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.

Our ceremony and reception were held at Raffael's at South Shore Country Club. 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.

We have just returned from a Jack and Jill baby shower at the Neighborhood Club of Quincy. Having…read moreattended many showers over the years we were pretty sure about what to expect, a pleasant afternoon celebrating the coming of the new baby and parents. To our delight this event went above and beyond the usual shower celebration First, we noted the Neighborhood Club offers several spaces where a shower can be held. Our gracious event manager Christina, who had attended to every detail in the planning of the occasion, guided us to the "Living Room," a cozy and relaxed area with its own cocktail lounge and lovely décor. The Living Room, which was festively decorated by the hosting family is both comfortable and elegant. When seasonally appropriate event planners can request the stately fireplace to be lit. Guests immediately seemed to feel at home as they came into the room. The staff was very efficient in preparing the buffet brunch, including both breakfast and lunch choices, as well as accommodating guests' food needs. Our meals were delicious. We especially enjoyed the variety of choices including salads, vegetables, breakfast rolls, quiche, fresh haddock, and chicken piccata. More than a few of us returned to the buffet for seconds. As we gathered together the Neighborhood Club's welcoming setting and attentive staff made this a very memorable and happy time for family and friends to celebrate.

You would think Black Rock would want a better face to greet the beloved members/guests. Also, don't try to sell your Black Rock house without having to go through Midge Durgin. A great friend of mine negotiated the return of his membership fees ($50,000) by letting Midge represent him in the sale of their house.
