The Connors Center was the perfect venue for us to have not only a spectacular wedding day, but a truly special wedding weekend. The lodging that The Connors Center provides is affordable and comfortable, making it one of the deciding factors for us to book our wedding there, especially because a vast majority of our guests were traveling from out of state. We opted for a predominantly indoor event, and the beautiful reception space and parlors really come to life with decorations and guests. We were able to take pictures all around the venue's wonderful outdoor spaces as well, and the newly renovated patio spaces were amazing for letting our guests spread out and get fresh air. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the staff at The Connors Center is a joy to work with. They are responsive, incredibly friendly, and knowledgeable. Jean in particular served as our primary point of contact, and she was essential in making the entire event run smoothly and putting us, an admittedly anxious couple, completely at ease throughout the whole weekend. Their recommended vendors were clearly chosen with care and consideration as well, as we had phenomenal experiences with all of the vendors we chose from their list. Whether you are two alumni of Boston College or have no affiliation to it at all, we highly recommend having your wedding at The Connors Center.

So happy with our decision to have our August 2024 wedding at the Connors Center. The venue is stunning and unique, and their team (especially Jean and Susan) is fantastic. We had our entire wedding weekend on-site, from the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony and reception. It was so nice to stay there for the weekend with our families and many of our guests. We are still receiving compliments from guests!

We just had our wedding at the Connors Center on Sept 1, 2024. The whole experience, from start to finish, was amazing. The Connors Center is a beautiful and unique, timeless venue, and Jean and the Connors Center team/staff was absolutely incredible. From the start of planning, Jean was responsive, helpful, knowledgable, and professional. As soon as we visited the gorgeous property, we knew it was a special place perfect for our wedding. The grounds are gorgeous - well-manicured and maintained, in a way that really highlights the natural beauty of the property. Throughout the planning process, we knew we could rely on Jean to explain everything, answer any questions, and connect us with amazing vendors. All the vendors recommended by Connors were incredible and made our wedding amazing. When the day finally came, the Connors Center staff blew us away. They know what they are doing and have so much experience that made the day go so smoothly, and took any stress off our minds so us and our families could enjoy our special day. Our families and loved ones enjoyed staying on-site after the wedding and everyone raved about how beautiful the venue/grounds/buildings were and how kind and helpful the staff was. Connors will always be a special place for us after we had the most incredible wedding weekend and we have already been recommending the venue to anyone we can! Thank you Jean and Connors!!!

We rented the Connors Center for the weekend and were able to have a welcome party, reception and breakfast. It was so easy to work with Jean and Susan. They let us setup our own party on Friday evening using indoor and outdoor spaces. The dining room staff did an amazing job with breakfast including accommodating gluten and dairy allergies. With both families from out of town, it was so fun and easy to have everyone stay right at the venue. We would highly recommend the Connors Center for a wedding.

She answered my questions constantly in such a timely manner. She went above and beyond to make sure I got answers to even the tiny details. She was very knowledgeable about the wedding industry so she made the process much easier. I highly recommend you go visit the Connor’s Center because it’s even more beautiful in person!

The Connors Center was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we toured the site over a year out, we knew that this was the place we needed to celebrate our wedding with our friends and family. Going into our planning we knew that we didn't want to work with a traditional "wedding factory," and the Connors Center was far from that! Jean, and her team, made all the planning and preparations for the months leading up to the event as smooth as possible. They were always available to answer questions whenever something popped into our heads, graciously offered us many opportunities to come into the venue to walk through and see things, and from the moment we signed on gave us an extremely detailed packet of information we referenced for months to come. The venue itself was the perfect spot for a beautiful outdoor ceremony, but with plenty of beautiful spaces indoors for a weather back up plan if needed. The grounds were so well kept, the stone arches made for beautiful photographs, and the newly remodeled patio with fireplace made for an excellent spot to hang out during the reception. The greatest benefit of the Center was being able to host all of our guests overnight and keep the entire evening in one location. The rooms were all comfortable, and the after party space extremely spacious and a great way to wind down after the ceremony/reception. The breakfast that the Connors Center provided the following morning was excellent. Everything about our experience at the Connors Center exceeded our expectations and every one of our guests felt how special this venue was.

Susan, Tammy, Chris and Jean worked their magic to make our daughter's June 2024 wedding dream a reality. Our daughter and her BC alum groom had the best outdoor wedding weekend at the Connors Center. The comprehensive website is the second most valuable resource the Connors Center has - next to Jean Drum. Their online recommended vendor list made it possible line up a stellar team of talented professionals who are excellent communicators and knowledgeable of the ins and outs of the venue. Jean's attention to detail and professional/attentive manner allowed us to relax and enjoy the moments of the weekend on-site events - Welcome Party, Wedding Day Brunch Buffet and Wedding Ceremony and Reception.

