“We hosted an event at Bayside Harbor View, and it was nothing short of outstanding! The venue is absolutely beautiful with stunning views, making it the perfect setting for any occasion. The Owner was extremely professional throughout the entire process, ensuring everything went smoothly and exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail and level of service provided truly made our event a memorable experience. We will definitely be back to host another event at this amazing venue! Highly recommend!”

“We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Willowdale Estate and the staff. The property itself is one-of-a-kind. We fell in love with the allure of the mansion and the romantic courtyard / tent space in the back. Our wedding, in September 2023, went perfectly and we have the Willowdale staff and our coordinator (Jeannine) to thank for all their hard work. The Willowdale team provided all the answers to our questions throughout the planning phase. When the wedding weekend finally arrived, Jeannine did an amazing job of coordinating with every vendor, setting up all of our decor, and making the day run smoothly. She was attentive to all of our needs and alleviated any of our concerns so we were able to cherish every moment of the day. Every guest we talked to had rave reviews for the food, the tent, and the space. We would do it again in a heartbeat!”

“We had our 175-person wedding (on-site ceremony) at Olio in early November, and we could not be happier with how everything turned out. The space is STUNNING and everything came together beautifully the day of. So many guests told us how much they loved the venue/how unique it was. How much passion and attention Sarah has poured into Olio is palpable! From our first tour in July 2022 until our wedding day, everyone we interacted with at Olio was extremely professional, responsive, and kind. At no point did I feel like just another client in their lineup. Also, their transparency and modern website was a breath of fresh air after literally chasing other venues down for basic information. I planned our wedding from France, and Olio was very accommodating when I asked to visit during the brief weeks I was in MA leading up to the wedding. It was usually Jenna that was there, who was always warm and welcoming. Besides a gorgeous space and top-notch team, Olio’s location was perfect for us. Main St feels iconically New England (which our international guests appreciated), there is ample parking nearby, and we got some great pictures in the area. We spent 2 nights at the Bell Inn and had our welcome party at Granite Coast Brewery; to have everything on the same street was so convenient! Side note: if you are looking for day-of-coordination services, do yourself a favor and book with Sarah/Without a Hitch (her OG baby) - truly one of the best decisions of our entire wedding experience. I could keep ranting about how much we loved Olio and the phenomenal people behind it, but I’ll end with saying that if you want a gorgeous, transparent, responsive, flexible, unique, and genuinely people-centered venue – Olio is it!”

“i've been coming here for years every Sunday. We used to go to see the magic show. Now we go to see a lot of entertainment there we still go to the movies, but we usually go out to eat the kid tickets for some kind of event. It's not a very big place. The seats are very huge, but it is a great time.”

“1st class venue for a wedding. Just had our son's wedding there 9/10 and everything was handled perfectly. Facility is beautiful, staff is very helpful and knowledgeable, food is excellent a parking no problem. Lovely garden for outdoor service. Highly recommend!”

“Favourite indoor space! Clean, fun, with a good variety of different spaces. Great little cafe with coffee, snacks, and kid friendly lunch foods. The only place I can (somewhat) enjoy my coffee for a minute or two while keeping an eye on my twins and not worrying about them hurting themselves. (Also two for one for twins!)”

“It's a beautiful, cool old theater that gives you good vibes. I love the antique and vintage decor which adds richness to whatever event you are going there for.”

“FIT Ritual is the best!! I started going to FIT Ritual because I missed the accountability that comes with class workouts. Not only am I now held accountable, but I feel stronger than ever. The instructors are so welcoming and the environment is so positive. I love the variety of classes- there is something for everyone! I continued going to classes throughout my entire pregnancy and I owe my quick post partum recovery all to FIT Ritual. I truly felt great after delivering my baby and it’s all because of the strength I gained from these classes. The instructors kept me going on even the toughest of days and they gave me safe modifications in class. The 45 minutes fly by thanks to the incredible instructors!!”

“The Drinks on the Patio event the end of June was so enjoyable!Yasmene,Leslie and Kelly and the two bartenders made certain everyone was taken care of as they mixed and mingled.The NCC is a lovely, inviting and beautiful mansion. It's a special and spectacular setting!Mary”

“If I could give 1,000 stars I would!! Oceanview is such a beautiful venue and its staff is beyond accommodating and professional. I never had a single worry about my special day and everything came together more perfectly than I ever could have imagined. All of our guests said it was the best/most fun wedding they have ever been to. This is due to the organization of the staff and beautiful space and vendors that they offer in the full package. Highly recommend for your special day or any event. Thanks again, OV!!”

“As a Wedding Photographer and being able to see behind the scenes, the Tupper Manor has it all! Onsite accommodations, bridal suite, a place for the groomsmen to get ready, beautiful grounds with access to the beach and more. There are amazing photo opportunities and stunning backdrops inside and out. The planner was wonderful to work with, the staff was professional and organized. I love shooting at the Tupper Manor and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a classic and traditional wedding vibe.”

“Very welcoming atmosphere...clean environment...mature crowd...very NICE blend of business and relaxation....HIGHLY recommended for everyone's social calendar”

“We had a great party celebrating our daughter's 2nd birthday at Boston Playground! The booking process online was easy and simple. They were open on a Monday holiday. We had a group of 40+. For large groups, I would recommend adding the additional hour so guests can have more time on the playground.Here are the pros and cons:Pros:-The venue was very clean-The venue accommodated our large group-Tables, chair/bench and fridge was provided-They allowed the freedom to decorate freely- All kids age group 3-10 enjoyed themselves- It was private to just our groupCons:-The venue was very cold, although we asked many times to have the thermostat increased- the party room was on the smaller side, kids were able to sit at the tables but adults stood and overflowed into the hallway- There was no host so you have to manage your own time and keep track of your 2 hours- The pizza shop recommended for catering was not a great experience. Guests mentioned the pizza did not taste good. I would suggest ordering from your preferred pizza shop (we wish we did).Overall it was a good experience and we would recommend to others looking for an indoor playground for a kid's birthday party.”

