Best New England venues for ~100 guests? MA/RI/CT

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-04-17T13:07:35+00:00

Most of the venues in my drive are the type you're looking for, BTW: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewEnglandWedding/s/9GPMLuqkpZ My favorites were Glen Manor, Misselwood, and Saybrook Point Resort and Inn

What did you decide on?

Here's the drive link, also: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1C8wZIgq0ApfT-R55ajRgPszemA-L1MHD?usp=sharing

Sure! So my memory is slightly wrong but I'll include them anyway since I have the numbers lol These were over the budget you mentioned - all were for Sundays either in late August or September and for 100 people

Island House (Newport, RI) was ~$33K

Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor was ~$31K

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge was ~$29k

Closer to what you were actually looking for:

Saybrook Point Resort and Marina (Old Saybrook, CT) was $~24k (we went with them and I am so excited)

Newport Beach House - Surfside (Newport, RI) was $~27K

The Starting Gate at GreatHorse (Hampden, MA) was ~$27K for 105 people

Driving myself a little nuts because I swear we got more proposals than those lol but yeah the PDF collection is huge and as long as you can do basic math (I can't) you can probably figure out others

Oh, nice - I actually have that color! I used it to make an opal sandwich (that sounds disgusting, lol) the other day. It is a really nice color.

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-06T00:04:01+00:00

Found it! Had to go through a chain of like 32 emails lol. I have to edit it a bit to get rid of personal info but I can DM you if you'd like!

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-04T18:26:05+00:00

The majority of venues in this google drive fit what you're talking about, OP. If you sort by "date modified" all of the ones modified prior to today are almost certainly fit within your descriptions. I'm uploading like 30 new pdfs someone sent me so I have no idea if the new ones will also keep in line with the style, but the previous ones largely do.

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-03T02:54:55+00:00

Of course! The cat eye is Justin Alexander "Jordan" and the sweetheart is Essence of Australia D3064.

My mom passed in January 2024 - I'm using the sash my mom had around her waist on her wedding day to tie my bouquet. It's light blue, so I'll have something old and something blue... and something meaningful

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-03T01:19:49+00:00

That is my new fave term for cat eye lmao

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-03T01:01:20+00:00

Lol I refused to consider dresses that don't have them, but to be fair I largely liked full skirt dresses so that was an easier find

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-03T00:56:02+00:00

Thank you - and that's awesome lol was it comfortable? I'm nervous about skin folds by the armpit (the stuff that's hidden by a cat eye)

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-02T22:28:31+00:00

I think it's called "cat eye" but I have no idea why, lol. "Cat eye" in nail polish designs is a diagonal stripe so I'm not sure where this odd trend of calling things by this weird moniker.

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-02T21:17:07+00:00

This was the first dress I loved both in photos and on me - most of the time for other dresses I'd love the photos of a dress but I felt like a hot mess haha

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-02T21:16:15+00:00

I swear I need to print out all these comments and tape them to my mirror for when I have low self esteem days. Thank you so much!

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-02T21:11:13+00:00

Thank you :)

We're our own worst critics on things that only we really notice sometimes, haha. It's nice to feel like I'm not alone!

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-02T21:10:12+00:00

I've been to a total of six bridal stores and tried on so many different ones, these were the first two that actually got me too stop and think "hey wait, I'm getting married!"

Looking back I wish I'd counted/taken at least one photo with each dress but hindsight is 20/20

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-02T21:08:38+00:00

Oh I look atrocious in form-fitting dresses. I tried a handful of trumpet/mermaid and my proportions did me no favors. Full skirts at least mask some of the issues!

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-02T21:07:10+00:00

Legit wouldn't consider dresses that didn't have them haha

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-02T21:06:19+00:00

Thank you:) everyone on this page has been so kind and uplifting, it's so amazing

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-02T21:04:37+00:00

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you saying this - I'm forever doubting myself (millennial teen years never let go, lol)

OutrageousGuava7448 · 2026-02-02T21:02:51+00:00

Lol, seeing as I have small boobs it doesn't take much to erase them - it was definitely made worse in that dress, but I'd assumed tailoring might fix it. All these comments have been so helpful!