The Connor’s Center left a lasting impression on us from first glance. The sheer beauty of the architecture, the stonework, the preservation of the character of the estate all the way down to the drive up to the front door. The Connor’s Center was one of my most loved portions of our wedding. It provided us with such a stunning backdrop for our perfect day. Not only was it beautiful, but also checked off numerous boxes for us in our wedding planning. The venue allowed us to celebrate the whole weekend from the rehearsal dinner to the Sunday following our wedding all in one venue. Guests were able to stay on site, making it even more convenient for our guests. We were able to celebrate each event within the estate with each portion of the wedding having a unique and distinct place from the other events. We were able to have our ceremony in one area with the cocktail and reception in separate spaces. Not to mention, the ability to get ready on-site the morning of the wedding. Having everything in one spot allowed for a seamless transition in our wedding day and allowed us to not have to worry about transportation. Susan was fantastic from the start. She was professional, friendly and ensured every part of our wedding day was executed to perfection. The staff at The Connor’s Center were very responsive to our many questions and were willing to accommodate our needs. We are still hearing compliments about the beauty of our wedding venue.

Words can't express how grateful we are that we were able to have our wedding weekend at the Connors Center. I truly don't know where to begin - the staff were extremely helpful and caring from the very beginning meeting all the way through the event. From our first meeting, to our walk throughs, to the day we arrived on site and the moment we left, I always felt at ease because Jean and Susan always assured me not to worry about a thing and that they would be there the entire time to make sure everything went smoothly - and they really did. Even with rain/downpours that caused a huge pivot, they helped to make everything ran smoothly and I didn't even have to think about a thing. The best part about the Connors Center is that you can also have your guests stay on site for the night or the weekend. We did the full weekend and our guests LOVED it. They raved about the staff and hospitality that they experienced. I truly can't recommend this beautiful location enough. I highly encourage you to check them out if you are looking for a beautiful property that provides hospitable and comfortable experience. You won't regret it!

I recently got married in the spring of 2023 at The Connor’s Center and it was everything I could have possibly dreamed and more! We wanted an enchanted English garden type feel and this venue gave just that! Growing up in the town right next door from Dover, MA I never knew this place existed. It’s a hidden gem right outside of Boston but that’s what I loved about it! Not only was the venue beautiful and accommodating but Jean Drum (the venue coordinator) was SPECTACULAR. Any questions or problems that we needed solved she was right on top of. It made the whole planning process as stress free as it could possibly be and that is key when wedding planning!
From our cocktail hour on the terrace, to the reception on the stunning grounds below, the wedding was a fairytale! We had our close friends and family stay on the grounds the night of which also made life so much easier for people coming out of town. It’s a one stop venue for all your wedding needs! I can’t thank Jean enough for all she did and all the help with our vendors. I can not recommend The Connor’s Center enough! Get in before everyone starts to find out about this venue!
I wish I could go back and relive my wedding day! I’m already trying to figure out my next event at the Connor’s Center!

Truly a Magical Celebration at The Connor Center!
My husband and I recently had our dream wedding at the Connor Center, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting. The location itself was breathtaking, with its picturesque surroundings and stunning architecture providing an enchanting backdrop for our special day.
The facilities were top-notch, providing ample space for the rehearsal dinner the night before and both the ceremony and the reception.
The event coordinators were organized and professional, making the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. I had the pleasure of working closely with Jean Drum one of the events coordinator, and she was exceptional, ensuring every detail was taken care of seamlessly. From the initial planning stages to the day of the event, answered every question I had leading to the wedding. She was very attentive, accommodating, and made us feel truly valued, like family!
Overall, didn’t have any complaints for the whole weekend. Our experience at the Connor Center was nothing short of magical, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning and well-managed wedding venue.

I cannot say enough about the Connors Center as a wedding venue. As a foodservice professional my entire life I have serviced or visited most venues in New England. When it came to my own son's wedding the choice was easy. The venue is perfect as it allowed the rehearsal dinner and subsequent party, wedding ceremony, reception, after party and Sunday brunch all on their beautiful property where our guests stayed in the wonderful private rooms and had access to the entire facility for the duration of the weekend. The groomsmen actually played basketball while the bride and her bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done in the spacious bride's room. Other guests just enjoyed walking and enjoying the property and stunning views. I could gush about the venue all day in my opinion there is not a more beautiful setting in New England never mind a short ride from Boston., but I wanted to talk about the staff, Jean, Susan, Tammy and everyone involved are so professional, warm and caring no stone was left unturned. They rolled with the punches through months of planning and were there for us the entire weekend. Their calm demeanor and wedding and event knowledge allowed us to relax and enjoy the weekend they handled all of the details flawlessly and worked in conjunction with Gourmet Caterers to make it a wedding that will be talked about for years. So many guests have already said the best wedding they have ever been to. As a lifelong caterer I have been involved in thousands of weddings and was not disappointed in our choice of the Connors Center I wish we could give them more than 5 stars they deserve it!!

