Hello Ladies,
I'm looking for some help in finding affordable/inexpensive wedding venues in MA or even southern NH. Estimated guest list stands at 120 right now. We would prefer to hold the ceremony and reception at the same site. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

We're getting married at Codman Estates in Lincoln, MA and will have the reception there as well. Off-peak (Nov - April) it's only $900 on the weekends. It is a really beautiful site (clicky). As others have mentioned the price drops on Fridays and weekdays so that is something to keep in mind as well.
Good luck!
[QUOTE]There are some really nice venues in Southern NH. We liked the Pelham Inn, but wanted something on the ocean. The Castleton is also really nice. BTW....we share a name, same spelling too!!!

</div><div>I second Castleton as a good affordable venue. The outdoor area is pretty and they had really really low cost packages (at least compared to other place). It's just over the boarder to. My H's cousin is actually getting married there next summer. It's right on a beautiful lake.</div>

[QUOTE]We're doing the Millennium Hotel. Their package includes a lot (hors d'oeurves, dinner, linens, chivari chairs, 1 hr open bar, free night at hotel). Depending on when you are getting married, the food and beverage minimum might be higher - we chose winter because a lot of vendors will discount then. And as other ladies have mentioned, Friday and Sunday are cheaper. I think the Henderson House in Weston was reasonable, too, but it wasn't our style as we wanted something more modern.They were incredibly nice, though! As you get outside Boston, prices drop - I spoke to the VIlla + Black Rock Country Club on the phone and both were incredibly nice - I never went to see them in person because we decided on Boston proper but they looked good online and were pretty reasonable. And best advice...cut the guest list! We are having only about 75 people. Good luck!

Hello! we also booked the Millennium for August 20, 2011 (I wouldn't describe it as inexpensive, though! But for what you get and its location, it's the best value) . I would recommend to look for your own vendors beyond the ones suggested -their suggestions were priced very high. When are you getting married?

<div>We are getting married in February. I agree - I am not using any of their vendors except maybe for linens (well, and the cake since it's included). I am happy to share info with you if you are still figuring stuff out!, Feel free to PM me. I can also give you the low down after :) True, it's not 'inexpensive' but for downtown Boston, it's definitely lower than some other places. I also benefited from a short term booking (I was only got engaged in Oct) and doing it in the winter. </div>
Good luck, and the website is http://www.kofcsalem.org/ if you are interested!
Plus, if you say what you are looking to pay per head, we might be able to help you better.
