Cyprian Keyes Golf Club is a small golf course in Bolyston, MA. I think it is better than most country clubs because the ballroom isn't a perfectly square, low ceiling, windowless room. The ballroom has nice high peaked ceilings with a lot of natural light and windows. On one side of the ballroom is the room where cocktail hour is held. It is a small room with dark wood accents and has a cool little staircase that would make for a good entrance and pictures. The ceremony is held outside overlooking the first tee and in between two rock walls. The outside area is nice but you can see into the restaurant which will be open during the reception so that might be a little awkward. The wedding packages they offer are really inclusive and I think that overall they offer a really good deal. If you get one of the better packages then you get to pick any 5 hours on the day of your wedding instead of them holding two weddings that day. Overall I would suggest this for a bride more on a budget who wants to have an inclusive package. Details below!

Wedgewood Pines Country Club is a pretty typical country club located in Stow, MA. Stow is a nice, more rural town about 40 minutes west of Boston. I didn't visit the country club so I don't know that the actual facility looks like beside what the pictures show. Some good things about the venue are that they only hold one wedding a day so you get to pick any 5 hours for your reception You can also have your ceremony outside near the new pergola or inside overlooking the fairway. They also include a lot in their packages which are reasonably priced. You have to pay a rental fee and more for an open bar but those prices weren't given in the initial packet I received. I am also unsure if there is a ceremony fee. We didn't choose this venue because we had already picked our venue and like I mentioned in my previous post, we didn't want a typical ballroom reception. I think that this would be a good venue for people who have large wedding parties and are on a budget. Details below!
