Fern Hill Barn by Wedgewood Weddings

th her. The team at Fern Hill Barn is also nothing short of stellar. Jules was our banquet captain and she was organized and so kind to us. Shout out also to Hailey one of the servers who did such an awesome job of setting everything up and boosting my confidence before I walked down the aisle. Thank you to Adam our DJ who was amazing and held our hands through the planning process for the music and also leading our games. Thank you as well to Sharen the florist who really knocked it out of the park. We had the most perfect day and it was all thanks to the team at Fern Hill Barn! I 100% recommend this venue and the team there! Thanks again!

and you have a whole team of people helping you through planning your big day. The venue itself is beautiful - even in the winter! We will never forget how amazing our wedding day was and so much of it was because of this venue.

he food was also amazing. Our guests kept telling us it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had. The pricing and packages offered were very reasonable and customizable.

of our wedding reception we had an amazing experience with Fern Hill Barn staff, and their in house vendors. Throughout the whole process they were always quick to answer phone calls and emails. No matter the medium for communicating every single person was always so polite, kind, professional, and personable. They never made me feel like I was wasting their time or had stupid questions or ideas. Throughout the process we had conversations with Shannon, Reagan, Stacey and Claudia. They all work together seamlessly to help plan! When we got closer to the wedding we worked exclusively with Claudia (though the others would still chime in and answer questions if we had them) and she is such a lovely person to work with! She was always very attentive and helpful. During our rehearsal we had a lot of opinions coming from various family members and Claudia took it in stride and remained polite and professional and always deferred back to me and my husband to make sure we were getting what we wanted. Fern Hill also had a lot of recommended vendors, most of which they could include in their pricing package to make things easier for the couples. We opted to go with their DJ, Greg Bedard from Bedrock DJs, and he was also so great to work with! He played great music and was always ready if someone made a request or asked him to make an announcement. We also contracted with Taylor Noelle for hair and makeup at Fern Hill's suggestion. This was one of the vendors we paid separately from our Fern Hill bill, but that makes sense for beauty services. I am very happy with the services Taylor and Jalysa provided for me and my bridesmaids and family! We originally considered an outside bakery rather than Fern Hill's, but after our tasting we knew we had to have Fern Hill's cakes and they did not disappoint! I'm so happy we went with Fern Hill's bakers. The appetizers and buffet dinner were also amazing and we've only heard good things from our guests! I cannot speak on the florist and photographer they recommend since we opted to do our own florals and sought another photographer, but based on everything else from Fern Hill I can only imagine that those vendors are fantastic as well. We had a truly amazing time planning our wedding as well as the actual wedding day itself at Fern Hill Barn! They have an online planning portal which is helpful, and you can make all payments online as well. They were so reasonably priced compared to other venues we looked at, and they're basically a one-stop shop! I cannot recommend them enough to couples planning their wedding and seeking a venue! Thank you so much to all the staff at Fern Hill Barn / Wedgewood Weddings!

der/planning packet that helps you get all details together and to ensure you don’t forget a single thing. Their regular check ins and planning meetings are helpful as well. Even if you have a million questions, they’re always responsive and quick, happy to help. Day of, the event was perfect. Staff were friendly and attentive, the venue was decorated exactly as I had requested, the food was delicious, and everyone had a great time all around. This venue has packages to fit a lot of different price points and I would 100% get married here again if I had to do it all over again!

on the cake ! The staff is fun and they get excited in helping you create your dream day. REAGAN made our day perfect I can not say enough good things about she is the MVP. ADAM DJ kept the music going and the dance floor full, CHARLES photographer was easy to work with and flexible with our schedule, he was always on the move capturing all of the moments and made everyone feel comfortable we cant wait to see photos! The hair and make up team allows you to get into the getting ready house earlier and makes for and easy morning. TAYLOR and her team are wonderful. SHAREN, Ladybug florist pulled the entire day together with her wonderful work! Fern Hill staff did so many extra things that just added to a perfect day. I highly suggest everyone check out this venue and enjoy the amazing process of planning a wedding, and then enjoy the best day of your life!

irst moment until the end. I started planning my wedding at the end of January and got married at the end of April so I chose a venue that would help me plan everything and that had some things included. During this period of delay, the team did so many things for me that I was sometimes left doing nothing. Their dedication, joy and good humor is incredible. On my wedding day the officiant was late, I took what they offered out of the package because I wanted my ceremony in Portuguese. They were so nice to me planning everything, keeping me calm and informed. The team that served the food at the party were very happy, always smiling. The venue is simply beautiful! All my guests spoke very highly of the place and the food. Thank you so much Fern Hill Barn team, you made the most important day of my life even more important!

