never even knew this place existed. Even though we were close to home, it felt like a different world."
Our coordinator was Heather King, who also serves as the Director of Events for the venue. She was remarkable. Her attention to detail paired with years of experience made for a stress-fee day.
They say seeing is believing and if you're like me, the website isn't going to cut it for you. We're happy to share a snip it of our wedding video so you can get a feel for the venue! (This is not spam, there is no inappropriate content, there is no virus, this is just a bride sharing a portion of her day with you!) https://vimeo.com/100590033
Good luck, Brides to Be!!

I had my wedding at Glen Magna a few weeks ago and it was pretty much perfect. The gardens are beautiful and made for a great outdoor ceremony. We didn't need to use it, but they have a really great indoor option for the ceremony as well if the weather doesn't work out. We had dinner in the house so everyone could explore the historic mansion. The veranda worked great for the dancing afterwards. There are endless great places to take pictures outside as well.
Heather was very helpful every step of the way. She suggested other vendors to use that were familiar with Glen Magna, coordinated before the wedding with all our vendors and then kept everything running smoothly during our wedding. She was very accessible through email for any questions as well.

This beautiful mansion has charm, elegance and a superior staff of coordinators to help you through your day. Ours was Paige who stayed solid and on top of everything from start to finish. We got everything we had hoped for and for on our wedding day at Glen Magna Farms. We had an outdoor ceremony under the arbor in the garden. Absolutely beautiful!!
Thanks Paige for being so fantastic! We were in good hands and didn't have to worry about a single thing.

I would absolutely recommend Glen Magna Farms for any bride looking to get married in Massachusetts. The venue is absolutely stunning, and the staff handled every last detail and were incredibly attentive and accommodating in helping to create my dream wedding. When I look back on my wedding day, and the beautiful pictures taken at the venue, I am so grateful to have chosen this location. My family and friends are still raving about how beautiful and intimate our wedding was. Hands down the best decision I made in the planning process!!!

Our wedding could not have gone better. Thanks to Heather and her staff the wedding was run seamlessly. When I got hot on the dance floor and asked a waiter to take care of opening another tent flap, it was done almost immediately. Heather came by to see how everything was going but somehow managed to stay completely in the background. In the beginning, it was a little hard to get in contact with the venue since there is not someone there at the phone during all business hours. However, once I had the venue booked, I was less antsy about hearing back immediately so this was not a problem. The garden was absolutely beautiful and the grounds are meticulously cared for. Heather was able to answer all of my questions as I went through the process and with her amount of experience was able to put all of my nerves to rest. She was very flexible with requests that I had to drop off certain things before the wedding and even helped me with some last minute table-runner cutting. I would definitely recommend this venue!
