An Outdoor Boston Wedding Venue:

The first outdoor wedding held at Friendly Crossways was in July 1947, the same year that Friendly Crossways was converted from a working farm to a rustic retreat center. In 1997, that couple celebrated their 50th anniversary with a big family reunion back here at Friendly Crossways. It turns out we've been supporting "green" and "do-it-yourself" weddings for over 60 years!
Our facility is wonderfully suited for the couple looking for a relaxed, country atmosphere with plenty of space for family members to reunite and for guests to meet, mingle and make your wedding ceremony and celebration a memorable one. Our wedding facilities are kid friendly and wheel-chair accessible.
Here are the things you need to know about holding a wedding ceremony and/or reception here to make things easier for bride, groom, (and bride's mom!).
You can reserve exclusive use of our 25-acre property for up to 48 hours for a flat fee. This gives you access to the grounds with lots of options for unique, romantic wedding settings including a wooded glade, under a maple tree, or on a lovely green lawn, bordered by stone walls and perennial flower beds.
We can accommodate up to 65 guests overnight, a maximum of 72 guests can be served indoors for a sitdown meal, and up to 150 guests outdoors. You also get to use the dining hall, meeting space, and the kitchen for non-reception meals. The base fee also includes accommodations for up to 35 people. More guests can be accommodated for an additional charge. Here's the link to the wedding weekend registration form.
And after your wonderful reception, wind down around our fabulous fire pit.
For outdoor weddings and receptions, a beautiful, romantic tent (plus table, chairs and dance floor) can be provided for an additional cost. Two companies that we work with are excellent at meeting these needs: Chris at Special Events of New England and the folks at Sunshine Tent and Party.

Our chef--who has won awards for her organic fruits, flowers, vegetables and honey--specializes in using organic or local produce, some of it from her own garden on the property. We can provide fresh, beautifully presented food from champagne brunches to buffets to bbqs for all eating preferences from omnivores to vegetarians to vegans.
If you prefer, your friends and family may use our commercial kitchen to prepare the reception food for you, or you may also provide your own outside caterer if you wish.
Two local award winnng florists that we recommend are Lois Frampton of 'Fabulous Flowers' and Martin Alvarez at 'Webber Florists'. Lois can be reached at fabulous.flowers@comcast.net. and you can email Martin at shout@martinalvarez.com
Local wedding photographers include Charles Kronauer and Holly Redmond and Ashley & Rich Pizzuti.
