  Duxbury Bay Maritime School

  457 Washington St, Duxbury, MA 02332, USA

  • Spaces for 250 Guests
  • 1 Event Space

  In 1997, when the Duxbury Bay Management Society was established, the 2.5-acre parcel was the only remaining waterfront property in Duxbury that allowed for easy access to the Bay. The DBMS campus was acquired and named in honor of William P. Ellison as a result of the generosity of the Ellison Foundation and many others. When the DBMS replaced its aging and dilapidated bulkheads and built a new boat basin and launching ramp along the southern edge of the campus in 2000, the campus was transformed. The school also acquired the properties on either side of the access road from Washington Street, which were previously owned by the school. When two old structures were demolished in July 2003, a new residential building was completed, and a state-of-the-art storm water management system was built, the campus was significantly improved. In 2006, DBMS launched a $5 million fundraising campaign to complete the school's master plan, which included the construction of safe and adequate facilities. After a lengthy fundraising campaign, construction was completed in time for the summer 2009 classes to begin on time. We were able to realize our vision of a modern, energy-efficient building that would house accessible classrooms, an erg room, Clifford Hall, administrative and commercial offices, locker room facilities, and a large garage thanks to the efforts of many volunteers, staff, and Board members. The Duxbury Bay Maritime School is tucked away in the heart of historic Duxbury and its charming bayside setting, making it one of the most popular venues on the South Shore. For private social events such as wedding receptions, showers, holiday parties, and family reunions, we provide the ideal setting. Please contact us for more information. The campus is located on the shores of Duxbury Bay, Massachusetts. The Smith Building at Duxbury Bay Maritime School (DBMS) offers breathtaking views of Duxbury Bay and the surrounding area for all visitors to enjoy. Clifford Hall has an indoor space of 2400 square feet and an outdoor space of 600 square feet on the deck. The DBMS is fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our front porch and paver area, both of which overlook the water, are also available for use – making them ideal for cocktail hour and/or a waterfront wedding ceremony on-site.

  The Estate at Moraine Farm I Trustees of Reservations

  719 Cabot St, Beverly, MA 01915, USA

  • Spaces for 300 Guests
  • 1 Outdoor

  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.
