I cannot recommend getting married here enough. Not only is the venue absolutely gorgeous but laura is the best person to work with. Our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was served piping hot and fresh and absolutely delicious! !! The venue is also absolutely stunning eith the most gorgeous water view and gardens. The weather was very touch and go on our day but laura had plans for everything so much so I didn't even notice the switches and was totally uncovered by the weather!!! My family and friends cannot stop talking about how great our wedding was and we owe it all to laura, Fireside Catering and the estate at moraine farm!!!!!

I am so glad that we decided to get married at The Estate at Moraine Farm. We visited this venue in the dead of winter, and even though the entire venue was covered in snow, we knew that this was the perfect place to get married. On top of the absolutely gorgeous venue, working with Fireside Catering makes the entire wedding process seamless and worry free. Our contact was Laura, and she answered every question we had and held our hand through every decision, every form, and every happy moment - we were so sad to say goodbye to her at the end of the night! On the day of our wedding itself, from the moment we arrived at Moraine, everything was so joyous. The entire staff, from the bartenders, to the attendants, to the wait staff and more all made our day an absolute dream. I want to give an extra big shoutout to our bridal attendant - when we forgot our cake at home, she helped my friends stall me while they drove home to get it! We felt like family with the team at Moraine, and I'd recommend getting married at this dreamy venue to anyone wanting a Boston-area wedding. Thank you again team!!

We are very happy our wedding was at Moraine - the grounds truly speaks for itself and gives you some amazing photos. While we didn't need it, I also appreciated the weather contingency plan as not all venues offer that.
At times, there were some delays in communication (although I have extremely high expectations for this, especially when paying a lot of money), but overall this is an affordable, beautiful wedding venue with staff that does not overlook a single detail.

SO GLAD that we chose Moraine Farm for our wedding! The venue was absolutely beautiful and the staff was great to work with, especially the coordinator Katie. Always responsive to an email or text when I had a quick question and detailed with the planning process so nothing was missed. Our family and friends kept talking about how beautiful the venue was and how kind and helpful all the servers were. Highly recommend!

We LOVED this venue. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, and for our mid-June wedding, the garden was in bloom and peonies were abundant. We were able to keep decor pretty minimal because the venue itself is just so beautiful. Our guests loved the stunning grounds, and everyone we worked with was fantastic. Katie coordinated everything without a hitch, and she was so reassuring when the weather looked iffy (spoiler alert: she was right, it all worked out perfectly). Katie did such a great job guiding us through the process, ensuring the day was organized and running smoothly, and keeping everyone and everything moving. I really got to enjoy the day and not worry about a thing, which I appreciate immensely. Dani made sure my husband and I actually got to eat - and the food was excellent! We got so many compliments on the beautiful space and the delicious food, and we enjoyed every moment. Working with this team was a pleasure every step of the way and we highly recommend The Estate at Moraine Farm!

Moraine Farm is the BEST venue and was absolutely perfect for our Memorial Day Weekend wedding. Katie was amazing to work with, and was very calm and reassuring throughout the entire process. The day-of forecast was for rain, thunderstorms, possible lightning and hail (of course every other day was beautiful), but we had the most amazing day ever and wouldn't change a thing. Driving up to the venue, you turn off a main road in Beverly onto this dirt road - it is filled with rhododendrons and beautiful landscaping, all our guests commented how gorgeous it was leading up to the house. Then, the estate is overlooking a lake and has the most beautiful gardens and lawn, truly everyone was in awe of this perfect venue. We made it work for an outdoor ceremony, Katie and staff were very accommodating during our last minute requests! It thundered and rained during the end of the ceremony, but it made it even more memorable. Cocktail hour on the patio was still able to happen, and the food was DELICIOUS. We had the bacon wrapped scallops, lobster rolls, short rib grilled cheese, spicy cauliflower and black bean tacos for passed apps, and a burrata station. Our guests cleaned out the burrata station, and were raving about the cocktail hour food. We also did the blackberry marg as one of our specialty cocktails and that was a huge hit! Truly, the staff was the most efficient day-of, our bridal attendant Megan anticipated everything we could have needed - we are still in awe and dreaming about the most perfect day. Thank you again to Katie and the entire staff at Moraine Farm for exceeding all of our expectations and giving us the most perfect day to remember <3

