October 2024 Wedding
Nicole and Melissa are really the shining stars though, they are so efficient and on top of everything. We didn't have our own wedding coordinator, so Nicole and Melissa helped with putting signs and centerpieces out, lining up the wedding party for the ceremony, guiding us on the timeline, and probably a dozen other things behind the scenes! They're both really great people to have around you during the wedding.
Absolutely recommend!
Amazing wedding venue!
The Lyman Estate offers incredible spaces. Even if it rains, you will never run out of photo opportunities, whether in the suites upstairs, the ballroom, outdoors, or the greenhouse. It has everything you could want for your wedding day. As we got closer to the big day, I was most impressed by the service. Nicole and our catering company conducted a full walkthrough of the event with us. On the wedding day, they coordinated everything seamlessly and even packed up our decor.
Nicole goes above and beyond to ensure your day is executed flawlessly. Our guests have not stopped talking about how fantastic the Lyman Estate is!

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 !
