WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"We had an amazing experience getting married at New England Botanic Garden! The service throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day was truly exceptional. Amelia, in particular, was incredible—she thinks of everything and somehow manages every detail seamlessly. Everything on our wedding day ran smoothly, which let us relax and actually enjoy it. 

Our guests loved the greenhouses and all of the beautiful greenery throughout the building, and there was something really special about being surrounded by plants while it poured outside. 

We are grateful to the entire NEBG team for making our wedding day so beautiful and stress-free. We truly could not have asked for a better experience!"
–Elsa & Brian, 2026 

"Honestly, I could go on and on and on about how AMAZING New England Botanic Garden was for my wedding.  We knew right away that this is where we wanted to get married. Our wedding coordinator Amelia Burton was so easy to work with. She helped walk us through the entire process along with an extensive wedding packet which made us as a couple really deep dive into exactly how we wanted the day to look and feel. Amelia was extremely responsive and really took the time answering any and all questions during the planning process and really set expectations on what was possible at NEBG. On the day of, everything was PERFECT. The whole team at NEBG really took care of us and our guests and made the entire night feel magical. Absolutely get married at NEBG, we highly recommend it!" 
–Lily & Ian, 2026 

"All of my guests were raving to me about how our wedding was the best one they've been to. The NEBG team is so extremely organized and made the day as seamless as possible. I didn't utilize any wedding planners and even did my own flowers and they were so accommodating and helpful to meet our budget needs. The reception space is INCREDIBLE and stands out on its own without much need to add our own decor. If you're someone who loves the flower/tropical/greenhouse look you will not find a venue better than this. I am recommending that everyone takes advantage of such a beautiful space and efficient and professional team if you want to have the best day possible." 
–Sarah & Jung, 2026 

"The staff is patient, understanding, flexible, and offers really great recommendations when asked. As a queer couple, they were respectful of our desires to use queer friendly vendors and they made both of us feel so safe and loved. At no point during our special day did we have to worry about everything, the team took care of it all. And when a monster thunderstorm rolled through our reception, the staff took care of closing the windows and everything so our guests could continue the celebration. I cannot recommend Tower Hill enough: beautiful location, friendly staff, and an amazing wedding day." 
–Whitney & Heather, 2026

“My husband and I got married at the New England Botanic Garden (NEBG) at Tower Hill on June 20, 2025, and it was truly the most magical day of our lives. From the moment we booked the venue last fall, we had the pleasure of working with Wedding Specialist Amelia Burton, who played an absolutely essential role in making everything run smoothly from start to finish. She helped us think through and organize countless details we would have overlooked on our own. Her patience, flexibility, and kindness made us feel so supported throughout the process—and when we weren’t sure which direction to take, her decisiveness and expertise helped guide us with confidence… Our hearts are so full after working with everyone from NEBG and Peppers. Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for bringing our vision to life and making our wedding so unforgettable.”
