Jordan S. Married on 04/29/2023Incredible location, INCREDIBLE team
The first moment I saw the Lyman Estate I fell in love with the location. It is perfect in every single way. It was the perfect place for our literary, Austenian wedding. But besides the immaculately preserved historical rooms and grounds, the staff is unreal. Nicole Skarbek is such a pro and put my mind completely at ease. I probably asked her about a million questions in the lead up to the event and she always answered them thoroughly and promptly. She and her team were incredible on the day of our wedding. I felt so taken care of and in such good hands. The Lyman Estate is an absolutely wonderful venue. I loved having my special day there and recommend the venue to anyone looking for a special and historic experience.-

Ana Y. Married on 12/17/2022Lyman is an incredible venue!
Lyman Estate is an incredible wedding venue for anyone looking for an affordable spot with some old New England charm and a great staff. We worked primarily with Nicole and she was a total gem -- quick to respond, knowledgeable, and flexible all along the way. We were initially unsure about the multiple-room setup and the way that might affect the flow of our reception, but the format of the house ended up being really helpful for creating different spaces guests could mingle in while still retaining a unified feel due to the big central hallway. Because it's a house, we felt like we were able to welcome guests into a really hospitable and homey (while still elegant) space. The staff were skilled at managing the event in the context of the layout -- it was amazing how they flipped the ballroom from a dining room into a dance floor and were also SO helpful in set-up and teardown. (We had a few DIY decor elements we provided ourselves, and they were helpful in boxing everything up afterwards.) A bonus -- the Estate photographs beautifully from both the inside and outside; we were also able to take some shots in the Estate greenhouses to get some blooms and color even in the dead of Massachusetts winter!! All in all, I couldn't recommend Lyman Estate enough! -

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.
Great venue ! I have performed here many times over the years and always been treated with the greatest hospitality ! Thank You ! Great Venue !
