The Herb Lyceum At Gilson's - Groton

Do NOT book a band or DJ on a rainy day/night here. They stick you outdoors in a relatively small area with a paving stone floor under a tent. The staff didn 't have the presence of mind to put up the tent wall to keep the rain out. They left that chore to the band. Since it 's on a hill, water ran through the performance tent like a small river all day night. The band had to go in search of wooden palates (with rusty nails sticking out of them) to keep their equipment off the floor to avoid water damage. Again, not an ounce of help from the staff.

I took my mother to their Mother's Day brunch. Beautiful setting, delicious food, and friendly, helpful staff. Look forward to going to more events at the Herb Lyceum!Food: 5/5

Phenomenal! We loved the farm dinner. So much so that we almost had our wedding here! Chef Ryan was super accommodating in substituting one of the main entrees and the chicken he cooked was amazing!Everything was delicious and fresh. Loved meeting and speaking with new folks around the table. Will definitely be back during the summer.

Fabulous. The food was so delicious and meeting new people while you ate was super fun. Definitely want to come back again.

I was fortunate and blessed to photograph a wedding at The Herb Lyceum, and found the entire experience to be magnificent. We were blessed with rain during the ceremony that was intended to be in the garden and the venue handled the change effortlessly. The grounds, banquet room, the staff, and the food were all fantastic. It was a wonderful experience capturing a wedding here with the lush greens beautiful decor. A truly wonderful venue. I'd consider myself fortunate to get to shoot here again!
