Wedding Package Menus

NOTE: To receive the set package prices, you must choose a vegetarian dish as one of your three entrées.
If you want all 3 of your entrées to include poultry, seafood or meat, there is an extra charge of $3 per person.
If you have a buffet, the vegetarian dish will be made available only to vegetarians, not to all guests.
We will need to get a count of your vegetarian guests before your wedding.

Descriptions of all the entrées listed here, and many more in addition,
can be found on the

These are the only major items that aren’t included in the ‘Elegance & Ease’ package prices.

Alcohol

We give you a lot of flexibility on alcohol. On the tables, you can choose to have bottles of wine, or champagne for a toast. As for your bar, it can be open, cash, or a combination of the two. You can set limits on the open bar, such as a time limit, a dollar limit, or a limit on the type of alcohol (for instance, open for beer and wine but cash for mixed drinks). Many facilities charge a flat fee per person for their open bars, but we charge you only for what your guests consume, which we’ve always found to be to our brides and grooms’ advantage.

Accommodations

If you hold an evening function with us, the bedrooms are available to you, but you are not obligated to take them. We have six bedrooms in the mansion, all of them double occupancy. (See the Accommodations page for details.)

Taken together, all six rooms cost a total of $900 per night, plus tax. (All room prices are subject to MA state occupancy tax, currently 5.7%.)

If you need additional rooms, there are a number of bed & breakfasts in and around town, and we would be happy to advise you.

The bedrooms are not available for Saturday afternoon weddings.

Dessert

For details on desserts, see the last page of this packet.

NOTE: If you do not order wedding cake from us,
a cake cutting fee of $2.50 per person does apply.
