I got married at The Mansion on Turner Hill about a week ago, and truly there are not enough wonderful things I can say about it.
Venue wise, if you have seen Turner Hill I think ...
the beauty of the mansion and grounds pretty much speaks for itself. We chose to do our ceremony outdoors, which felt like a fairytale. The inside of the mansion is also just breathtaking.
Vinewood catering which is their exclusive catering is 10/10! The apps to the entrees were all incredible, the staff was friendly and professional. Turner hill uses their own bartenders, who again were incredibly friendly and professional, and our signature cocktails were delicious.
Now comes to Tara who was our wedding coordinator. I feel like so many venues are beautiful, have nice food, but your coordinator can really change the entire trajectory of your wedding. She is literally an angel from heaven. The entire year before my wedding she was so promt and responsive to all my emails and questions. She is so professional and organized, but at the same time she feels like a family member who truly wants you to have the best day of your life. My wedding day had severe thundershowers, so we had to slightly change the plan for my reception, which i intially wanted outdoors. She was so calm and handled it so well, I was completely at ease and the little "blimp" in my vision did not matter in the slightest. Tara is so wam and kind, and I can never thank her enough for being the absolute perfect wedding coordinator. The biggest complain my guests had, was the wedding was too short!
Brides, if you chose to get married at Turner Hill I am so jealous you get to work with Tara. Not being in constant contact with her is one of the saddest parts of my wedding being over.....LOL.
Turner hill is an absolute dream venue. From the venue itself, to the food, to the staff, it literally is a fairytale. If you get married here I hope your day is as magical as mine was.

hile we wanted to use the outdoor ceremony space we also loved the rain plan just as much (even though we didn't need it, it gave us sound of mind). The team at Turner Hill really made the difference. Tara, the coordinator, responded to emails incredibly fast with helpful details. We did not have a planner and had so many questions that we were worried we were annoying but she was always responded quickly with everything we needed - and was always so sweet. We had so much fun every time we visited working with Tara, and the entire staff was so professional, so lovely, and so fabulous on the wedding day. I can't say enough good things about Turner Hill and their team!!

ied October 25th, 2025. When we first toured Turner Hill, we fell in love with the gorgeous old world/great gatsby vibes it gave. And not only that, but we immediately clicked with Tara. When you know you know as the saying goes, and we truly knew it would be the wedding of our dreams and it was. Everything was perfect from start to finish we want to keep reliving the day over and over again. The staff from top to bottom was PHENOMENAL and Tara is one of a kind. Myself and my mom always had dozens of questions to ask her at a time and she always was extremely helpful and patient :) HAVE YOUR WEDDING AT TURNER HILL!!!! You will be SO happy as my husband and I are

Our experience at Turner Hill could not have been better. While we knew it was a wonderful venue from the get-go, it even exceeded expectations day of. The venue offers multiple ar...
eas for guests to see. We had our ceremony in the gardens, cocktail hour on the patio/in the ballroom, dinner in the tent and dancing in the ballroom. I think it was very cool and unique, not to mention each part of the venue is absolutely beautiful.
I cannot say enough about Tara. Paris worked with us too, who was wonderful, and other people day of who unfortunately I don’t remember their names. Tara was our main coordinator and she is truly the best. She answered every question we had (and there were a lot), made us feel comfortable, was there every step of the way and all with a smile. I am confident our wedding day wouldn’t have been what it was without her and you are considering getting married at Turner Hill, Tara will make things seamless.
Also to note - Turner Hill uses Vinwood Catering and the food was phenomenal! Everyone loved all of it but the apps especially :)
I am confident that no other venue would’ve been a better fit for us than Turner Hill. It was truly wonderful from start to finish.

Our wedding at Turner Hill Mansion could not have gone more perfectly. Our coordinator, was amazing. She managed every moving part — family, vendors, timelines — with calm confiden...
ce and remarkable intuition. When any issue came up, it was resolved almost before we knew it existed.
Her coordination with vendors was seamless, and she balanced professionalism with warmth in every interaction. The catering and service team were outstanding — attentive, gracious, and efficient. Guests with allergies and Celiac disease felt genuinely cared for, which speaks volumes about the quality of service.
The food was exceptional — elegant, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Even the vegetarian meal was a hit! Every guest raved about it.
We can’t say enough good things about Turner Hill. If you want your wedding day to be flawless, this is where you want to be.

