Tonight I was blown away! I have been a full time wedding DJ for 18 years. My company, Cape Tunes, hosts about 250 weddings every season. I personally DJ about 85 weddings a season. There’s a new venue in Derry, NH called Hyla Brook Estate that opened in October 2024. Sadly, many venues treat vendors trash. Hyla Brook Estate was the complete opposite of what a vendor expects. I won’t mention how amazingly beautiful the venue is, I’m sure plenty of couples will review this aspect. I have to speak from a vendors point of view. A few days prior to the wedding, I got the “I’m your coordinator email, here are our policies”. I walked into the venue to clarify where to unload and was told “whatever works for you”. You mean I don’t have to trek through a kitchen then park a mile away?!?! There were two coordinators named Ashley who were extremely nice. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Kim. Wow, amazing business person with an awesome vision! Some highlights … * Easy load in * Dedicated WiFi for DJs only! * No vendor chicken!!! * Vendors can eat when they want! * Apps and dessert? YUP! They won’t chop your hand off like other venues! SIT DOWN FOR THIS ONE … There is a vendor lounge! With a stocked fridge and snacks!!! I felt compelled to post this for all vendors lucky enough to work at this new property. A note to couples … happy vendors make your day rock a little more

Maine's only greenhouse event venue exclusively designed for wedding receptions and ceremonies. 2021 marks 72 years of Highland Farm’s history in Scarborough, Maine. From the beginning, the property has been operating as a greenhouse. In fact, in the 1800’s, Highland Farm was the largest supplier of cut flowers in the Northeast. Highland Farm is a family owned and operated business, and the undeniable sense of family and welcome energy is palpable the moment you step on the grounds. The saying is true here: “you come as strangers and leave as family.” The Greenhouse and The Farm has been run by 3rd generation owners, Joe and Christine since 2008, but Joe and Christine’s involvement in the farm runs far deeper than ownership. In 2009, the couple was married in one of the working greenhouses

The venue in and of itself is jaw dropping beautiful, like something dropped out of a fairytale! The ceremony space is so beautiful, and the bridal suites are so amazing for photos and just to enjoy before the ceremony. Then to make it more magical you have the amazing food, attentive and welcoming coordinators who made my vision come to life, and a beautiful set up in the tent. I could not recommend enough this venue!

Matt was so helpful in making sure that we had everything we needed, and he really encouraged us to spend as much time on the property as we wanted. All of our vendors lit up when we told them we were having our wedding there & each spoke about how incredible Matt & Abby are. They truly truly care about you having your dream wedding here, and I cannot recommend them enough!

Stage House Inn is a stately and elegant wedding venue. The property offers 20 unique guest rooms, private function spaces, and Dufour, an on-site award-winning restaurant and bar. The venue offers plenty of historical charm and Maine-style hospitality. The Stage House Inn specializes in hosting private events. These include micro weddings (for up to 70 guests), showers, corporate events, holiday parties, baptism celebrations, funeral receptions, celebrations of life, and other events for 25-150 guests. Since the late 1700s, the structure that now houses Stage House Inn and Dufour has served many purposes. From a private residence, it soon became a stagecoach stop where visitors would stop to eat and lodge at Frost Tavern. Following that, it was Paul’s Hotel, and eventually also served as a boarding house. Then, for nearly 70 years it was a convent run by the Sisters of St. Joseph Order. It was also a christian school.

We held our rehearsal dinner and welcome party for our wedding here. We were speechless...From the quaint, New England charm of the atmosphere, exterior, and location to the exquisite hospitality from Matt and Mariah, the owners and their team. Through all the wedding planning, Matt and Mariah were consistently communicating details, providing help/guidance and finally once we held the event, every touch point was incredible down to a tee. One out of numerous examples was the groom didn't get the chance to eat the pizza they made. He politely asked if there was any leftovers in the back and if he could have a slice or two. Within minutes, they promptly made an entire fresh pizza from scratch, boxed it up and handed it to him. We're very thankful and every guest said it was the most extravagant welcome party they've attended to kickoff our magical weekend! Couldn't recommend more!

Our wedding at The Leavitt Theatre was beyond anything we could have dreamed… it was pure magic. This venue is astonishingly unique, dripping with history, romance, and charm. Every single guest told us they had never experienced a wedding like ours, and honestly, we believe it. From the moment we saw our names on the glowing marquee to the personalized movie posters in the frames, the night felt straight out of Hollywood. Being introduced by a film crafted by my brother-in-law and projected on the big screen was surreal!! Truly a moment we and our guests will never forget. Pair that with the champagne tower, endless popcorn, and the sparkle of bubbly all night long, and the whole evening had this old-Hollywood glamour that made it feel larger than life. And then there was the food- WOW. No other words other than absolutely extraordinary. The chef has an unmatched gift for flavor and presentation, and our guests could not stop raving. It was the perfect way to give everyone (most of whom had traveled far) a true taste of Maine. The espresso martinis? Hands down the best we’ve ever had. People are still talking about them! This venue is also walking distance to a few fun spots so there are options for after parties! But what truly set The Leavitt apart was the heart behind it all. Nell, the coordinator, was an absolute treasure. She video chatted with us countless times, answered every question, and worked tirelessly to make sure everything not only fit within our budget but exceeded our expectations. Her dedication made us feel supported every step of the way. We were also so impressed by the Leavitts owner, Max. His family has owned this wonderful place for generations and we hope we can return for a movie every year for our anniversary! This wasn’t just a wedding venue… it was an experience. It was cinematic, romantic, and unforgettable in every single way. Truly the best night of our lives, and we will be forever grateful to The Leavitt Theatre for making it happen. If you want your wedding to be unlike anything else, stop searching because this is the place.
