We've been attending the annual Sheepshearing Festival at Gore the last few years and knew it was a gorgeous place to take a walk close to our home in Belmont. When we got engaged Gore was on the shortlist of potential venues we wanted. It offered everything we wanted: outdoor ceremony location (with a covered location as a backup) and indoor reception space with air conditioning. The Carriage House was renovated in the last few years and is just beautiful, and we were able to take some gorgeous photos inside the historic mansion. Linda was so personable and flexible and actually recommended both the JOP and catering company we ended up hiring. It is an amazing value as a venue because you have so many options and they have tables and chairs on-site so you don't have to rent them. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Venue - Great Experience!
Gore Place was the perfect space for our wedding – a mix of the beautiful outdoors and the brick mansion in the background. We planned our wedding from out of state and Linda was so kind and helpful along the way. She did a face time meeting with us, met us in person a couple of times, and communicated well over email. She was there on the day of the wedding and was so kind and helpful along the way. We loved getting to have food trucks pull right up to the big white tent for dinner and dessert! The bridal party got to use a room inside of the mansion for our getting ready finishing touches, some picture taking, and signing our ketubah. What an amazing venue – we’re so happy to have gotten married at Gore Place!

We wanted to find a venue that was local, easy to get to, but still had natural beauty. We instantly fell in love with the beautiful and historic grounds, the mansion and the rustic appeal of the newly renovated carriage house. I had my heart set on a fall wedding and couldn't imagine another place to do it. It was also a plus that it is very close to Boston and fit into our budget. The venue is only part of the appeal, as Marjorie, the function manager was indispensable in making sure our wedding went as planned. She is very communicative, thoughtful and easy to work with with. Our beautiful fall wedding day turned into a rainy fall day but Gore Place and Marjorie's planning lends itself to multiple options, all of which made for a beautiful wedding and fun reception. We are very grateful that we were able our special day there and would recommend it to anyone planning a wedding.
We absolutely love working at Gore Place! Not only is it a spectacular oasis near the city, but it is impeccably managed. The staff there really care about their clients and vendors, which makes our job seamless. Clients are always so happy to have booked there, and we are always happy when we have the honor of staffing their events!
Gore place is a lovely venue for weddings and special events. Between their three season tent, magnificent grounds and newly renovated carriage this venue boasts of unique charm and elegance. Marjorie is always a joy to work with she is friendly, helpful, and accommodating.
Gore Place has readily become a desirable wedding destination in the Greater Boston area. With the inclusion of the new tent for up to 200 guests and the recent renovations to the Carriage House for smaller receptions; Gore Place is a malleable and well managed facility. As a caterer who works with Gore Place frequently for weddings, we always look forward to working with their very capable staff. Marjorie, the Function Manager, is especially helpful given her wealth of knowledge in regards to the space and her vast experience in event planning. Every wedding we have catered at this venue has gone off without a hitch.
