Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Housed in a 150 year-old church, this thriving cultural arts and event center sits just west of Boston, tucked away in charming Maynard and surrounded by its historic downtown district.
- Dazzling stained glass windows, a soaring cove ceiling, and blond plank flooring ensure the space feels light and airy. There’s an elevated stage for ceremonies and music, and the open floor plan allows ample room for dancing.
- A vintage-inspired speakeasy provides a cool, loungey spot for wedding guests to grab a local brew or custom cocktail, and there’s even an additional suite where you can slip away to freshen up or grab a quiet moment with your partner.
