Within the Main House you'll find several distinguished locations for indoor celebrations. The Main and Dover Parlors—with their mahogany-paneled walls and working fireplaces—are ideal settings for smaller ceremonies or receptions. French doors in each parlor open onto elevated stone terraces with sunset views, making them popular locations for cocktail receptions.

The Estate Room, which seats up to 150 guests, enjoys an abundance of natural light as well as unobstructed views of the lush woodlands beyond thanks to a floor-to-ceiling window.Ìý

What a beautiful wedding venue! I searched high and low before finding this gem. It is close to Boston but provides a secluded garden feel for outdoor ceremonies, and the mansion was beautiful and elegant for cocktail hour!
