Harding Allen Estate

me. On our wedding day they really tended to our every need. This venue really goes above and beyond. They offer so much more than other venues. When booking your wedding you also have the option to rent out rooms at the estate. The estate also has a bridal party hair and makeup house (called the rose cottage). At the estate it is set up with a grooms man wing and a bridal wing with the Spanish room meeting at the center. So you and your bridesmaids get ready at the rose cottage and then head over to the garden room in the bridal wing. This room has glass windows that can overlook when your guests arrive for your ceremony. I love it! Jasmine allowed us an early checking for hair and makeup at the rose cottage and from the second we arrived she was on it! Bringing up fruit plates and wine/champagne (which you order in advance but it is reasonable). This alone was so nice. No need to get ready at a hotel and shuttle the wedding party over. I brought quite a bit of decorations and the Harding Allen Estate team did a fantastic job at setting this all up, this included my own plates and cups which they washed and repackage. I was shocked to find all my decorations were wrapped the exact way I brought them. There was so much attention to detail. We also had a few food allergies and they were able to accommodate for both the wedding and the rehearsal dinner, and it was delicious! We used the in house catering because we had a smaller wedding. This is truly a family run establishment, some of the people on staff who weren’t related to Jasmine and Suzy were also related. It truly felt like a family, the staff was so kind and respectful. For the wedding we used DJ fusion who has done many weddings at the Estate and he did a great job. For photographer we used Amanda Adams Photography (the pictures attached to this review are screen shots from our wedding video, just a family member with a camera. Amanda shot one of them which is pretty easy to tell which one). Jasmine does a fantastic job and two weeks before your wedding you’re really a priority for her and she does respond pretty quickly but if its prior to 2 weeks before your wedding you may have to wait for a response. Honestly getting married at the Harding Allen Estate was the best decision we made. It was such a dream. I think this is going to be one of the top wedding venues in New England, especially with all the extras you get (bridal hair and makeup area, after party for you and the guests staying at the venue, vintage car, beautiful separate cocktail, ceremony and reception areas, the gardens, the breakfast the next morning). I highly recommend this venue.

ul throughout the planning process, including easing our worries as we had originally booked with the previous owners. Jasmine has a warm, bubbly presence that would put any bride at ease, and their mother-daughter duo had major Gilmore Girls vibes. The caterer they work with Artisan Chef Catering was delicious and also very easy to work with. My husband and I live in California so we did a lot of our planning from a distance, and Jasmine made it so easy, working with us and my parents to help plan out the details. Our wedding had 200 people and didn't feel crowded due to the spacious grounds and massive ballroom, and it was wonderful to have access to all the rooms/grounds at the estate. We had guests from all over the country and even a few from overseas and many of them complimented the beautiful, unique space of the estate and the scenic oasis from Worcester/Boston. The location may seem rural, but we had no problem setting up a hotel block at the AC Hotel in Worcester and arranging a guest shuttle to the wedding. The venue is beautiful and well maintained. The ceremony site is perfect for weddings big and small, with a secret garden feel tucked away behind the building. I loved seeing our guests arrive from the bridal suite. Lush gardens made our portraits pop and our guests enjoyed taking photos near the fountain. Day of, Jasmine was a great coordinator and made sure everything ran smoothly. She gave great advice throughout the planning process and helped with details we hadn't thought of; she clearly has a lot of experience in the business despite her young age! I'm sure planning weddings here will only get better and better, as they are continually making improvements to the property. My husband and I have attended many weddings and it is hard to find a venue that is as much of the complete package as The Harding Allen Estate. Future couples, if you are looking for an easy team to work with, a beautiful fairytale/old hollywood setting and a large space to accommodate all your friends and family, the Harding Allen Estate is for you. Thank you HAE for the perfect day. (photos from our photographer AKPhotography)