We had an incredible experience with our wedding here. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and the flowers were still in bloom even in October! Amy was super easy to work with and we felt totally at ease as she handled every single detail, and worked with us closely to plan everything out. The staff there are top notch and made everything go smoothly on our wedding day. The terrace overlooking the pond is a wonderful setting for the cocktail hour at sunset, and the tent was perfect for the reception. The food is all local farm-to-table dishes and was excellent. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for an outdoor wedding in a beautiful natural setting.

This venue was amazing! Amy is the easiest most fun venue coordinator to work with and so personal. Immediately on meeting her she recalled a friends wedding by name that had happened over 3 years ago. Her attention to detail, knowing each of the vendors we used and making sure that everything we wanted was included was amazing. She’s the best to work with and her staff was so attentive. The whole day we couldn’t believe how friendly and helpful everyone was. The food was incredible and everyone loved everything they ate, cocktails, desserts and of course dinner. We got lucky and had a picturesque day but even visiting in December with the garden not in bloom we could tell it was an amazing place to take pictures and the nature view with the lake are gorgeous. We can’t recommend this place enough, we were so happy to have our wedding here.

We got married at Moraine Farm in August 2021 and it was the most perfect day. We worked with Amy Shore throughout the entire wedding planning process and she did not miss a beat. Everything went so smoothly - the staff was amazing and the attention to detail was absolutely incredible. I can't believe how perfectly they were able to execute our vision! Thank you Amy and Moraine Farm team for all your hard work to make our day a dream come true!!

My husband and I had an absolutely spectacular wedding at Moraine Farms. When our original venue plans fell through just 45 days before the wedding, we quickly scheduled with Moraine Farms and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. Their staff is super organized, attentive, and ready to make this your dream day. I live in Colorado and couldn't see the venue before my wedding, but I was relieved when I heard from my friend who works photo booths for weddings "I've worked hundreds of venues, and Moraine Farms is my favorite. They execute every wedding flawlessly." She was right! The staff and beauty of the grounds would be enough to make me gush, but it was hands down the best wedding food I've ever had. Our guests also cannot say enough about the food and location! Many people have said they felt like they were eating steak the quality of the Capital Grill! I loved Moraine Farms and am so grateful that they hosted our wedding.

We keep saying how we feel like we picked the absolute perfect venue. The setting was gorgeous. We even had to go with our rain plan for the ceremony and it felt so intimate under the tent and still felt like we were outdoors. Amy (the venue coordinator) was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. She even communicated with our vendors directly making everything go smoothly. This is the kind of venue where you really don't have to worry about anything come wedding day because they have already thought of everything and you can just sit back and enjoy the day. Highly recommend!!

Amy was amazing, responsive and so organized, she made the planning process so smooth. Day of, everything went just how we had dreamed, the staff was wonderful and the food was unbelievable (everyone commented on how good everything was). We are so incredibly grateful for everything Amy and the staff did for us to make our day amazing.

Amy at Moraine is a true professional. Her calm and relaxed demeanor paired with her attention detail made her a dream to work with! Between the fields, water, and tent, the grounds created the whimsical experience we were looking for that left our guests raving. Plus the food, did we mention the short rib?! Can't recommend this venue enough.