We cannot say enough about The Connors Center and its staff (especially Jean Drum). The venue itself is incredible and has a serious wow factor, something our guests all commented on. It was also great to have exclusive use of the venue for the entire weekend. Jean was nothing short of amazing to work with, from day one. She is extremely responsive, incredibly helpful and a truly wonderful person. Everyone there was very professional. We decided to have our rehearsal dinner (welcome reception) and farewell breakfast onsite, as well, and the staff made it so easy for us. They are a well-oiled machine. We were recently commenting about how we wish we could have another major life event so that we could have it at The Connors Center and work with Jean again. We highly recommend them in all respects. All around an amazing experience, and one we will never forget.

Our daughter’s wedding was at the Connors Center in June 2023, and it could not have been a more magnificent experience. We cannot emphasize enough our positive feelings about every aspect.
Susan and Jean are completely delightful, thorough, responsive, insightful and helpful. Working with Jean for over a year must have certainly taxed her patience, but not once did she indicate that. She was always responsive, detailed and endlessly helpful.
We rented Connors from Friday thru Sunday brunch, which created a wonderful opportunity for everyone to socialize and be together. That was a great decision, as it gave us time to be with all the people so special to us.
We of course had hoped for an outdoor ceremony, and the gardens were beautiful, but a significant storm edged its way into our plans. We were able to tent the ceremony and therefore still be outside with the reception inside. This was all flawlessly executed.
Connors was such a perfect location for us. The private estate, the rooms for our guests, the multiple rooms for cocktails, dinner, dessert, the magnificent grounds. A bonus was having access to the Hospitality suite which meant space for hanging out at all times- Friday night, all day Saturday, after party etc.. Wonderful to have that.
Everything was pristine, every single space, guest room, grounds. This is a remarkable achievement.
We had such a wonderful experience. Everything worked out so perfectly. It was a terrific decision to rent Connors for the weekend, but that was a bonus. It is a beautiful place for a wedding, working with nicest and most helpful folks imaginable.

Jean Drum (Events Manager) and The Connors Center made our wedding weekend beyond any imaginable dream! Everything was spectacular. From when we booked The Connors Center over a year ago up until the date of our wedding, the communication, ease to work with, and any other requests we had far exceed our expectations. We had so much fun that we asked Jean if we could help out at any weddings in the future!
We cannot recommend The Connors Center enough! It is a magical place and we will forever cherish our memories there.

This venue is gorgeous! We loved that it is tucked away but still close to Boston. The architecture and landscaping make for a beautiful setting and amazing photos. The bridal suite was so fun for getting ready and has great natural light for photos. The fact that our day started off rainy didn’t worry me at all because I knew we could easily move our recption inside, if needed. We also appreciated that many of our guests and family could stay there for one or two nights. Being able to gather again with our guests for brunch the morning after the wedding was one of my favorite parts. Thanks to Jean for all of your hard work, organization, and calm demeanor. We couldn't have picked a better place or asked for a better wedding weekend!

We were married at the beautiful Connors Center in May 2022 and enjoyed a memorable and special wedding weekend! The venue is stunning, both inside and out, with magical stone walls, arches and gardens. Like something out of a fairytale. We booked a wedding weekend which included use of the property from Friday evening through Sunday morning. We had many guests traveling from out of town, including internationally, so we were thrilled to find such a beautiful venue which enabled all of us to stay onsite together for the weekend. We hosted an onsite rehearsal dinner on Friday evening, breakfast on Saturday morning, our wedding on Saturday evening and a brunch on Sunday morning. An incredible amount of planning and details, but well worth it!
Both Jean and Susan were very helpful in our planning process, offering ideas on how to leverage the space for different aspects of our weekend and vendor referrals. Likewise, both Jean and Susan’s help throughout the wedding weekend was exceptional, largely acting as a day-of coordinator, so that we could enjoy everything. We have amazing memories and photographs and are very happy with having chosen the Connors Center for our special day.
Our only caveat to prospective couples is that while the ability to leverage the overnight accommodation is fantastic, there is a high likelihood of another wedding being set up before you have left the next day. While we had booked the weekend package through late Sunday morning, there were vendors and wedding party members for another wedding arriving by 8am on Sunday before our contracted time ended. While this generally all worked out okay, it made it feel a bit like a wedding factory and misaligned with our contract. In hindsight, had we known, we would have rented the property for Sunday as well allowing ourselves and our guests to fully enjoy the property the day after the wedding too.

