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 Entrée Descriptions page.

Prices for the wedding packages start at $60 per person,
plus fee and tax. For details, please contact us by phone

All buffets are fully serviced, and a maitre d’ will call tables one at a time to be served.

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 actually consume, which we’ve always found to be to our brides and grooms’ advantage.

Accommodations

If you hold your 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. All together, they cost $900 per night, plus 5.7% MA state occupancy tax. (See the Accommodations page for details.)

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