The Harding Allen Estate
Our main ballroom has been revamped to have open tented sides with significant open air flow for events, while still maintaining an elegant feel. When there are no issues with Covid restrictions, we return to our normal room! As we are a little further out in the country from Worcester, Boston, and Springfield, we are typically designated in the low-covid zone rating.
We have lots of outdoor spaces for your guests to explore, play yard games, and enjoy our gardens while practicing social distancing! And our dance floor and gardens work provide ample space for guests to dance while distancing! Check here for photos! *

Carmine, Grace & all the staff,
Billy & I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and making our wedding dreams come true. Our wedding was more perfect than we could have imagined. Everything was perfect and ran so smoothly. Now we're hoping someone we know will get married there so we can go & enjoy it!
Billy & Tessie M., bride & groom
My wife and I just got married here yesterday and it was a stellar experience! The staff was amazing, the food was marvelous, and the grounds and decorations were great. We received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you Grace and Carmine for helping us celebrate our day with such a high degree of professionalism and excellence!

Grace, Carmine and their staff are wonderful! This place was breathtaking and my husband and I couldn't have been any happier with this place we are so glad we picked the Harding Allen estate to have our wedding 6/12/16.

My daughter is getting married on October 25th. Carmine and Grace are so warm and accommodating. They really but the extra effort into this special day for the bride and groom, going above and beyond. I have been told by other brides that have had their weddings at the estate, "when the wedding is over Carmine and Grace will feel like family." I don't doubt that for a minute. They provide those special touches. Not your every day cookie cutter wedding. It's all those small intimate details that make it your own. Looking forward to the big day for my daughter and future son-in-law. Thank you for making this easy for us and the estate is absolutely breathtaking!

Hello Carmine & Grace;
Now that things have gotten back to normal, Chris & I just wanted to take a moment to thank you both for the outstanding job you and your staff did on our wedding day!

Our only regret is that the day went by so fast!
Thank you again, the day was so wonderful and special for us both.

To everyone at the harding allen estate thank you so much for everything. We had the best wedding ever. I will recommend you to anyone that I know that is getting married. Love Stephen and Cindy S, groom & bride (Facebook)
What a perfect venue for a wedding! Even under the conditions of something as extreme as February , 2015, the Harding Allen Estate more than exceeded expectations. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the owners personable and accommodating. The estate itself is lovely, inside and out, providing very romantic photo opportunities--my daughter and her husband braved the outdoors, temps around 20, to get some pictures done in the garden, which maintained its charms even under those conditions. And I would be remiss if I failed to say that the food was delicious! There were entrees for vegetarians that were as tasty as the meat dishes. I was impressed, and quite a few of the guests remarked on the quality of the food. I also appreciated the unique way that the ceiling in the main hall was draped with fabric--that made everything much quieter, so you could carry on a conversation.

Thank you so much for helping me make the wedding of my dreams a reality. Everything was exactly how I imagined it and more. You kept everything running so smoothly and helping to keep me calm. The food was delicious, the setting was idyllic. I couldn't have asked for anything else.

I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to Carmine, Grace and the outstanding staff at the Harding Allen Estate. The estate on August 19, 2016 was a vision of beauty, inside and out! Our team of servers included Emily, Liz, Alex and Liam, were professional and met every one of our requests with the most pleasant, charming, helpful and hospitable attitudes! The food was excellent. The Viennese Desert table lived up to it's promise...our guests were very impressed with the array of delicious deserts! Thanks to DJ Bob and the Potting Shed Florists. Our expectations were not only met, but exceeded!!! Thank you all for everything!
-Gabriella G. , mother of the bride (Facebook)
Grace and Carmine are beyond amazing. True professionals with a staff that is incredibly talented. The florist did a picture perfect job, the food was incredible (no one will be hungry for a days), and it was all pulled off seamlessly. Everything was done to perfection. The Estate is a perfect venue - it seriously could not have turned out any better.
-Alison J., bride (Facebook)
My husband and I were married here on June 21, 2014, and it was absolutely perfect! Gorgeous venue, amazing food, unbelievable staff! Grace and carmine are wonderful people and they contributed so much to making our day as perfect as it was. We love them!!! We are still getting told, over a year later, about how beautiful and perfect the Harding Allen was!
-Katey and Dan L., bride & groom (Facebook)
Our wedding day was an absolute dream at the Harding Allen Estate. We were fortunate enough to get their 10/10/10 date. The estate and the grounds were beautiful and the weather fortunately cooperated. The food is unbelievably good - we've come for events other than our wedding (like their mother's day brunch) because the food is so good. And the dessert buffet was amazing. Grace and Carmine took care of every detail so that our entire day and evening went without a hitch. I would highly recommend spending your special day at this special place!
-Christy and Tom, bride and groom (Facebook)

Grace, Carmine, and all of your staff;
Where do I begin?! Thank you SOOO much for everything! I have gotten nothing but compliments from the people I've had a chance to talk to since Sunday. My parents were absolutely thrilled with the way everything turned out, it was so much more than they imagined. They have not stopped talking about it all. Thank you again for the most perfect wedding day!
Sincerest thank you & love,
Lindsay & Adam P., bride & groom
