Fresh flowers, locally grown fruits and vegetables, warm nights and beautiful sunny days – these are just a few of the reasons why we love summer weddings in New England.  From botanical gardens with beautifully restored mansions, to rustic barns or beach front ceremonies, any Boston catering company will tell you summer provides the most wonderful backdrop for your event. 

Gardens are beautiful summertime venues. Their bright blooming flowers and wafting sweet smells will add another dimension to your party. Instead of bringing flowers to the venue, you can bring the venue to the flowers! The Tower Hill Botanical Gardens, which is located in Boylston, Mass., is spread out on 132 acres of beautiful terrain overlooking Mount Wachusett and the Wachusett Reservoir. The Orangerie at Tower Hill is an impressive room with a high vaulted glass ceilings and a great sense of openness, truly bringing the outside in.

Museums are always great places to hold a classy summertime event. The large halls and great rooms leave a great impression upon guests. Add in fresh flowers and beautifully set tables, and you have a breathtaking space custom designed for your unique affair.

Many museums also feature outdoor space for entertaining. The Fruitlands Museum, located in Harvard, Mass., showcases amazing panoramic views of the Nashua Valley. It features 200 acres of manicured grounds and boasts beautiful sunsets all year long.

Whether you’re planning an elegant dinner, or just a fun outdoor barbeque, consider the EcoTarium in Worcester, Mass.. The EcoTarium is a Science and Nature Museum featuring both indoor and outdoor space. The entire museum, including three floors of exhibits and a planetarium, is available after regular business hours. The EcoTarium offers a wide range of ambiance, making it a great venue for just about any summer event.
