“We are an entertainment service company that specializes in small ensemble/DJ combos. We performed at our first wedding at The Herb Lyceum in early October and were blown away. First of all, the garden and grounds are LOVELY, the food is OUTSTANDING and the staff were all WONDERFUL. Everyone there was friendly and professional, and truly allowed us to do what we do best, and we felt fully supported to do our jobs. Often with outdoor venues, we have issues with power, but not here! We had ample power for the ceremony, dinner reception and the dance party under the tent, running some heavy wattage sound and lights. We very much look forward to coming back to do more events in the future!“

“Id give a higher score for the atmosphere. A 1700 tavern with working fireplaces. Pricey but not outrageous for what you get. But the food and drink is fresh, local sourced and well prepared. All food ingredients sourced from local farms. The turkey dinner is impressive. I love the weekly specials and season appropriate soups and drinks
My fav time to visit, fall winter when they get the fires going. Lots of local music talent play there.
The chef obviously loves his job. Waitstaff long timers.“
