reception options for a small wedding??

sarahlupa

We're going to have about 60-80 ppl.  How do I go about finding an intimate setting that's elegant and affordable?  We'd prefer and indoor reception.

Thanks!

What area are you looking for?

We're open to anything east of 495 at this point.  We're in the metro-west area around the pike.

I don't know if you'd consider Boston, but we got married at The College Club of Boston with 75 people (they hold a max of 100) and it was the perfect, elegant setting.

Check out eventective.com.  They are a GREAT resource.  Also, if you are thinking of renting out a restaurant, let me know, I have some spreadsheets I can forward with restaurants in the Boston metro area that do events (both in & out of hotels).

I just recommended this site yesterday but the Higgins Armory in Worcester is a fantastic venue. They have some open spaces for dinner and dancing and really cool hallways with awesome armory for the cocktail hour. It's also not very large so its a perfect place for a smaller wedding.

Here's a few:

Upstairs on the Square: I don't know about the cost pp but it's a lovely space.
The Codman Estate
Hotel Marlow near the Charles River
Willowdale Estate is beautiful but may be expensive.

Good luck!

My venue would be perfect for you - Roughwood Estate at Pine Manor College:

Ignore the pics online, they are crappy - we're actually replacing them soon with pictures from my wedding (see tons in my Mrs. bio). It's a huge Georgian style mansion on 60 beautiful acres in Chestnut Hill (easily accessible from the T and all major highways). You can have up to 80 seated with dancing in the Founder's Room (ballroom) - we had 100 inside for a cocktail reception. Ceremonies can be held on the lawn, weather permitting, or in the siting room (Moncrief room). Packages start at $50 per person (doesn't include bar though, that's additional).
