Sanctuary in Maynard is a gem! We were so lucky to find this venue, right in our town and it was perfect for our needs for our anniversary/wedding celebration! It’s a beautiful co...
nverted church/music venue in one with a fabulous bar. The staff is amazing and especially attentive to make it a night to never forget. I would highly recommend them.
We can't say enough good things about Sanctuary to describe how beautiful their space is and how wonderful they made our day! We held our ceremony and reception there in June 2022 ...
with about 100 guests. The space is gorgeous. Its updated to a modern style, but maintains the original (non-religious) stained glass windows. The bar and stage bring the space to the next level. All of our guests raved about how it felt like they were at a concert and couldn't stop dancing! The house lighting options helped set and change the mood throughout the evening. The staff were so helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process and during the event itself. They made sure all the small details were in place and skillfully transitioned the room from ceremony to reception in about 20 minutes. I'd recommend Sanctuary to anyone that wants to have their special day in a unique, historic venue or that is planning to have a live band.
