Glen Magna Farms

oordinator, 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.

d 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!

e 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!!

he rest of the grounds. Very happy with our choice to get married here! Highly recommend this venue!

aving 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.

o 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!

re 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!

a 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!

he 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.

e day of. Very straightforward. Provided us honest advice. Steers you away from bad vendors or unnecessary expenses.

r. 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!

nsion 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.

s so much to look at and visit all around within the venue.

d 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!!

ing about how classy the venue was!

he 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.

ng 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.

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!!!

ame 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!

d ever been to. They told us for weeks how wonderful it was. Granted, I'm sure just about every newlywed couple hears that, but we made people sign an affidavit swearing it was true. We chose the venue for the gardens. We planned an outdoor ceremony under the pergola, wanted to get pictures of our wedding party by that cool tree and enjoy summer cocktails on the veranda. And then the torrential downpour of rain came and that plan went out the window! When planning an outdoor wedding, you obviously have your A plan and your B plan. And for as smoothly as everything went you never would have known the Glen Magna staff was working Plan B. Heather King was our coordinator and Paige was there to assist her. They did an amazing job! They also had to accommodate 135 guests in the drawing room for the Plan B ceremony, which worked out quite well. It definitely made for a more intimate, personal ceremony. When we were standing on the veranda watching the pouring rain and waiting to move into the tent for introductions, we asked Heather (who looked like she just went swimming her hair was so wet) if we had the worst wedding in terms of weather that she’s ever seen. She said top five. It was pretty bad! The staff was absolutely unbelievable. They got wet while keeping our guests dry and everything went off just like it was supposed to. Once under the tent it was as if it wasn’t even raining. And even in the rain everyone had wonderful things to say about the venue. They thought the house itself was gorgeous and the grounds were beautiful…soaked, but beautiful. If Glen Magna can host the best wedding my guests have ever been to in the weather we had, then I think any couple can be confident planning their wedding with them! Aside from the amazing work they did during our event, the staff is also easy to work with throughout the planning process. And overall Glen Magna is very affordable. I think the biggest cost saver is the fact that they don’t have a liquor license. You provide your own alcohol and your caterer hosts the bar. We worked with Kappys – they assist you in determining how much alcohol to order then buy back anything you don’t use. After getting prices from various venues, this is without a double the most affordable way to go if you want open bar all night. So in conclusion, Glen Magna is beautiful and the amazing staff can pull off the best wedding ever in a massive downpour.

ent!!!! The grounds are so beautiful, our friends and family were amazed. The gardens are always perfect, it was a main draw for us. The price is right for the setting, and the house speaks for itself! <3 GMF

were breathtaking, the coordinator, Robin, was wonderful, and everything was perfect (even the severe rain storm threats held off all night!). I am amazed at how many of our guests have told us that our wedding was the best they have ever attended and the most beautiful as well, thanks to Glen Magna Farms!

e emergency lights were on, and every detail I had planned had to be changed at the last moment. Robin and Heather and all the staff worked so hard to make my wedding a success. They went out and bought candles, they got generators, they got umbrellas... Even though not one single thing went as I had had planned, it was a beautiful wedding and all my guests loved it! The power came back on, the storm died down and we danced in the drawing room and on the verandah! It was a perfect wedding, and without the hard work and scrambling by the people of Glen Magna, it could have been a total disaster. It is a beautiful spot, with a great crew. If you are having your wedding here, use Vinwood Caterer in Ipswich, and use CZone in Natick as your DJ. They were the BEST team ever!

ppens to you. The ceremony was moved indoors and everyone loved it. I walked down the grand staircase and we got married in front of the french doors looking out on the back lawn. Thankfully the drizzling slowed down when people were heading to the tent outside and we were still able to take advantage of all the grounds for the pictures. Heather, the coordinator, was really helpful. The day of my wedding she managed everything and I didn't have to worry one bit. It's not the cheapest venue, but it's worth every penny. We were able to get the alcohol on consignment, so we only paid for what people drank, but paid liquor store prices, not bar prices. That alone saved thousands. The caterer list is short, but it's a great list. The vendor lists they provide make it so easy to find all the different vendors you need. Trust me, go visit this place it's great if you're looking for a romantic, elegant, and outdoorsy wedding.

planned out perfectly. The place was beautiful, clean and made for amazing pictures. All my family and friends were so impressed and said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We had a backup rain plan that thankfully we didn't need but it was comforting knowing they had all scenarios covered. I would highly recommend having your wedding here if you want an outdoor garden wedding and your guest count is around 100 people. It is the prefect small venue for a dream wedding!

(some of the historic houses give you use of the grounds and a carriage house, but no access to the actual larger home itself). We had both the ceremony reception on-site, which made everything so easy logistically. Our day-of coordinator, Heather, was great. She kept the day running smoothly and went above and beyond to make sure all of the DIY details were taken care of.

y great places to take photographs. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because they have a vendor list for catering in which you have to pick one caterer from a list of about 5. So you can't find a caterer yourself which makes it tough if you are on a tight budget.
