Peirce Farm at Witch Hill Reviews

Pierce Farm was such a DREAM venue! It was stunning weather but even if it was pouring out, the venue is just absolutely gorgeous and breath taking! All of my guests loved it and continues to talk about how beautiful it was there! Thank you for the best day ever!

We had our wedding here September 2022. We booked 2 years out after seeing a few venues and knew this was the perfect place for us to get married! Planning a wedding during a pandemic isn't easy, but Peirce Farm made the process so seamless and easy. Our vendors have said many times that they enjoyed the experience so much (many of them had never worked here before). And our guests couldn't get over how beautiful the venue was and the beautiful views. Bill and Candice were extremely helpful, answering any questions I had along the way. They allowed us to come a few weeks before the wedding to decide on our ceremony space and how we were going to set up our decor. Even offering an array of arbors for us to choose from so we didn't have to bring our own and deal with transportation. We had 123 guests total and still had plenty of room for a dance floor, the set up inside the carriage house was perfect! I've been recommending Peirce Farm to everyone I know and hope we get to attend weddings here in the future.

Beautiful venue, great team

We held our wedding at Peirce Farm in August 2022. The venue is gorgeous, and being able to be on site from 8am - 11pm was such an amazing benefit. Bill and the team at Peirce Farm were great every step of the way, from visiting to working on the contract to planning to running the day. I am sure a lot was going on in the background that I was unaware of to make everything run smoothly for the wedding! The manor house is such a lovely space to have to get ready in, with a kitchen and plenty of space for prep work and relaxing. We held our ceremony outside in front of one of the big trees behind the manor house, which was beautiful. Our cocktail hour was held in the manor courtyard, which is such a pretty space, and then we got to move everyone into the barn for the reception. We had a wedding of 65 and the space utilization made it seem like the perfect size, even though it can hold larger weddings.
The history of the venue was such fun, and everyone thought it was beautiful. Bill and the team helped clear up and coordinate, and the day went without a single hitch.
Thank you so much!

Simply the best

We fell in love with Perice Farm when we first saw it! The different areas where guests could go (gardens, house, barn) made it fun and you could experience a different vibe at each. The team there was amazing and knew exactly what to do throughout the whole planning process. A lot of my guests kept commenting that the venue was beautiful and amazing. Highly recommend!

best venue ever.

We chose Peirce Farm for our July 2022 wedding and it was the best decision ever. We had visited a few other places prior to Peirce, and as soon as we visited the beautiful estate we knew this was the one! It has so much charm and natural beauty, and the fact that you get access to the grounds all day is SO convenient. I chose all my vendors from their recommendation guide too and that was also a great decision as our wedding day was seamless and stress-free and beautiful. Bill, Candice, and Leslie were always available for questions and checked in consistently throughout our year of planning. Whole experience 10/10, highly recommend :)

• Quality of service

Venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. The staff was very accommodating, Bill was sweet and friendly. I got married here on 8/19/21, and for me it was my dream wedding. We came a yje way from NH to get married and have our wedding here, and we are certain we made the right choice. Beautiful beautiful venue. I wish I can do it all over again, just so I can be on this gorgeous place. Thank you Peirce Farm for all that you do to make so many couples happy.

This venue is absolutely stunning. We got married here in July 2022 and it was absolutely perfect. There is so much natural beauty on the property and the house and barn are just beautiful. We loved that the rental of the property was from 8am-midnight so we were able to get ready there and have a relaxing morning. All of the staff from the venue were friendly and lovely to work with and their list of preferred vendors was amazing- we found all of our vendors from this list and every vendor was perfect! We highly recommend this beautiful property as a wedding venue.

The perfect venue and experience!