My partner and I got married a few weeks ago at the Connors Center and it was the more flawless experience. Jean is an absolute rock star, she went above and beyond for us the entire weekend. She helped me with our first look, she was extremely accommodating and somehow managed to be everywhere all at once when we needed her. This was truly the best weekend of our lives and that is in huge part to this venue, and the staff. We got in Friday earlier than expected and stayed through Sunday late morning. The winter feel of this venue makes it the perfect winter wedding experience. Our friends and family could stay on site with us, making it an incredibly communal weekend where we got to spend a lot of time with our guests. The rooms were great, pretty and very comfortable. Our guests particularly loved the hospitality suite. Where adults could hang out and kids could play too! I can’t say enough good things about the Connors center. If you are looking for a smooth sailing weekend filled with precision, kindness and warmth, this is a must stay!

We cannot recommend The Connors Center enough! From the moment we stepped onto the impeccably landscaped property, it was immediately clear that The Connors Center would be the perfect location for an outdoor tented wedding. The event manager, Jean, was incredible to work with. Her insights from countless weddings in years prior was invaluable. You name it, she has seen it and knows what works best at the property! She was extremely communicative throughout the entire wedding planning process, quickly answered all of our questions, provided her insights and ensured that every last detail on the day of went exactly as planned.
The venue has the absolute ideal setup for an outdoor wedding. From the gorgeous outdoor garden for the ceremony, an indoor/outdoor cocktail hour in the main libraries and terraces, and a separate location for the tent, the layout kept guests entertained as they were able to explore the beautiful property throughout the event. The layout truly made for the perfect flow of events. And not only that, but all of the greenery and stone work made for some absolutely epic photos!
If you are interested in any sort of outdoor wedding venue, look no further than The Connors Center. You will certainly be glad that you did!

The Connor’s Center was the perfect location for our wedding. We had planned to look at 5-10 venues and it was the first place we looked. We knew right away it was special! We fell in love with the stone and gardens. It’s tucked away and so beautiful and close to the city. We loved that all of our guests who wanted to stay on site had the option to do that. Jean and the whole team was very helpful and communicative. We booked some of their recommended vendors which worked out very well because they knew them well and it all flowed smoothly. We got so many compliments on the venue and setting. We will definitely be back to walk the grounds to reminisce!

We fell in love with Conner’s Center the moment we stepped on the property. It is such a unique venue with everything we wanted. We worked with Jean who lives on the grounds, she was so kind, helpful and knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of planning. The inside of the mansion is so beautiful and is equally matched by the stunning gardens and stonework outside. We held a tented reception in the lower garden that was perfect. We also loved the option for guests staying the night after the wedding. This is the perfect venue!

From the beginning, we were delighted to know that Jean is the coordinator at Connor center. She was terrific and agreed to do Facetiming since we lived out of state. She was very patient with us and understood our lack of time. The venue was spectacular, precisely what we wanted, with a fantastic interior and exterior. We used different gardens for our ceremonies and had a tent outside for dinner and dancing. The staff was all very nice and cooperative. We could not ask for more. We loved the place!

My bride and I celebrated our wedding reception and the rehearsal dinner at The Connors Center in the Summer of 2021. Both events were outdoor, (one had tent / the other did not), and it all came together in a stunning, quintessential "New England Wedding". We enjoyed a cocktail hour partly indoors to make the most of the charming inside of the property as well.
As the groom, I wasn't involved as much in the planning as my wife was but even I could tell that Jean and the team at The Connors Center were working seamlessly with our various other vendors to plan and execute our events in line with my wife's vision. Our vendors all gave top marks to The Connors Center when we were planning (and now I know why). As icing on the cake, my wife and I spent our wedding night in a beautiful suite on site while many other members of the wedding party booked rooms to sleep-off the celebration on site. We all enjoyed breakfast there the following morning and it was such a nice touch to have that level of comfort at such a beautiful venue.
It was the happiest day of my life and The Connors Center played no small role in that.

When my daughter and her fiance' decided to get married in the middle of a pandemic, with a large guest list and many people traveling from out of town, I was nervous. Once they chose the Connors Center, we had an all star team with us every step of the way. Jean (and Susan and their team) worked tirelessly and with infinite patience, creating a wedding experience that brought our vision to life and exceeded all expectations. From figuring out locations for yard games to coaxing a shy flower girl, no detail was missed. Imagine if you had a favorite relative - the fun, thoughtful and extremely efficient one - who happened to have a gorgeous estate in the woods, and she offered to host a wedding weekend for your family and friends. That's what it felt like, working with the Connors Center. The mansion and grounds, with their gardens, ivy, stone arches and staircase, are totally enchanting. It was as if Frederick Law Olmsted designed the perfect fairy tale wedding venue. The chance to share this beautiful space with family and friends, from Friday's Rehearsal Dinner to Farewell Breakfast Sunday morning, was truly a gift. But as beautiful as the Connors Center is, it was working with Jean and her team that made the experience so wonderful. I have never worked with people who were so consistently caring, kind and professional. As state Covid regulations kept changing, Jean just kept making new seating charts, unflappably calm, never complaining, and always doing her best to honor our wishes. She also invited me to ask any questions, and I did! Her knowledge, experience, creativity, flexibility, (not to mention her sense of humor with my extended family) were amazing. Another advantage of working with the Connors Center is the strong relationships they have built with caterers and other vendors. The goodwill vendors have toward Jean and team extends to the wedding family. After a couple of hot and rainy summer months, July 31 arrived, sunny and 75 degrees, a picture perfect day. While I cannot give Jean credit for the weather, I know that if it had poured buckets, she would still have worked her magic. My family and I will always be grateful.

