The Haversham House

se instead of anxious about the day. He was truly a blessing! He made sure the day went smoothly, was there for us to answer any questions and made sure everything was handled behind the scenes. The venue was stunning! We loved the look of The Haversham from the moment we first visited and it was even more beautiful on our special day. It rained on our wedding day but the tent was already set up and ready for us. It was an incredible, unforgettable experience and I’m so happy we chose The Haversham for our wedding. We would highly recommend!

ve 5 stars. It was often impossible to contact the event organizer, taking as much as two weeks or more to get back to us on simple questions. It might be that they were overburdened, but it added immensely to our stress each month. Several times appointments were missed or hours delayed without explanation. We felt better with Nathan who took over in the final months before our wedding. Even so, simple things that everyone deals with like allergies were not explained until the week of, and then not followed through day of the wedding (we gave them a spreadsheet and wrote allergies on table cards as directed, and then waitstaff still asked my grandma [why??] during dinner what EVERYONE'S allergies were in attendance.) On the pro side, the venue is so well maintained outside and the inside is lovely, old fashioned New England charm that reads glamorous when it could easily read outdated. Nathan was very nice and understanding when we got to work with him. The food was fantastic, especially at our tasting but for the most part day-of as well. They were accommodating to our personalizations like a signature cocktail, and the price was incredible and made it worth all the hassle leading up. Finally, the dance floor is a great size and they had everything we needed for extra tables for our reception extras. Again, we loved our day and it went off mostly without a hitch, so it's difficult to write this review. But the stress beforehand really had an impact on our experience with the venue, so I hope they're able to improve on that because then this would be the perfect venue!

elcome table and centerpieces, and the grounds and ceremony spot was lovely. We worked with Tara from our time of booking up until shortly before the wedding and she was great—very attentive and accommodating. In early May 2022 (wedding in June 2022), I reached out to ask: 1. about scheduling the rehearsal, and 2. about renting the venue’s farmhouse for the wedding weekend. Tara said she would check and get back to me. Over the next 5 weeks, I was unable to get in contact with anyone at the venue at all. A phone calls, emails, voicemails, and texts went unanswered. Finally, 5 days before the wedding, after speaking with 3 different people at the restaurant next door, I found out Tara was on medical leave. Nobody at the venue reached out to couples with upcoming weddings to let them know our point of contact had changed. Nobody would have reached out to me at all if I didn’t keep calling, and I would have had no rehearsal, they wouldn’t have known my menu counts and choices, or appetizer choices (since nobody acknowledged those emails). I was finally able to talk to the backup wedding coordinator 4 days before the weeding to finalize everything and ask all of the questions I had been trying to ask for almost 6 weeks. Needless to say, we never heard back about renting the farmhouse and missed out on that. When scheduling the rehearsal, the backup coordinator assured me he would work with the restaurant next door (part of the venue) to get my rehearsal party a reservation. There was no reservation when we arrived. He also confirmed we could arrive at 9:30 am the morning of the wedding to start hair/makeup. We showed up and the groundskeeper had no idea why we were there and was not ready for us. The day itself also had a couple of hiccups. We secured certified gluten free desserts for a guest with a serious allergy and gave specific instructions to keep them separate and not even remove them from the box. They were placed on a tray with all of the regular desserts and contaminated, ruined for our guest. Additionally, the set up all of the desserts (donuts) uncovered before dinner was even served. Naturally, people went up and helped themselves, so by the time guests received their main courses, they had already filled up on donuts and a large portion were missing before we even cut the cake. Nothing exceptionally horrible happened, but I felt like we were cast aside and like we really fell through the cracks. Nobody should feel like that on a day they spent 18 months planning and tens of thousands of dollars on. I also had to worry about things the venue should have taken care of (e.g., separating the desserts). Overall, I think it was basically a case of bad timing and scrambling by the venue to stay afloat with their main coordinator out; however, no couple should be ignored like that for so long and so close to the wedding they booked, and shouldn't feel so overlooked. Nobody should experience that on their wedding day. The venue did provide us with a complimentary photobooth, which was a hit.

coordinator, when going to look at the venue in person, and she was extremely helpful and professional. Once we decided to go with the Haversham, she helped us make food decisions and was very accommodating with all of our requests. On our wedding day, Tara made sure everything went smoothly. We received many compliments from guests about how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful the food was. The only issue we had was a difficulty getting ahold of Tara when we had questions because she was understaffed at the time. However, even with the communication issues Tara and her staff made sure our wedding went perfectly. We were extremely pleased with our experience at the Haversham and would recommend them as a venue to anyone.

c. She and her staff were attentive to all of our needs from day one. The setting, the appetizers, food was all perfect. We had the buffet with a Carving station for the Prime Rib. Also, we highly recommend reserving the Farmhouse for the night before and night of the wedding. Thank you for everything Tara and The Haversham.

