THE ROOM OF THE BLACKSMITH We used to have a blacksmith shop in our private dining room, which was originally part of the working quarry. The forge, which was the hearth of the blacksmith, was where granite cutting tools were created, repaired, and sharpened. The Blacksmith Room is decorated with wrought-iron chandeliers, skylights, and vintage sconces that were imported from Europe. When set up as a king-style table, the room can comfortably accommodate 22 guests, or up to 30 people when set up as 5 tables of 6. The perfect setting for a rehearsal dinner, business presentation, family gathering, or cocktail party. THE ROOM WITH THE STONES There are large dark wood bamboo dividers separating this private function space from the main dining room, creating a spacious event space with stone-walled cathedral ceilings, wall mounted wine racks, and floor to ceiling windows. Tucked away toward the front of the building, The Stone Room is the ideal setting for your special occasion or reception. Can accommodate a 30-person event, complete with buffet and cake serving areas as well as gift-giving areas DESCRIPTION OF THE QUARRY ROOM Our Main Dining Room, which overlooks our granite quarry and patio, provides breathtaking views through a wall of full-height glass windows. Along with cathedral ceilings, rustic exposed wood beams, skylights, and wrought-iron chandeliers, the Quarry Room has a warm and inviting atmosphere. Eight four-person leather booths, as well as flexible table arrangements, can accommodate a total of 55 people. This space, when combined with our Stone Room, can accommodate up to 95 guests.

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.

A celebration at the Codman Estate Carriage House is a wonderful way to commemorate a wedding, corporate gathering, or other special occasion. The Codman Estate, nestled in an expansive landscape of gardens, lawns, and meadows, provides a unique country setting just twenty miles from downtown Boston while remaining close to the city. The Codman Estate Carriage House has been completely renovated and is now available for private parties and other events. This venue, with its rich wood paneling and rustic ambiance, offers a casually elegant and reasonably priced option for your wedding reception. The Italian Garden is a particular highlight of the landscape. Featuring a marble-columned pergola covered in flowering vines, this surprisingly formal secret garden is an ideal location for wedding ceremonies and receptions. In the garden, guests can relax by a reflecting pool that is surrounded by flowers, classical urns, and statues. A beautiful but less formal setting for photographs can be found in an English country garden, which was originally designed and maintained by Dorothy Codman. Your rental includes the use of the Carriage House, gardens, and grounds, as well as the freedom to create your own event from the ground up. Tables should be decorated with fresh flowers and fine linens for a formal wedding. For a summer barbecue, use checkered tablecloths and a volleyball net to create a festive atmosphere. In the grand Meadow, you can entertain your guests with lawn games, cocktails, and passed hors d'oeuvres. Dance until the wee hours of the morning. In addition to hosting corporate meetings and business events such as parties, client entertainment, wine tastings, and awards dinners, the Codman Estate also serves as a beautiful and relaxing setting for weddings. Having a clambake or barbecue on the lawn while playing games or listening to music is a popular warm-weather activity. Our experienced events staff will assist you in selecting a caterer and will be available to you throughout the entire planning process.

Throughout the restaurant, we can host private and semi-private parties of 10 to boisterous gatherings of 225 guests. Coach Grill has been dedicated to providing outstanding, five-star service and fine meals suited to each guest's individual interests since the 1930s. Coach Grill is part of the long-standing Wayland neighborhood and rests on the original site of the Red Coach Grill, a popular local hangout until it was destroyed by fire in the late 1970s. The Red Coach Grill was rebuilt decades later, and people returned as if reuniting with an old friend. This cherished New England institution, now known as Coach Grill as part of the Tavistock Restaurant Collection family of concepts, still serves the same elegant hospitality and exceptional cuisine as its ancestor, lighted by the warmth of its original stone hearth fireplace. It has been our joy to politely serve the New England comforts both appreciated by locals and admired by visitors for decades and years to come, as we are rooted in the Massachusetts community. “Best west suburban steak house. No question. Excellent steaks, fresh oysters, lively bar with bartenders who by themselves are worth the trip. Nice people” -Michael D. “I've been here several times and have never been disappointed.