Aside from the decision to marry each other, the absolute best decision my husband and I have made was to get married at The Connors Center and work with Jean and the team! The venue is stunning, with indoor and outdoor spaces that feel like you are at home (if your home was a sprawling stone mansion with perfectly landscaped grounds and a staff attentive to every detail). We stayed in the house with our families and wedding parties, had our ceremony in one garden, our cocktail hour in the library, and our reception in the lower garden, and each place was just so magical and comfortable and easy. It was a truly seamless process, and even with all the changing requirements and restrictions due to the pandemic, we had excellent communication and support throughout. Jean is the best of the best. We couldn’t recommend the whole experience more!

As a Groom with 14 years experience, as a professional wedding photographer, I have seen hundreds of wedding venues in the Boston area, and had high expectations when selecting a venue for my own wedding. I am so grateful that we chose the Connor Center for our wedding, as it met or exceeded all of our expectations. The site administrator, Jean, was amazing. She was so flexible and easy to work with, and consistently went above and beyond to meet the needs of a high maintenance couple like ourselves. We often found that items like decorations or yard games that we brought for our event were collected and stored for us before we even thought to ask. There were many things that happened behind the scenes to help our magical day flows smoothly without our even noticing. Much of this was due to Jean and her exceptional organizing and foresight. As a wedding photographer with an eye for beautiful settings, I really appreciated all of the options that the Connor Center offered for shooting locations. The lower garden, with its grassy steps and arched cloisters offered plenty of interesting and classic looking backgrounds for wedding photos. I actually found myself wishing I was the photographer instead of the groom on several occasions. St. Cecelia’s garden, where the ceremony was originally scheduled to be, was also quite beautiful. We got several inches of rain the night before our wedding, and St. Cecelia’s was still too wet for our ceremony. But the Connor Center has a third beautiful garden area – the front Circle. With the flowers and stone wall and trees in the background, this made for a lovely ceremony location, as well as for the family formal portraits. The bride processed out the front door of the center and straight down the aisle. For families with many elderly guests, like our own, this actually worked out better, since there is limited parking at the handicap entrance to St. Cecelia’s garden, but plenty of parking close to the front Circle.
One of the most enticing qualities about the Connor Center for us, was the ability to rent the entire site for the weekend. With enough rooms for all of our out-of-town guests, it made gatherings above and beyond the ceremony and reception so much easier to coordinate. One of the things that I heard time and time again as a wedding photographer, was how quickly the day went by for my clients, and how the bride and groom didn’t get to spend enough time with their closest out-of-town guests. My wife and I did not want our wedding to be over in the blink of an eye. Renting the Connor Center for the weekend was the perfect solution. Their hospitality suite on the lower level was the perfect space for our Friday night after-party, at which the groom and his other musical friends gathered to play live music, while the other overnight guests socialized and sipped wine and ate snacks. This informal party after the rehearsal dinner really helped make the weekend feel complete, and gave us the chance we needed to socialize at a relaxed pace with our closest friends and family.
Between the beautiful venue with lots of options for photography and ceremony locations, the outstanding service of the site administrator and staff, and the option to rent the site exclusively for the entire weekend, the Connor Center was absolutely perfect for our wedding weekend. We would recommend it highly to any prospective bride and groom.

We are so grateful to the whole team at Connors for making our wedding weekend perfect. Despite the changing Covid rules, and the uncertainty of it all, they were willing to accommodate all our needs. We loved getting to work with them to bring our dream to life, and we appreciate their help in creating unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime. We cannot recommend a more beautiful wedding venue for any wedding related events, and we cannot wait to go back and visit one day.

The Connors Center was perfect for our June wedding! We toured 6 venues before seeing this one and as soon as we pulled into the long drive of gorgeous trees and scenery we knew this was the spot for us. The inside and outside views are breathtaking and you have access to so many different locations on the property throughout the wedding (great for pictures!) Our guests still tell us how stunning the venue was and how nice it was to spread out into different rooms. It was also very nice to be able to have the ceremony, reception, and guest rooms all on site. There is so much character in the venue that makes it unique and unlike any other. Jean was so helpful, realistic, and definitely made the wedding more relaxing. Caitlyn was also fantastic- we showed up to the rehearsal prepared to decorate and she took care of all of the decorations and made every detail perfect! The weekend at The Connors Center was beautiful and stress free thanks to everyone who works there. We would recommend this venue to anyone!

