Tented Reception Area

I had a great time attending a wedding at Friendly Crossways. The setting was absolutely beautiful and the old farmhouse was fascinating to walk through. The fresh blueberries were a nice treat too.

I just completed my second stay at the Crossroads Retreat. This is a place that simply won't disappoint. A large sprawling rustic mansion with carefully nurtured open grounds. The staff is super professional, and they aim to please.

If you're having a wedding it's perfect. If you're planning a group trip, it's perfect. Some quiet time with your significant other- perfect.

It helps if you have a car, but the staff will take you between the commuter train stop and the site. As Arnold would say, "I'll be baaak!" Maybe to write one of those books that have been begging to get published.

We had our wedding at Friendly Crossways at the end of May, and it was an overwhelming success! Mary Helan, and Keith, were the ultimate hosts and were as accommodating, flexible, and supportive as could be. They approached the planning of the event like experienced professionals, but also made us feel like family. They clearly had the success of our event foremost in their mind, and they gave their input and guidance wherever it would be helpful. The venue and grounds are beautiful, and Mary Helan and Keith take great pride in overseeing all of the details. The recommended outside purveyors, like tent supplier and liquor store, also brought a welcome level of experience and familiarity working at Friendly Crossways. Mary Helan is also the head chef, and she provided the food for our reception, and it was delicious! Our guests had nothing but compliments about the food and service, and she really treats the event and guests like a gracious host welcoming folks into her home. She oversees her food staff and makes sure everything runs smoothly, while Keith oversees the general facility staff and makes sure everything is in order, looking and running great. Many of our guests stayed at Friendly Crossways, which really made the whole wedding weekend into an especially relaxed, comfortable, affordable, and extended gathering. It was really a pleasure having the wedding at Friendly Crossways, and the rustic charm, and natural beauty made for a truly special event. We highly recommend Friendly Crossways!