First off, the Moraine Farm grounds are stunning. The combination of flowering garden, lake views, forested areas, beautiful house, and gorgeous tent is really something. We loved working with Amy! She is incredibly talented and pays attention to all of the details, making wedding planning much easier. I truly don't know how she does it. She did so many little things that surprised me, like reaching out to all of our vendors with the timeline for the day - we thought we would have to do that, but she did it for us! Also, the food by Fireside Catering is delicious - much better than "your typical wedding food." We did a stations-style meal and were really able to showcase our personalities and love for food through our wedding meal. The tent is so beautiful, too! It poured rain on our wedding day and was incredibly hot and humid. Amy and her team did everything they could to execute our wedding without a hitch despite the weather, and we had a blast despite it, as did our guests! We would recommend asking about renting fans for the tent if having a mid-summer wedding - we didn't realize that was an option, and the heat was killer, plus there were a lot of mosquitos. However, that is our only small complaint. This venue is incredible and we definitely recommend it!

There are so many great things to say about the Estate at Moraine Farm, where do we even start? We were first struck by the magnificent view and the beautiful grounds, but working with Amy and the staff really helped us create the perfect event. Don't be scared if it takes Amy a few days to get back to you during wedding season, she is busy helping another couple. Her response will meticulously answer every question you have and she is a delight to work with. There is no need to hire a separate wedding planner as she helps with all of the details, organizes your vendors, and creates expert timelines. We also didn't know how helpful it would be to have day of event staff and attendants, who made sure we always had drinks and food. Moraine took care of everything and we could just focus on enjoying time with our guests. The food was incredible and guests raved that it was the best wedding food they have had. We were nervous about potential rain, but Amy kept us calm and we knew that we were in good hands with an alternative rain plan, had we needed one. We loved exploring the beautiful grounds with our photographer and can't wait to see all of the pictures. We had the absolute best experience and this was largely due to the venue and staff at Moraine Farm - we can't recommend them highly enough!

Moraine Farm was a dream location to have our late May wedding. The Estate itself is breathtaking year round and has the most amazing gardens and views you could ask for. Because the Estate is so beautiful it doesn't require much extra decoration, it's already so special on it's own. Amy was amazing to work with. She was the perfect mix of business and fun which came together to create an amazing experience from beginning to end. Having her support throughout the process made it feel seamless and let us focus on having fun throughout the wedding planning process. Day of the staff at Fireside makes you feel like a rock star. They provided such attention to our individual needs making us both feel so special throughout the whole day. And the food was amazing. It's not often you get to hear guests talk about how they'd like seconds at wedding dinners but ours did!

Moraine Farm was the perfect venue for us. Not only are the groomed and gardened parts of the venue beautiful, but the woods surrounding the area were straight out of a dream. Also, Imma let you finish, but.. Amy Hudon is the greatest ever. Everything went so seamlessly and she helped out with a couple inevitable last-minute hiccups and I barely even noticed that anything was wrong at the time. Amy made everything so simple and streamlined for us. Not only did we get the perfect venue for our ceremony and reception (which, by the way, the tent is just dreamy with its finished floors and string lights), but we felt so supported by Amy and her team throughout the whole process.

We had an excellent experience with our early fall wedding at Moraine Farm. Amy H. in particular is an absolute rockstar. We worked with her to plan our wedding for about 1 year. She was professional, responsive, attentive to detail, and delivered on making everything happen perfectly on the big day. We had an Indian ceremony on site with an American style cocktail hour on the patio and reception in the tent. It was a long day with lots of people and lots of details, and Amy made everything happen. She was super flexible and we are so grateful for her help making the day a success. The facilities at Moraine Farm were beautiful. The house is well kept and the patio had a great view over the lake. The sail tent with the floor worked well and the bistro lights looked great. The food was perfectly cooked, even some very picky relatives are still giving us compliments. Everyone we worked with there was super helpful and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Our end of July wedding at Moraine was absolutely perfect. We held both our ceremony and reception on the property and would not have changed a single detail. The fact that Moraine has a permanent sailcloth tent with a floor and bistro lighting is a HUGE plus, we never had to worry what the weather would do (though we were thankful for a sunny day!) The views are gorgeous, the grounds and facilities are clean, the service is wonderful and the food is outstanding. I cannot tell you how many compliments I've gotten on how delicious our wedding food was - Fireside Catering does a great job. We worked with Amy and she was super helpful throughout the planning process by answering questions and checking-in to remind me of deadlines along the way. She looked in to each request and idea that I had to help make my wedding day exactly what I was envisioning. The venue overall is perfect for guests of all ages - the lawn allows for a perfect space for games, and the garden is beautiful to walk through, particularly for guests who many not enjoy dancing as much. I did not worry about a single detail on my wedding day because the staff at Moraine truly had everything covered. I am so grateful for our experience working with Fireside Catering at Moraine Farm and cannot recommend this venue highly enough to future bride and grooms!

