Affordable Weddings Weddings North of Boston Massachusetts (MA)

You want a wedding that is affordable – but one that your guests will remember for a lifetime. They can do that at the Concord Museum, an unforgettable venue that is ideal for small weddings. Only 30 minutes from Boston, in the town that launched the American Revolution, the newly redesigned museum’s natural beauty and historic significance (guests can stroll through galleries containing, among other remarkable objects, the Paul Revere Lantern and Henry David Thoreau’s desk) will provide a memorable wedding day. The brand new Lyceum is a charming site for ceremonies and receptions, and the museum has an exclusive list of caterers to choose from as well as an experienced function professional to help plan all the details and to be there on your big day.

If you are thinking about an elopement or a smaller wedding, consider the Harbor Light Inn, two combined Federalist mansions nestled into the historic downtown area of scenic Marblehead. The elegant inn is a lovely site for your celebration, with up to 30 guests, or as an inviting retreat for guests attending a celebration and reception in town. The inn’s concierge can help with details from flowers and photography to catering menus and yacht rentals! And guests can stay in comfortable rooms with working fireplaces, jetted spa tubs and finely tooled furniture reflecting the inn’s 18th century roots. There’s a popular, intimate tavern, and outdoor pool and nearby activities from sailing charters and paddle boarding to historic sites, museums and parks.

At the Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites on historic Pickering Wharf, your wedding budget is part of the equation that adds up to a memorable experience on your big day. A certified professional wedding coordinator, dedicated banquet captain and world-class culinary team will help you customize everything from decor to dining options. The hotel offers block room rates and an extensive list of preferred vendors including officiants, florists, videographers and musicians. A variety of wedding packages include your ceremony outside on the green adjacent to the wharf or inside in an elegant ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, where receptions for up to 220 guests include sumptuous dining and dancing into the evening. The hotel’s Regatta Pub is also a great site for rehearsal dinners.
