Commander's Mansion

AWESOME!! The staff at the mansion is wonderful to work with! The place is stunning. We had our ceremony and reception there. It was perfect. Both my husband and I had our own suites in the mansion where we could get ready with our wedding party. Their philosophy is "your home for day" which it totally was. The place includes a grape arbor which was so cool. And no matter where you are there, its a beautiful spot for a picture. Our guests seemed to truly enjoy our cocktail style wedding, everyone had a good time!

We and all the guests love the place. There are plenty of rooms to use- 2 floors, plus outdoor space. It's very classic and elegant. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

The mansion held the energy and excitement for the bride and groom. Its always a pleasure to record the historic life changing event of a couple in love. The Commander's Mansion was built in 1865 and is lavishly decorated with marble fireplaces, ornately carved moldings, and a magnificent Victorian veranda. Guests are able to step back in time, weaving their way through the grand foyer, elegant, sweeping staircase, and charmingly-restored rooms.

With intricate details throughout, the mansion is a classic example of Italian Victorian architecture. Rich autumn leaves painted the trees and decorated the grounds, perfectly complimenting the bride's traditional Chinese, red wedding dress. The mansion which boasts a rectangular grape arbor, sits adjacent to the Charles River on six richly landscaped acres, providing privacy and natural beauty not commonly found so close to Boston in recent times.
