We absolutely loved our time at The Villa! Starting with the day we first toured the place to leaving the reception to get to our honeymoon, their services went above and beyond. Absolutely recommend the tent and the garden space right next to it, truly felt like a Pinterest dream. All this would have not been possible without Ellen, our wedding day coordinator. Not only did she keep things in check and on time throughout the big day, but she was super accommodating to our requests, knew how to work with our bridal party and guests, and showed an enthusiasm that allowed us to be even more excited during the planning process. Worth every penny!!!

The Lakehouse was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, the team at The Lakehouse was friendly, punctual, and responsive in their communication. On the day of, their bridal attendant made me feel like I didn't have to think about a single thing - she took care of every detail seamlessly. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and gorgeous, transporting you to another world. Growing up in Halifax, I never thought I'd feel like I was anywhere but my small hometown, but The Lakehouse managed to make it feel like we were somewhere completely new and special.

We had our wedding at the Marriott Long Wharf October 7 2023 and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Meg Garruto is a true gem and was a dream to work with! We were actually booked at another venue and after some issues we decided we needed to find another venue and actually booked Long Wharf site unseen. Our original venue not working our was the biggest blessing in disguise. The attention to details and the accessibility to answer any questions we had was above and beyond. There was absolutely no stress in wedding planning thanks to Meg and her team. We also were so impressed with the food! From the cocktail hour to late night snacks everything was perfect. Our guests have been raving about the service and the food for the past week! The location of the hotel and the views are worth booking for alone. If you are looking to book a Boston area hotel for your wedding I would seriously consider booking long wharf before it’s too late! We are already looking into visiting for our one year anniversary (and we are not locals!) because we love the hotel so much!

The Multicultural Arts Center was a beautiful venue for our wedding ceremony and reception! We had our ceremony outdoors in the courtyard just outside the building, and the staff helped us to get the permits to use the courtyard, helped to set up microphones for the ceremony, and also helped work with us on a backup plan to have the ceremony indoors in case it had rained on our wedding day. The courtyard is a charming spot with trellises and greenery and is surrounded by classic-looking New England buildings. Adria and Taylor on the staff were extremely helpful in helping us plan our reception: they answered our many questions and let us rehearse in the venue so that we could figure out how we wanted to lay out the space. The theater hall was an amazing place to have our reception: we especially loved the balcony and the design of the ceiling, and there was plenty of room for a little over 100 guests, buffet tables, a DJ, and a dance floor. The venue was also a really convenient location for our guests - it's close to the T and has several nearby hotels. Would highly recommend!

First of all, this is a family-owned business, but not all family owned businesses are alike. I worked with and coordinated with Amy from the Tirrell room and not a single stone unturned, she was responsive whenever I needed her, as a photographer I always knew the schedule and what was happening when they didn't do any activities without me (which happens more than you think!) They are a well-oiled machine, wonderful to work with, can't wait to go back! Attaching my photo from the most gorgeous sunset in their field, stunning!

We had a wonderful wedding at the Nahant Country Club. Yasmene and Heather were great to work with and our wedding ran incredibly smoothly. The venue itself is beautiful and unique, our guests had a great time. The prices are incredibly reasonable and we additionally received an off season discount. Their wedding packages include so much beyond the standard wedding packages including the use of the bridal suite, appetizers/champagne in the bridal suite on the wedding day, use of their (beautiful) centerpieces, a separate happy hour for the wedding party during photographs and much more. Yasmene went above and beyond on our wedding day- she even sewed my nephew's superhero mask when it broke. Many of our guests commented on how she was the best wedding coordinator they had ever seen. Overall, we are incredibly happy with our selection of the Nahant Country Club. It is a beautiful venue run by incredibly efficient and kind women!
