Indoor backups?
Hi all. I've noticed the boards going crazy about indoor wedding venues. I too want an outdoor wedding, but am frustrated because I'm noticing that most venue's back up rooms are dining rooms. (This seems to be plaguing some posters on BDC as well).
I don't have a huge budget, and want to do outdoor ceremony in October with a really nice indoor alternative in case of rain/snow, etc. (not in the same room as the meal) I also don't want the venue to be 2 hours away from Boston. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it.

Hi tammy,
I never looked in Boston because my wedding is in PA but have you thought about the Decordiva Musuem? I have never been there but I heard that it is beautiful there.
Hey Tammy,
Take a look at the Stevens Estate in Andover. They have tented terraces and inside rooms too. I am not sure if it is what you are looking for. It is located in Andover- about 30 to 45 minutes outside of Boston.

Sarah, I did see that venue, but it's VERY pricey. Way out of my price range. I think the Steven's Estate was too. No worries, I will find something. I will just keep looking. ;-)
HI Tammy.
I'm not familiar with the boston area. I looked on the Cape and in Rhode Island. I suggested the Squantum Association in East Providence to Octoberlove on B.com. I don't think it's that expensive and the indoor option is nice.

How about this? I was just browsing.. prices drop in October.
Good Luck!
Thanks Kelli and Sok!
I was familiar with GlenMagna. I have it on my "must see" list. I like the prices, but not sure what their back up room set up is. I hope to visit them.
And I will check out the Squantumassociation site. I really appreciate all the help! (I cannot stomach the boards anymore...the newest nightmare is some poor girl getting attacked for planning a Memorial Day weekend wedding. Poor thing.)
I feel so bad for that girl! Those people are down right cruel (and I think some of them are truly the most egocentric people I've ever come into contact with.) Octoberlove is just nuts.
Kelli,
I can't even read that stuff anymore. I read maybe page 1 & 2 before I had to leave. Besides, it's much more helpful reading all of the suggestions on this board. They are actually helpful! ;-)
OH, and I'm NOT Octoberlove, even though I'm looking for an outdoor wedding and getting married in Oct. (Just wanted to clarify...our stories are freakishly similar....LOL)
I LOVE the DeCordova Museum... I used to go all the time when I lived in W-town (especially when the grounds used to be free... they changed their format). Sarah, living in Waltham, you have to go- it's so close! It would be a beautiful place for a wedding (if one could afford the hefty fees/minimums).
I wish I had other suggestions, but I didn't look for local venues either. You'll find something! The venue is the hardest part.
Thanks Cara for saying the venue is the hardest part. I certainly feel that way. I'm sure everything else will fall into place. We're taking a breather from planning anything really right now. Just "going with the flow". We're trying to enjoy our engagement and not stress so much. So what if it rains on my wedding day....um...well...ok....LOL.