This venue was nothing short of perfect. We worked with Amy Hudon to plan our special day, and she was amazing! Amy was always quick to respond to our questions, and extremely helpful in adding value to the many decisions that we had to make before our big day. On the day of our June 2018 wedding, we were very happy with the grounds, staff, and the food was delicious. Many of our guests said that the food was the best they have had at a wedding. It was a fairy tale. Thank you to Amy and the entire Moraine Farm team!

And everything went just so incredibly smoothly - Amy kept things organized throughout the planning process, so when the day came, we knew we were in good hands. Everyone raved about the event - the food, the space, the service - all wonderful! And we didn't have to worry about a thing. It was the best night, highly recommend this venue and team!!

My daughter had her wedding at the Estate at Moraine Farm in June, and we couldn’t have been happier with the venue and working with Amy Hudon, the Director of Sales and Events. The venue is beautiful. We had our ceremony on the lawn followed by the reception in the tent. The sail cloth tent is superior; beautiful from the outside and lovely and roomy on the inside. It has a complete wood floor which makes it really nice to not be walking on grass all night. Our night had threatened rain and was cool so the sides had to be down; but it didn’t matter; the party was going strong inside. Moraine put up the marquis at the tent entrance because of the weather, and it actually looked like a pretty addition to the tent. The Estate house serves as the perfect setting for guests arriving and for the cocktail hour; it is rustic and has great space inside and out. The Bride’s room is attractive and comfortable, and did double duty for us as a place for final getting ready touches, and afterwards as a kids’ room with babysitters for the kids in our wedding party. Fireside Catering is the exclusive caterer for Moraine, and the food was excellent. The staff that night was numerous and very attentive to everyone’s needs; they even corralled my daughter and reminded her to eat her dinner when it was served.
The linchpin to the entire success of the day and the many months leading up to it was working with Amy Hudon. She was wonderful to work with; responsive, calm, flexible and just a really nice person. We met with her multiple times and she was always willing to meet or email/call with all of the people we had involved in the planning; the bride, mom and (very detailed) dad and our wedding planner as well as our other vendors. In the week leading up to the wedding we had an idea of renting some staging for the band, and she looked into it without the blink of an eye about the last minute nature of the request. She plays well with others! We loved working with her, and would absolutely recommend the Estate at Moraine Farm.

We were thrilled to have our wedding at Moraine Farm. We worked with Amy H. over the course of about a year to help plan our big day.
Our wedding was a bit non-traditional as it incorporated both an Indian-style ceremony with an American-style reception. This led to a ton of extra details that had to be managed (e.g., a white horse, multiple areas for music), and Amy handled them all with grace!
Every detail that we had requested was handled by Amy. She helped keep us on time/schedule, and the staff was very attentive to us and the bridal party when we had other things to take care of.
We received a ton of compliments on the food - and we loved it as well!
We can't recommend them highly enough.

We were married at Moraine Farm in June 2018 and had the most wonderful day. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and well-maintained. The staff at Moraine and Fireside Catering are extremely professional, organized and polite. Amy Hudon, the director and our wedding day coordinator, was amazing. She helped execute our wedding day in a timely, thoughtful and calm fashion (which involves corraling family members, vendors and managing lots of moving parts!) and was always responsive, personable and kind. Moraine Farm also assigns a specific wedding attendant to the bride and groom on the wedding day (ours was Lord, who was lovely), who made sure we always had a beverage, access to food and even brought over multiple slices of our wedding cake to make sure we tried some. We felt very taken care of, and once the day started, we did not have to worry about a single thing! Thank you Moraine Farm/Amy/Fireside Catering for helping to make our day so special!