I am still in awe at how perfect my wedding was this past Saturday! From the moment we reached out to schedule a visit to packing up all of the wedding details, it was such a wonderful experience. The property is absolutely breathtaking, while also making you feel at home (we booked the entire weekend from Rehearsal dinner through Sunday brunch). What really made our experience so SO wonderful though was Jean. She was a friendly, supportive voice during our planning and always was happy to help guide me whenever I had a question or concern. Throughout our entire wedding weekend, Jean was there every step of the way and boy did it show! My vision completely came to life under Jean's direction. It killed me to not be present during set up of our reception and details...but I needed not to stress...Jean totally crushed it. Even our wedding party, family and guests commended her on her execution, heart warming nature and just how exquisite the entire event was from start to finish. Words are not enough to say just how grateful I am for everything. Thank you Jean, Susan and everyone else at The Connors Center! You truly made our dreams come true.

We are grateful to the whole team at the Center for making our daughter's wedding perfect.
We knew when we first looked at the house and gardens it was just what they were looking for, but we had no idea at the time
of the dream team that was behind the scenes. Their flexibility in the face of all the challenges brought on by the rain was nothing
short of amazing. Despite the delays and downpours, our guests were completely taken care of and completely unaware of all the
weather drama going on outside.
And the biggest trophy goes to Jean for searching the dumpster for a card with cash that was accidentally thrown out. This
meant a lot to the guest and us!
It was a joyful celebration of their wedding and we are filled with gratitude to the team for making it so.

My wedding day in July could not have went any smoother! As someone that coordinates conferences for a living, I expected there to be a few hiccups along the way some where that I would catch or notice (I was wrong!). Jean, Susan and the team has everything down to a science and impressed us and our guests so much. Not only were they fantastic coordinators, but they were also really fun to chat with and our families felt so welcomed. The venue is stunning and so well groomed, - we felt like we got married at a castle. My mom and I enjoyed a nice walk around the grounds before the wedding and it was so relaxing.
Jean connects so well with the vendors and many of them mentioned how much they enjoy working with her. It put us at ease from the first meeting with Jean right through the day of the wedding. We couldn't recommend a more high class and beautiful wedding venue to feel so proud of being married at. We cannot wait to go back and visit one day.

Our wedding at the Connors Center was nothing short of a grand slam. We had (like many other couples) searched high and low for the perfect wedding spot. As soon as we took one step on the property we knew right away that this was the spot. From the gorgeous gardens, to the stone architecture, the Connors Center gave guests a feeling that they were in an English castle rather than the woods of Dover, MA.
Jean and her staff were nothing but the best from the very start all the way through the process until the very end. They made sure to provide us with quotes from vendors, answer questions at any time we called, and made sure they cater to your specific theme and details to make it all come together magically.
Overall, I would recommend this place and team to anyone looking for a 5 star wedding, and cannot wait to go back and celebrate some of our anniversaries here down the line!

The Connors Center was a great choice for a venue- it is absolutely stunning, our guests could not stop gasping over the views and how beautiful the set up of each space in the venue truly is. In terms of planning, Jean and Susan really work on every detail with you and create a seamless event and I was able to completely relax during my reception and not sweat anything. Jean is a fantastic day-of coordinator for the venue and oversees everything including letting you bring your decor days earlier as well as overnight bags if you plan to stay over, she will do set up and take down and you can store your decor there overnight. It was a huge hit for guests that they could stay there the night of- and in terms of our
Vendors, they loved working with Jean and the Connors Center which made our job a lot easier. If you’re looking for a serene and peaceful venue have a hands-on coordinator who is there through every small detail the day of,where you have the best of both worlds and all the options-a venue that can support events indoors while also allowing space for you to have outdoor space for photos, the event itself, or merely part of the event- like we did just cocktail hour for example- than this is the venue for you!

We were so lucky to have found the Connors Center for our June, 2019 wedding! Jean, Susan, Kaitlyn, and Jess were absolutely amazing to work with. They were kind and caring, and clearly just wanted us to enjoy our special day. Jean wears many hats at the Connors Center; she was not always able to respond to emails ASAP, but I never worried that she would not respond. When she did, she was always calm, reassuring, and so informative, which was particularly helpful for a Type A bride who was perpetually running on far too little sleep. Every single person we interacted with at the Connors Center was friendly and made us feel like we were their number one priority, which was pretty impressive given that they have weddings there every weekend!
Getting married at the Connors Center enabled us to have our ideal wedding weekend - our last big "hurrah." Most of our friends who are scattered all over the country with little children, which makes traveling hard. We were able to hold our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and Sunday brunch on site, and there were enough rooms for all of our out-of-state guests to stay on site as well. This fostered an incredibly fun, festive, and home-y vibe. While I was getting ready the morning of the wedding, it was so fun to be able to peek out the window and see friends hanging out together while their kids all played together in the back yard.
Every single one of our guests commented on how gorgeous the Connors Center is. Through the course of 9 months of wedding planning, we were fortunate to see the center during all four seasons, and we honestly could not have gone wrong with a single one of them; the place is always beautiful and magical. From the beautiful stonework to the perfectly landscaped grounds to the rich mahogany wood-work inside, there is truly no part of the center that is not pretty. And when you drive up to the grounds, you get to drive through a tree-lined road that is surreal and promises beautiful things ahead. All of our pictures are gorgeous, and our memories are even better.
Thank you so much to Jean, Susan, and the rest of the crew - our wedding was absolutely perfect because of all the hard work that you did!

