Hello all! My fiance and I just decided on a timeframe to get married, which is august of 2012. I understand that it's a bit short notice for some areas in the wedding world, so I'm doing my best to get through some of the planning.
I am having trouble finding a wedding ceremony venue. The tentative place we have is the holiday inn boxborough. While they offer their facilities for a ceremony and reception, I really wanted to find an outdoor location for the ceremony, and then go to the hotel for the reception. Any outdoor places I seem to find offer rates based on a block of time meant for a reception plus a ceremony.
Does anyone know of an outdoor place that is available for just a ceremony that's not too far from boxborough? I was thinking within 30 minutes driving time. I also have about 120 guests coming (I wanted to try the Butterfly Place, but their capacity is 100). Ideally I'd love a really nice garden-type setting, but even just a nice outdoor woods/park area would be fine too.
Any advice would be appreciated!