We had our wedding reception here last year & it was all fantastic! I can’t say enough great things about Tara. She is truly the best and is it weird to say… I miss talking to her ...
now that the wedding is gone and done? Ha! She was so helpful, kind, responsive and everything you could ever ask for.
The entire venue is incredible and truly beautiful. Exactly what we envisioned and I’m so grateful for their entire team for helping pull everything together. So many of our guests were continuously blown away by the beauty AND the kindness of all the staff. People still talk about it today, over a year later!
Would give 10 stars if I could, thank you so much Tara & team!!

ue alone is absolutely gorgeous but it is also the staff that makes it so amazing. Tara and her team were fantastic from the moment we began planning to the end of our wedding. She truly cared about every aspect of our wedding and made the process so easy and enjoyable. Everyone at our wedding was raving about not just the beauty of the venue, but also how amazing the entire staff was. The food selections from Vinwood catering were all so delicious and beautifully plated that it would have seemed like you were at a 5 star restaurant (when the price we paid was the lowest of any venue we saw). For everything that this venue offers, it blew my mind at how low the cost per person was, it was the lowest total cost venue that we looked at. If you are looking for a jaw-dropping, elegant, one of a kind, wedding venue, then Turner Hill is for you!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Turner Hill! From the moment we booked, our guests and family kept telling us how beautiful and spacious everything was and on the day i...
tself, everyone was blown away. So many of our guests commented on how much room there was to mingle, dance, and enjoy every part of the celebration without ever feeling crowded.
And the food… people are still talking about it! Every bite was incredible, and we had countless guests tell us it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had.
A huge part of what made our experience so perfect was Tara. We had a longer engagement, and she was there for us every single step of the way answering questions, helping us make decisions, and making sure we felt supported from start to finish. On our wedding day, she and the entire team handled everything so seamlessly that we had zero worries and could just soak in every moment.
We will forever be grateful to Tara and the team for making our day more perfect than we could have imagined. Highly, highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful space, incredible food, and a staff who truly cares.

We just had our wedding at the Mansion on Turner Hill, and it was honestly the best experience we could have asked for. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, I could not have asked for...
a more beautiful place. It was like stepping into a fairytale with all the historic details and beautiful grounds.
But what really made everything so special was Tara. She’s incredible. From the start, she was so friendly, helpful, and on top of every detail. She answered all our questions (even the little ones!) and made sure we felt completely supported through the whole planning process.
The day of, everything went so smoothly thanks to Tara, Paris and the amazing staff. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests were blown away by how stunning everything looked and how perfectly the day flowed.
If you’re thinking about getting married here, do it! You won’t regret it. And if you get to work with Tara, you’re in the absolute best hands. She helped make our wedding better than we ever imagined, and we’re so grateful.

g day of coordinator) and the all the staff at Turner Hill were amazing. It ended up raining on our wedding day (a lot) so we moved from an outdoor ceremony to inside. She took the time to make sure everything I provided two days prior was set up where I indicated on my instructions sheet. The day went very smoothly with the help of Tara creating our realistic wedding timeline. Turner Hill works with Vinwood which made our entire wedding gluten free for myself and about 7 others in attendance. Tara reassured me up until the day of that there would not be any allergy issues and she was right. There were no reactions at my wedding and everyone complimented us on the food day of and after the wedding. With a lot of craftsman in the family needless to say the venue itself was a hot topic of the night! It was the first and only venue that we went to see in person because we knew as soon as we stepped into the ballroom this was the space for us to start our forever. Tara and team, thank you so much for making our day one to be remembered and quoted as “the best wedding.”

