The charming rooms on The House of the Seven Gables' property that host smaller indoor weddings are not only warm and inviting: They’re also historic.

The Plumstock-Holyoke Room can host up to 80 guests or be divided into two smaller rooms. Outdoor venues include spectacular gardens with summer and fall blooms, a small side lawn and the Seaside Lawn, with stunning waterfront views. Vendors for catering and other services are recommended, and a dedicated event staff member will guide you every step of the way, to make your smaller wedding as perfect as you imagined.