tars is that while Tara and her staff were very attentive on the wedding day, it was very hard to reach them in the months prior to the wedding. Multiple follow-up emails and texts had to be sent in order to get a reply to some basic questions regarding our wedding. But that really the only negative, our wedding day was still amazing and the guests all enjoyed themselves throughout the ceremony and reception.

en when I probably asked the same thing a few times. She worked with us to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of! She made sure there were no hiccups and everything went smoothly. I truly cannot thank her and the haversham enough. If I could give them a million stars I would

of this place though, is Tara. She is absolutely incredible. COVID destroyed our wedding we had been planning over the last 2 years, so we had to plan a brand new one in a month and she made it happen. She will fight tooth and nail to bring your dreams to life! She answered every text, email, call no matter how big or small always within the same day. She even trailed behind me to fluff out my train as I walked down the aisle!! She just really went above and beyond for us, I literally can’t thank her enough. The rest of the staff was fantastic too especially with a walk up bar still not allowed, they really kept up! Our guests party hard (lol) and they had drinks in hand ALL night. Also, if you get the chance to book the farmhouse next door, DO IT!!!!! That place is huge, beautiful, fully equipped. It was way more fun to host our wedding party/immediate family at for the after party and dinner the night before. It has a huge kitchen, grill outside, a game room, and a next level surround sound system for music! Also, as the bride it was perfect to get ready there with my bridesmaids and have the men hang in the in-law or game room while we stayed in the house, then you can literally walk right over to the venue when it’s time. Even after all the struggle to get to our wedding day, I wouldn’t change a thing. I wish I could re-live it over and over again. Thank you Haversham House!!!

especially given the extreme circumstances with all the pandemic restrictions. All our guests have said they really enjoyed the atmosphere and the Venue menu food was excellent. Thank you Tara and your staff for making our wedding night a positive experience with memories that will last a lifetime!

the farmhouse and that was amazing as well!

erns and he said he would call me back. Instead I received an unprofessional phone call from the event coordinator, Tara. I hope that another bride does not have a similar experience that puts a damper on their wedding day.

the Haversham house!

was the best of any wedding we have ever attended! Not one detail was missed! Thank you Tara, and the whole Haversham staff for an unbelievable wedding!!!!!

r the ceremony was so beautiful, the bar area and bartenders were so awesome, the food was absolutely amazing, and the flow of the night was perfect as well. We have zero complaints and would recommend Tara and The Haversham House to anyone looking for a Venue for their wedding or any other special occasion!

hat night. I was beyond impressed – walking into the reception after photos at the cathedral, I was greeted by a well-established party full of happy friends and family. The bar service was moving smoothly, the space was established perfectly for our 16 tables, and the lighting, etc., set the perfect mood. Jack and Daniela checked in with us, and made sure that the wedding party got drinks and appetizers. The night went exactly as we had scheduled out, the food was amazing, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Jack and Daniela had made sure to accommodate a few particular requests, and made the space work with them. The grounds have a few lovely spots for photos, and we took advantage of them. The overall tone of the venue is comfortable with just enough fancy for a formal affair, with two large fireplaces and nice woodwork throughout the hall. I would highly recommend the venue – just make sure to stay in good contact throughout the planning to make sure all the information for your planning gets recorded.

professional & easy to communicate with. And the best part of it all was how affordable it all was! I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a stress-free event!

e bar with a fireplace, lots of polished pine, 2 stone fireplaces and wall to wall windows overlooking the lush gardens. Under Jack's leadership, his staff had everything under control indoors, attentive to all of my guests and the food was delicious!!

he delicious food. We can't thank Jon and his team enough for this wonderful experience. Highly recommended for any occasion.

r big day in May but they had us covered (figuratively and literally). They had multiple options to deal with the weather and so the weather did not have an impact for us. The staff were amazing -from the bartender to the planner -very, very good attention to making our day special. Daniella was amazing and seemed to be everywhere making sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend the Haversham -they made our wedding perfect!

m for all your hard work!

ould not have gone any better. Every request I made was taken care of, and I was so grateful for the flexibility that Jack and Daniela gave me. The venue itself was beautiful and worked perfectly for my rustic winter wedding theme. (It would also be perfect for any other season.) I did not have a tasting as I planned this from Washington, but the food was by the far the best food I have ever had at a wedding. My guests all raved about their meals. Everyone's food was hot and cooked perfectly. I have had countless filets at weddings and they have never been prepared to my liking. The filet was absolutely amazing. We also had stuffed haddock and stuffed chicken - our guests also loved these options. I still cannot say enough great things about my experience working with the Haversham team. If there were ever any issues throughout the day I never knew. I am so grateful for everyone who worked to make our day so special.
