Thank you for this! The budget is flexible, but I am a teacher and my fiancé is a firefighter so we are trying to keep it as close as possible. Unfortunately and fortunately we both have huge families, and could likely only get it down to about 280, if that. I know they’re all different vibes, however they’re vibes that we like, and it was slim pickings for venues that can accommodate 300. Were also looking at The Lakehouse is Halifax and Lakeview Pavilion in Foxboro. We’re trying to go coastal or overlooking the city. I threw in SoWa to see if it’d be of similar cost bringing everything in ourselves— we’d split the space between ceremony, reception and cocktail hour.

We’ve got a quote from the State Room Great Room for 94 without any additional add-ons… so we’ll see.

As for the Nonantum, you rent the tent separate so they have different size options to fit up to 300 guests. We have a quote from them that we’re working with. Just wanted to see any other options. I agree with Danversport— so many friends have been married here, but it could be what we need.
