Incredible hidden gem in central MA
The Harding Allen Estate provided the perfect venue for our wedding day. As a small business, their communication was consistently prompt, genuine, and enthusiastic throughout the planning process. We toured the property three times before booking our date, but the 1920s architecture and beautiful gardens captured our hearts on the first visit. The incredible, unique estate contributed an unforgettable backdrop on our special day that wowed our guests. Friends flew in from across the country and couldn't imagine a more perfect venue. The quality and attention to detail of their work, combined with the fair value, left us thrilled that we booked Harding Allen. I received so many compliments and would enthusiastically recommend any couple consider them for their big day!
THE BEST
The Harding Allen Estate is so special to us. We had our senior prom here back in 2013 and got married on 8/2/2024- it’s grown to mean a lot to us and we had the most amazing wedding day. Jasmine & every person on their team is so kind and helpful. They went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect and throughout the day were bringing us drinks, treats, and making sure things ran smoothly despite the rain that hit right before our ceremony. We spent the night there with our wedding party and had grilled cheese for the after party & a complimentary breakfast the next morning. I could not recommend them enough. They felt like family and my husband & I are already looking forward to planning our anniversaries there. The Harding Allen Estate is a hidden gem for sure. ️
So happy with my special day
We held our wedding ceremony and reception at the beautiful Harding Allen Estate and were so pleased with their gorgeous venue and grounds. Although at times their response time to emails was a bit slower than we would have liked, they more than made up for it in person. On the big day, the staff made sure everything was perfectly set up, on time, and they put very little stress on us as the bride and groom. The estate itself is simply an amazing space with beautiful architecture and landscaping that provided a wonderful backdrop for our photos and created lovely ambiance. Our guests could not stop complimenting the venue. Despite a few small communication hiccups early on, we were thrilled on our wedding day and that's what truly matters most!
10/10 recommend
We had our wedding here 10/2023 and had an amazing time. The venue is beautiful, Jasmine the event coordinator was great and the food was delicious. Would reccomend!
