“This place is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue. It’s a historical building with beautiful grounds that you would never expect to be in Watertown. We did a hotel block right next door at the Hampton inn - some of our guests walked back to the hotel after the wedding which was super convenient!! We felt comfortable not booking a shuttle for that reason. Additionally, the shopping plaza next door provides several options for an after party location ?

I have to agree with one of the previous reviews stating that the staff is there to protect the mansion, not to ensure you have a great wedding day. We hired a wedding planner who advocated for us throughout the planning process and was a huge help the day of the wedding. I truly do not think we would have had such an enjoyable day without her - you absolutely should budget for someone like this if you book this venue.

Despite the gorgeous vineyard-lined ceremony area, you need to expect some less than ideal weather for this location. This means coming up with a weather plan that you are excited about. We had incredible weather, but the forecast was touch and go, and I was so stressed that we would have to go with plan B, which we weren’t excited about at all. This plan requires working with your catering team (the biggest expense of all…), so you should not be afraid to tell them what you want and don’t want in the event of inclement weather.

Do I regret having our wedding here? Absolutely not
Would I recommend it as a wedding venue? I’m not so sure.

Definitely do your research into the catering expenses before you book - and seek out a planner to do some vetting before you book here - this could help you anticipate expenses and understand the nuances to hosting an event at a city-run facility.”

“Being a member at Musicians Playground has been an amazing experience! A few months ago I joined to get back into playing piano but have since also taken voice, guitar, and drum classes/lessons! I've met so many incredible instructors and other talented members. There is a truly wonderful community at MP!”

“This was super fun for the kids (7,9, and 10). We prepared by watching the Liberty Kids: American Revolution series on YouTube. You get assigned a colonial character, attend a rousing meeting and then throw tea crates into the harbor! Followed by some very cool history lessons - I won't give away the surprises. Great use of modern tech to share historical knowledge. The tea room is a great spot for a snack after.”

“Our Microsoft team had such a fantastic experience at Pinot’s Palette in Lexington, MA! From start to finish, their team was incredibly helpful, responsive, and accommodating as we planned our event. They made the entire process seamless and ensured everything was set up perfectly for our group.
A big part of what made the event so special was how welcoming and supportive the instructors were. Many of our team members came in feeling a little nervous about their artistic abilities, but the Pinot’s Palette team quickly put everyone at ease. Their guidance was clear, encouraging, and fun, which helped everyone relax and enjoy the experience.
By the end of the session, the room was full of energy, laughter, and a lot of pride in the artwork everyone created. It was amazing to see how engaged the team became, and how much they enjoyed stepping outside their comfort zones.
Overall, it was such a fun and memorable team event, and we truly appreciate the outstanding support from the Pinot’s Palette staff. We would absolutely recommend them and look forward to coming back again!”

“I spent a lot of time walking around this massive space and was really impressed by how easy it is to navigate despite its size. The layout is very open with lots of natural light coming in through the big windows, which makes it feel bright and welcoming rather than just a plain building. Everything is kept very clean, from the wide hallways to the various meeting rooms, and there are plenty of spots to sit down and take a break. It is located in a great part of the city, so it was really convenient to step outside and find plenty of shops and places to eat just a short walk away. The staff was also very helpful in pointing me in the right direction when I got a little turned around looking for a specific hall. It’s a great, professional venue that feels very organized and comfortable for a long day of exploring.”

“I've been coming here for Adult Pottery Classes for 5 semesters now. Bel is a fantastic teacher, and I really gravitate to her education style. There is such a spectrum of experience/skill amongst my classmates, but the positive and collaborative environment enables us all to create alongside each other without any imposter syndrome.
I totally recommend this studio for anyone who wants to try pottery on the wheel.”

“Beautiful, accommodating, and easy to work with. We had our wedding here in October 2025 and I could not have asked for a better venue. We fell in love with it instantly and, along with our planner, Patrick helped up bring in all the vendors we needed for a perfect weekend.”