Additionally, all the signage and details we brought she set up perfectly so that our dream wedding really came into fruition. Turner Hill works with Vinewood's catering in which we are still getting compliments on our food weeks later. Oh and did I mention the venue is STUNNING. From the outside area with multiple gardens to the tent that is complete with table, linen and beautiful white china to the mansion. There is not one place that is not photogenic! Thank you so much for making our special day so perfect and stress free.

The Mansion at Turner Hill surpassed all my dreams for my daughter’s wedding. It is the perfect venue, inside and out, rain or Shine. With Sonya Belgacem advising and co-ordinating...
the whole event, we could not have been in better hands. Sonya understands your vision and she is there every step of the way to make sure you achieve it. A thorough professional, Sonya always replied promptly to our emails ( and there were many!) or our phone calls. Her replies were thorough and detailed, and yet somehow had a warm tone. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and everything was planned right down to the smallest detail. The food, with the preferred caterers was excellent, which I find rare at a wedding for 120 people. The cost of the wedding was well within our modest budget, and to be honest, I would say at even at a much higher price, for what we experienced it would have been well worth it. Turner Hill is the most beautiful setting, and the personal service by Sonya and her staff, together with the caterer and other carefully chosen vendors, make this an outstanding venue for your perfect day!

We had our wedding at The Mansion on Turner Hill this past May and could not recommend this venue more! Not only is the mansion stunning inside and out, but the food and staff are ...
top-notch, too. Tara and Sonya are great to work with and helped make everything so easy throughout the planning process. The weather unfortunately did not cooperate on our wedding day, so we had to move our ceremony and cocktail hour inside as well as procure last minute heaters for the tent. Tara helped us every step of the way to ensure everything still went flawlessly. Vinwood's food is also amazing -- so many guests have told us it's some of the best wedding food they've ever had. In short, if you're thinking of having your wedding at Turner Hill, I promise you won't regret it.

The best decision we made in our planning was choosing Turner Hill!
We got married in February 2024 and had a lot of out of town guests so wanted a venue that was classic New Eng...
land with a statement interior plus grounds for outdoor photos. Once we chose TH, everything else felt relatively easy - the venue inspired our vintage black tie, mansion house party theme; we didn't need to buy any decorations other than flowers, table linens and our seating chart because the venue speaks for itself; Vinwood is the exclusive caterer (and people LOVED the food). At the wedding, we took advantage of the full space and love having photos with so many unique backdrops (wedding party suites, stairs, library, back patio (they had heaters!), etc.) and guests loved being able to move around all night.
One thing that I learned only after the wedding was that TH has its own bar service rather than through the caterer so two bars were included and cocktails were very good rather than the typical watery wedding drinks.
Also, I know there are a lot of posts on the coordinator at TH being difficult to work with but this was not my experience AT ALL. I worked with Tara and she was wonderful - she responded quickly to my emails, answering questions, offering suggestions, she helped with the seating plan and timeline, coordinated directly with catering, joined a pre-wedding call with our band, and was overall accommodating and a pleasure to work with. My husband and I were very busy with work during the lead up to our wedding and we did not have a planner other than Tara, but we didn't need one! She kept things calm and organized and we are very grateful for her help far beyond that of a day of coordinator.
Highly recommend!

My husband and I got married on September 22, 2023 and I have to start by saying - The Mansion on Turner Hill embodied everything I dreamt my wedding venue would be. From the initi...
al stages of planning down to the last second of our day, the Turner Hill staff blew us away.
The Planning: The wedding coordinator, Tara, and her team are OUTSTANDING. They were not only quick to respond to whatever question(s) we had, but they were also extremely thorough and helpful. Tara was our sounding board throughout the entire planning process and gave us numerous ideas of décor, activities, flow, and so much more. She single-handedly helped us create our day and brought it to life seamlessly. By trusting her guidance we had a wedding day that our guests still call us out of the blue to rave about.
The Wedding Day: The events of our day could not have gone any smoother. I personally love how Turner Hill utilizes all of their spaces so your guests are always entertained by new scenery. Our guests loved how they were able to flow from space to space, step outside for a drink on the terrace when they wanted some air, or take a seat in the cozy library to catch up with old friends. Everything was on time and flowed beautifully. Tara and the Vinwood Team were PROMPT. Everything was on-time, not one second lagged. The flawlessness of our day is a testament of their organizational skills and expertise at what they do. No matter where I was, Tara was in view. She was always ready to jump to action if needed, and always ready to hand you a drink if not :)
The Food: The food was DEVINE. Vinwood Caterers is so unbelievably fantastic at what they do and deliver quality food. Our guests are still trying to re-create the salad they had on our wedding day! The servers were kind, courteous and swift. I didn't see one plate with a drop of food left as the tables were cleared.
In summary - if you want to get married at a stunning venue where your guests will be constantly entertained and you are continuously supported by the staff - GET MARRIED HERE.

