To be successful, your wedding does not have to be in the
swankiest, and most expensive, hotel in Boston. Thankfully, there are many
beautiful venues throughout Massachusetts, some free, to hold your wedding. Following,
in no particular order, are a few of my favorite non hotel venues, some well-known,
some not, some geared for large ceremonies, some only for small, some
expensive, some inexpensive or free. Most can be seen on my website on the FAQ page The Fruitlands Museum, Harvard – gorgeous views of the
Nashoba Valley The Codman Estate, Lincoln – beautiful garden for an
outdoor ceremony Gibbet Hill Farm, Groton – wonderful location for inside
or out Crane Estate, Essex – breath taking The Lodge at Fort Pond, Littleton – rustic, on the water,
and inexpensive Mt. Wachusett, Princeton – ride the ski lift to the top
after the ceremony The Old North Bridge, Concord – you can’t get married on
the bridge and you will need a permit Acton Arboretum, Acton – free to use, but need to be
contacted The Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain – also free with many
beautiful spots Nashoba Valley Winery, Bolton – wonderful spot Wayside Inn, Sudbury – The Martha Mary Chapel is truly
special at this historic inn Poppenesset Inn, New Seabury – almost on the beach, yet
covered Wedgewood Pines, Stow – golf course location on the
veranda Harrington Farm, Princeton – simple and beautiful Decordova museum, Lincoln – elegant Stonehurst Estate, Waltham –stately old mansion Any gazebo -- gazebos are magical places Any backyard in Massachusetts – especially ours in
Littleton by the koi pond and waterfall Next time – Outdoor Weddings – the good, the bad, and the
potentially ugly! |
