I fell in love with this venue the first time I saw it, which was in the dead of winter! Even with nothing yet in bloom I could picture exactly how my wedding would look and how magical Glen Magna would make it. At my first visit when I confirmed that the pricing and amenities were accurate to what I was seeing online I almost cried I was so happy and relieved after dealing with a number of other venues with hidden fees etc. The team at Glen Magna is so straight forward and accommodating. The venue is absolutely incredible. We actually had rain on our wedding day and our coordinator Sam did everything she could to make sure we could get our picturesque ceremony in the garden, which we did and it was even more enchanting with the weather. Vinwood catering was also amazing and we had a great experience all the way from the tasting, to altering the menu to the staff and food on the day itself. If you're looking for a beautiful garden wedding with an incredible 11 acre property and stunning historical home I cannot say enough good things about Glen Magna. I'm so happy we found it and would relive that day over and over again if we could! Reviewed on 27-12-2023

Glen Magna Farms is a uniquely “Secret Garden-esquire” venue and it’s absolutely breathtaking. Heather did a great job of making sure we felt informed about all of the decisions we were making and kept in touch with us about important action items regularly. The tent we had our reception in was spacious, warm (despite the rain that day), and decorated beautifully. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was that I thought communication around the rain plan could have been better. Our original rain plan was to have the ceremony and cocktail hour in a smaller tent, and then our reception in the main tent. On the day of the wedding, it rained and we were informed that the policy had changed two weeks before, and we were no longer permitted to have two bars (one in the smaller tent and one in the larger/reception tent). It would have been nice for this change to be communicated beforehand, as most people prefer to have their cocktail hour and reception in two separate locations. While they ended up accommodating our request for the two bars in the end, the lack of communication about this change until the day of the wedding caused unnecessary stress and tension. Nonetheless we were pleased with our experience overall and had an amazing wedding day, thanks to Glen Magna’s hard work! Reviewed on 15-12-2023

Grateful for every Paige Plourde did for us before and during our wedding day to make it a success. We had a highly stressful situation of changing our date and they were able to do a partial refund and get us the date we wanted! I highly recommend this venue for a romantic, timeless, and garden-themed wedding. My husband and I are thankful for everything the crew and GMF did to walk us through planning. It doesn't hurt that the catering service they work with has gourmet food. Such a perfect venue, with reasonable prices for what you get. We toured many places, but even in the middle of winter, Glen Magna is the most stunning, private, and perfect. Reviewed on 29-11-2023

All we can say is WOW!! The Glen Magna crew was outstanding. They were helpful, flexible and professional. They understood what was needed and also gave a few opinions on the decorations that really helped with our decisions. We could not have asked for better service or location. Glen Magna Farms was an absolute perfect venue. Our venue coordinator, Sam, was extremely accommodating, helpful, and made working with her so simple. She did everything she could and more, to make sure our day was perfect. The grounds are beautiful, and they were able to accommodate everything our wedding needed. The tent itself was enchanting. Complete with gorgeous string lighting, beautifully dressed tables, chairs, and place settings. The dance floor was reasonably sized and the space had easy access to and from the mansion/bathrooms. The extensive grounds made it easy for guests to spread out and enjoy the beautiful gardens and take in a dream-like environment.Everyone fell in love with the venue and all of its scenic backgrounds . We took some beautiful pictures and gained loving memories that we will treasure forever. If you want a perfect venue with professional and friendly service.......choose Glen Magna Farms!!!

From the very beginning they were very responsive, answered all our questions and just over all really welcoming. The space speaks for itself with the gardens and the home. If you are looking for a gorgeous outside venue and a charming inside space both packed with amazing photo opportunities then this is your spot. I cannot thank Heather and Tiffini enough as my husband and I both got covid just days before our original wedding date in June and they were so quick to jump in, gave us open dates and helped us move everything to a new date. They honestly helped save our wedding and for that we are so grateful. The day went smoothly, and their team was professional, hospitable, and really took care of us and our guests.

Natalie Pate(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2022 We could not be happier that we chose to get married at Glen Magna Farms! The gardens are truly breathtaking, and walking into the venue feels like you have been transported to another world. We loved having our wedding spaced out in different parts of the property, with the ceremony in the garden, cocktail hour on the lawn behind the house, and then the reception under the included sailcloth tent. The property is impeccably maintained, and our wedding guests enjoyed being able to explore the grounds during our wedding.Beyond the beautiful property, the inclusions with our rental of Glen Magna were a bonus. We were glad to avoid the extra cost and hassle of sourcing our own tent or tables & chairs. Although we had initially wondered whether the their exclusive catering contract with Vinwood was limiting, we came to see this as a benefit since Vinwood’s longstanding relationship with Glen Magna translated to the catering staff working like a well-oiled machine on our wedding day. We had easy communication during our planning process with the Glen Magna manager and day-of coordinator. Getting married at Glen Magna Farms felt like we had found a hidden gem of a wedding venue in the Boston area! Reviewed on 10-09-2022

We loved that we could host our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all on the grounds. Our guests were so impressed with the venue, it was truly a fairytale garden. One of the real highlights of working with Glen Magna was Ellen. Ellen was our main liaison leading up to and on the day of our wedding. She was incredibly helpful and responsive and made sure our day was perfect. Ellen was ever present throughout the day, including helping me bustle my very complicated dress not once, but twice!

