Private Estate Recommendations Needed!

in Massachusetts-Boston
My dream is to get married at a private house/estate that has an oceanfront view or at least a waterfront view. The ideal scenario is to do this on the seacoast of NH, Maine or Mass....ideally somewhere near NH though. I want an outdoor wedding - so I'm mainly looking for a property that has a great lawn in which we can pitch a tent. I'm hoping people can give me ideas/recommendations as I'm having a hard time finding private residences that are allowed to having weddings. Thanks in advance for your help!

    I originally wanted to do this on the Cape and found the easiest way to go about it was to go to vrbo.com & homeaway.com and search for large homes and then contact the owners and ask if they allowed weddings. I don't know about the areas you are looking at but, on the Cape I found that 1 out of every 25 places I contacted allowed weddings and most of those that allowed weddings were for guests lists <50 people (which was half the size of our guest list). But, I did find a few beautiful homes this way. I didn't end up going this route for our wedding, but I wish you luck in your search!

    I don't know what your budget is or if it is a requirement that it be a private residence but Misslewood at Endicott College is an old french style house on the college grounds. They have a tent for the reception and you can get married on the grounds of the estate. The back portion of the lawn where you have the recepetion is on the ocean. I wrote a blog review about it when I was looking for my venue. You can check it out here http://anewenglandwedding.blogspot.com/2012/12/ma-wedding-venue-misselwood-at-endicott.html. Good luck!
