Codman Estate Carriage House and Gardens

A celebration at the Codman Estate Carriage House is a wonderful way to commemorate a wedding, corporate gathering, or other special occasion. The Codman Estate, nestled in an expansive landscape of gardens, lawns, and meadows, provides a unique country setting just twenty miles from downtown Boston while remaining close to the city. The Codman Estate Carriage House has been completely renovated and is now available for private parties and other events. This venue, with its rich wood paneling and rustic ambiance, offers a casually elegant and reasonably priced option for your wedding reception. The Italian Garden is a particular highlight of the landscape. Featuring a marble-columned pergola covered in flowering vines, this surprisingly formal secret garden is an ideal location for wedding ceremonies and receptions. In the garden, guests can relax by a reflecting pool that is surrounded by flowers, classical urns, and statues. A beautiful but less formal setting for photographs can be found in an English country garden, which was originally designed and maintained by Dorothy Codman. Your rental includes the use of the Carriage House, gardens, and grounds, as well as the freedom to create your own event from the ground up. Tables should be decorated with fresh flowers and fine linens for a formal wedding. For a summer barbecue, use checkered tablecloths and a volleyball net to create a festive atmosphere. In the grand Meadow, you can entertain your guests with lawn games, cocktails, and passed hors d'oeuvres. Dance until the wee hours of the morning. In addition to hosting corporate meetings and business events such as parties, client entertainment, wine tastings, and awards dinners, the Codman Estate also serves as a beautiful and relaxing setting for weddings. Having a clambake or barbecue on the lawn while playing games or listening to music is a popular warm-weather activity. Our experienced events staff will assist you in selecting a caterer and will be available to you throughout the entire planning process.
