Claire and I got married here on September 18th, 2026! I can't express how incredible the venue,…read morethe management team, the waiting staff, and the whole experience was. When we began planning and search for New England venues in 2025, we knew we wanted a venue that reflected the beauty of Massachusetts and could handle several loud happy families in a big celebration. From the step 1, the Barn at Gibbet Hill's wedding coordination team made the planning process so painless - recommending top vendors from the area, ensuring we had all our ducks in a row on time, and supporting us towards reaching a perfect plan for our wedding ceremony on reception. We had friends who previously got married at Fruitlands Museum, not too far from the Barn, so we knew about the incredible food first and foremost. If you've not eaten from any of the venues under the Webber Restaurant Group, you need to. For a reception of 165+ guests, we were blown away by the quality of our meals. Additionally, I have a serious nut allergy and many of our friends and family carry varying food preferences/allergies. They were extremely accommodating in hosting a completely nut-free wedding, catering the menu exactly to our needs so that no one had to stress at all the whole day. During the reception, Claire, myself, and all our guests were given tremendous care and service the entire night. The venue is gorgeous this time of year, but I don't think there's a single season of the year you couldn't get amazing views and atmosphere at the Barn.

I don't even know where to begin--5 stars all around! The Barn at Gibbet Hill is truly something…read morespecial. The Venue & Team: Having grown up in the next town over, Gibbet Hill has always held a special place in my heart. It's where my husband and I went on early dates and celebrated anniversaries, so when we got engaged, I dreamed of a beautiful winter wedding at The Barn. I honestly assumed it would be outside of our budget, but after touring multiple venues, I quickly realized that Gibbet Hill was right on par in price--and incredibly willing to work with any budget. Nothing else compared. Nothing checked all the boxes the way The Barn did. Shoutout Bree--our coordinator, planner, event manager, director of sales, and overall wedding miracle worker. She is FANTASTIC, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. From our very first phone call, she walked me through every option, every detail, every add‑on--with endless patience. I had quite a bit of anxiety around planning, especially since we didn't start until about seven months before the big day, but she made the entire experience seamless. With 300+ weddings under her belt, she knew exactly how to guide us. She helped us design our menu, advised us on where to splurge or save, coordinated the timeline with all our vendors, and even bustled my dress. She made sure we had a quiet 15‑minute moment together after the ceremony--just us, taking it all in with appetizers. She went above and beyond in every single way to make our day easy, special, and absolutely stress‑free. We LOVED working with her. The Space: The barn itself is stunning--warm, elegant, and adaptable. It's spacious enough for a 200‑person celebration yet intimate enough for smaller weddings. We had 75 guests, and the way they set up and decorated the room made it feel breathtakingly beautiful. The Food: OUT. FREAKING. STANDING. Our guests are still talking about it six months later. We chose family‑style dining, and it was such a fun, interactive experience--everyone loved getting to try everything rather than choosing just one entrée. The steak, the fish, the mushroom cream tortellini (incredible!), the broccolini, the mashed potatoes--everything was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. I would recommend the family‑style option a thousand times over. The Staff: Every single person--from the waitstaff to the bartenders to the behind‑the‑scenes team--was phenomenal. A special shoutout to Shannon, our dedicated server for the night. She kept our drinks topped off, reminded me to switch into comfortable shoes, and made sure we were having the best day of our lives. If you're considering getting married at The Barn at Gibbet Hill--do it. Planning with their team is smooth, easy, and completely stress‑free. It was everything we dreamed of and more. I can't recommend it highly enough!

This is stunningly beautiful place for a natural setting wedding and it is near a pond too, so you…read morecan have pictures by the water. Heck, maybe you can arrive in style, being rowed in on a boat! For the budget bride who likes something a little different, this place is a find. You can submit a rental inquiry online now (thank goodness), and it includes a set price for the whole/half day, a dining/function hall 1400sq foot, hardwood floors, air conditionining, a fully equipped kitchen (for your caterer of choice), tables and seating (so you don't have to pay more for rental). I confess, I never got to visit this place since I ended up finding my wedding site at First Parish Church United in Westford, MA, but I obsessed about this place for a long time. The outdoor wedding, the wedding pictures on a lighted deck...you should definitely consider this place if you're very strict on budget (at the time it was $500 for the whole day) but still want to have a beautiful wedding for 100 people or less.