“A great place for a walk. It started as an opulent estate in the early 20th century, later became a seminary, and is now public property that is leased to the Horticultural Society, which charges admission to the central section on which flowers are grown. There is a nice wooded trail along the Charles River. .”

“Great second floor venue for small shows for crowds of up to 250ish. Complete with a full bar, small backstage area with three makeup mirrors, bright HD big screen projector for back wall of stage, stage lighting with lighting booth, audio booth. Venue also supplies chairs and small tables as needed. If you are hosting a fundraiser, or a large wedding reception, or a talent show, similar, you will love this space!”

“Came for the super secret reunion show of 1980s Cambridge legends Fine Line, but will definitely be back! Intimate art/music venue in the heart of (woefully underrated) Inman Square. As an added bonus, Cloud Candy on tap. Highly recommended.”

“A small museum, but a great selection of turn of the century automobiles. It's in an old carriage house, so if you are into architecture, you'll appreciate it. There are some early Japanese model cars there. This place is small, but the entry fee is modest, and they offer a military discount.”

“Was a great experience. The Berklee students put on a great tribute concert to David Bowie. The place is small enough that there really aren't any bad seats, it's very comfortable and the place is made for good sound. Had a great time.”

“We attended this in Boston in a castle, which was a pretty cool experience. The Moonwalkers was fantastic. I loved everything - the story, the technology, the graphics, pictures, venue! They did a really good job telling the story with the history. I loved the imagery and really felt like we were on a rocket and walking on the moon!”

“The Jane Austen Tea at Endicott House in May 2026 was even better than the March 2025 event.

The food quality improvement was obvious immediately: fresher bread, a much more varied and thoughtfully curated sandwich selection, and several standout savory items—the cucumber & watercress, coronation chicken, turkey & walnut finger sandwiches, and even delightful egg sandwiches.

Olivia’s return as Jane Austen was wonderful; she’s a convincing and charming performer who adds enormously to the experience (and actually plays the harp beautifully).

I also appreciated the thoughtful hospitality touches this year, like being able to help yourself to lemonade, water, or iced tea in addition to the hot tea service—it made the afternoon feel especially welcoming and relaxed.

One of the loveliest aspects is that many guests fully embrace the spirit of the event by dressing in Regency attire, which adds to the fun and makes the whole experience feel delightfully immersive.”

They offer various amenities, including a gym, an indoor pool, and a coffee shop located inside the hotel. I highly recommend visiting this hotel; you will not be disappointed. PS.

“I was a tenant at Boston Offices from 2018 through 2024 any my experience was exceptional. Each staff member with whom I interacted was helpful and professional. The facilities were clean and well-maintained - I never had even the slightest hesitation about hosting meetings there. Pricing was competitive, especially considering the services included. I highly recommend Boston Offices and would most certainly rent office space here again.”

“We had a wonderful experience at the University of Massachusetts Club for Alicia’s 15th birthday celebration! The venue was elegant, welcoming, and beautifully suited for such a special milestone event. The atmosphere, city views, and event space helped create a memorable celebration for Alicia, her family, and all the guests.

A heartfelt thank you to Sandra Forest for having Hello Photo Booth Rental be part of this special day. It was a pleasure working with you, and we truly appreciated the opportunity to help capture fun and joyful memories throughout the celebration.

We also want to thank the University of Massachusetts Club staff for their professionalism, warm hospitality, and excellent support in managing the event and setup. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and their attention to detail made the experience seamless for everyone involved.

Thank you again to University of Massachusetts Club, Sandra Forest, and the entire staff for such a beautiful event. We were honored to be part of Alicia’s 15th birthday and look forward to future celebrations together”

“I really enjoyed dinner here. From the outside it looks like it will just be bar food, but I had a ribeye steak and it was absolutely perfect. The mocktails were also amazing. There's a decent wine list, and reasonably priced. For beer, you can get a miniature yard glass, which is what the place is named after. I've never seen those outside of Ireland. The waitress was really attentive, kind, and friendly. The only drawback is that it can be a little loud.”
