Hi all! My mom and MIL are looking into locations for my baby shower in October. Has anyone had a great experience with an event venue in the Greater Boston area? Somewhere near Boston proper or north of Boston would probably be best since I'm downtown and most of my local family is in metrowest or north of Boston. I'd love something that is charming, rather than just a function space. Maybe something with a nice view, at a pretty inn, etc. Probably about 35-50 guests, not too huge. Not too expensive and we would prefer a place that serves brunch or allows outside catering.
My sister ended up doing the shower at a place in Malden that apparently was very easy to work with. It doesn't really fit the bill for the type of place you're looking for though in terms of ambience. I wish I had more suggestions.
Oh, I just thought of a cute inn I know about in Lexington. Not sure if they have a room or a corner of their restaurant you could rent but a former colleague of mine owns the Inn at Hastings Park in Lexington. It's a historic building that she renovated and turned into this luxury inn and restaurant: www.innathastingspark.com/
Thanks!! I thought the question seemed familiar - I should have looked back more! What a lovely inn
My MIL had my baby shower at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem. I know its further out than you specified but it is such a great spot and in October, would be a lot of fun. I also have no idea on price but the brunch buffet was delicious.