Katrina Gomez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2021 If you are looking for a venue for your wedding that is romantic, timeless, and professional. Seriously, look no further. Glen Magna has been hosting weddings for YEARS and still isn't known by many which made our wedding that much more special. This breathtaking venue is tucked away, down a long gravel road, surrounded by beautiful gardens. The opportunities for photos are EVERYWHERE. The pergola is the perfect location for that whimsical ceremony, the tent for a moody candle lit evening, and the mansion as your rich focal point. They work exclusively with Vinwood caterers who blew us out of the water with their HOT and FLAVORFUL apps and entrees. Heather was our point of contact and day of coordinator and without her I don't know if our day would have been as special as it was. She was extremely professional, gave spectacular advice, and even provided us with personal photos she took behind the scenes. It may seem silly because although they aren't professional photos they gave us the guest perspective of our day which brought smiles to our faces as we could see how beautiful everything truly was. We are so grateful for her, the Vinwood team, and the ground keepers of the property. If it wasn't for them, none of our greatest memories would have been made possible. Reviewed on 29-09-2021
Sarah D(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2021 We cannot say enough good things about Glen Magna. So many guests told us what a beautiful place and wedding it was. My cousin got married at another venue on the North Shore and commented that she couldn't believe that Glen Magna existed and it was the best venue on the North Shore! Heather made everything run seamlessly, we weren't worried about a thing for setup, break down, etc. The food was delicious, especially the hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour. The gardens in late August are just incredible -- everything is blooming with so much color. If you're looking for a garden wedding, Glen Manga is for you. It is so charming and beautiful, all our guests were thrilled. Not only is it a stunning location, but their staff went above and beyond to help us reschedule our wedding during Covid. We were supposed to get married at Glen Magna in June 2020, but delayed until August 2020 because of Covid. When it became clear that August 2020 would still not be safe for a large wedding, we postponed until August 2021. Glen Magna worked with us to easily and seamlessly move our wedding TWICE, and never changed the pricing. They then allowed us to hold a short, family-only ceremony under the tent in August 2020, and let us use their tables and chairs. It poured during that ceremony so we held it under the tent, but their day-of staff (Paige) held an umbrella over me while I walked down the aisle. The ceremony is still beautiful under the tent because the gardens make a lovely backdrop, so your rainy day back up is set and seamless. We cannot recommend Glen Magna enough. Their customer service is exceptional and the charm and beauty of the venue just cannot be beat. Reviewed on 26-09-2021

When searching through we didn’t think the photos online appealed to us very much, but walking around the beautiful house and grounds, we knew it would be exactly what we wanted. But we were still so blown away the day of after all the tables, decorations, and everything else was put into place. We are still to this day talking about how no other venue could have lived up. Many guests said the same thing, they all said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they’ve ever been to, and so many of them were running around exploring the house and various garden paths to snap as many photos as they could. The romantic garden was exceptional for our ceremony, the house and grassy lawn brought the unique flair for cocktail hour, and the cozy tent surrounded by flowers and brick walls was absolutely stunning. Our coordinator Sam knocked it out of the park – she was extremely responsive and was great about reaching out to vendors for the things we didn’t know how to handle. There were hardly any hiccups and if there were any bigger issues, Sam must have taken care of it because I didn’t hear or notice a thing! They also impressed me with the speed of the cleanup – we went from a full tent and decorations everywhere to everything in our cars ready to go in about 45 min.

The location is out of a fairy tale (trust us, go visit the large Willow Tree they have on their property) and our guests could walk amongst the gardens and grounds to socially distance when necessary. The staff were incredible, keeping us up-to-date and on schedule during the reception. Right now, everyone is more comfortable outside and Glen Magna has a wonderful tent that allowed us to have 50 guests (including us!) plus their staff, our photographer, DJ, etc. We didn't feel the pandemic \"looming over us\" at all; instead, we got to have a beautiful wedding at what may be the most gorgeous venue Greater Boston offers.

