I have weddings on the brain having just been to a great one this past weekend. So it got me to remembering my own wedding which was held here. We took a walk around the property this weekend and were reminded of what a great spot this is. This is a beautiful venue with a pretty not to mention historic ballroom which leads to a lovely outdoor garden. The good news for us, which I know might not be for everyone, is that you are just renting the space and so you can hire whomever you would like to create the right kind of celebration for you. This means you hire your own caterer. There is a full kitchen on the premises for the caterers to use. With this kind of arrangement we could make sure the food was exactly what we wanted it to be, made by chefs we trusted. This also means you are not limited to the choices other venues hold you to. You're not subject to the pricing whims of venues that charge exorbitantly for their bar service. The caterer we chose provided bar service (mixer, sodas, etc.) and the bartenders but we supplied all the alcohol. Buying your own alcohol is a not only a money saver but allows you to personally select the kinds of wines and other liquors that you want to see served. My personal pet peeve is being invited to an event like a wedding and having to contend with a cash bar. Remember: you are inviting guests to your celebration. They shouldn't have to pay for anything unless it's a charity benefit. It's no different in my mind than having guests to your home. Enough on the lectures. This is a great place to host your wedding or any special party in which you want a unique and interesting venue. If you are interested in an historical setting and want to really have a more open canvas of options in which to personally design the details of your event, this might be the spot for you.

I've driven by Gore Place a hundred times and I recently got a chance to finally walk the grounds!…read moreIt's located right on the Waltham/Watertown line but it has tons more land than what you can see off the bat from the street view. It's a popular venue for weddings and other functions, but you're allowed to walk around the grounds from dusk to dawn. My friend has been running here and stopping by to visit sheep and other farm animals so she showed me and our 3 other friends that area. It was so cool! This is the kind of place where you don't feel like you're in Waltham anymore. We saw lots of sheep, some chickens, and a rooster. Apparently there's tours you can go on and a gift shop you can browse in but we only went to the farm animals. :)

I worked closely with SD Events for a wedding reception in downtown Boston (I was flown in from…read moreDallas and many in the wedding were from outside of Boston). SD (specifically Ms. Sabo) handled every detail with precision and the reception flowed as though it was rehearsed. The weeks and months leading up to the event SD was quick to return emails and answer any and all questions. I DJ all over the country for clubs and private events. I have personally handled 4-500 weddings and I can say without a doubt this one was in my top 5 as far as organization and service. The end result being a collaborative TEAM effort that made my job very easy which led to the ultimate goal being achieved, a HAPPY CLIENT! KUDOS to SD! Thank you!!! ~DJ Kev

The main reasons we…read morechose this venue was for the price, location (I wanted to have the ceremony and reception at the same location) and I wanted good scenery for outside photos. Raffael's at South Shore Country Club delivered on everything! It is such a beautiful venue and the staff is fantastic! They offer an incredible value as a venue and went out of their way to provide services for us that other venues would have charged an arm and a leg for. I hear from someone new everyday how incredible the food was and how great the staff were - that is was the best wedding they have ever been to. Terese was extremely helpful throughout the planning of the event and the day itself. I really couldn't have pulled this wedding together without her! She is one of the most organized, professional and creative people I have ever had the pleasure to work with! Terese made every detail of our wedding exactly as we wanted, and she even surpassed our expectations. She is a joy to work with and very reasonable. She allows you to customize your wedding according to your budget. I can't say enough good things about her! She made our wedding ceremony so easy and stress free. Absolutely no complaints at all, they made for a smooth and successful event at a great price.
