Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Discover Boston's best kept secret, nestled in the heart of Back Bay. This gorgeous 1864 Beaux Arts townhome was purchased by the nation's first women's college club in 1905, and subsequently became the first women's college clubhouse in history. Perfectly sized for elopements and small gatherings of up to 80 guests, it's a space that feels both academic and inspiring, sophisticated and warmly welcoming.
- The stately interior has been meticulously reimagined, with the Percy-Dauber Drawing Room a perennial favorite for events. Despite its intimate scale, the space feels truly grand, boasting 18-foot ceilings, hand-painted wall frescoes that showcase a lush garden scene, a pristine Steinway grand piano, and architectural pilasters throughout, all illuminated by a skylight and opulent crystal chandeliers.
- You can stay all weekend with lodging in the club's on-site bed & breakfast, which offers twelve charming guest rooms—each loosely inspired by colleges attended by members (from Vassar to Emerson to Oberlin to BU). Food and beverage menus are designed and crafted in-house, keeping planning simple, and the cuisine has received rave reviews from previous couples.
