In addition, we have a 35-acre farm on the premises, where we proudly serve all of our own produce during the harvest season. We only host one wedding per day, allowing our clients to select the time slot that works best for them.

A stone fireplace, full bar, and adjacent screened in porch are available for cocktail hour (depending on the time of day, the Library Bar & Restaurant area may also be available for cocktail hour), and our newly constructed ballroom, which can accommodate up to 200 guests, was completed in 2012.

Because of the outdoor ceremony site, the numerous photograph locations around the farm, and the formal ballroom reception, we are able to provide our guests with a timeless and elegant country wedding experience.

The Lowell Memorial Auditorium is an indoor venue on Merrimack Street in downtown Lowell, Massachusetts. Concerts, family shows, conferences, conventions, trade exhibitions, corporate seminars, and much more can all be held here. Blackall, Clapp & Whittemore, an architectural firm, designed the 2,800-seat facility in 1922. The Lowell Memorial Auditorium is administered by Lowell Management Group and is located in scenic and historic downtown Lowell. Mill City Operation, which is owned and run by Tom McKay, Terry McCarthy, and Leo Creegan, took over management of the Lowell Memorial Auditorium in 1995. The Lowell Memorial Auditorium continues to thrive as a destination for all types of attractions under MCM's guidance, and is now busier than ever. The Lowell Memorial Auditorium has hosted events about 250 days a year in previous years. Walking through the structure is like reliving Lowell's and America's military history. All of the major combat sites from the American Revolution, including Bunker Hill and Trenton, Gettysburg and Appomattox, San Juan Hill, Bellows Wood, and Chateau-Thiery, are well-known. Many more fought, bled, and died in lesser-known engagements, which are also commemorated in the entablature. Fair Oaks, Cold Harbor, Spottsylvania, Chapultec, Soissons, and other cities have been named after them. To those who fought or died in them, all conflicts are as important. The Auditorium now sits at the gateway to Historic Downtown Lowell, a beautiful and suitable monument to welcome visitors and possibly Belvidere's most proud structure.

    The Union Oyster House, near Faneuil Hall on the Freedom Trail, holds the distinction of being America's oldest eatery. This Boston institution, housed in a pre-Revolutionary War building, began serving food in 1826 and has remained in the same location ever since, with the stalls and oyster bar, where Daniel Webster was a regular client, in their original locations. Cocktail parties, buffets, and banquets can all be held in one of our private function spaces. Our Private Function Rooms and Private Dining Rooms are available for your next event, banquet, meeting, or party. We can accommodate parties between 20 and 100 persons.

If you have a group of 20 or more persons, please contact our Dining Room Manager at (617) 227-2750. Although Union Street was laid out in 1636, two years after the Boston Common, there are no municipal documents indicating when the Oyster House was built. All that is known is that the structure has stood on Union Street for almost 250 years as a notable neighborhood landmark. The building hosted importer Hopestill Capen's fancy garment goods shop, "At the Sign of the Cornfields," in 1742, before becoming a seafood house. The Boston shoreline had come up to the back door of the dry goods store at this time, making it easy for ships to deliver their cloth and products from Europe. The Union Oyster House has only had three owners since 1826. Mr. Joseph A. Milano, Jr., and Ms. Mary Ann Milano Picardi have been carrying on renowned dining and service traditions since 1970.
