The Cape Club of Sharon is a country club and private event venue set on 200 acres in Sharon, Massachusetts, approximately 25 minutes from both Boston and Providence.

The clubhouse underwent a comprehensive renovation completed in May 2022. The centerpiece for private events is the newly renovated Grand Ballroom, featuring a dramatic cathedral ceiling, elegant chandeliers, an oversized dance floor, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the golf course landscape and illuminated outdoor fire pits. The space accommodates 60 to 270 guests for weddings, milestone celebrations, corporate gatherings, and private parties.

The Mansion at Glen Magna Farms has been described as "as close to heaven as one can go in this earth," with an estate of eleven acres. Routes 1 and 95 are less than a mile away. The venue is great for weddings. Formal gardens massed with colorful perennials, annuals, shrubs, and an arboretum make up the award-winning landscape. The Old Fashioned Garden is anchored by a replica of Francis Peabody's original Gazebo from 1840. If the ceremony takes place within the five-hour rental time range, there is no additional price for the ceremony on the premises. If the ceremony is held outside of the five-hour time frame, an overtime fee will be charged. The bridal party is welcome to attend two hours prior to the ceremony's start time to change and take photos. One hour of rehearsal time is included the day before the wedding. During the War of 1812, Joseph Peabody, the wealthiest Salem shipping trader of the time, purchased a twenty-acre Danvers property with a dwelling described as "perfectly prepared for a gentleman's seat" in every respect. The property developed from a twenty-acre acquisition to over three hundred and thirty acres, serving as the family's summer hideaway for a century and forty-four years. The house and gardens were substantially enlarged and enhanced by Ellen Peabody Endicott, Joseph Peabody's granddaughter, by 1892. In 1893, she commissioned Little, Browne and Moore of Boston to design the Mansion's enlargement to its characteristic colonial revival shape. Ellen Endicott received the Hunnewell Gold Medal from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 1926, the year before she died. This award was granted to the owner of a three-acre estate that was tastefully and effectively planted with rare and desired ornamental trees and shrubs to offer successful instances of science, talent, and good judgment in the adornment of the country mansion. Until his death in 1936, her son, William Crowninshield Endicott, Jr., continued to pour attention on the Farms, renovating and enhancing the estate. In 1901, he played a key role in bringing the Derby Summer House (built in 1794) to the site. Since 1968, the two-story Adamesque structure has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. The Danvers Historical Society purchased the core eleven acres of the site in 1963 and has attempted to restore the gardens and grounds to their original appearance in the early twentieth century.

Danversport, which is owned and maintained by the DeLorenzo family, began as a dream more than 50 years ago when Joseph DeLorenzo envisioned a particular spot for the community to celebrate life's significant occasions. He and his wife Barbara eventually bought this lovely piece of property and began construction on a "big band" type dance hall and marina. The Danversport Yacht Club first opened its doors in 1970, and it rapidly became a popular spot for supper, dancing, and live music. Danversport has thrived and evolved throughout the years to accommodate weddings and special events of all sizes. We're now in the third generation of the DeLorenzo family, and we're just as committed to giving exceptional experiences in a spectacular environment as Joseph was. We're also enthusiastic about the actions we're doing to better our business and assist our community by utilizing solar renewable energy, recycling, and vegetable gardening. Above all, we're honored to continue assisting you in celebrating and making amazing memories. We hope you have a great day in Danversport! Thank you very much for your business.

The Stevens-Coolidge House is available as a photography site. It’s the perfect place for photoshoots for family, friends, a bridal party, an anniversary, and more. The Trustees are the owners and managers of the land. This member-supported nonprofit conservation group works to safeguard rare places across Massachusetts and protects properties of extraordinary aesthetic, historic, and ecological importance for public use and pleasure. The Stevens-Coolidge Place is accessible for professional outdoor photography/portraits on a commission or in-kind basis. Enter the world of a former farm that became an early-20th-century estate, where an elegant and polished mansion is complemented by a newly expanded array of abundant gardens and flora. From 1914 to 1962, Helen Stevens Coolidge and her husband, John Gardner Coolidge—a diplomat descended from Thomas Jefferson and a nephew of Isabella Stewart Gardner—had their vacation home at Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens. The Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens are situated on land that was once used for hunting and fishing by the Pennacook, Pawtucket, Massa-adchu-es-et, and Pentucket peoples. John and Elizabeth Stevens, who emigrated from England in the 1640s, were among North Andover's early European residents. Their grandchildren bought the land in 1729 and began farming it, naming it Ashdale Farm after the huge number of white ask trees that originally thrived on the property. For six generations, the Stevens family has cultivated this land. When Helen Stevens Coolidge inherited Ashdale Farm in 1914, it had become more of a family getaway than a money-making enterprise. Helen and her husband, John Gardner Coolidge, a US diplomat, made the property their holiday home. The home and gardens were renovated by noted preservation architect Joseph Everett Chandler, and the Coolidges converted the property into an extraordinary example of a neo-Georgian Colonial Revival mansion over the period of over five decades.
