Things To Do
Downtown Peabody District
Explore the charm of Main Street in Peabody! We recommend that you start at the Granite Coast Brewing Company, conveniently located next to our wedding venue. You can also make a pit stop at the Tavern at The Bell Inn, the same venue where we'll be hosting our Welcome Party and After Party. Both spots have delicious food and refreshing drinks for you to try. While wandering along Main Street, you'll find Peabody Coffee Roaster and even more dining options, like Brothers Deli & Restaurant and The Spot.
Downtown Salem District
There's so much to do and see in Salem! We recommend taking a walk around Pickering Wharf to enjoy the waterfront and see some of Salem's history, both witchy and nautical! Check out the Salem Witch Trials Memorial, or the Friendship of Salem, a replica boat docked at Derby Wharf. Nearby on Derby Street, you'll find Couch Dog, the dog friendly brewery with plenty of board games, or Mercy Tavern, a great spot for a comforting bite to eat and the occasional live music. Around the corner is A&J King, where you can get some of the best breakfast sandwiches around. You can always wander along Essex Street to check out the cobblestone road lined with curio shops, just be warned that it can get crowded! You can't go wrong as most of the food and drink spots in Salem are incredible!
Peabody Essex Museum
The Peabody Essex Museum is renowned for its diverse collection spanning art, culture, and maritime history. It stands as one of the oldest continually operating museums in the United States. This is a must-see!
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
The Gardner is a cultural gem filled with art, history, and architectural beauty. It is home to the infamous unsolved art heist of 1990, where priceless paintings were stolen, leaving empty frames to this day. It's also Lia's favorite museum in Boston!
Freedom Trail
The Freedom Trail winds through the heart of Boston, guiding visitors on a historic journey through landmarks of the American Revolution. Stretching 2.5 miles, the brick trail links 16 historically significant sites, including the Massachusetts State House, Paul Revere's House, and the Old North Church.
View Boston
View Boston is a 360 observation deck in the Prudential Center offering breathtaking views from high above the heart of Boston. We recommend stopping by Eataly for some delicious food after!
Boston Common
Go for a stroll in the Boston Common and Public Garden! There are beautiful gardens, classic swan boat rides, and lots of history to see. You can stop for a drink at nearby cocktail bar, JM Curley's, where we had our first date!
