The beautiful ballroom, perched atop Strawberry Hill, has enormous windows overlooking our championship golf course and a panoramic view of the Boston cityscape. We'd be delighted to help you plan a memorable occasion! With the value and simplicity of a wedding package plan, the Oakley Country Club, which was founded in 1898, continues its long reputation of great food and service. For retirement parties, employee appreciation dinners, fundraisers, and holiday parties, we are glad to offer a range of menu selections. Showers, baptisms, reunions, and birthday parties are all held in the ballroom. Contact us immediately to start planning your 50-300 person special event. The ballroom at Oakley Country Club can accommodate up to 205 guests and boasts the coveted middle-of-the-room dance floor, giving all of your guests a perfect view of your special day. The appropriate place to start your event is in a separate cocktail area with a view of the Boston skyline and our beautiful golf course. In a devastating fire in 1962, the old Oakley Clubhouse was destroyed. It was replaced by a new clubhouse, which was rebuilt in 1998 to match the original Bulfinch building's lines. The Club's efforts to maintain the charm of a New England rural estate while delivering best-in-class country club accommodations are being bolstered by the 2018-19 clubhouse renovations. The configuration of the course has remained unchanged since the last Ross re-design in 1910. In 2004, the Club hired restoration architects to look over the century-old Ross plans and realign the bunkers and greens to match the Master's layout. Oakley is a landlocked city club. Because our architect's greatest talent was his ability to route fairways, our 85 precious acres allow us an extraordinarily efficient 6,000 yard course!

When you attend a private event at the Biltmore with your family, friends, or coworkers, you get to enjoy all of life's greatest hits in one wonderful evening! We can collaborate with you to design a menu based on the Biltmore's trademark appetizers, entrees, sides, and desserts. Within the renowned walls of the Biltmore, there is something very distinctive and unique. As you travel the century-old wood floors to your private Biltmore party room, you are a part of history, from the original stamped tin ceilings to the beautiful wood paneling. You can almost imagine the big parties that have taken place throughout the decades to celebrate life, love of food, and good times. With these excellent places available for your perfect celebration, this local tradition continues today. The Biltmore, which opened in 1914, has a long history as a Newton favorite. It started out selling breakfast and ale to local industrial workers staying the night, and its four-lane bowling alley was a popular hangout for decades. The Biltmore was a secret speakeasy for the upper crust during prohibition, frequently hosting private events for dignitaries, politicians, and celebrities. The Biltmore underwent a stunning refurbishment a century after it first opened, restoring the ancient building's grandeur while providing a more pleasant atmosphere. Much of the original brick façade and interior have survived the test of time, as has the original wood flooring. We maintain the Biltmore's spirit alive today with American food and a rotating variety of local beers and handcrafted cocktails. Something exciting is always happening at the Biltmore. Our events give a traditional restaurant experience a new spin. Come in for Oyster Mondays, Karaoke Fridays, and a whole lot more. We also have a private dining room available, which is ideal for any special occasion. We are excited to share history with you!

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.
