We cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had with our wedding at Commander’s Mansion. The service and coordination was excellent and Gina went above and beyond for us. Our day was perfect and beautiful. Could not recommend more.

Gina, Tammy and the entire team at the Commander's Mansion made our wedding truly exceptional. From their warm, friendly approach to planning to their candid, open communication throughout the process, we never felt out of touch or confused about when and where things needed to happen. They made us — and made all of our guests, too — feel cared for, heard and valued. We almost want to get married again if it means we get to plan another event with Gina and Tammy — they are simply that good. A beautiful venue with wonderful space, ample parking and incredible memories.

I truly cannot say enough good things about the Commander's Mansion. Thank goodness we found it! The venue is in a convenient location in the Boston area and we adored having everything - our hotel, rehearsal dinner restaurant, and after party bar - all within close walking distance, though the venue itself feels so tucked away and private. The mansion itself is beautiful, but we fell in love with the lush green of the grape arbor. The tent is also beautiful and I'd highly recommend adding the bistro lighting, which we loved. While at first we thought Commander's might be a slightly higher price point than other nearby venues we looked at, once we began getting quotes for tents elsewhere, we realized that the fact that you don't have to arrange and pay for a tent yourself makes Commander's both more affordable and easier logistically.

We worked primarily with Gina, who is a gem of a human being. She is warm, responsive, helpful, and sincerely cares about helping you make your day what you want it to be. I wish I could work with her every day!! She guided us through the whole wedding planning process and took care of so many details that allowed us to relax and really enjoy ourselves. We love her (and her dog Beans). Choosing this venue was the single best choice we made while planning our wedding. Thank you for everything!

We can't recommend this venue enough! My fiance and I worked with Gina and Tammy through the whole process - they were fantastic and made the whole process enjoyable. The mansion and grounds are beautiful! We had 150 guests for our October wedding. We loved that they were able to experience a different space for the ceremony (arbor), cocktail hour (inside mansion), and reception (tent). The suites were also perfect for "getting ready" photos. Our photographer had a great time finding details at the mansion for the perfect photo opportunities. Definitely check this space out!

We decided on the Commander's Mansion mainly because of how gorgeous it was, and the fact they offer a discount for Watertown residents. I worked primarily with Gina, who is an absolute gem. She answered every question I had, and on the day of my event, took such good care of me. Because I didn't have a wedding party, I didn't have anyone to help me make things run smoothly. Gina was kind, warm, organized, and ready to lend a hand however I needed her. She checked in on me, made sure I was happy with things, and did it all with a smile on her face. We absolutely adored her. The mansion itself is a beautiful setting for a wedding. Everyone kept complimenting the venue, and it made for some amazing photos. I can't believe how inexpensive it was! Even if we hadn't had the resident discount, it would have been a steal. Absolutely no regrets, and I would recommend the Commander's Mansion to anyone looking for a lovely, affordable wedding venue. They will take great care of you, and are super easy to work with.

Gina and Tammy went above and beyond for our COVID-19 compliant mini-mony. I cannot thank them enough for making our 'big' little day so beautiful! I recommend to all couples looking for a all-in-one venue to handle all the curveballs with ease

Commander's Mansion is such a beautiful venue. Our summer wedding pictures were stunning with the Commander's Mansion grounds as the backdrop. We had great communication with Gina and Tammy leading up to the wedding and all of their recommended vendors were a pleasure to work with as well! Gina and Tammy coordinated with all of the vendors to make sure everything went smoothly the day of and keep our stress levels down. I highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any other special event.

We were obsessed with the Commander’s Mansion from the minute we took our first tour. The mansion itself is gorgeous and a perfect setting for photos and cocktails. We had our reception in the tent behind the mansion, which was a perfect setting for dinner and lots of dancing!

Tammy was fantastic to work with! She was incredibly responsive and made our day feel so special and personal to us. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting for our specula day!

Very happy with my choice of venue! The Commander's Mansion was a beautiful site and the use of the grape arbor, mansion, and tent worked out perfectly. I wanted to be sure we chose a venue accessible for wheelchairs and elderly guests, and this fit the bill, especially since the tent has solid brick underfoot rather than grass. Tammy was easy to work with and made planning a breeze. The rental fee was reasonable compared to other venues in the area, and the list of catering options was extensive enough to create real competition - we had no problem finding one we liked without spending a mint. Getting liquor from Gordon's was also a steal compared to some of the quotes I received from other venues that require beverage packages. All in all I wanted flexibility to shop around for vendors instead of having everything dictated in-house by the venue (where they'll also dictate the price, and it won't come cheap!). The Commander's Mansion was perfect.

We felt so fortunate to find this hidden gem of a venue in Watertown! You have access to the entire historic home and grounds when you book your wedding here. The coordinators work with you to format your perfect day, whether you want to have an indoor or outdoor ceremony/cocktail hour, or if you want to use their beautiful tent for the reception. Our guests raved about all the natural beauty of the grounds, and the exquisite interior of the home. Keep in mind, this is just a venue. Meaning, you are responsible for hiring all outside vendors (food, music, flowers, bartenders/servers, day of coordination), which can be a lot more work than other venues, but it also allows for more flexibility. Gina and Tammy were always available by e-mail and easy to communicate with! The venue also hosts an annual wedding showcase every spring, which was super fun and is were we found many of our vendors!
