Stevens Estate At Osgood Hill

We just had an event at the Stevens Estate. The mansion is impressive. Our guests loved it and so did we. We could not have asked more of Gail. She was very friendly and professional. Behind the scenes she made sure all was right.

I can remember my now-​husband telling me to play it cool as we drove up the long, hilly driveway to drive up to the immaculate mansion because he knew I fell in love right away. The inside didn’t disappoint either. It was a spacious area with multiple rooms that were gorgeously decorated. Gail was super friendly, informative and gave us our space to discuss and explore. We quickly put down a deposit for the very last Saturday available in 2015 (don’t wait too long, dates go fast!). Our decision wasn’t solely because of the beautiful location, it was because it was actually an affordable venue that didn’t charge you for every single little thing, the bar options were flexible and we could pick our own vendors. We originally had a caterer that we wanted to bring in, and circumstances didn’t work out and we were without a caterer late in the game. Stevens Estate recommended one of their preferred caterers that could accommodate our family style dinner and they were great. (Side note: definitely explore the preferred caterers before going out of their recommendations. They already know the kitchen and process so it just makes everything so much easier and puts you at ease. There are some awesome choices at different price ranges.) Throughout the year, Gail was quick to reply to my many emails and very accommodating to us when we wanted to stop by (we live an hour away and my parents don’t live in MA). The week leading up to the wedding, hurricane Joaquin gave us a little scare. Gail was so calming and helped us with everything we needed to do since we had our reception in the tent. Luckily, the weather held up. It was cold but with the sides on the tent, it warmed up really quickly with 200 guests, 14 or so servers and a 7 piece band. Even with that many people, the tent never felt crowded and there was enough space throughout the house and the grounds throughout the day. Gail was so helpful all day coordinating with vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly and on time. Our bus was late picking up the bridal party to get to the church ceremony and Gail was in touch with the bus company so we didn’t have to. She kept the reception flowing and let us know where we needed to be all with a smile and fun attitude. Towards the end of the night she pulled my husband aside to let us know we were nearing our cap for open bar and gave us options. We appreciated it because we ended up keeping it open longer. The day was absolutely perfect and a lot of that has to do with the awesome service from Gail, the bartenders and all the staff. Brides — don’t think twice! Book this place!