Peirce Farm at Witch Hill is truly the perfect venue. My now-husband and I were supposed to get married originally in Italy in June of 2020 -- and we were apprehensive about resuming our planning at first. But when we stumbled upon Peirce Farm, we just couldn't get over how reasonably priced and stunning the venue was. We knew we had to jump on booking it. Needless to say, I'm so happy we made that decision. Candice and Bill were so incredibly friendly and responsive throughout the entire planning process -- and on the day of the wedding, we couldn't believe how hands-on and helpful they and their staff members were! They made the entire experience feel so seamless and stress-free. The venue itself is pure magic. I actually didn't even see it in person until the day of the wedding since I live in California (which had me slightly nervous, I'm not going to lie). But I could take a long, deep exhale when I arrived on-site the morning of. Photos really don't do it justice. The entire estate is so stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos. The whole day was an absolute dream and I can't recommend their venue enough!

• Quality of service

We had been recommended this venue by someone who got married the year before and we are so happy we went with them! Love the fact that you can bring in your own vendors, as a few places we had looked at only had a limited selection you could choose from. Candice and Bill are such gracious hosts and helped us (especially during the ups and downs of Covid) with any questions we had. Getting ready the day of was so fun, it’s absolutely gorgeous here, and we’d do it all over again if we could!

A magical experience from start to finish

Peirce Farm at Witch Hill is quintessentially the perfect venue. This property is stunning, a completely magical experience. The estate on the property is old Victorian and so homey. The spaces for the bride and groom to get ready in are gorgeous and make for great photos, the sitting area is great for family and friends to hang out while the bride and groom get ready, and the barn where we opted to have both our ceremony and reception, is stunning. The staff we met when first viewing the venue were so friendly and helpful, they let us tour the property multiple times, gave us access to the space pre-wedding day to drop off diy items and our chuppah, and were there the whole day to assist with the event. The event space is given to you for the whole day which is amazing, we arrived at 9am to get ready and were on site until 10:30pm gathering up items. They supplied tables and chairs (beautiful chivari chairs) for no extra cost and the venue itself (especially since we had a winter wedding on a Sunday) was so so SO affordable. We had a small-ish wedding (85 people) and the space was perfect. We got amazing photos since the whole property is beautiful and we had multiple friends say they wanted to renew their vows just to have an event in this space. Its romantic, magical, affordable. what more could you ask for!

Flexible. Affordable. Stunning.

Peirce Farm was everything we dreamed of! We loved the flexibility that came with it and the fact that there wasn't a bossy wedding coordinator who dictated our day. For 3,200 we had the house, barn and property from 8am-Midnight. There really isn't any other deal like this if you are wanting a venue for more than five hours. If you are planning on Peirce Farm, I strongly recommend using Vinwood Catering. Because Peirce Farm doesn't supply linens, flatware, glassware or a bar, it is best to chose a catering company that includes all of these, or else you will spend so much time trying to find places where you can rent these. Vinwood is the most familiar with Peirce Farm, and the two together made our wedding go so smoothly. One of our favorite things about the venue is that it's beauty doesn't depend on the weather, so we didn't have to stress about our wedding being ruined by rain or cold weather. It made the planning process so much more relaxing. Our wedding was an absolute dream!

This venue is perfection- sophisticated and laid back at the same time. We worked with Bill and Candice who were both absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. We know we wanted a barn wedding but were shocked to see how expensive some other venues were. Then we stumbled onto Peirce Farm and were shocked at the low cost and availability. This venue really is a hidden gem and we were so fortunate to find it when we did. Looking back, I cannot imagine a better place to get married. The weather on our wedding day was practically apocalyptic- it poured down rain the entire day and the wind was gushing over 30 mph. Despite this, Bill and his team were amazing and somehow managed to get the entire wedding party from the manor house to the barn without getting completely drenched. They helped me laugh off the weather and acted like they did this sort of thing every day (probably because they do). Bill was so calm that it kept me calm and that alone is priceless. They also allowed our two dogs to be part of the wedding and treated them like members of the wedding party (which they were). If you’re lucky enough to get married at Peirce Farm you will NOT regret it!!

