    We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding! We wanted a venue with history, beautiful views, affordable, and only had one wedding a day -- and we got it! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning scenery and beautiful architecture. The staff was incredibly accommodating, the bartenders were so thoughtful. One brought in mint from her garden, as mojitos were my favorite drink! While there were a few moments of uncertainty and lack of communication in the planning process, it didn't take away from the magic of the day. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect, surrounded by lush greenery and gorgeous views. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was! Inside, the reception area was equally impressive, with plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The food was absolutely delicious, and they offered a variety of options that everyone loved. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the decor to the service. Overall, our experience at this venue was nothing short of magical. We feel so lucky to have chosen this place to start our new chapter together. Highly recommend it to any couple looking for the perfect and affordable wedding venue!

    The grounds and venue are beautiful, the food and bar service was great. The “coordinator” could of been more helpful. Guests were not directed where to go when they arrived which led to confusion. Set up and breakdown was left to the bridal party. Also beware of hidden fees day of. We paid for an open bar for 80 guests and during the reception were asked for a credit card because we reached our “bar limit”.

  • Absolutely gorgeous venue, FLAWLESS experience!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about The Mansion at Bald Hill! From the stunning gardens and outdoor spaces - the most beautiful ceremony site I've ever seen! - to the sprawling grounds, the Mansion itself, and the reception venue - everything is literally perfect! As a wedding photographer, not only do I recommend this venue to my clients without hesitation, but we also held my brother's wedding there, and Janet and her team created the MOST amazing experience for our family and guests! This is consistent with the feedback I hear from all of my photography clients - the Mansion provides a gorgeous outdoor space, a stunning reception venue, AMAZING food, and the client experience is just perfect :)

  • We booked this venue 10 days before the wedding!

    The Mansion at Bald Hill hosted our daughter's wedding reception recently. We cannot say enough about the experience we had there! The food was delicious, and it was served by a professional, polite wait staff. The ambiance was amazing. The cocktail hour was outside on the patio. The guests loved the fire pit! The dining room was beautiful and comfortable, accommodating our 86 guests, no more than 6 per table, which were 6 feet apart. Dancing was outside in a tent with a 6 piece band. Two weeks before the wedding, we never thought our daughter's and son-in-law's special day could look like this. Their wedding reception was originally planned at a venue in MA, but the Covid guidelines changed on 8/11, reducing outdoor gatherings in MA to 50 people, from 100 people. We had already reduced the size of the wedding from 200 to 100, back in July when the guidelines were changed initially. The church was in Worcester, MA, so we were able to travel to this venue in CT, where the guidelines allowed us to have close to the 100 we had planned for. We would have had to cancel the wedding if we had to keep it to 50, because our family is larger than 50, and we could not leave out family. Janet came to our rescue, after I reached out to her on August 11. She made this magical day happen in 10 days, as if she had a year in advance to plan it! She is amazing-so easy to work with, so professional and efficient and couldn't do enough for us to make it the wedding they always dreamed of! This venue is a gem!