OMG We got married on 9/16/2017 and it was the best and most beautiful day of our lives!!! Amy is SO helpful and professional and just has the best personality ever! Throughout the whole process she was responsive, helpful and answered all my (annoying) questions. Amy was super organized and after we said "I DO" on the gorgeous lawn she greeted us with champagne (how perfect!).
The staff throughout the day was also super kind, and helpful, we had no problems what so ever.
People have been talking non stop about how beautiful the venue is and how much fun they had. And it was just the perfect place for us! A lot of our friends and family have said it was the best wedding they have been to.
looking over the water during cocktail hour was amazing, having so many different spots for beautiful pictures was a must for me and it was just a DREAM!
The whole day was so easy, we had the venue to ourselves the entire day, you didnt have to share with another wedding or event (very important to me) and it was just beautiful! I cannot get over how perfect this venue was for us!
Also - the food is AMAZING, I have a lot of "opinionated" friends when it comes to food and they LOVED it. You get to completely customize the menu, they have so many options!
If you want your wedding day to be seamless, beautiful, stress free, fun and just perfect - BOOK MORAINE FARM!!
Thank you Amy and team!! We can't wait to go to a restaurant that serves fireside catering food and I really just want to go back to Moraine farm every year ! <3

Having your wedding at Moraine Farm and working with Amy Hudon at Fireside will be the best and easiest decision you make. Amy is an absolute pleasure to work with, and Moraine is absolutely gorgeous. Each and every spot on Moraine is perfectly suited - the garden for pictures, the lawn for the ceremony, the patio for cocktail hours, and the sail tent for the reception. The grounds themselves are spectacular, and Fireside adds a warm touch with the string lights and other decorations. The staff at Moraine are very professional, and so efficient they work like a machine. We got multiple unprompted comments from guests at how accommodating, kind and helpful the staff was. I highly recommend choosing Moraine and Fireside.

We had an August wedding at Moraine Farm, and it was absolutely PERFECT. We were a little nervous about an outdoor wedding and a tent for the reception, but it was such an incredibly gorgeous venue, and the sailcloth tent with a full floor (not just a vinyl tent on grass/mud with only a hard floor for dancing) was just beautiful. Cocktail Hour out by the lake on the patio is absolutely breathtaking (though we sadly didn’t get any pictures of the spot!) Having amazing food at our wedding was really important, and Fireside Catering (the exclusive caterer for Moraine Farm) did an absolutely outstanding job, we still have people raving about how good the rib-eye was!! We were so happy with how incredible the venue was, we couldn’t imagine a better choice!

Working with Amy was a true pleasure, and I would highly highly recommend Moraine Farm as the perfect wedding venue! The layout is amazing, both spacious and intimate, and my only regret is not telling more of our guests to walk down to the secret garden behind the teahouse because it is absolutely beautiful! (And, fun fact, was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, designer of NYC's central park!) Another fantastic thing about Moraine is the tent - it is gorgeous, has a full wood floor (great for dancing!) a kitchen on site so food is cooked there, and has all of the lights your heart could desire (and gorgeous strings of lights coming out from the tent to the nearby trees). From our first food tasting to the day of the wedding, Amy worked closely with us to make sure that we had thought everything through. As a fairly organized person myself, I was amazed by the level of detail that Amy brought to her planning, and utterly impressed by the professionalism of her and her staff on the day of our wedding. Everyone warns you that no matter how much thought you put into your food, you won't be able to taste it on your wedding day, but my husband and I were assigned our own personal caterer (shout out to Lord who was AMAZING) who made sure that we got to try all of the apps, always had a glass in hand, and got to eat our salads and entrees before heading onto the dance floor. Moraine's exclusive caterer, Fireside, is AMAZING. I can't say enough about the burrata we had on our salad (mouth is watering again thinking about it) and my local pan seared cod was delicious! Highly highly recommend!!