We had our wedding at Peirce Farm on 11.22.19 and it was everything I could ever hoped it would be. M photographer took me into the venue before the guests arrived and I just cried. It was breathtaking and my vision was brought to life. The staff at Peirce Farm were so helpful and attentive, I just can’t say enough. I know I’m partial because it’s my wedding, but it is by far the most classy elegant venue I have ever seen! Fill that with our own personal touches and my god. it was amazing. Thank you Peirce Farm for the amazing memories

• Quality of service

We booked Peirce Farm immediately after getting engaged. As soon as we walked on the property we knew it was exactly what we wanted. With everything all in one place, getting ready in the farm house, ceremony on the lawn, and reception in the barn, it made the day go so smoothly. Our fall wedding had the perfect backdrop, our pictures look like artwork! Everyone working at Peirce Farm is great and was so helpful through the whole process. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a gorgeous rustic wedding on the north shore.

The best day at the perfect location!

We are so lucky that we were able to book Peirce Farm for our wedding! Candice was such a huge help with everything leading up to the wedding, the day of the wedding and even after the wedding. The ceremony and reception were held in the barn, with our cocktail hour on the side lawn by the house and all of if was just PERFECT! I could not imagine our wedding at a different location and we are just so happy. Thank you to Candice and the whole Peirce Farm team, you helped make our day even more special.

This venue was amazing

This venue was beautiful and everything I wanted for my wedding. Working with Bill and Candice was great. They made sure everything ran smoothly. They were great communicators and you can tell they enjoy what they do. I live out of town and this venue requires you to get your own vendors, but they are on top of making sure you have everything you need! I think I emailed Candice a million times and every time she was so helpful and kind. As busy as they are, they responded very quickly as well. I loved working with them and am so grateful they were excellent! Thank you Peirce Farm staff :)

• Quality of service

Had our wedding at peirce farm and it was a dream. Everyone I have met that works there are the nicest people, the venue just becomes prettier and prettier every time I visit, and the process was effortless.

Candice I spoke to a lot as the wedding came up and she never got annoyed with me. Super helpful with each email and call I had with her and knew exactly who I was even though they had 4 weddings and a sweet 16 the weekend of our wedding (Labor Day weekend).

Everything was perfect. Thank you so much Peirce Farm!

We recently had our wedding at Peirce Farm, and it was an amazing experience all around! The owners and venue coordinator were friendly and easy to work with and the venue itself is gorgeous.

• Quality of service

After trucking around to multiple "barn" venues we stumbled by accident upon Peirce Farm and I still can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. It has everything you could want in a venue and more! Let's start with exclusive use of the property from 8am-midnight, a beautiful Victorian house with 3 bathrooms to get ready in, outdoor terrace for cocktail hour and airconditioned refurbished barn - and you don't have to take out a 2nd mortgage to afford it. The best part was it did not have all the rules and vendor tie in's the other venues had allowing us to truly create the wedding day we wanted - taking away so much stress. And while they didn't have vendor tie in's they provided a comprehensive wedding planning guide with vendors they would recommend and not recommend. As stressful as it is planning a wedding working with Candice and Bill at Peirce Farm was not. They go above and beyond to take care of every last detail at no extra charge. Day of the wedding they are quietly in the background making sure it goes off without a hitch. The weather didn't cooperate the day of the wedding and Candice stepped in, orchestrated a new plan A and it was perfect! They are truly professionals and a pleasure to work with!

Peirce Farm and the staff are both Amazing!

Peirce Farm was the first of four venues we visited, and we booked it almost immediately, a little under 1.5 years out from our date. Sean, Candice, Bill, and their whole team will make your day a breeze, and the venue is absolutely magical. It’s so flexible for a number of different aesthetics and settings, and it was perfect that we could have all of our day’s events there AND bring in our own vendors. They were incredibly consistent and quick with email replies throughout the months (or year!) leading up to our wedding, and were beyond helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend the best day of our lives.

• Quality of service

The two beat things about this venue are freedom and beauty. It is absolutely gorgeous there. The landscape, the house, the barn, the views. It’s just great.

