Saphire Estate was the perfect wedding venue! The venue is gorgeous, the food is unbelievable, the staff is top notch. Everyone we interacted with was so helpful and kind. Our coordinator Anne was the best! She helped guide us through every decision and made sure the day went smoothly. Every little detail was covered and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding. Everyone there is so professional, organized, and prepared. It is obvious that they excel at weddings and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

Erin was amazing and even though you have to book everything separately, Endicott works with the same vendors so frequently and they take care of a lot of the coordination, etc. between vendors. Definitely listen to their recommendations; they know what they’re doing!

Pierce House 

5.0

Lincoln, MA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,550

The Pierce House, an architectural gem, is part of a stunning vintage estate, located on more than 30 tranquil acres of pastoral rolling lawns, woodlands, and ponds, less than 30 minutes west of Boston. Built in 1900, and located within the Historic District in Lincoln, Massachusetts, Pierce House has the distinction of being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Respecting the wishes of John H. Pierce, who bequeathed the mansion and property to the Town of Lincoln, the venue welcomes the local community and beyond as a place for year-round recreation, weddings, corporate and social events, art shows, car shows, summer concerts, movie filming among others.

The Pierce House was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From our first meeting with Jenn, the venue manager, she made us feel like the Pierce House was our home for our wedding day. Jenn was warm, attentive, and responsive throughout the entire planning process, answering any questions we had and making helpful suggestions. On the big day itself, Jenn went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The venue itself is simply stunning - an elegant, antique home that has indescribable charm. The grounds are immaculately kept, the porch is perfect for a first look, and the tent is fantastic. We received so many compliments from our guests on our venue choice. If you're looking for a venue where the manager treats you like family and the venue is beyond gorgeous- the Pierce House is a great choice.

Cambridge Boat Club 

5.0

Cambridge, MA
  • Up to 120 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Cambridge Boat Club is a social and rowing club, located on the banks of the Charles River overlooking Eliot Bridge. Originally built in 1909, CBC was picked up in its entirety and rolled upstream to its current location in 1947, to make room for the building of Memorial Drive. Featuring vaulted ceilings and dark exposed beams akin to a ski chalet, and double french doors opening to a full length veranda, CBC offers a unique, rustic setting for any event.

The Cambridge Boat Club was the perfect choice for our New England fall-themed wedding! It is an absolutely gorgeous location on the river with just the right amount of historic charm. We had originally considered going with all-inclusive venues, but ultimately opted for the flexibility we had with the CBC to craft our own vision. The venue features two distinct rooms, a larger room called the Drinkwater room, which can be used for the wedding dinner, the Club Room, which was used for cocktail hour and the dance floor, and a porch, which has a stunning view. The layout perfectly accommodated both the party enthusiasts and our more introverted guests, who preferred quieter spaces for rest and socialization away from the dance floor. Opting for this venue requires a more DIY approach compared to all-inclusive options. Since it is a historic building, there are some restrictions to be aware of, e.g. no sparklers or ceiling drapery, and existing wall decor generally need to stay on the wall. This was no issue for us since we had a clear vision for the wedding theme and decor, and enlisted the help of Tastings Catering (highly recommend, since they have previous experience working in this space and also handle some of the decor) and Designlight. Major shoutout to Katie Donnelly, the club manager at Cambridge Boat Club, who always responded in record time to all our inquiries and provided helpful guidance. With everyone's help, we were able to create the wedding of our dreams!
