Boston.
“Others say that it can cost more than

Cape Cod, Mass., is a favorite option,
hosting up to 140 people where couples
are responsible for everything from
catering to the music.
Brides can realize their dreams of

Instagram-worthy site featuring a
1920s-era home with eight bedrooms,
spacious grounds covering 250 acres
of wildlife sanctuary, wildflower fields,
ponds, streams, an organic farm and a
carriage house.

weekend or more can help edit down
your search. Brides can book the whole
venue at Overbrook House.
