The Dane Estate at Pine Manor College was best described to me (by the wedding coordinator) as the house from Clue. It is truly an original house right down the 19th century light switches. There is amazing, intricate woodwork all through out the house and especially in the ballroom. The outside of the house could use a little bit of touch up but it does have character. The ballroom will only hold 100 with a dance floor but larger parties can opt for a tented wedding on the lawn. When we visited the wedding coordinator (Michelle) was super nice and showed us the cool secret doors in the walls of the ballroom that lead to the bathrooms and kitchen. The packages that she showed included a ton of stuff and we well priced. The downsides and some of the reasons why we chose to go somewhere else was that we wanted 100 guests and felt it would be a little tight, the bathrooms were not very appealing (it's weird, I know but I have a thing about the bathrooms being pristine) and things were just a little too run down for my taste. The things I didn't like were nit-picky and the real reason we probably didn't choose The Dane Estate was because we had already visited our future venue and were in love. I would recommend this venue to any brides who are looking for the estate feel and have small wedding parties. It is a great deal and a charming venue. Details below!
