From the reviews
We had our wedding at Cove Cabin and it was truly an unforgettable location. The inns were absolutely stunning and the inn keeper did a really nice job of ensuring the wedding party had everything we needed. It was an unforgettable experience and I would do it again.
What an amazing wedding venue. This spot is so cute!!! It has a lot of space for many different events! The landscape is lovely. They have indoor and outdoor accommodations!
Great spot for a getaway weekend or event. Very responsive staff. Breakfasts were delicious! Beautiful wedding venue and unique accommodations. Different room and housing options, we stayed in the Massasoit suite with the spiral staircase in the South Pasture House.
Completely enchanting. We've photographed two weddings here so far, both had different weather but both were absolutely gorgeous. The rooms here are beautiful and have a timeless New England charm. Endless photo ops around the property, and the inside of the barn is a unique and inviting place for dinner and dancing.
Getting married at Mt Hope Farm
Mt Hope Farm comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Mt Hope Farm
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Mt Hope Farm — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