he staff, as well as the overall romantic ambiance of the property. We cannot say enough about Alyson, who is a one of a kind soul. Not only did she arrange the wedding details for the last two years of our engagement, throughout our wedding she was available, organized, and helpful to my family and friends. Thank you!

indoor/outdoor setting under a beautiful and large sailcloth tent romantically lined with string lights. A year of planning later and after experiencing a seamless wedding day, it is the staff at Zukas that leave a mark on my husband and I. The staff were so incredibly kind, talented and attentive to us and our guests, beyond what I could have imagined. They are all tenured professionals that know their stuff and want to make your day perfect. Cherry on top - the food and drinks were also amazing. As a special note, working with Alyson at Zukas over the year leading up to wedding day was incredible. She is an excellent communicator, a true expert in her role. She helped make our day perfect and always expressing kindness, even after my many emails with questions on teeny details! 😊

th a fork! I highly recommend this venue - it’s a gorgeous setting full of places for beautiful pictures. They have everything covered too - spa on sight for makeup and hair and place to stay after the wedding if you want. Check it out!

swering all my questions via email so quickly. We knew as soon as we stepped foot on the grounds that Zukas was a special place. Unfortunately, it poured rain all day on the wedding day so we were unable to get married outside as I had envisioned for months. However, the team at Zukas and Alyson were so calm, collected and organized that the rain did not ruin our day and we pivoted quickly the day before to having the ceremony under the tent. We used the hair and makeup team through Zukas and it worked out perfectly. Everyone loved the food and thought the space was beautiful. We are so grateful for Zukas and Alyson for helping to make our day perfect.

unds are absolutely gorgeous and meticulously maintained. The food is incredible and served in the biggest portions ever! Pricing is a s good as it gets. Alyson is a true gem and such a lovely person to work with. Any questions we had she was right there to answer. The value of Zukas is unbeatable. Best wedding venue ever!

to do our rehearsal, she was extremely organized and took all of our decorations. We trusted her to set them up in an aesthetic way, and she did not disappoint! Our day ran so smoothly, we literally don't have one complaint. The food was delicious, the ceremony room and reception room are beautiful, and the staff is so quick, efficient, and friendly. A big bonus of this venue is the bridal suite across the driveway to get ready in, and to spend the night in after the wedding. 10/10 recommend booking this venue for your special day. You won't regret it!

event allowed us to experience all the options we had for food, alcohol, decor and linens. Allyson had many great recommendations for trusted vendors and hotels. After the day of, we had many compliments about the food, wait staff, bartenders, grounds, etc. A special thanks to Kristin and her team at the Zukas spa. They were incredible! Everyone was so happy with their looks. Kristin took extra time at the end of her work day to accommodate my busy schedule for a hair and makeup trial. She was very receptive to my needs and wants, and I highly recommend the spa team for all of your day-of beauty needs!

ready to go with all the details. I was truly blown away. Not only that, but every single person that we came into contact with throughout the planning process was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful. Alyson is one of a kind. I cannot say enough about this venue and the overall experience, and I would recommend it to anyone!

was! From beginning to end Alyson worked with my husband and I to keep things organized and make the wedding that was in our heads a reality. It all came together better than I could have imagined. It did rain for a short while before the ceremony began, but the crew was quick to get towels and wipe down the ceremony seats before any guest had the opportunity to sit on a wet seat. Decorating was easy as the venue has so much to offer already that it was easiest to be minimal in our decorating budget. My husband and I utilized their offer of the spa and suite for the wedding day. Kristen Hickman and her hair and makeup crew did a wonderful job on me and my girls. All were very professional and personable! The suite after the wedding was a nice and easy reprieve, allowing my husband and I to get rest before packing our decorations the next morning. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Zukas for your wedding/events!

