Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Originally opened in 1912 as the Strand Theater, this gracious venue—one of the nation’s first all-cement structures— has since been thoughtfully renovated into a fabulous event space. Its distinctive blend of historic charm and modern amenities creates an experience for your guests that is rich in both character and convenience.
- With soaring ceilings, exposed brick and ductwork, and vintage architectural details, the space exudes a dramatic, industrial-chic vibe. Its flexibility across design styles allows for plenty of personalization, and the events team can't wait to bring your vision to life. Couples with unique love stories, diverse backgrounds, LGBTQIA+ couples—simply put, everyone!—is seen and welcomed with open arms.
- Located just a short drive from Boston, it's perfectly placed with multiple churches and temples nearby for traditional ceremonies and more than 30 hotels to accommodate all your out-of-town guests. A beautiful city park is just a few blocks away, providing a lovely setting for photos or al fresco ceremonies.
