MA Wedding Venue: The Mansion at Turner Hill

The Mansion at Turner Hill is a very cool mansion on a golf resort. We visited this venue and my fiance loved it. It was on our top five list because of the cool architecture and period decorations. The ceremony space is really gorgeous too. There is a stone arbor covered in vines which is in front of permanent garden benches. The bridal and groom suites are also very cool. My fiance loved the grooms room which is an old smoking library, all dark wood and big furniture. The downside for us was that to have all 100 guests in one room with a dance floor would have been a bit cramped. We also wanted a Saturday wedding which would have put the rental fee at $8,000. This was a little expensive which ultimately knocked it down on the list. I think this venue would work for brides who want an estate feel and have small to moderate sized parties for an indoor reception. Larger parties would work with the tent. Details below!