ust stunning - think rural, barn-meets-garden, rustic yet timelessly elegant. Zukas only does one event per day, so we had the entire place to ourselves from 10am when the girls and I checked into the bridal suite/salon to start our hair, to 10:30pm when the reception ended. This also meant we had the full, undivided attention of our wedding coordinator, Alyson, who is so amazing she gets her own paragraph in this review! The on-site bridal suite and hair salon was great for getting ready ahead of the ceremony, and the suite was the perfect retreat for my husband and I after the party had ended. We had our ceremony on site at the gazebo, from which point guests were easily guided to the cocktail hour space, and later to the tented reception. It was an unseasonably warm 95 degrees on our wedding day, but the air conditioning in the barn for cocktail hour and the cool shade and breeze under the reception tent kept our guests cool and comfortable all evening. The on-site wedding coordinator, Alyson, was pleasant and professional from the get-go. She was extremely knowledgeable, and graciously answered any and all questions we had during the planning process. On the big day, she was somehow everywhere all at once, never hurried or stressed, cheerfully guiding us from one step to the next. She was there with a plate of hors d'oeuvres so we got to eat in between photos during the cocktail hour, and the wine and water glasses at our sweetheart table appeared to magically refill themselves each time we returned from dancing or mingling with guests. She made the entire process as close to stress-free as wedding planning gets; she was truly a joy to work with! The food deserves its own review because our guests cannot stop talking about how delicious it was. Second only to the ceremony, it’s the one thing everyone commented on. From the passed hor d’oeuvres, to the three-course dinner, to the dessert bar, I can’t count how many people have said it was some of the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. The main dishes came in healthy serving sizes, and the prime rib and stuffed chicken we selected were huge hits. There are quite a few food allergies in my family, and Zukas was wonderfully accommodating when it came to ensuring that everyone had plenty of safe food options. We brought in a small gluten-free cutting cake from an outside bakery (I have Celiac’s) and opted for the dessert bar for our guests. That might have been the best decision of the night because WOW people are still raving about the variety and quality of desserts! The bartenders also get five stars for keeping the good times flowing with their awesome service, which was no small task as everyone was pretty excited about the open bar. I could go on and on about Zukas and everyone who works there. It’s rare to find a wedding venue that is truly as perfect as it looks, and Zukas Hilltop Barn is that wedding venue.

ning and support from Alyson to the fabulous food. Everything was top notch!

views and scenery. Alyson, the coordinator, is great to work with, really responsive and helpful for any special requests or questions. We really loved being the only wedding on site, it made our day feel very private and special, and we didn't feel rushed at any point. We stayed at the bridal suite overnight and loved that we could just walk across the parking lot and crash after a long and exciting wedding day! We are both vegetarian and many of our guests were as well. Zukas had great meal options and also was great about accommodating food allergies. All of our guests were so impressed with the space and loved everything about Zukas. We are so glad we found them!

d on how professionally everything was done, as well as how gorgeous the venue was. We were the only wedding of the day, so we had the venue to ourselves, which really made our wedding feel private and special. We couldn’t have found a better place!

y for the backdrop of the grounds. Alyson was quick to respond and so knowledgeable about little details that I definitely would have forgotten. She was an absolute joy to work with! The spa & bridal suite is a MUST. We had access to the whole house all day to relax, eat, and have hair & make up done on site. The food was spectacular and all so fresh. We got the chocolate fountain for dessert and it was a huge hit!! I absolutely loved the presentation of it all.

ing about how amazing it was. Not to mention the food is fantastic! We originally planned a 2020 wedding that did not happen as expected due to COVID. We pushed back the reception to this year, so that we could invite our original guest list and get the full experience we wanted at Zukas. I’m so glad we did, it was worth the wait! The bridal suite is a beautiful spot for getting ready and worth the extra cost. Having the entire property to ourselves was great, as our guests could go take pictures outside on the beautiful grounds, enjoy the fire pit and gazebo, and not bump into other wedding parties. It’s also worth noting that it was a fairly chilly, overcast day, and the tent was well-heated. My only regret is that it’s over!!

on was so calm and organized throughout the process, even when we postponed our wedding from 2020 to 2021 due to the pandemic.

e day of run smoothly. Zukas was an absolutely gorgeous venue for our June 2021 wedding, and it was great to rent the bridal suite to stay overnight in and have the girls and I get ready in in the morning. The pricing on the packages was also a steal. I have no regrets, and neither will you if you choose Zukas!

us whenever we had a question or request during the months of planning, and despite the restrictions of COVID-19 for gatherings, Zukas helped up make the very best of it. The food was excellent, the staff delightful, and the grounds spectacular, and all at a very competitive cost. We could not have had such a special day without Zukas. I could not recommend them any higher.