What a beautiful wedding venue! I searched high and low before finding this gem. It is close to Boston, but provides a secluded garden feel for outdoor ceremonies, and the mansion was beautiful and elegant for cocktail hour! It is great having the whole venue to yourself. The staff there are wonderful and easy to work with. The planner even went above and beyond by retrieving a wedding card from the trash that was mistakenly thrown away! We had a great time at our wedding, thanks to the Connors Center.

We had our wedding at May 26 at The Connors Center. At the first time visiting this place I felt in love with this venue. I was there with my photographer and he also liked the place a lot. It has different rooms which all are very beautiful and bright. The bride 's room was spacious and enough light to have your hair and make up done. It has couple gardens which are so beautiful if you plan to have ceremony or reception outside. We had ceremony outside, Cocktail hour in and out and reception was is main Parlor room which was really good for the number of our guests. The staff, Jean and Susan specially, that we were is touch most of the time, were so nice, friendly, helpful and flexible. I could easily say, I never heard NO on any of our requests. The stone stares and arches made a great place to have a lot photoshoots. All of our guests were really fell in love with this venue. I am so happy that we had our wedding there. Thanks Jean and Susan!

Words are insufficient to express how wonderful it was to work with The Connors Center staff during my daughter's wedding planning and on her wedding day. The staff is not simply professional, attentive, and great at their jobs; they are kind, endlessly available to answer questions, infinitely patient, and full of helpful ideas and recommendations. They are partners in the planning process who care about the result, and are willing to go the extra million miles to make a special occasion truly memorable. We are so glad that we selected this venue and would recommend it to anyone for important events in their lives.

The Connors Center is such a special venue and we feel so lucky to have been able to get married there. Not only is every single inch of the grounds and every room gorgeous, Jean and Susan are incredibly accommodating and worked so hard to make sure our wedding went smoothly. This venue is also so special because you can have your ceremony, reception, and after party all in the same beautiful mansion, and even have guests book rooms onsite to stay the night and brunch with you the next morning. We can't imagine having had our wedding any other way, and know this is such a rare privilege afforded to us by the Connors Center. If you love greenery, stone walls and regally furnished dark wood rooms, you *definitely* will love this venue!

My husband and I got married at the Connors Center on June 9, 2018 and it was the best decision we could have made! From day one of meeting Jean, Susan, and the team we knew we wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. They helped us every step of the way and were in constant communication throughout the whole process. We ended up going with the weekend package so our friends and relatives from out of town could arrive on Friday and be able to just relax and enjoy the weekend away. The team was great in helping us get the décor and flowers set up in the parlors and outside Friday night and Saturday before the guests arrived. The venue is absolutely beautiful, so even though our ceremony was in the early evening, everyone said they enjoyed just walking around and taking in the beautiful grounds during the day. We had the rehearsal dinner on site Friday night with catered BBQ which was a lot of fun, and since everyone was staying there we felt great knowing they would be safe and could have a good time! The day of the wedding went off without a hitch, and a lot of that was due to the incredible staff at the Connors Center, making sure all of the vendors were coordinated and that my husband and I had everything we needed. We received an incredibly personal experience and would not change anything about our wedding weekend! We are so happy we decided on the Connors Center!

I got married on June 30th, 2018 at the Connor's Center. I could not have dreamed of a better venue for the wedding. Jean Drum of the Connor's Center was also an answered prayer! She took care of us from day one of planning and throughout the big day in such a calm and loving demeanor. The venue housed our out of town relatives from Texas to Ecuador which was unbelievable. We had the house for the weekend which meant that anyone you ran into in the hallways--was close family or friends! The reception was outdoors in the gorgeous garden off the side of the center and a delightful reception was enjoyed indoors in the air conditioning :). Tons of comfortable seating during dance hour to give guests rest from the dance floor or a quiet place to sit and chat if dancing wasn't your thing. The front yard held numerous yard games (frizbee, football, etc) for a little get away for kids and adults alike. Tons of parking made it easy for locals to drive up. We even had brunch served by the Connor's Center on both Sat and Sun morning for our guests! Talk about service. The Connor's Center felt like our own home for the weekend. Can't say enough about it and the service of the caring, kind staff. They will make your dreams come true!

