Attended a family friend's wedding here and I was impressed. Cocktail hour had tables with seats as well as higher tables for standing, nicely spread out. Bartenders were speedy in making drinks during open bar, and there were servers walking constantly during cocktail hour for hors d'oeuvre or picking up empty glasses/used napkins. The seating at the garden for the ceremony and indoor for reception was beautiful and classy. Definitely made me want to start planning my own wedding!

We had a great experience with my sons Bar Mitzvah. From start to finish we enjoyed working with the Saphire Estate. We want to a couple of tasting to get a feel for the food. We loved that all the options tasted like they were handmade. Wei also like that the garden offered a nice place to hold my sons service and allowed for a quick transition to the party. Emma ddI a great job as our coordinator. Our photographer and entertainers had an easy time utilizing the space. Guest had a great time.

Besides saying "YES" to my new husband, choosing the Saphire Estate was the best decision I made during my wedding process. I took a tour with Emily and she was amazing - answering all of our questions. My husband and I fell in love with the venue and it was our first choice. We loved the lake and the manicured grounds of the estate. The entire process was so easy - they DO weddings - this is their thing. I always felt confident they knew what they were doing and they were there to guide me through it all. All of there preferred vendors were wonderful, and we ultimately chose many of

I am the father of the Bride writing this review after my daughter's $25k wedding at the Saphire Estate. My wife and and I went in with high expectations and left very disappointed with the Saphire Estate , the wedding planner and the rude staff especially the bartenders after paying $2500 for open bar. Our list of complaints are long and we have chosen to not to go into depth per request of our newly married daughter and her special day. All you need to know is our other twin daughter is going to get married in the next year or two and it will not be at the Saphire Estate.

The Saphire Estate and the amazing staff that work there made our day run absolutely perfectly. My husband and I have been at weddings where many little things went wrong, and impacted the night as a whole. That is not the case at Saphire! Everything ran smoothly, from the set-up to the photographs to the timeline. During our cocktail hour, we had a personal attendant with us to provide us with our own appetizers so that we stayed fed and hydrated. During the evening, both our personal attendant and wedding planner made sure that things ran smoothly, and adjusted timelines without making it noticeable

Our entire experience with the Saphire Estate was amazing! From our initial tour to our numerous planning meeting to the BIG day, everything was perfect!
We originally checked out The Villa (also a Saphire Event Group Property) and although we really liked The Villa, it just wasn't for us. When we drove up to the Saphire Estate, I instantly fell in love with the Estate. The grounds are immaculate, the lake view from the estate is absolutely priceless and the Estate inside is beautiful.
Our wedding was July 2, 2017 and we had a beautiful summer day (80's and sunny)! When we arrived

Hubs and I got married here. Lemme tell you it's a huge rip off!!! I am shocked to see all of these positive reviews. Maybe those people have TONS of money to throw away? The "beach" is tiny. Basically standing room only. Food was mediocre at best. Every tiny detail is an upgrade. You will pay for it. Bartenders are rude. If you leave anything behind they will throw it away or keep it and tell you they can't find it. They will promise you the world before you sign a contract. After that it's a totally different story. We regret doing business with this place.

As soon as my husband and I walked into Saphire Estate we knew that this was it! Jason Pratt showed us around and helped us with the booking process and he honestly was just so amazing I was kind of sad when he told me we wouldn't be working with him further. Then came the most amazing part of Saphire, Elizabeth Coleman. How do you even describe someone as amazing as her?! She answered every email, helped me through the entire planning process and overall was just an amazing person to have by my side! The day of the wedding the venue looked so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes! Every

Beautiful place, had a wedding for a family member the ceremony was beautiful staff are so nice and friendly, with the exception of one bartender I think she's head bartender. She was very unprofessional and rude not sure if it was because there was a large amount African-American and she felt uncomfortable. Dont think we will be using this venue anymore

I am surprised by the low ratings from some of the other people. We got married at the Saphire Estate last week and we absolutely loved it. From the appetizers to the late night sliders, the food was delicious. The grounds are beautiful. The staff knows what they're doing and kept us on schedule all night. As the bride and groom, we didn't need to pay attention to anything on the day of - the staff would find us if we needed to be somewhere and made sure the night kept moving.
During the planning process, all of my questions were quickly answered and I was pleased by how accommodating

I looked at The Saphire Estate two weeks ago during my wedding venue search. It was the fifth place I had seen. This place is great for many reason; 1) exclusive use of the property. Many venues will hold two or more weddings at once. Here, you'll be the only wedding on the property. 2) gorgeous. You can see the lake from the front of the building where the reception is held. The cocktail hour and ceremony can be held outside with plenty of privacy. There is a patio so you won't be walking in the grass. The inside has a beautiful bar and dance floor. The ceilings are somewhat low but

Not sure why this place has mediocre reviews. My fiance and I were considering this place for a wedding and we ultimately decided to go with another venue because it was a better fit for us because I didn't really want to go with the traditional sort of hall for our reception. But I still wanted to write a review for the Saphire Estate because I felt it deserved a nod anyway.
The garden here is absolutely stunning. Between the gorgeous landscaping and the lush fountain, it doesn't get much better than this for an outdoor ceremony. The reception hall is huge and done up nicely in white

Other reviewer, Stephanie A., is my wife, and I have to echo what she said. All our vendors found Hillary (and her staff) easy to work with, and from the moment we started looking for a wedding venue until the ceremony and reception, they were always very clear about what to expect. Their contract and wedding binder were clear about costs and their staff were always willing to walk us through everything. It was easy to see what the venue would look like, what the food would taste like, how things would be set up, and who would be there to help us. They made things easy, which is exactly what

We had our wedding at the Saphire Estate in November 2014, and we were very happy with the venue and staff. We were on a budget, and the coordinators helped us plan a wedding that was affordable for us and that met our needs. We're not a traditional couple, but we never faced any sort of judgment from the staff.
We mainly worked with Hillary, and she was amazing. We always had a great time when we'd meet with her, and she worked so hard to make sure our wedding was exactly the way we wanted.

We came here for a friend's wedding and absolutely loved it. Beautiful setting, right on the lake. I loved the blue lights in the corners of the room that gave it a romantic glow. The ceremony was right in front of the big fireplace which was intimate and cozy for the small wedding. The food was great, specifically the late night Mac n cheese bar. Only complaint was that the bar was shut down before the reception ended, and the bartender was not particularly nice about it.

Attended a friends wedding there. It is a simple nice place. Service was smooth and friendly. Food was great. Very nice salad, salmon with potatoes and asparagus (unfortunately I dislike asparagus), rolls and coffee all were good. The yard in fall colors was just stunning. I would have a party here (if it wasn't on the wrong side of Boston).

The Saphire Estate (formerly known as the Saphire Manor) is a flexible and friendly wedding venue.
They can accommodate both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. The main dining area has a beautiful dance floor and can be customized to make a very unique space. The bride and groom suites are spacious and have lots of huge mirrors so there's no elbowing to see oneself as one is getting ready. The staff is quick and efficient.
Best of all, they have a bit of private beach overlooking a lake. The beach is small and only the immediate wedding party is allowed to be on it, but you can do some
