Our Venue


We've decided to have our wedding at Elm Bank Reservation which is run by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. It is in Wellesley, MA just steps away from my elementary school. During the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, Elm Bank was a prominent garden estate owned by the Cheney/Baltzell family. It was taken over by the Horticultural Society in 1996. It houses a Horticulture Learning center, four show gardens, a children's garden and America's Test Garden which helps develop new seeds.


Our wedding ceremony will take place, weather permitting, in front of the main house (above) in the Italianate Gardens. After the ceremony everyone will be free to stroll the gardens while munching on hors d'ouevres and sipping coolers. Then we will all move into the Hunnewell Building (right) which is a converted Carriage House. It is fully air-conditioned and we will have the rest of the event there!