Every inch of The Estate at Moraine Farm is absolutely gorgeous (although keep in mind though many of the photos available are old - the tent has moved so the ceremony location is limited to the lawn). The food at Fireside Catering is wonderful (although certainly expensive), and the personal assistant they assigned us on the day of, Lord, was the BEST.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the best experience with Amy Hudon, our event manager. As the bride, I felt that I needed to be on top of every detail since I didn’t know if I could count on her. For instance, we weren't told that our food options were no longer available in the spring (good thing I called right before printing all the invitations!) Was ultimately even served the wrong veggies as a side dish!!! It would sometimes take weeks to get an reply email back, and the email would likely only answer 1 of my many questions. The 2 other event managers on the day of also did not seem to know the timeline.
Of course, the day still turned out perfectly and the Moraine crew did so much right (we just only notice the things that go wrong!). Based on the many other positive reviews, it could be that I am just a type A bride who needed lots of attention.

I can't say enough about Moraine Farm. It is a true hidden gem in the North Shore. The venue is absolutely gorgeous in every way. Amy and her team took our vision and made it 10x better than I could have imagined. The day of I didn't have to make any decisions or think about anything.

From the moment I met her and toured the venue, she made me feel confident that she had everything under control. She was always prompt responding to my many questions, and offered great advice whenever I needed it. Our wedding day went off flawlessly-- our guests raved about the venue, and the food provided by Fireside Catering. The venue has just installed a new tent which is GORGEOUS, and the gardens were in beautiful shape and made my pictures look amazing! It is the perfect wedding venue for someone looking for an outdoorsy feeling wedding but who still wants something that feels refined. I really can't say enough good things and encourage any brides looking for a venue in MA to consider Moraine Farm!

Amy was absolutely fantastic in helping us plan our wedding at Moraine Farm. She made the planning process fun and easy. She took care of details that we would not have considered on our own yet were essential to having the day flow smoothly. Her team was wonderfully helpful on the day itself, and the food was delicious. The natural beauty of the grounds and the lake was incredible, and the tent was spacious and comfortable, allowing all our guests to join in for traditional dancing. We are so glad that we were able to work with Amy, and will forever be grateful to her, Moraine Farm, and Fireside Catering for being part of our special day.

I couldn't be happier with the whole experience at Moraine Farm. Amy is exceptional - she remained organized and helpful throughout the whole planning process, by setting up planning meetings and acting as a sounding board to our ideas. Right off the bat we were confident in Amy's capability, and didn't have a moment of stress in regards to the venue. On our wedding day the whole schedule went according to plan, and the entire day went seamlessly from pre-ceremony photos, through the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and easy pick-up the next day. The meals crafted by Fireside Catering were phenomenal, which was exactly what we expected after the well-executed tasting dinner months before. Not only did we get to try the food, but we also got to chat with other couples about their plans for the venue, which was a neat experience. Moraine Farm is an absolutely gorgeous location, Amy was spectacular, as were the catering staff. I can't recommend Moraine Farm enough - absolutely perfect!

Moraine Farm was amazing. The venue is so beautiful, sits above Wenham Lake and during cocktail hour our guests were able to watch the sun set over the lake. We got married on the impeccable lawn in front of an ornate tea house, which sits above a beautiful garden with a fountain. The staff was amazing and the day went off flawlessly!

The venue it gorgeous and the staff is amazing. It was raining on our day, but everyone worked to make it perfect, regardless. And with a tent that majestic and the beautiful house, we didn't mind being inside! Amy, our wedding planner, was phenomenal - o helpful, personable, and sincere. Ginelle was our manager for the day and made everything flow perfectly. Danielle was our wedding server really went above and beyond!

