Venues & Event Spaces near Franklin, MA

“I've had the opportunity to play several rounds of golf at Franklin Country Club with colleagues, as well as participate in several events. The staff always does a great job organizing enjoyable golf events, and treating members' guests with great hospitality. The food is always plentiful and top notch, particularly their lobster rolls and seafood, including the raw bar and amazing clam chowder. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and eager to make sure you have a great day/experience. The pro shop is well stocked, and the course is always in excellent condition. It is a very challenging course, as flat lies are tough to come by, but fairways are open enough that most skill levels will find the course enjoyable.”

“Having our wedding at Lakeview Pavilion was hands down the best decision we could have made. From start to finish, the entire Lakeview team treated us like family and made us feel like they were just as excited about our big day as we were. The support and care we received from the moment we first walked in to book the wedding until the very end of the night was nothing short of exceptional. No matter what questions or concerns I had, they were always quick to address them, guiding me through every step of the planning process and offering help whenever I needed it. It felt like having an extra set of hands to navigate the craziness of wedding planning.

On the wedding day itself, everything was absolutely perfect. When I arrived, I was greeted with warmth, excitement, and even hugs—it really made me feel like the most special person in the world. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for that. The food was incredible; every guest I spoke with raved about their meal, from the passed appetizers to the ice cream bar and, of course, the crowd favorite—the French fry bar!

The entire team made sure everything flowed seamlessly throughout the day and night. We never had to worry about a thing. If you’re considering having your wedding at Lakeview Pavilion, do it! You’ll love every second of it, just as we did. It was truly an unforgettable experience.”

“There are lots of stores, parking along with the Patriot stadium & MGH. I visited Hobby Lobby to feed model building, Petco to feed the cats and Trader Joe's for healthy food.”

“Just had a lovely stay at the Proctor Mansion Inn. The innkeeper, Dari, was friendly, welcoming & made a mean breakfast. My room was terrific: comfortable bed, awesome jetted bathtub & fast WiFi (the homemade cookies were a nice touch!). I loved the location & enjoyed walking around the cute downtown area. I highly recommend!”

“I was looking for a place for my eight-year-old to do summer camp and I reached out to Express and they were very helpful in finding me a fun week summer day camp for my daughter. I also invited her friend to come along and they’re looking forward to a beach party summer camp. I’m excited for them. They start in August 2026. I’m looking forward it And so is my daughter and her friend. I also found summer camp very reasonable as times are getting tough and things are getting expensive. This place seems to have it all in one package.”

“Nice facility. Great for youth sports development.
My friend Dick Scullary is a great coach with a lot of baseball knowledge and experience. Dick is a consultant at Sluggers.”

“I wish I was a kid again or had the space/ patience for all the noise in the arcade. At the same time, glad I don't have kids to have to take here. This is my first time in here, just to buy gift certificates but boy is the Wheel of Fortune game calling my name... Loudly!!

It looks like the best time to come is early afternoon if you have little ones and boy were the kids happy to be here. Wish I knew the girl's name who helped me but she was so nice. This will be a gift my nephews will love.”

“We held my daughter’s Baby Shower here this Sunday morning…perfect intimate space for our gathering! We rented the space from 7:30 am until 12:30. It was (by far) the most reasonable and affordable venue in the area!!

We were met at the front door just before 7:30am by Payton’s smiling face….she was so friendly and welcoming! She showed us a convenient place, close to the door that we could park, so that we could unload our cars with all of our supplies for the shower. Once everything was dropped off inside, we then parked directly across the street from the Venue with plenty of parking and easy access for our guests.
Payton not only helped us unload our cars ….she graciously offered to help us set up. She was so helpful!
The space was perfect…warm and inviting!!!
About 20 minutes before we needed to leave…there was Payton again to jump in and help us to pack everything up!
Such outstanding support!

I would highly recommend Milrace Kitchen and Events for your next gathering!”

“Two years ago my daughter bought me a bottle of wine from a different town from where we live. I don’t drink red wine often but this was particularly good and I wanted to buy some again. I looked high and low until just recently on VINOvations I discovered they carried it!! I was delighted! I ordered two bottles which were delivered within 2 weeks and in perfect condition. I highly recommend VINOvations!! I will buy from them again in the future!!!”

“Service was quick not many people been there in the past and it was ridiculous they were short-staffed but this particular game everything was going smoothly and it wasn't overcrowded”

“This place is fantastic! My three-year-old had an absolute blast and didn’t want to leave even after two hours. It’s incredibly clean and filled with great toys. His favorite was the ball pit; mine was the realistic soft bricks in the work zone. While we were there, they hosted a teddy bear tea time with sweet tea and mini muffins, which was a nice touch. The staff were friendly, and the space was busy enough for plenty of social interaction without feeling overcrowded.”

“Super fun course. Narrow and short…and very beautiful. Tees and greens weren’t in the best shape…but otherwise loved it. Getting to play in two states at once is pretty cool”
