The John Nesmith House reflects the splendor of an era when Lowell, Massachusetts was home to some of America's first captains of industry. The house is an elegant setting for small conferences, retreats, dinners and receptions, as well as intimate weddings.

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.

The National Register of Historic Places currently includes the 143-acre estate and its buildings. The mansion's exquisite interiors capture the drama of each day in ever-changing conditions of sunlight and shade, with a slogan of "art for the sake of art, beauty for the sake of beauty."

The Meadow is a place where people go to relax and unwind after a long day of work. Differences between the two epochs A family-owned and operated cattle farm for more than 40 years, Red Ridge Farm has been producing quality beef. We have more than 50 acres of pasture that is lovely, peaceful, and natural. This land has been cultivated, cared for, and cherished by two generations of my family members. It's quiet, tranquil, and far away from the hectic, chaotic lives that we all lead today. Our daughter came to us in the winter of 2011 and said, "I want my wedding here, at home, in the cow field." This was the beginning of a long journey. We thought she was insane at first, but then we realized that it was the ideal location for her, our nature-loving daughter, and for all of the couples who want to celebrate one of the most significant days of their lives in the midst of all that nature has to offer on their special day. So, on one of the rainiest days of June 2012, she and her love were united in marriage in what turned out to be the most beautiful and memorable wedding any of us had ever witnessed. With character, charm, and beauty...and cows...we provide a one-of-a-kind rustic country setting. It's a field brimming with love from the couples who have made the commitment of a lifetime to one other here in the midst of nature, and from the guy, the farmer, who has tended to and loved the land for the better part of his life. This is where love lives, according to the family and children who live and play here, as well as the animals who roam freely and calmly throughout the day. We would be happy to share this place with you on your special day. As a result, we are conveniently placed in the seaside town of Salisbury, Massachusetts, just minutes from major highways 95 and US-1 and a few miles south of the New Hampshire border.

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.