before our wedding we had to make a quick decision on what to do to be able to have all the people we wanted there. Zukas could not have been more understanding and we wish them the very best!

helped us make sure she our day was perfect and beautiful! She executed our vision perfectly. We have been told so many times by our guests that our venue was spectacular! Our guests were highly impressed by how gorgeous the grounds are, how good the food and desserts were, and how friendly and helpful the staff was. Alyson worked so well with all of our vendors to make sure the day ran smoothly! Zukas and Alyson are both highly recommended!

went to Zukas in February of 2018 for our October 2019 wedding. It had just snowed the night before, but we made our way out to Zukas anyways to take a look. As soon as we drove up, and as soon as we walked into the indoor reception area, we knew that this was our venue. The pictures DO NOT do the space justice. Even with the snow on the ground and the fact that the tent that we would have our reception in was not up, we just knew this was where we had to have our wedding. Alyson is honestly the best coordinator you will work with! From the first day we reached out to see the venue, straight through to our wedding day, she was always so communicative (I'm not even sure if she gets any days off because she ALWAYS answers). She is so organized and so calm and made sure that everything was perfect day of! She also made sure that I actually got some of the food at cocktail hour which I was so thankful for! From the amazing grounds that offer a wide variety of photo options, to the beautiful reception tent (that is heated! For those of you who are scared that it will be cold in there for your October wedding...it won't be!), to the newly remodeled bridal suite, to the absolutely amazing food (we got so many rave reviews) I honestly couldn't have asked for a better venue! All of our guests raved that it was one of the most beautiful and elegant and "truly new england" weddings that they had ever been to.

des being absolutely gorgeous, Zukas as a venue includes food, drinks, linens, a bridal suite, and hair and makeup services, making my job planning the wedding so much easier! Alyson the coordinator is beyond attentive, helpful, and organized. The day went completely smoothly--our ceremony actually started exactly on time, all the details were perfectly arranged and setup by the time I walked in. Not to mention--the entrees and desserts are phenomenal. Not only was the wedding cake the best cake I have ever tasted, several guests said it was the best wedding food they've ever had! The chocolate fountain and mini ice cream cones were also a huge hit! And they made sure I actually got to eat all of the food I wanted to as the bride. I had the best day of my life here, and I couldn't recommend it more enthusiastically.

. And I am SO glad we did! Like so many of reviews of Zukas, I have to start by talking about Alyson, their event/day-of coordinator. Besides being the most calming and level-headed human being, she was also the most attentive and made sure every single detail of the wedding was absolutely perfect. We had so many moving parts, and as the day crept up, she answered every single question I had and problem-solved with me whenever I needed. Alyson, you are an angel! The venue itself was stunning. Getting married on 10/19/19 with an outdoor ceremony was everything I had hoped for - peak foliage, serene and private surroundings. I felt as though our ceremony was the only event happening for miles around. Later, the tent, the lighting, and paper lanterns through their vendor, Greg, created a warm and intimate reception. The food was incredible and Alyson helped me create the perfect menu, including passed hors d'oeurves and a three course sit-down dinner. The guests were raving! Overall, everything was beyond perfect. Book Zukas for your wedding, you won't be disappointed!

eat space for photos. We got married in front of the gazebo, which overlooks beautiful hills that were full of foliage in October. My guests were super impressed and almost all of them asked how I found such a gem. We got so many compliments on the food, too! Alyson was our venue coordinator and was a dream to work with. She was professional, super responsive to all of our questions, and understanding when we made (more than a few) changes to our plan for the big day. She was just wonderful! I could not recommend Zuka’s Hilltop Barn enough.

lk about someone who is good at her job... she answered every question nearly instantly, remembered every detail and request, and was a delight in making the day run smoothly. The food was spectacular, and they worked with us to create an awesome raw bar that was a hit with our guests. The grounds are stunningly beautiful, the bridal suite was the perfect, peaceful getting ready location for me and the girls, and every detail was above and beyond more perfect than we ever could have imagined. Do yourself a favor and book this venue!

son was extremely helpful from the very beginning when we were inquiring about Zukas. She answered all of our questions very quickly and she was patient with all that we were asking. After booking our date, she made the entire process leading up to the wedding so easy. The day of the wedding while we were getting ready, Alyson and her staff set up all of our decorations exactly how we wanted them. She made the entire night run so smoothly, seriously nothing went wrong!! If you are looking for a beautiful venue, exceptional staff, service, and food look no further!