Don't even bother. I…read moreread Ross's review so I knew I was going to be dealing with slow communication and I was okay with that: I'm planning a wedding for 2018 or 2019 (1-2 years from now). No biggie. Replies were slow, and the person I was in contact with wasn't very open. I first contacted (I'll call him "Kal") at the end of March. He said he could only show the place on Sundays. My fiance works Sundays and can not get that day off... but after a few e-mails we decided that Sunday at 1 would be fine. We now needed to pick a Sunday. We picked one, which turned out to be Easter day (we could make it but Kal couldn't: totally understandable) but we kept going back and forth saying "that Sunday won't work for me" or "I can't do that Sunday", etc... Fine. I get it. People can be busy and we have a lot of time to plan this thing out: no hurry, no worries. Then one day I get an e-mail from Kal: "Unfortunately I am not available any of the dates that you have listed. we have reached our quota of rentals for this year, so rentals are closed for 2017. As a result I am not scheduling special appointments to show the lodge. I know you are looking for next year. We will not be reserving any dates or booking events for next year until January of 2018." Now, I don't know about you guys, but to me, that means "screw you, we already have made enough money with booking so we're not going to put in the effort to even show you the place." My fiance and I just wanted to see the place: that's all. Not have any booking or anything, just SEE IT. I sent an e-mail back (on April 11th) explaining that to Kal, but now it's May 6th and still no reply from Kal. As far as I know, this place just wants your money and that's it. My advise to anyone thinking about going to this place is... just don't bother. It was a waste of my time and it might be a waste of yours. (I am going to link Kal this review: maybe their customer service will be better from here on out) Good luck.

We especially loved the model Christmas villages room and the room of unique Christmas trees. The mini Christmas villages were so intricate and detailed and it was a massive collection.

Highly recommend coming here for the Christmas event and will be sure to come back and see the gardens when it's back in season (no snow). My only critique is that for the last day it closed at 4pm which didn't give us time to see the lights at night decorations.

They house a multitude of different plants including orchids, camellias, & grapes grown from cuttings taken in England in the late 1800's. There is also a sale house where you can purchase houseplants, flowers, herbs, etc. It's worth the time to stop in on a nice afternoon to walk around the property, and especially to see the greenhouses.

I wasn't sure what to expect at Boundless, but I think they really helped a lot with making sure we felt comfortable and safe! I recommend bringing your own protective gardening gloves. They rent gloves on site as well. There are porta pottys on site as well as gatorades and ice cream in a cooler, and a dirt lot to park your car in. There is a station where staff members harness you up and then you go through a safety training where you learn how to use your zip line truck and your clickits. You can practice a little bit and then you are ready to hit the courses! The ropes courses are color coded by difficulty. Yellow to green to blue to black. I found the various elements unpredictable and interesting! Courses can include climbing elements or ziplines, moving through tree tops and wooden platforms. It's a lot of fun! The staff will rescue you if you are stuck or fall off. I had a hand injury and wanted to exclusivly zipline but I realized that there are no standalone zip lines, you have to move through the courses in order to get to ziplines. I ended up finding a nice barrel/tunnel to hang out in on one of the greens. I rested there for 30 minutes and people watched, dozed slightly, etc. It was very calm and lovely! Def the highlight of my visit. I was also very pleasantly delighted by the wonderful help from staff members who were constantly wandering and monitoring people. I lost a croc charm and a staff member noticed and helped me look for it. I was reallly grateful for their proactiveness! If it's a hot day, don't forget to drink water between each course!

Fraudulent behavior - BEWARE - I called the Kenosha location at 3:43pm yesterday to confirm the…read moreKenosha location was open; I was told by the person who answered the phone that they were open. I then, at 3:46pm, purchased nearly $300 in tickets on Boundless's website (from my phone) for me and three kids. I then drove 1.5 hours to Kenosha from Chicago, only to find upon arrival that it was closed. I went back to see what the email said and saw that, somehow due to a glitch with Boundless's website (and despite being told by someone at Boundless's Kenosha number that they were open), the tickets were for their Purchase, NY location. I then immediately called the number for the Purchase NY location to resolve Boundless's error and found out it was closed as well (despite selling me a ticket for that same evening)! I then immediately emailed Boundless and requested a refund due to the glitch on Boundless's website and the false and misleading information provided by the Boundless employee when I called prior to purchasing the tickets, and was refused a refund by the company's owner, Lorrie Funtlyder (she insisted I take a credit for the nearly $300 for services not rendered by Boundless).