ur wedding was exactly what we wanted.
We got married in December and the mansion looked absolutely gorgeous - each of the different rooms, beautiful in their own right, were covered in holiday decorations. We had our ceremony in the intimate Alabaster room which was the perfect size for our 70-person wedding. We had our cocktail reception in the library and it was incredibly cozy and filled with joy. Our reception was in the ballroom and it was the perfect place for dinner and dancing.
This venue had everything we were looking for: gorgeous bridal chamber and smoking room for getting ready, wonderful staff, beautiful grounds, and lots of nooks and crannies for photos.
We are so happy that we found the Mansion on Turner Hill - they made our wedding more perfect than we could have ever hoped for! Thanks, Jo and Tara - you have a special place in our hearts!

Their affiliate catering company, Vinwood, really exceeded our expectations for quality in the food and drink. One major factor in choosing this location was also that we have a rather small wedding (75 people), and they didn't have a minimum like many other venues we explored. Thanks, Turner Hill team, for having us and helping us with the wedding of our dreams!

We had our wedding at Turner hill on 10/06/2023. I have been to 16 weddings in the past 3 years. Turner hill is the best venue. I’ll start first with our wedding coordinator Tara. ...
She is the absolute best! She is so lovely, professional, reliable, and timely. She accommodated all our requests. She set up all our decor absolutely perfectly. The day went off without a hitch. The outdoor ceremony space is to die for! The grounds are always immaculate and the mansion itself is so gorgeous. We had our ceremony outside, dinner in the tent and dancing in the mansion. In my opinion, this is the way to do it! Every staff member at Turner hill was great! They also have two bars so there aren’t long lines to get a drink, I mean come on. Turner hill has such a “wow” factor when your guests come in, which is exactly what I was looking for! The food was so awesome and so many of our guests commented on how it was the best wedding food they have ever had. I couldn’t believe how perfectly our day went. You will never regret booking this venue!

Everything about The Mansion on Turner Hill was perfect!! My now husband and I got married on 9/3/2023 and we are still in post wedding blues because of how perfect the day was!
F...
irst off, the backdrop of the venue makes for gorgeous pictures!! But more importantly, the staff and management at Turner Hill went 1000x above and beyond the expectation when helping to keep an anxious bride calm! No matter what time I would email Tara Ranahan, Cindy Zalewski or Sonya Belgacem, they would always email me back within minutes. There was a few times I had some thoughts in my head around midnight, and I was shocked to get a response from Tara almost immediately. They are true professionals who know how anxious some brides get (me!) and their prompt response truly helped keep me level headed throughout the wedding planning process!! They never complained with the 197490347 changes I had to the set up, seating chart, room layout etc. I always got an "of course, happy to help." with a smile and updated BEO/floor plans!
Once the day of the wedding came, my now husband and I had nothing to worry about. We are both in the hotel industry so we showed up (separately) to the venue ready to help with setup and Tara told us to both go relax and enjoy the day with our family and friends. As I was walking down the aisle to my fiancé at the time, I couldn't help but take in all the planning and visions that came to life that Tara and the team put together as if they were in my head and knew exactly where I wanted everything to go. The reception space was something out of a fairytale. Both Turner Hill and their caterer, Vinwood Catering, set everything up with such meticulous attention to detail. It was gorgeous.
And the food!!! I have had several guests from the wedding text me saying that the food was the best they have ever had, including their own weddings. 8 out of the 9 tables completed the Clean Plate Club challenge and kept coming up to us that night saying they wished they could have a second plate because it was so delish! You never hear that about wedding food!!! Everything was fresh and when served, was still hot for our guests to enjoy!
My husband and I are so thankful we decided onThe Mansion on Turner Hill for our wedding and would pick that venue 10x over if we could. You will not be disappointed with the team, the location, the backdrop, the food, the attention to detail etc. etc....our day went off without one single issue and that's all because of the team at Turner Hill!!!

