This is where we had our wedding last month! Originally, the ceremony was supposed to be outdoors…read morein the park, but we were rained out at the last minute. Thankfully, our preferred backup plan worked wonderfully. Usually, during the warmer season, if you get rained out, your back up is the tent that is attached to the Garden House. There's no polite way to say this: tent is not pretty. We did not want to use the tent. When we first saw the Garden House, we knew we wanted our back up to be in front of the fireplace with the guests all at their tables. That's what happened and it was perfect! We booked the Garden House a year and a half before our wedding. When we met with Jill, she was nice, but sort of distant. We didn't make a personal connection with her, but we connected with Look Park and the Garden House right away, so we booked it. When we returned for a visit this past summer, we met with Jill to go over some details and it was like she was a different person! Warm and personable and she even seemed excited for us! Maybe she's got a "sales" persona when she's showing the place because most people don't book...? Who knows? But the bottom line was that she was great to work with. On the day of the wedding, our on-site contact was Mari who was very calm and also great to work with. One thing we liked about the Garden House was that it's a non-profit. They fees we paid go directly to the Park, which is nice. The prices aren't bad- they're not rock-bottom, but you can get a break if you're a Northampton resident or you choose to have your wedding on an off-day or off-season. The Park is a beautiful place for pictures as well. They ahve a list of caterers you must choose from or pay a small fee. We liked this as it gave us some guidance- we are in the Boston area and know nothing about the caterers in Western MA. This at least narrowed our search! I would highly recommend getting married or having an event at the Garden House!

When we were in the process of choosing a location for our wedding reception, in addition to…read morewanting a place that was comfortable, visually appealing and a bit unique, my husband and I needed to know that the venue was well-managed. I'm (surprise!) fairly Type-A, and professionalism and communication is very important to me. Jilian, the Garden House's wedding coordinator, was excellent. She was down-to-earth and funny, and the planning process went smoothly with her help. Our day-of coordinator (whose name I have unfortunately forgotten) was also very sweet and helpful. The space itself is beautiful. I could offer an inadequate description, but if you're in the market for a reception venue, you'll want to check it out for yourself anyway!

Our guests were raving about the short ribs and chicken and even the veggies were a hit! The cobbler with ice cream was a fantastic way to end the meal and the servers were polite and helpful. Throughout our planning process, Seth was communicative and was able to accommodate all our 150+ guests and their dietary needs including personalized meals for vegans, many vegetarian options and keeping desserts with nut and gluten free. He met all our requests and worked with adding appetizers and desserts at a fair quote. Seth took the stress out of wedding planning. Thank you Seth

Seth was an excellent communicator and walked us through the decision making process. We decided to go with the deluxe buffet option and boy was it a hit. Each dish we tried was absolutely delicious. I have never seen a catered buffet with such generous portions. The stuffed chicken breast and short ribs were massive and would rival any full-size entree you could get in a restaurant. In addition to the incredible entrees, the sides were also quite delicious. A special shout out for the roasted red pepper tomato soup. It was amazing! Seth, thank you and your team for making our special day even more magical by providing such a wonderful experience for our guests. We will definitely use you for all of our future catering needs!

There is no keypad to get in to the building. The door is open during the day and let the host know if you're coming in late. The reason is the drilling of the holes into the walls is a problem and keypads don't last long requiring more holes. The rooms are not lockable from the outside. The place is very safe and there are security cameras tracking coming and going. There is ample, non-street parking. The location is very close to MGM Springfield and other attractions. The host lives here and is a wonderful person. There is a game room downstairs with a regulation pool table, an arcade, a Scottish chess board and a gym. It has it owns bathroom and kitchen area. More pictures coming tomorrow. For $150 a night you just can't go wrong! More to come tomorrow. I'm going to do the rest of the property. This place is amazing!
