707.0. "Wedding ideas needed" by NRADM1::RASKETT () Fri Feb 05 1988 15:57

    Hi, I'm a first time noter with a question. 
    
    I'm recently engaged and looking for a nice outdoor spot for my
    wedding/reception (garden preferable).  If anyone has any ideas,
    or knows of such a spot in the Worcester, Ma area, I'd love to
    hear them.

    Pam,
    
    Worcester Poly Tech has a lovely estate called the Higgins House attached
    to the campus, which is available for Weddings/Receptions.  It has
    beautiful gardens and the House itself is exquisite.  If you'd like
    the WPI Food Service (DAKA) will even cater.  I worked for the food
    service for a couple of receptions there, and the food served was
    excellent (not at all like the $%&^ they served to us lowlife in
    the campus cafeteria).  Call WPI to reserve...
    
    Across the campus in Elm Park (the oldest park in the country) is
    a lovely wooden bridge that is popular for wedding photographs -
    they used to kick us frisbee players out of that section of the
    park when they were doing the photo sessions.

707.2one place to look for ideasSTUBBI::B_REINKEwhere the sidewalk endsFri Feb 05 1988 16:515
    There are some ideas way back in note 30...and I know that a couple
    of other files like H_R have notes on wedding places. Does anyone
    else remember any references to other notes.

707.3If you want to travel a bit.DIXIE1::DSCOTTSat Feb 06 1988 18:448
    One of the most "New England" outdoor setting for a wedding is in
    Sudbury at Longfellows Wayside Inn.  The wedding chapel is right
    next door - the Mary-Margaret Chapel and its open to all, with sufficient
    notice.  Call the Wayside Inn for details.
    
    Also, in Westboro, the Country Club has been known to do a good job.

    on the previous reply and the M-M chapel,
    note the operative word "sufficient" in the phrase "sufficient notice".
    the wait can be more than a year.

    Again, if you don't mind traveling a bit, Cathedral of the Pines
    in Ringe, NH, makes a beautiful spot for a wedding.

                          <Congratulations!!!>
    When making the arrangements for our wedding last August, my 
    wife and I wished to hold the wedding/reception outside. As fate
    would have it, we decided to do everything inside. It turned out
    to be a blessing in disguise. It was cold and rainy for four
    days straight until the morning after the wedding!!! 
    
    Don't forget to add Mother Nature to the guest list!!!
    
    Good luck and have a wonderful time.

    Thank you all for your ideas.  It was so nice receiving all those
    responses.  
    re: .2 - What is the H_R notesfile?
    re: .8 - Thanks, it did give many good suggestions.
    Any more?  I'd love to hear them. As you can see I'm open to all
    ideas, restaurants...?

    When I was at the art museum today I saw a wedding party assembling
    as the museum was closing.  The photographer was getting everyone
    lined up for various shots with paintings in the background.  I
    don't know if they planned their reception there or just photographs,
    but the location is something different.