We couldn’t thank them enough for all they did so we could have our dream wedding.

We got married here on 6/9/23 and had the best day!! Such a beautiful venue and professional staff! We worked with Tara and had such a great experience! She was very knowledgeable ...
and helpful with our many questions! We chose Turner Hill because we loved all of their options for ceremony spaces, although we would have loved to have been outside, we moved inside due to rain and still had a beautiful ceremony! Vinwood Catering did an amazing job and we are still getting compliments on the food! 100% recommend booking at Turner Hill!!

eather, we had to change it to indoors. The entire staff was able to make it such a beautiful day for us despite the weather. Tara, our coordinator, was beyond excellent. She made us feel very comfortable, was super communicative, and kind. She is the gold standard! My husband and I had a wonderful time and our guests did, too. Vinwood Caterers and all of Turner Hill’s staff were awesome! I can’t recommend them enough!

is wonderful and so talented! The catering by Vinwood Caterers was impressive for cocktail hour and the main meal. This venue has a wonderful indoor and outdoor ceremony plan/locations so you are good to go rain or shine! The decor and atmosphere creates an elegant and sophisticated wedding. We were so happy to have our wedding here, and highly recommend any couple to choose this venue. You will not be disappointed!

I didn't have to look long when I found Turner Hill. It was perfect for everything we needed it to be. Everyone there was super friendly and helpful. There was some confusion at th...
e beginning about alcohol and timing but it was sorted out in a very professional way.
Planning:
I was mostly in contact with Tara, and she was always great about getting back to me quickly and answering any questions I had so that everything would go smoothly. I tend to be an organized person so I was always on top/ahead of schedule with planning. Tara's quick responses definitely helped me stay on top of the whole planning process.
When it came to scheduling venue visits, it was very easy to come up with times/days that worked for both of us. I had to go up several times (fiancé, his parents, and my parents) and Turner Hill was always welcoming and happy to show us around. All questions were answered at the time of visits as well.
Day of:
Day off I did not have to worry about anything, which is ideal! Myself and my bridal party had a couple bottles of champagne ready and my husband and his groomsmen had an assortment of beers - both of which I thought were a great touch (I also don't know if that is typical but it was great and made the experience even better.) They were organized with the baker we chose and the florist and the rooms were set up exactly how I had imagined them. I had a fairy light break on me and they had a bunch of backups which was unexpected but I was very happy about! At the end of the night, when it came time for last call and make the announcement about leaving, neither myself or my fiancé (now husband) had to do any rallying. The DJ did help by making announcements.
Day after:
Anything that was left at the venue was easy to pick up the day after. Tara let me know when she would be in if I needed her. Otherwise I was able to go into the bridal suite and groomsmen suite to doubleck that nothing was left without bothering her. I did have a couple guests tell me they had an item or so missing and when I emailed Tara she checked and got back to me a few days later. I know it was not their responsibility to check for our guests items so I really did appreciate the extra that was done.
Overall I would 100% use Turner Hill for weddings and even other event, as I felt like they were so supportive, communicative, friendly, and attentive to what we needed. I highly recommend them for your wedding/event needs!

Could not be happier with my wedding. Planned in 4 months and the venue made it so smooth and stress free. Everything was beautiful, staff was kind and well managed, and the food ...
was delicious! I would suggest this venue to everyone I know, people who attended my wedding wouldn’t stop talking about what a cool, unique venue it is. Perfect for a winter wedding, it provides a warm cozy feeling. Don’t need a lot of decorations as the venue has a lot of its own decor that you can work with. Turner Hill really gave me the wedding of my dreams!!!