We couldn't have found a more perfect venue. My vision for our wedding was a romantic garden wedding (with good food.) We worked with Amy who is so organized and wants to know every last detail to ensure your wedding is perfect. My husband and I didn't even look at another venue after seeing the gardens. Amy helped us every step of the wedding planning way. From rentals to suggested other vendors the whole planning process was so smooth. Then the day of- we had our own coordinator melissa. She was not intrusive but poked her head in when she felt we needed to move the night along. Our guests raved about the venue how beautiful it was not to mention the food. Farm to table was very high on my priorities of choosing a venue. The food completely passed our expectations. Not only would I chose Moraine farm again, but I highly recommend the venue to any future newlywed.

The venue was absolutely amazing! Maura was a tremendous help through the entire process and was there to answer any questions we had. She helped us craft the exact event we wanted. The grounds are beautifully kept and were a huge hit with our guests. The tent is very nice as is the large dance floor. The staff was also tremendous and did a great job getting food out and keeping things on schedule. Lastly, the food was delicious and we received many complements from people.

We had an incredible experience working with the Estate at Moraine Farm and Fireside Caterers (the exclusive caterer at Moraine Farm) in Beverly, MA, for our June 2015 wedding. This year they installed a permanent tent on the grounds with a floor, beautifully simple strings of lights in the tent and lanterns leading down a path to it. There are so many areas of the grounds to explore for photographs. We were looking for a venue with gorgeous views and landscaping and without a large mansion-type house. Moraine was perfect. Landscaped by Olmstead, it is not overly manicured, but has majestic trees, flowered bushes, and rustic gardens. Cocktail hour overlooked Wenham lake. The estate does have a modest house with a bridal suite and bathrooms, but it does not take attention away from the beautiful surroundings. We worked with Maura who was extremely organized, helpful, and fun to work with. She made me feel completely at ease that everything would go smoothly the day-of, and it absolutely did!

We worked with Maura from the start and she gave us advice and guidance during the planning process. Maura was so flexible with the menu, worked with our budget and allowed us to make personal touches to the menu. Maura is certainly type A in a good way.She has a great eye for detail and did a great job walking us threw the days events with a fine tooth comb. Also prompt.
I will say that when we planned our September 6 wedding we were expecting an early fall, outdoor production. Moraine Farm was most scenic and beautiful backdrop to share our day with our family and friends. I certainly did not expect a 90 degree day with thunderstorms, tornado warnings and power outages in the forecast! We had about an hour of severe thunderstorms right as the reception began and the Fireside catering team did not miss a beat despite mother natures attempt to halt the production! I was scared when we were introduced, the lights were out and the storm was at it's peak. I believe the lights had gone out in the tent because a power strip got wet, but they still had power for the band. But Maura and her team kept us calm with assurances that it was okay. Maura let me know someone was coming for the lights and it was fixed quickly-within about 15 minutes! It actually added a nice dramatic effect during our first dance because the only lights were on us. The entire production was perfect despite mother nature's imperfections.The staff did not miss a beat and they all came up to me and apologized for crazy weather, were very complimentary and congratulated us. I work in the industry and I can only imagine the challenges that were faced behind the scenes but we didn't see a thing! The staff was very professional and the food was amazing. We got so many compliments that it was the best food people had ever had a wedding. I would highly recomend this vendor to anyone! You are in great hands.

Not only is this place beautiful but its picture perfect for summer weddings. I got married on labor day and Amy made sure that everything went off with out a hitch. She especially catered to my new husband and my needs, and went over every little detail to make sure our day was perfect. Her amazing knowledge of wedding planning made planning our ceremony so easy it left me thinking shouldn't this be harder? My husband and i are extremely grateful to Amy and the whole Moraine Farms staff for making our wedding day so extremely perfect, i'd recommend them to just about anyone who was getting married and wanted an outdoor wedding. The site is just off the water with a beautiful view of the ocean, and they have wonderful flowers everywhere which leaves extra decorations to a minimum so that also helped our pockets a lot. Working with Amy was just a wonderful experience and i am so happy that I decided to get married at Moraine Farms!

The landscaping and grounds were beautiful;Once dinner gets under way you really don't leave the tent so you don't get to see the beautiful grounds you paid for when the sun goes down
