Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
Read More Show Less- Yes, it's that House of the Seven Gables—the very home that inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne's treasured novel of the same name. When you wed here, you'll become part of this extraordinary spot's 350-year history.
- Host a waterfront ceremony and reception on the Seaside Lawn. Follow your open-air vows with a celebration under an opulent tent, whose clear-sidewalls and ceiling guarantee you won't miss any of the spectacular views.
- Smaller affairs can be held in the charming Holyoke-Plumstock Room, which can be divided into two separate spaces. Or, choose the cozy Hooper-Hathaway House, a delightful Colonial Revival cottage with much of its original Jacobean detailing.
