The Historical Society of Wells and Ogunquit stewards the history of two coastal Maine towns from a landmark 1862 Meetinghouse on Route 1 in Wells. The building — an intact example of Gothic Revival architecture listed on the National Register of Historic Places — has anchored the site since 1662 and houses the organization's museum and research library alongside a program of exhibits and community events. The Meetinghouse is available to rent for weddings and ceremonies. Its light-filled sanctuary accommodates 225 to 250 seated guests along two aisles, and the space retains original nineteenth-century features including wood floors, a vintage pump organ, chandeliers, and an electronic keyboard. Because the building operates as a historic property rather than a house of worship, there are no denomination restrictions. On-site parking in the driveway is supplemented by an adjacent lot.

Built in 1948 and extensively renovated after Robert Friedman acquired the property in 2013, the Inn pairs a fine-dining restaurant and ten individually designed guest rooms with grounds shaped for events: a botanical garden with more than 200 plant varieties in bloom from March through November, and a two-tiered, 3,500-square-foot flagstone patio and terrace overlooking Leonard's Creek, warmed by gas fire pits and café lighting. For weddings and private events, the Grande Pavilion offers a climate-controlled space for up to 300 guests, with a dance floor and a layout that adapts from intimate dinners to full-scale receptions.

The Inn at Grace Farm is a private estate wedding venue set in the Vermont countryside of Fairfax, with panoramic views of the Green Mountains. Originally a farming homestead, the property still bears remnants of its original stone footings, and its current buildings — the Inn, the Stone House, and an octagon-shaped post-and-beam barn — reflect that agricultural heritage. The barn, built in 2014 with lumber drawn largely from the surrounding acreage, serves as the estate's reception space; it received a fresh coat of white paint in 2022 and includes radiant floor heating and an on-site catering kitchen, making it a year-round option for weddings. The estate offers three outdoor ceremony sites: a front lawn framed by a built-in timber arch with the Green Mountains as a backdrop, a west lawn set closest to the property's waterfall, and a more secluded backyard site anchored by an old stone structure. Couples and their wedding parties can also stay on site — the Inn and the Stone House provide boutique lodging for getting ready, rehearsal dinners, and morning-after brunches, with exclusive access to the property throughout the wedding weekend.

The Grand Opera House is a performing arts center in Wilmington, Delaware, with a history stretching back to 1871. Designed by Delaware architect Thomas Dixon in the Second Empire style, the original building served as the headquarters of the Grand Lodge of the Masons and opened with over seventy performances its first season. After a period of decline, a community restoration effort returned the theater to life in 1973 — described at the time as "the most spectacularly successful preservation effort in Wilmington's history." Today the organization operates three distinct performance venues: the historic Copeland Hall (1,140 seats), The Baby Grand (305 seats), and The Playhouse on Rodney Square (1,252 seats), the oldest continuously operating legitimate theater in the country. Together they present more than 80 shows annually and welcome over 120,000 visitors to downtown Wilmington each year, hosting resident companies including the Delaware Symphony, Opera Delaware, and First State Ballet Theatre. For private events and corporate gatherings, the organization offers eight rental spaces ranging from the intimate Ninth Muse (60 standing) to the grand Copeland Hall stage and lobby. The team brings the same focus on professionalism and precise planning to private events as it does to its public programming.

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.

Grapevine Farms Restaurant & Boutique occupies a restored 1850s farmhouse in Cobleskill, New York — the same building long known to locals as "The Mauhs'." The owners discovered the then-abandoned property while studying at SUNY Cobleskill, renovated it with family and friends, and opened on October 12, 2002, just one week after their wedding. Spread across three floors of themed rooms, the property brings together a Farmhouse Bistro, Wine Cellar, bakery, and retail shop under one historic roof. Banquet services are available for private groups looking to host gatherings in the farmhouse setting. Grapevine Farms was named 2020 Retailer of the Year by the New York Wind & Grape Foundation.

Sea Captain Uriah Howe originally built the Barn that now houses the Borsari Gallery in the early 1800s. The barn's first purpose was to serve as a commercial abattoir for Cape Cod and its environs. The Crowell family held the Sea Captain's home and abattoir for for a century, until it was purchased by Cape Cod local artist David Grose in 1960 and utilized to showcase his work. Bob and Kathy Borsari bought the property in 2008 and undertook a three-year renovation that was both elaborate and historically appropriate. The post and beam construction was lovingly restored to its original New England rustic elegance. The original pumpkin pine flooring was exposed, the century-old "ice box" was used, and the historic 1800s track & pulley system that was employed on the property when it was an operating abattoir was displayed. It was at this point that the barn's original beauty was revealed. While the original goal of the restoration was to create a setting that would allow Bob and Kathy to continue the history of presenting good art, it was clear by the end that they had produced much more than an art gallery. As a result, the Borsari Gallery was born: "Exceptional Image & Memorable Events." A pleasant and sophisticated environment with plenty of atmosphere; an ideal and surely unusual place for small gatherings of up to 100 people.
