Top 5 Wedding Venues around Boston
Planning your wedding? Consider these 5 weddings to get married at around Boston.
Misselwood Events at Endicott College
This is my favorite venue on the list and was the venue I filmed my very first wedding at in 2022. This is a perfect waterfront venue, featuring a large lawn ideal for your ceremony and a tented outdoor reception space. This space has a little bit of everything - trees, a hidden staircase to feel at home in the forest, and rocks near the water for the adventurous duo.
Owned by Endicott College, this is the perfect venue for first looks: partner 1 can stand outside on the lawn, facing towards the water, and partner 2 can peek at them through the French windows just before they see each other.

2. The Connor Center at Boston College
The Connor Center is an 80-acre estate nestled in Dover, Massachusetts, owned and operated by Boston College. With onsite accommodations, a large lawn for ceremonies, and a majestic staircase that will make you feel like you are in a Disney movie, I recommend touring this estate. With multiple rooms to host a cocktail hour or have a first look, you can’t go wrong with the mahogany interior look and feel.
Receptions can be either in a tent or inside in their reception room. Fewer than 20 miles from Boston, the Connors Center offers a peaceful oasis in a surprisingly convenient location.
Jack & Lakshya’s wedding was held at the Connor Center in May of 2025. View their film below.

3. Castle Hill on the Crane Estate
Overlooking 165 acres of the estate, Castle Hill is a venue made for dreams. The grandeur of a seaside estate, its English country manor, marvelously landscaped grounds, Grand Allée, gardens, and more are to die for. The drone footage from the sky never ceases to take my breath away.
Their ceremony lawn is absolutely gorgeous, with fountains, archways, and a long staircase. Experience European grandeur, just a short drive away from Beantown. The first time I filmed here, my breath was taken away, especially filming on the rolling hills between Crane Beach and Castle Hill. Be sure to ask for Castle Hill, as there are other venues on the estate property.

4. Tupper Manor
Tupper Manor is another beautiful venue owned by Endicott College. A premier waterfront property, located 20 miles north of Boston on the historic North Shore, Tupper Manor offers an incomparable setting on the lovely coast in Beverly, MA. The mansion sits next to the Wylie Center, a hotel with accommodations for guests and wedding participants alike.
Ceremonies are held in front of the fabled fountain and with the historic mansion and the Atlantic Ocean as your backdrop. There is not an inch of this property that isn’t beautiful to film. First looks can be held in the rear of the property, away from guests and street traffic.

5. The River Club
Nestled in the South Shore of Boston, between coastal Scituate and Cohasset, The River Club is a venue to consider if you call the South Shore home. With Cinderella stairs leading up to the ceremony space, a deck for cocktail hour, and a specified smoking area, this venue is great for a couple who wants to celebrate close to home.