“My 4-year-old son and I had such a great time here! The environment is really colorful and unique, and the women at the counter were super welcoming and helpful. There are bins to store shopping bags/winter coats while you play (very convenient) and the place felt clean and safe. This was about a 40-minute drive for us, and it was totally worth it.”

“Not a bad place to have a get together on a budget! Very accommodating, could use a little more dusting and cleaning but for 400$ were not complaining. Drinks are very cheap and hit the spot honestly might join the club house.”

“I just got married here and it was lovely. Couldn't ask for a more accommodating manager, Don was wonderful. HIGHLY recommend it for any function you're having.”

“This venue was the second half of a wedding i attended. The vibe was great. The lighting was perfect, drinks were flowing, and the DJ was on point. I understand a lot of this is due to the wedding planning itself, but this is the type of place that allows you to have freedom when throwing an event. The Positive The dance floor was huge The bartender sure knows how to make a drink Extremely friendly staff Right on the water Separate bar for events so regulars can still come and enjoy themselves The Con One bathroom stall for all, although it didn't seem to be an issue for all of us”

“I had an amazing time at the party. The staff were friendly, served our food and clean all the tables right away. The bar was okay. The only complaint is that we could hear the music playing from downstairs to the point you could feel the floor vibrating. Overall, we had a good experience.”

“We stayed 3 nights and attended a wedding. What a lovely location. The staff went above and beyond to assist us with all our needs. This Inn is close to many restaurants and beaches with a walking path on-site. Our steak dinner was fanominal, and the cocktails were great!”

“Mixx is fantastic. The music was pumping and experience was great. We didn't get any food so I can't critique the food. The only issue we had was that we paid for a "table" for two which ended up being two bar seats. No issues with that however anytime we came back to our seats, people were sitting in them. Otherwise, bartenders, atmosphere and space was fantastic. The bartender who we met, happily took our coats and ensured that they were protected. The only gripe we have was not actually having our own spot after paying to secure one but other than that, the space is clean and we genuinely enjoyed it, security was also top notch.”

“At the end of our 10-day trip visiting our daughter and son-in-law in Boston, we stayed here because of the airport shuttle and an early morning flight. The hotel seems new, or newly renovated, and the public areas were very clean and well maintained. The staff at the front desk were varying courteous and helpful, and understood the importance of the airport shuttle. We had reserved three spots on a 6:00 a.m. shuttle, and at 5:00 a.m. we got a phone call about traffic delays and problems with the shuttle. But, within minutes, the front desk had made other arrangements and we were able to get to the airport in plenty of time to check in for our flights. We were a bit disappointed by the cleanliness of our room when we found a pair of someone's old socks on the floor in the bathroom, and our bathroom had no hand soap or bar soap of any kind for the sink, and only two towels for the whole room. The breakfast offerings were fairly typical, and we were glad they began service promptly at 6:00 a.m. so we could grab a quick bite before our shuttle. The hot breakfast items included scrambled eggs, sausage links, breakfast potatoes, waffles, oatmeal, etc., and there were several cereal options, fresh fruit, and yogurt. Our only caution with the hotel is how unreasonably high priced they are, simply because of their proximity to the airport and their shuttle. We paid approximately $350 for one night in a standard two-queen room.

Rooms: Standard 2-queen rooms without a ton of extra room. We did have a convenient mini-fridge and microwave.

Food & drinks: The breakfast was decent, promptly began at 6 a.m., and included several hot items.”

“Great place amazing it's a sports players dream. And for mom and dad DUNKS.AND FOR CRIMINALS Middleton JAIL 20/25 STEPS AWAY. SO IF YOUR SPORTS Dreams GET SQUASHED, YOUR Life WILL BE A FEW STEPS AWAY”

“This was a perfect stay for a business & leisure trip. The staff were very warm & welcoming. The room I had was newly renovated & I really enjoyed having a fridge + microwave in the room. Breakfast is included and open later than most hotels. There is shopping nearby (about a 7min walk). Thank you to the front desk staff for being so friendly & helpful! Will definitely stay here again when I'm in Boston next.”

“I went to see my favorite Haitian Superstar Roody Roodboy. Great lighting, great sound. I had a blast. Stage was perfect, the decor was amazing. This is a hell of an event center!”

“We had the best experience here! Everyone from the shuttle driver to the front desk crew to the housekeepers went out of their way to be kind, friendly, helpful, and efficient. The room itself was clean, comfy, and quiet. Highly recommend!”

“I had a terrible experience at your hotel.Upon arrival the lobby had a bunch of people with no shoes on phones hanging out red flag, going to my room in the hallways it smells terrible like bad food , I opened my door and the fire alarm went off ( which I was told some kid pulled) I went down the stairs and people were hanging in stairwells went outside in the cold rain till fire fighters were done,in the meantime I was reading reviews of this hotel and a lot of them had the same experience saying it's a temporary housing shelterWhen I asked at the desks they very abruptly said everyone pays . Honestly I stay in hotels every week for work this was one of the worst experience ever !”