Nina Member(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2015 My husband and I recently got married at Glen Magna Farms this past September and they had beyond exceeded our expectations in every way. From our first visit the Venue, completely mesmerized us as it did to each of our guests on our big day. The beautiful historic estate is hidden away surrounded by so many fun and unique gardens/coves on the grounds. Which made for breathtaking photos.\r\rHeather and Robin were great and very helpful. Robin was our wedding coordinator the day of our wedding and she was amazing! She ensured everything went smoothing and kept my day stress free. Our day couldn’t have been more perfect and it had a lot to do with the great team and beautiful grounds at Glen Magna Farms. \r\rI would highly recommend any couple to visit Glen Magna Farms because I guarantee they will walk away just as mesmerized as my Husband and I were. \r Reviewed on 12-11-2015

Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-10-2014 When my wife and I decided to take a look at Glen Magna, we instantly fell in love. This was the first and last place that we looked. Everything was beautiful, the grounds were amazing, the beauty of the property was more than we could ask for. Heather King was amazing, every. single. detail that she took care of was incredible. One note, you do have to understand that she only works 35 hours a week, so you can't freak out if she doesn't get back instantly (like all of us Gen Yers want), but she is extremely responsive. She kept everything in line, took care of every detail and the place was amazing. Glen Magna is like a hidden gem in Danvers, NONE of my guests knew what the property looked like and they all loved it. This place is a photographer's dream too and my guests raved about all of the shots and selfies they were able to get. Love, love, love this place. Also, try Vinwood catering, they work so seamlessly with Glen Magna! Reviewed on 03-11-2014
Stephanie Schifano(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-08-2014 I stumbled across Glen Magna after researching wedding venues on The Knot. As soon as I saw it on that beautiful day in August, I knew it was \"the one\"! We did not want a traditional ballroom wedding and this was perfect. Historic, beautiful mansion that looks like it's from Gone With The Wind. Manicured lawns and breathtaking gardens. The entire venue has character. Ceremony in the garden under the columns of the pergola that's covered by very old wisteria, cocktail hour on the lawn and in the house, and dinner/dancing al fresco in the tent. Heather King was our coordinator from there and she was amazing: experienced, professional, calming. The property is part of the National Historic Society so it is nonprofit and the $ goes back into restoring the property...this made us feel good about where our money was going. This venue is a hidden gem. Reviewed on 12-09-2014

Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-05-2014 Let's face it, not all of us have been dreaming and planning our wedding since the age of 6 and pinterest can be overwhelming! Where do you even start, right?\r\rBeaches and banquet venues are lovely, but we were looking for something that would leave a lasting impression on our guests.\r\rGlen Magna Farms, nestled in Danvers, MA was the perfect setting for us. One of my favorite guest comments was, \"I grew up in Danvers, and never even knew this place existed. Even though we were close to home, it felt like a different world.\" \r\rOur coordinator was Heather King, who also serves as the Director of Events for the venue. She was remarkable. Her attention to detail paired with years of experience made for a stress-fee day.\r\rThey say seeing is believing and if you're like me, the website isn't going to cut it for you.

Amy Moses(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2014 I had my wedding at Glen Magna a few weeks ago and it was pretty much perfect. The gardens are beautiful and made for a great outdoor ceremony. We didn't need to use it, but they have a really great indoor option for the ceremony as well if the weather doesn't work out. We had dinner in the house so everyone could explore the historic mansion. The veranda worked great for the dancing afterwards. There are endless great places to take pictures outside as well. \r\rHeather was very helpful every step of the way. She suggested other vendors to use that were familiar with Glen Magna, coordinated before the wedding with all our vendors and then kept everything running smoothly during our wedding. She was very accessible through email for any questions as well. Reviewed on 08-07-2014

Brittany Loring(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-09-2013 Our wedding could not have gone better. Thanks to Heather and her staff the wedding was run seamlessly. When I got hot on the dance floor and asked a waiter to take care of opening another tent flap, it was done almost immediately. Heather came by to see how everything was going but somehow managed to stay completely in the background. In the beginning, it was a little hard to get in contact with the venue since there is not someone there at the phone during all business hours. However, once I had the venue booked, I was less antsy about hearing back immediately so this was not a problem. The garden was absolutely beautiful and the grounds are meticulously cared for. Heather was able to answer all of my questions as I went through the process and with her amount of experience was able to put all of my nerves to rest. She was very flexible with requests that I had to drop off certain things before the wedding and even helped me with some last minute table-runner cutting. I would definitely recommend this venue!\r Reviewed on 16-10-2013