We hosted an engagement party for 50 guests at the Mansion Club at Turner Hill in late January. We planned the event long distance, and Turner Hill’s Food and Beverage Director an...
d Chef were fantastic in recommending food and room layout options to us, including offering photos and accommodating dietary restrictions. They always made themselves available and we never felt rushed. When we asked them to try something new, they were very open to suggestion. The building itself is an extraordinary setting and a treasure for the community. The views were beautiful and there was easy access to the outdoors for photos. The food was exceptional and displayed beautifully. The servers were friendly, always working, and non-intrusive. At Turner Hill’s recommendation, we hired two brothers (Liam and Lucas) to play guitar music during our event – the song selection was terrific and the volume perfect – everyone could carry on a normal conversation while enjoying the music – so hard to achieve! Truly, the event was flawless and exceeded our expectations. A week has passed, and I am still receiving phone calls, emails, and notes from guests with rave reviews for Turner Hill and for our party. I wish we were receiving the same high level of care and service for our wedding event, which will occur in a different state.

I've taken about 6 months to gather my thoughts on how heartbroken I am that this venue ruined our 1 wedding. Our wedding had 3 event coordinators, yes, 3 different ones. I was nev...
er notified of any of them except the first one( Carol) because communication was atrocious. At times, I was left with no communication for weeks. I found out 2 weeks prior to my wedding that the venue no longer had an event coordinator AGAIN, and when me and my husband raised how unacceptable this was we were treated like it was not their problem. This was the worst nightmare for a bride to experience just two weeks prior to their wedding. My food and alcohol order had not been submitted from months ago. Instead, of being excited for my wedding coming up in two weeks, I had to start re-coordinating with everyone from scratch due to their disorganization. I had to scramble to fix everything myself as their staff kept reminding us it wasn't their job, "they worked in a different department."
The day of the wedding, it rained, and Kristen kept interrupting me during photos to ask me how they should do their jobs. Decorations were not placed properly, tables she wanted to me to decided on changes during the wedding.... it was the most stressful day of my life. I was so stressed that I was crying walking down the aisle. In the end this lack of professionalism and communication caused for a day of chaos, things not being done as I had planned out for years, and caused other vendors communication issues. Overall, the day that I had waited for, was sub par in comparison to what I envisioned and meticulously planned for. It's not like we didn't pay quite a bit of money, because we did. So to not get what you pay for is very upsetting. We're already planning a new wedding in the future to renew our vows because of how upsetting this day was.

Hi Cara, on behalf of everyone at Turner Hill, I am deeply sorry that your special day was...
n’t what you expected and that you weren’t happy with our services. We did everything we could to work with last-minute weather changes due to the thunderstorm and our staff wanted to be sure to communicate with you during those crucial decision-making moments to ensure a beautiful ceremony. We apologize for having to trouble you during your photos. We truly do our best to not be disruptive to our couples on their big day. We also apologize for the turnover in our coordinators during your planning process which caused you additional stress. We wish you & Jason all the best in your future as newlyweds and beyond.

My fiancé and I (Western MA natives) live on the West Coast and were looking to tour venues on our trip home. The communication is unbelievably horrible. I started by reaching out ...
on Wedding Wire on August 19th and received a message back with the pricing information. I then sent 3 messages asking to schedule a tour when we would be home at the end of Sept, a month away… seemed reasonable. No response. Then I emailed Josephine directly 2 times, no response. I called and left voicemails for both Josephine and Cindy MULTIPLE times including the day we were in the Cape seeing if we could just stop by to view the venue, no response. I figured I might as well call the Pro Shop to see if they could transfer me to Cindy or Josephine and left another message. I was told that this is not uncommon. We ended up finding a different venue on the Cape, but it is such a shame that nobody could call or email back within the month of trying to schedule a tour. I do NOT recommend working with this vendor. Planning a wedding can be hard enough, it does not help to have the venue that you are very interested in be non-responsive. Still no response to this day…
