Originally designed in 1880, Moraine Farm has been hailed as "the finest existing example of Frederick Law Olmsted's approach to planning a country estate" by pre-eminent Olmsted scholar Charles E. Beveridge. Olmsted created lawns, hedges, rustic stone walls, and a magnificent meadow – and collaborated with Boston architects Peabody and Stearns to design a massive stone terrace facing the lake, extending the shingle-and-stone house into the landscape. The farm took its name from a low ridge of glacial debris, called a moraine, which Olmsted used to provide an elevated vantage point for the paths and carriage drives that looped through 75 acres of coniferous forest, passed lake and meadow views, and climbed to an overlook on the edge of the 40-acre farm. The Estate at Moraine Farm is a spectacular setting for your wedding or special event. This historic property is set on 175 acres, much of which is conservation land and forest, and is sited overlooking beautiful Wenham Lake.

Celebrate your special day amidst some of the most spectacular scenery in the Northeast. The 2,100-acre Crane Estate is an unforgettable destination for your special event with its winding salt marshes, miles of barrier beach, and beautiful hilltop mansion. Chicago industrialist Richard T. Crane, Jr. first purchased the land that would become The Crane Estate in 1910. Crane was captivated by the beautiful landscape, and over the next two decades worked with some of America's leading architects and landscape architects to shape his summer retreat, sited with hilltop vistas of the Atlantic in an area of the property known as Castle Hill. In 1928, Castle Hill was crowned with a 59-room Stuart-style mansion designed by world-renowned architect David Adler. Today, the Crane family mansion is known as The Great House on The Crane Estate and is protected, along with the rest of Castle Hill, as a 165-acre National Historic Landmark.

Mila [mee:lah], short for Milagros, meaning “miracles” in Spanish, represents a love story—one of love for each other, family, and a deep passion for hospitality. Mila’s owners, Jay and Liz Curcio, crossed paths over a decade ago through a client of The White Apron. Jay founded The White Apron in 2004, starting from his own kitchen. By 2011, the company had grown to cater weddings across the NH seacoast. Liz, an event planner and trained chef, was living in NYC and helping her best friend plan her wedding in NH, which just so happened to be catered by The White Apron. When Liz and Jay met, sparks flew, and they soon teamed up to grow The White Apron into a premier off-premise catering business, serving events across Maine, Northern Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and the Lakes Region. Through ingenuity and the dedication of their talented staff, The White Apron not only weathered the pandemic but has continued to elevate its food and service as its clientele expands. While the off-premise business flourished, Jay and Liz shared the dream of opening a venue where they could create exceptional experiences for their clients year-round, without the constraints of an off-site kitchen. That dream is now a reality. The venue is named "MILA," short for Milagros, in honor of Liz’s grandmother. Mila was a forward-thinking, wise woman who, alongside Liz’s grandfather, ran a highly successful bakery for over 50 years. A tough, hardworking, and hospitable entrepreneur, Mila was deeply devoted to her family and community, passing down invaluable life lessons, traditions, and love. MILA by The White Apron honors her spirit, offering a welcoming space where guests feel seen and valued. At its core, the venue is built on a foundation of delicious food, impeccable service, and a classically elegant setting.

Please contact Ashley Piazza, our Director of Events, if you have any questions or would like more information! Smolak Farms Information Smolak Farms has a long and illustrious history. Michael Smolak, the farm's owner, was present during his Aunt Willie's wedding on the farm when he was two years old. He had no idea at the time, back in 1954, that his wedding would mark the beginning of a long and lovely history of couples choosing Smolak Farms as their wedding location of choice. The farm has roots that date back as far as 4500 years, to the time when Native Americans originally settled on the property. The lovely rolling hills of orchards and farmland that cover 125 acres serve as the perfect setting for this extremely important bonding experience between two individuals. Being linked to nature and all of the beauty it has to offer is a great way to begin a union that brings together not only two people, but two families and two lives as a whole. The pine forest was a favorite picnic spot for Farmer Smolak and his family when they were children, and it has since become a destination for friends and relatives from all over the world. What stories those 100-year-old pines could tell about the many families who have enjoyed their shade and the countless couples who have exchanged holy vows beneath their canopy, if only they could communicate. Their sheer size and presence causes one to take a moment to reflect.

Willow Spring Vineyards places a premium on community and quality. As a young family winery, our dedication to the people, vines, and environment that make up the region we call home is strong. We invite everyone to come by and participate in this event. We'll most likely be tending the vines or harvesting the grapes alongside family and friends if we take a stroll around the vineyards. So come try our wine and become a part of the Willow Spring Vineyards legend. At Willow Spring Vineyards, we can make your fantasy come true, whether it's an exquisite setting, rustic charm, or a green facility. This hidden gem, only 30 miles north of Boston, is the ideal venue for your big day. Willow Spring Vineyards is a picture-perfect location for unforgettable events in our hand-hewn post and beam barn, which sits on more than twenty acres of land. The barn can accommodate up to 99 people for events. A large landscape project completed in 2015 resulted in a lovely lawn area and patio with a stunning fireplace. This grass is large enough to accommodate a tent for up to 200 people. In the year 2000, Jim and Cindy Parker bought a dilapidated barn and a plot of land from Mary Ray. We started the adventure with a strong focus on restoration and agriculture. Beginning with the dismantling of the eighteenth-century building, we began mapping and marking each piece in preparation for potential re-assembly. The edifice was pulled down piece by piece and logged for rebuilding with the help of family, friends, neighbors, and passers-by. For the huge space, an energy efficient system was designed as part of the green building planning. This barn is truly green, thanks to geothermal heating and cooling and a photovoltaic system (solar panels). Our two acres of grapes surround the beautiful 18th century barn, which can easily be seen from the road. The magnificent 25+ acres continue behind the barn, which may be appreciated from the wraparound deck or in front of the majestic hearth.

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.
