Friendly staff and BEAUTIFUL location. I went there for a…read morewedding in June, location is quite stunning, the barn is gorgeous and the grounds are well maintained. Things I would fix: Leave the buffet station out longer. It seems like the food was bright out then packed up WAY faster than people could eat. The coffee station should be left out till the END. Was packed up an hour prior to end. People who were drinking (or working the wedding) all night should have the choice of coffee before they leave. **set up a small table of such for VENDORS. I saw vendors eating in the lobby because they had no place to eat or sit. Not cool.

We were so lucky to have Shannon and all of the other staff assisting us and having everything timed and ready to go. We are so blessed to have had our special day at the Barn at Bull Meadow and wouldn't have changed anything at all! Shannon was very responsive to emails back and forth from me, was very nice, and had a good personality. The closers were also awesome! I appreciate all the help and ceremony precession direction! Everything was well executed and we had a great time!

The food, I wish I could eat there everyday, filet and chicken, and the butternut squash! If you are looking for a a mix of rustic and modern this is it! An absolute blessing to have Avery and Michelle. The tag team dream team, what an amazing coordinator and perfect attended. They helped make this day perfect, it was the smoothest day. From making every detail of the decor design set up perfect and also they packed the car with all our decor after the wedding. And making sure we were well hydrated. If I could do it all over again this is the place we would come. Avery thank you so much! Birchwood thank you for being you.

There are good sized bridal and groom's room for getting ready for the event. For this wedding the family gathered in the front room where we could watch picture taking outside. There was a large bar with lots of offerings. For the wedding we walked to an adjourning room. It was large. Chairs were set up for the ceremony. A fireplace was lit up front. Piped music sounded fine. Candles were lit. Along the walls were round tables set for dinner. Following the ceremony the guests left to go to the front room for drinks and very nice hors d'oeuvres. That's when the set tables were moved out and arranged for dinner. Then the guests moved to the prepared dining area. A DJ played music. The wedding planner was present and took care of everything. We attended on a snowy day and the rooms were very cold. So ladies, wear a wrap or jacket until the dancing starts.

The buffet was hot and tasty, the bartenders for the host bar were friendly and speedy, and the AV worked well for the speeches and videos. We were allowed to bring in our own decorations and cake, too. There was lots of parking. There were multiple events being held in different rooms simultaneously, and everything went smoothly for our group.

Have been in the function room for two events so far and it's always been incredibly well serviced…read more The people who work there keep things running smoothly and easily. Both times was buffet service and people brought their plates up. Bar was full service and the bartender was quick and efficient. I do think it's a little pricey for a function, but all things considered, if you can afford it then it's a no brainer. I've never had any hiccups with events at this venue. Also where else can you get a mudslide and tenders like those?

Once you get past those gates you really get to take the whole castle in and it's beautiful. This place was such a great backdrop for pictures that the wedding didn't really need much decorating. I also loved that the wedding guests were allowed to roam the castle and take pictures inside. This place really gave that elegant and vintage look that the bride was looking for. The person in charge of the castle was so friendly and kept walking around making sure everyone was comfortable and all their needs were being met. This place is a gem hidden among the trees and is truly a beautiful location for a wedding.

Not only that, but the entire staff was amazing from start to finish. They were all super accommodating and moved with a purpose, they all worked so seamlessly together. I had an accident with my foot right in the middle of cocktail hour, where I was sure I was going to have to go to the hospital, and the party would have to go on without the bride and groom. The entire staff acted immediately with first aid, getting medical attention, and even set up a hidden stool with ice under my table to elevate my foot. They all made sure I was taken care of and went above and beyond our expectations. I can't say enough about the staff and how incredible my experience was with them all. They have an onsite catering company, and the food was so delicious! On top of all that, A BEAUTIFUL venue for a romantic, memorable, fairy tale wedding. The scenery is picture perfect, and our photos turned out phenomenally! A beautiful venue inside and outside, every inch of the castle is breathtaking. My husband and I feel so lucky to have gotten married here. If you are looking for a perfect venue for a wedding your guests will NEVER forget, book your wedding at Searles Castle!

