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!

Farandnear is an 89-acre reservation in Shirley, Massachusetts, managed by The Trustees of Reservations and available for weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, and other private celebrations. The name traces to the property's origins as a Banks family summer retreat — built in 1902, it sat far enough from Boston for a two-day horse journey yet near enough for a seasonal return. The grounds offer an entirely outdoor setting: wooded trails, fields of wildflowers, an arboretum with more than 80 conifer species, remnants of a historic cranberry bog, and a 10-acre hemlock grove called Paradise. Events are anchored by an open-air pavilion with a fire pit. The Bull Run Restaurant serves as exclusive catering manager for all private events at Farandnear, bringing farm-to-table menus and full-service event coordination to the property.

In addition to being a National Historic Landmark, the Lyman Estate, also known as "the Vale," is considered to be one of the finest examples of a country estate built in the style of eighteenth-century English naturalistic design in the United States. For his family's residence in 1793, shipping merchant Theodore Lyman commissioned renowned architect Samuel McIntire to design and construct a Federal-style residence. The house was first expanded in the Victorian style in 1882, and then remodeled in the Colonial Revival style in 1917, under the direction of the family. The thirty-seven-acre property includes gardens that have been meticulously preserved as well as historic greenhouses. During a tour of the mansion, which is now a wedding and corporate event venue, you can learn about the history of the Lyman family. One of the building's architectural features is a graceful oval parlor and an elegant ballroom, both of which can be seen in the upcoming film adaptation of Little Women. Pay a visit to the Lyman Estate Greenhouses for stunning plants and knowledgeable advice. Historic New England is adhering to all applicable state, local, and CDC safety regulations for the Waltham location. All employees and visitors are required to wear protective masks. Improved cleaning and disinfection procedures have been implemented. The number of people who can join the tour is limited.
