Fabulous, reasonably priced, reliable venue!

We loved having our wedding at Lyman! Nicole was great and helped us plan a wedding that we really enjoyed. The location is very pretty, which meant minimal work on decoration, and Lyman is clearly very experienced with weddings allowing us to trust their ability to help make sure everything ran smoothly. Nicole is also very responsive and all recommended vendors very professional. We definitely recommend Lyman!

Lyman Reception June 2024

We had our wedding reception at the Lyman and it was a wonderful experience. The grounds are beautiful and full of places to take pictures and the house is such a nice place for a celebration. The staff, especially Nicole, were incredibly helpful with planning before the reception and with organizing everything on the day of the reception. We really appreciate everything Nicole did. Her support and prompt communication throughout the planning process and on the day of the reception made everything come together so well. We could not be happier with our choice to have our reception there!

The Lyman Estate is among the most charming venues in the Boston area and their event coordinators do an incredible job running things smoothly. One of the times I worked there (the bride was a direct descendent of Theodore Lyman) an unexpected squall rolled into town just before the outdoor ceremony was supposed to begin, the venue had things set up in a tent in no time and the whole event didn't miss a step. They have always done a great job taking care of clients and it's a pleasure photographing weddings there.

I recently had the pleasure of being the DJ and MC for a wedding at the Lyman Estate on July 20, 2013. The entire staff at the Lyman was fantastic to work with. The venue itself as a whole offers a variety of options for its customers from being able to have an outdoor ceremony, a cocktail hour on the patio, and dinner either inside our outside. As a DJ, I was very happy to see there was more than ample room inside for dancing and a separate area where guests could take a quick break for coffee and desert. The venue had some recent updates, most notably to the HVAC system which allows for great air conditioning meanwhile maintaining the feel of nostalgia. The building was erected in the 1700's. The venue is conveniently located near Boston and a few major highways and has ample parking. I respectfully and overwhelmingly endorese this venue.