They also give you the freedom to choose any combination of vendors you wish. Unlike a lot of other places, where you have very few options for catering, bar service, etc., here, you can do things exactly as YOU want.

Lastly, communication was terrific. They were always easy to get a hold of, and provide as much or as little guidance as you need.

Coulda been a rainy wedding!

I worked with Candice the day of my wedding, things leading up to the big day were outstanding! It was a wet day when we got married but Candice knew my dream was to be married outside, so we picked the terrace instead of the back yard as it was dryer and she watched the weather on an app and we made the final call two hours before the ceremony and it rained before and after (light sprinkles) but the ceremony itself was dry! Whole experience was a dream come true! Thank you Candice for your help and reassurance that day!

It was magical at Peirce Farm

I am very excited to write this review because it is so well deserved!
We got married on Winter Solstice under the full moon and I can not imagine my wedding anywhere else in the world.
Peirce Farm is simply one of the most magical venues on the North Shore. The house and barn are so beautiful; each in their own way.

The house was an elegant backdrop for pictures and to get ready for the ceremony. It was decorated beautifully and the oversized hand carved stairway was gorgeous. We were allowed to use the house from 8AM-11PM the day of our wedding. There were ample rooms to have hair and make up done and to simply relax before the ceremony.

The barn where we got married and had our reception will forever be one of my favorite places. The energy and atmosphere was so warm and welcoming. As we were decorating it; we just wanted to be there as long as possible.

It was a stormy wedding night and the barn was lit with twinkling lights, candles and a fire in the floor to ceiling fireplace. It made the reception of 130 feel like we were in an intimate setting without feeling crowded.

But by far one of the best things about Peirce Farm is Bill and Candice. They are the terrific hosts and helped us with every detail for the reception set up. I even changed the floor plan last minute and Bill accommodated me with a calm and kind manner. Candice made sure the reception went off like clockwork and ran back and forth with oversized umbrellas for the guests and our wedding party. They put in so much effort and made our night seamless. I can not thank them enough.

My only regret is that I do not have another event this year to rent this spectacular venue.

Venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. The staff was very accommodating, Bill was sweet and friendly. I got married here on 8/19/21, and for me it was my dream wedding. We came a yje way from NH to get married and have our wedding here, and we are certain we made the right choice. Beautiful beautiful venue. I wish I can do it all over again, just so I can be on this gorgeous place. Thank you Peirce Farm for all that you do to make so many couples happy.

The cost of each package will depend on the specific inclusions and options you choose. In addition to the wedding package, there may be additional costs to consider.

To get an accurate cost estimate for your wedding, it is recommended to reach out to the venue directly. They can provide you with detailed information on the various packages and additional services available, as well as any current promotions or discounts. Overall, having your wedding at the Peirce Farm at Witch Hill can be a magical and memorable experience. While there are costs involved, many couples find that the beauty and charm of the venue make it well worth the investment..

Reviews for "A Quaint New England Wedding at Peirce Farm at Witch Hill: Budget Breakdown"

1. Jessica - 1 star

I attended a wedding at Peirce Farm at Witch Hill and I was extremely disappointed with the overall experience. First of all, the venue was outdated and in need of a serious renovation. The decor was tacky and the furniture looked like it hadn't been updated in decades. Additionally, the staff was unprofessional and disorganized. There were constant delays in the schedule and they seemed to be completely clueless about how to handle large events. The food was also subpar, with many guests complaining about undercooked meals. Overall, I would not recommend Peirce Farm at Witch Hill for any events, especially weddings.

2. John - 2 stars

I recently attended a wedding at Peirce Farm at Witch Hill and I was less than impressed. While the location itself was beautiful, the cost of the wedding was far too expensive for the lackluster experience we received. The staff seemed overwhelmed and unprepared to handle the number of guests. The cocktails during the reception were weak and watered down, and the food was average at best. The venue itself felt cramped and did not offer enough space for guests to comfortably mingle and dance. Overall, I was disappointed with the value for money at Peirce Farm at Witch Hill and would not recommend it for future events.
