125.0. "outdoor wedding ideas ??" by SIERRA::OSMAN (and silos to fill before I feep, and silos to fill before I feep) Fri May 16 1986 11:03

    Hi.  My fiancee and I are getting married this August.  We're looking
    for an outdoorish smallish non-traditional jewish wedding.
    
    We're in the Boston, White Mountains, Martha's Vineyard area.
    
    Anyone having some nice ideas, regarding caterers, locations,
    or rabbis, I'd love to hear.
    
    I figure we'll have about 50 - 100 guests.
    
    Thanks.

125.2Cathedral in the PinesSWATT::MAGENHEIMFri May 16 1986 15:198
    There's a place in N.H. called Cathedral in the Pines, a
    non-denominational site somewhere near Mason/Greenville.  I think
    you have to call and reserve it, but not sure how.
    
    BTW, don't forget to take yourself out of THE_PHOENIX!  %^}

125.3Eastern Exposition Park, Springfield MASWATT::POLIKOFFArnie PolikoffFri May 16 1986 18:516
    	There is a place in Springfield MA. I forgot the name but it
    is in the Springfield Eastern Exposition Park. I went to my cousins
    wedding there last year. She is Jewish from an Orthadox family and
    he is Gentile. The wedding is held outdoors in a gazeebo and the
    reception is in a restaurant about 50 yards from the gazeebo ( I
    like that word ). It was a real nice affair.

    RE: .-1
    
    I believe the place that the last note was referring to is in WEST
    Springfield at the Eastern States Exposition grounds.  The restaurant
    on the grounds is called Storrowton.
    
    Another suggestion:  There is a privately run wildlife preserve in
    Belmont, MA (just west of Cambridge) called Habitat.  There is a house
    on the grounds that is used for things such as weddings.  I've not been
    in the house, but have been told that it is quite nice.  The preserve
    itself is very nice.

    We had our wedding at Habitat in Belmont. It was very nice. Outdoor
    ceremony, and then the reception was indoors. We had about 80 people
    which is about the maximum that the house there can hold.

    Mazal Tov, Kiddush... Kiddush....
                         
    Actually I have no suggestions just a little funny story.
    I got married outdoors at Westmount Country Club in N.J. The caterer
    said, the club's members might be coming around noon so they would
    be able to see us on the veranda if we dragged out the ceremony.
    When we all walked down I could see people lined up on the diving
    board watching, when my wife came out and they saw white they let
    out a huge cheer.  
    
    It was nice but if you're up in New England area go for real nice
    and scenic.

125.7More info on Cathedral of the PinesZEPPO::ROSENTHALDonna RosenthalTue Jun 03 1986 14:2916
    Re: .2
    
    Cathedral of the Pines is located in Rindge, NH.   It's a 
    beautiful place (they hold Jewish services there on occasion...)  
    It was a familiar haunt of mine while in college (in the same town).  
    Looking straight ahead from the altar is Mount Monadnock.
    
    It's off Route 119, on (appropriately) Cathedral Road.  
    Phone (603) 899-3300.  Mailing address:
    
                          CATHEDRAL OF THE PINES
                          CATHEDRAL ROAD
                          RINDGE, NH     03461
    
    And yes, they do have weddings there...
