The Harding Allen Estate
*Notice - Are you worried your venue won't be able to host your wedding in 2021 or 2022? We are open for weddings following the new MA Covid guidelines including open air dining!
Our main ballroom has been revamped to have open tented sides with significant open air flow for events, while still maintaining an elegant feel. When there are no issues with Covid restrictions, we return to our normal room! As we are a little further out in the country from Worcester, Boston, and Springfield, we are typically designated in the low-covid zone rating.
We have lots of outdoor spaces for your guests to explore, play yard games, and enjoy our gardens while practicing social distancing! And our dance floor and gardens work provide ample space for guests to dance while distancing! Check here for photos! *
Small Party Menu
These menus are for special occasions, such as bridal showers, baby showers, rehearsal dinners, anniversary parties, birthday parties, holiday celebrations, bar & bat mitzvahs, etc.
For such parties, we normally require a minimum of 25 guests.
Also, there is a table setup fee, which depends on the guest count. Ask us for details.
For pricing details and available dates, please contact us via phone or email!