The best wedding decision I made (aside from marrying my husband!) was to get married at the Connors Center. My wedding was on June 10 and I HAD to write a review as soon as possible because I am still smiling ear to ear about how wonderful everything was. The venue is absolutely stunning and my guests were in awe - pictures just don't do it justice. You need to visit to get a sense of just how incredible it is! There are countless beautiful places to take photos and the stone, ivy, and numerous gardens makes the place look straight out of a fairy tale. One thing we loved about the venue was that we could completely customize everything about the wedding - from the caterer to the tent and everything in between. (Although if you're the type who prefers not to make those decisions, they can make that part easy. We just happen to be very type A!) We had a lobster bake rehearsal dinner in the pavilion- complete with lawn games- and loved that our guests could stay at the venue to participate in all the festivities, from the rehearsal to getting ready in the Sun Parlor (plenty of space for 12 of us to get hair/makeup done), to the actual wedding, after-party in the hospitality suite, and brunch in their dining room the next day. The ceremony took place in St. Cecilia's Garden, with cocktail hour indoor/outdoor, followed by a tented reception. The staff at the Connors Center were wonderfully attentive, patient, and tremendously helpful every step of the way with recommendations, planning, running the rehearsal, and ensuring everything went smoothly on the actual wedding day. We considered hiring a day-of coordinator but didn't end up needing to because Susan and Jean went above and beyond. They could not have been more wonderful to us, and we remain forever thankful in their help attaining our dream wedding!!! Lastly, as nostalgic BC alum, it was extra special knowing that our venue was part of our alma mater. You won't regret having your wedding at the Connors Center.

Classy. Elegant. Enchanting. Special.
The Connors Center is more than even those words can adequately describe.
We feel so happy and lucky to have been able to become husband and wife in this place.
Jean Drum and her team made our vision for what we wanted for our wedding day come true. From our first meeting with Jean, we knew that we would be well taken care of because of her attention to detail, patience, calm demeanor, and supportive nature. She was always available to reassure us, offer excellent vendor suggestions, and answer our many questions. We are so grateful for her and our wedding would not have been possible in the manner we wanted it to be without her.
We wed in St. Ignatius Chapel in the presence of our immediate families (15 people total). The space is so open, clean, and fresh that the only decoration needed was a tall floral piece to go in front of the altar. The floor to ceiling window behind the altar adds perfect light and natural beauty which flooded the space, even on a rainy day. The grounds offer so many places for amazing photos to be taken and we utilized all of them! We took "first look" photos at the Garden of St. Cecilia, family photos in the arches, and used the Main Parlor for dinner. The architecture and stonework offers the perfect backdrop for incredibly artistic and beautiful photos. It's a photographer's dream! The female members of the wedding got ready in the bridal suite, which was comfortable and spacious. The male members of the wedding used the game room and loved watching sports and playing with the games. The Main Parlor with the hidden book case, tall ceilings, wooden wainscoting was such an elegant place to have a formal meal. We did not have a traditional reception, as we opted to spoil our immediate families with a five course meal with wine pairings instead. But we know that if we had chosen to have a reception that we would have lots of options for where it could be held both outdoors and indoors, and the Connors Center would make sure that it would be classy and luxurious. After the wedding guests departed, we sat as husband and wife by the fireplace to soak in the entire perfect day. The Connors Center took care of us and we are so grateful for them for allowing us to start our new lives as Mr. & Mrs. in this very special place. Thank you, Jean! Thank you, BC!

A truly stunning venue, with so many beautiful locations that you'll have all to yourself, this is a well kept secret in the Boston-area wedding scene. We had our entire wedding weekend at the venue (Friday-Sunday) and used a different location for each event (rehearsal dinner out by the pavilion, lawn games in the front circle, ceremony in St. Cecilia's Garden, cocktail hour in the parlors, reception in the Lower Garden, after party in the hospitality suite, and Sunday brunch in the dining room). We loved the privacy and quiet surroundings of The Connors Center, plus the fact that all of our guests could stay overnight in the lovely guest rooms (and our wedding was a good size). The staff was lovely and very helpful and organized, especially the staff that lives on-site at The Center. The only hiccup was that there was a day camp that left very large bags of equipment on the pavilion lawn so it looked quite odd around our lawn games for Friday rehearsal dinner, but the staff was more than willing to move the lawn games for Saturday to a different location on the property last minute.

The Connors Center is an amazing facility with great staff.
The grounds are beautiful as are the indoor spaces. The outside gardens and stonework on the building are absolutely gorgeous for pictures and spending time with people outside. It rained on our wedding day so we were very lucky to have the indoor space as a back up.
The staff at the Connors Center were so easy to work with. They all played a huge part in making sure everything was just right.
I loved having my wedding at the Connors Center!