WineNot is a hidden gem in Nashua--it's so easy to pass by and not even notice it…read more If you enjoy wine, it's such a treat. Bored with the tired old brands in the supermarket? Head over to WineNot and talk to someone who knows about wine and will help you find what is right for you. Better yet, go to the free tastings on Friday and Saturday afternoons - you don't get to try before you buy at Shaw's or the state store. You taste 4 or 5 interesting wines with no obligation to buy anything - although you'll be happy if you do - great conversation, too. The good news is that many super wines at WineNot cost about the same as you are paying elsewhere (maybe less in many cases), but the service is unbeatable. Want to learn to appreciate wine more deeply? Check out their tours to the great wine-growing regions of the world and their wine education courses. Think it's too snobby? Nope - I always wear t-shirts and shorts and never feel out of place there. Good wine is for everyone!

Beautiful location and Mat, the proprietor, is excellent at wedding planning with you.read more

Curtis Farms is beautiful yes. But Matt and his family are unprofessional…read more Firstly, and most importantly, Matt is terrible at communication which makes it extremely frustrating and stressful to plan a wedding. He is impossible to get a hold of to answer questions (after you put your deposit down). He is a big talker when you first meet him but he is just a used car salesman who treats you like he has no time for you the minute he gets your deposit. Secondly, the night of the wedding, his two boys were running around my wedding eating my dessert table. And this was early in the night too, (not leftovers). Matt was also drunk by the end of the night. It was basically a big party for them. Another thing, which is least important, he did not set up the tent and furniture until the morning of my wedding. So I could not see where he was putting things to change them. He also said he was going to put stuff out and then didn't. You can pay extra to use his furniture collection but he doesn't pay attention to what you want from it. It's honestly junk too. Lastly, there is only a porta-potty. There are no actual bathrooms for your guests. If you look at the Venue in the winter he will hide that fact so just be careful because renting bathrooms is expensive.

It's Time to jump into The TimeMobile & scour the Earth & take you to places from a different time that you won't believe still exist. We have set the dial to 1875 to the town of Haverhill MA. & Winnekenni Castle. Many people think that you have to jump the pond & visit Jolly Old England & The UK to see a Castle. Not True. America has many castles; unfortunately they are just not being promoted. This trip is less than 1 hour drive outside of Boston. Bring a Picnic basket, a water bottle & some good sneakers for an easy 20 minute nature walking hike. After your hike, head back to your car & pull out the picnic basket for a picnic on the green grass on the banks of the Lake. The inside of the Castle is Closed & is only open for Functions, Weddings & Special Events etc. Don't worry you will still be able to see the outside of the Castle close up, the Castle Grounds & lots of other cool stuff. Park your car at the bottom near the playground in the Parking lot or on the side of the road where the signs allow Parking. There are closer Free Parking lots on the way up but you will miss out on all the Adventure & The Winnekenni Castle Hike. So Park your car & follow the signs on Castle Rd. up to the Castle. There are multiple trails & if you like hiking & are more adventurous you can go for several miles all around the Lake. We're going to do an easy trek - a 20 minute hike up & lots of natural settings to see. You will travel along the dirt trails along the lake shore & up the hill to the Winnekenni Castle. THE HISTORY Winnekenni Park Conservation Area is 700+ acres that overlooks the Kenoza Lake which is Haverhill's primary drinking water source. Dr. James R. Nicola built the Castle between 1873 & 1875. He was inspired by the stone structures & castles he visited in England. This was his former residence that he used as a summer home. It is not a huge Castle but modest in size but beautiful. Speaking of Beautiful, the word Winnekenni is taken from the Algonquin Dialect meaning Very Beautiful. C Willis Damon was the Haverhill architect who designed this Magnificent Castle. In 1875 the city of Haverhill purchased it along with some additional land in later years. Besides nature walking & jogging, you can do bicycling, cross country skiing in the winter months, horse back riding & other activities. Like I said The Castle is open for Private Special Events. There is no tour here. They also have Special Public Events every so often that they open the Castle up & are either reasonably priced or even Free sometimes. Check the website for further details & upcoming events. You can check out my other review about Winnekenni Park also. There are picnic tables & benches here or just put a blanket on the green grass & Chill. There's even a Playground Area with Swings, a Slide etc here for Kids. So have a great time exercising, explore & learn about the great outdoors on your adventure, see a castle & have a fun picnic on the green grass on the outskirts of the lake. And guess what? IT'S ALL FREE! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be Really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!