Brenna Powers(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-06-2012 We really can’t say enough about the way Glen Magna handled our wedding. When looking back on the day we think about how smoothly everything went and what a great time everyone had. People left our wedding saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. They told us for weeks how wonderful it was. Granted, I'm sure just about every newlywed couple hears that, but we made people sign an affidavit swearing it was true.\r\rWe chose the venue for the gardens. We planned an outdoor ceremony under the pergola, wanted to get pictures of our wedding party by that cool tree and enjoy summer cocktails on the veranda. And then the torrential downpour of rain came and that plan went out the window! When planning an outdoor wedding, you obviously have your A plan and your B plan. And for as smoothly as everything went you never would have known the Glen Magna staff was working Plan B. Heather King was our coordinator and Paige was there to assist her. They did an amazing job! They also had to accommodate 135 guests in the drawing room for the Plan B ceremony, which worked out quite well. It definitely made for a more intimate, personal ceremony.\r\rWhen we were standing on the veranda watching the pouring rain and waiting to move into the tent for introductions, we asked Heather (who looked like she just went swimming her hair was so wet) if we had the worst wedding in terms of weather that she’s ever seen. She said top five. It was pretty bad! The staff was absolutely unbelievable. They got wet while keeping our guests dry and everything went off just like it was supposed to. Once under the tent it was as if it wasn’t even raining. And even in the rain everyone had wonderful things to say about the venue. They thought the house itself was gorgeous and the grounds were beautiful…soaked, but beautiful. If Glen Magna can host the best wedding my guests have ever been to in the weather we had, then I think any couple can be confident planning their wedding with them! \r\rAside from the amazing work they did during our event, the staff is also easy to work with throughout the planning process. And overall Glen Magna is very affordable. I think the biggest cost saver is the fact that they don’t have a liquor license. You provide your own alcohol and your caterer hosts the bar. We worked with Kappys – they assist you in determining how much alcohol to order then buy back anything you don’t use. After getting prices from various venues, this is without a double the most affordable way to go if you want open bar all night. \r\rSo in conclusion, Glen Magna is beautiful and the amazing staff can pull off the best wedding ever in a massive downpour.

Suzanne Wright(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-08-2011 So I dreamed of the outdoor garden wedding with the cocktail hour on the lawn, and dancing on the verandah... 10 months of planning every detail down to the second, and it all got blown away by Hurricane Irene. The house lost power, and only the emergency lights were on, and every detail I had planned had to be changed at the last moment. Robin and Heather and all the staff worked so hard to make my wedding a success. They went out and bought candles, they got generators, they got umbrellas... Even though not one single thing went as I had had planned, it was a beautiful wedding and all my guests loved it! The power came back on, the storm died down and we danced in the drawing room and on the verandah! It was a perfect wedding, and without the hard work and scrambling by the people of Glen Magna, it could have been a total disaster. It is a beautiful spot, with a great crew. If you are having your wedding here, use Vinwood Caterer in Ipswich, and use CZone in Natick as your DJ. They were the BEST team ever! Reviewed on 21-11-2011
Tatiana Varges(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-06-2011 I fell in love with this venue because of the beautiful gardens. It was the perfect combination of elegance, antique, and home wedding with the garden ceremony I'd always dreamed of. It drizzled most of my wedding, but do not fear if this happens to you. The ceremony was moved indoors and everyone loved it. I walked down the grand staircase and we got married in front of the french doors looking out on the back lawn. Thankfully the drizzling slowed down when people were heading to the tent outside and we were still able to take advantage of all the grounds for the pictures. \r\rHeather, the coordinator, was really helpful. The day of my wedding she managed everything and I didn't have to worry one bit. \r\rIt's not the cheapest venue, but it's worth every penny. We were able to get the alcohol on consignment, so we only paid for what people drank, but paid liquor store prices, not bar prices. That alone saved thousands. The caterer list is short, but it's a great list. The vendor lists they provide make it so easy to find all the different vendors you need. \r\rTrust me, go visit this place it's great if you're looking for a romantic, elegant, and outdoorsy wedding.

Ashly Siteman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2011 Glen Magna was BEAUTIFUL--everything we wanted for our wedding day. It offered everything we were looking for: exquisite gardens, a viable indoor option in case of rain, extensive grounds, and a well maintained house that you could actually use (some of the historic houses give you use of the grounds and a carriage house, but no access to the actual larger home itself). We had both the ceremony reception on-site, which made everything so easy logistically. Our day-of coordinator, Heather, was great. She kept the day running smoothly and went above and beyond to make sure all of the DIY details were taken care of. Reviewed on 29-09-2011
Sonya O(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-06-2010 I was married at Glen Magna Farms this summer. My wedding manager was Heather. She was great and had great ideas for things such as table settings and place cards. The venue is absolutely beautiful. My guests LOVED the venue and I had so many great places to take photographs. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because they have a vendor list for catering in which you have to pick one caterer from a list of about 5. So you can't find a caterer yourself which makes it tough if you are on a tight budget. Reviewed on 11-08-2010
