Our dream venue
Best day of our lives at the best venue
Nicole & Historic New England were fantastic in helping us plan our day, give us access to the greenhouses for photos, and allow us to design the wedding day we wanted. From the ceremony in the dogwood grove, to the cocktail hour and speeches on the lawn and porch, to the dinner and reception in the historic mansion - it was the best day. Nicole was so easy to work with on the day of, and all of the planning before.
During the wedding day, despite some early day rain, she almost 'willed' sunshine into existence as she proclaimed, "none of my outdoor weddings have been rained out".
If you're looking for a special, historic, and semi-formal to formal experience, I would HIGHLY recommend the Lyman Estate.

The Lyman Estate is among the most charming venues in the Boston area and their event coordinators do an incredible job running things smoothly. One of the times I worked there (the bride was a direct descendent of Theodore Lyman) an unexpected squall rolled into town just before the outdoor ceremony was supposed to begin, the venue had things set up in a tent in no time and the whole event didn't miss a step. They have always done a great job taking care of clients and it's a pleasure photographing weddings there.
I recently had the pleasure of being the DJ and MC for a wedding at the Lyman Estate on July 20, 2013. The entire staff at the Lyman was fantastic to work with. The venue itself as a whole offers a variety of options for its customers from being able to have an outdoor ceremony, a cocktail hour on the patio, and dinner either inside our outside. As a DJ, I was very happy to see there was more than ample room inside for dancing and a separate area where guests could take a quick break for coffee and desert. The venue had some recent updates, most notably to the HVAC system which allows for great air conditioning meanwhile maintaining the feel of nostalgia. The building was erected in the 1700's. The venue is conveniently located near Boston and a few major highways and has ample parking. I respectfully and overwhelmingly endorese this venue.
Great venue ! I have performed here many times over the years and always been treated with the greatest hospitality ! Thank You ! Great Venue !
