Nick A. Sent on 10/12/2022Gina and Team — The Best In The Business
Gina, Tammy and the entire team at the Commander's Mansion made our wedding truly exceptional. From their warm, friendly approach to planning to their candid, open communication throughout the process, we never felt out of touch or confused about when and where things needed to happen. They made us — and made all of our guests, too — feel cared for, heard and valued. We almost want to get married again if it means we get to plan another event with Gina and Tammy — they are simply that good. A beautiful venue with wonderful space, ample parking and incredible memories.Commander's Mansion's reply:

I truly cannot say enough good things about the Commander's Mansion. Thank goodness we found it! The venue is in a convenient location in the Boston area and we adored having everything - our hotel, rehearsal dinner restaurant, and after party bar - all within close walking distance, though the venue itself feels so tucked away and private. The mansion itself is beautiful, but we fell in love with the lush green of the grape arbor. The tent is also beautiful and I'd highly recommend adding the bistro lighting, which we loved. While at first we thought Commander's might be a slightly higher price point than other nearby venues we looked at, once we began getting quotes for tents elsewhere, we realized that the fact that you don't have to arrange and pay for a tent yourself makes Commander's both more affordable and easier logistically.
We worked primarily with Gina, who is a gem of a human being. She is warm, responsive, helpful, and sincerely cares about helping you make your day what you want it to be. I wish I could work with her every day!! She guided us through the whole wedding planning process and took care of so many details that allowed us to relax and really enjoy ourselves. We love her (and her dog Beans). Choosing this venue was the single best choice we made while planning our wedding. Thank you for everything!Commander's Mansion's reply:
Welp. Now you have us in a big ball of tears over here. It was such a pleasure working with you two! We hope you had an amazing honeymoon and hopefully see you back as guests again soon!!! -

Gina and Tammy went above and beyond for our COVID-19 compliant mini-mony. I cannot thank them enough for making our 'big' little day so beautiful! I recommend to all couples looking for a all-in-one venue to handle all the curveballs with easeCommander's Mansion's reply:
Thank you so much Ann! It was a pleasure working with you guys! Hope married life is treating you both well! :) XOXO -

We can't recommend this venue enough! My fiance and I worked with Gina and Tammy through the whole process - they were fantastic and made the whole process enjoyable. The mansion and grounds are beautiful! We had 150 guests for our October wedding. We loved that they were able to experience a different space for the ceremony (arbor), cocktail hour (inside mansion), and reception (tent). The suites were also perfect for "getting ready" photos. Our photographer had a great time finding details at the mansion for the perfect photo opportunities. Definitely check this space out!Commander's Mansion's reply:
And you two were so wonderful to work with! -

Melissa Sent on 10/08/2019A perfect wedding venue!
We were obsessed with the Commander’s Mansion from the minute we took our first tour. The mansion itself is gorgeous and a perfect setting for photos and cocktails. We had our reception in the tent behind the mansion, which was a perfect setting for dinner and lots of dancing!
Tammy was fantastic to work with! She was incredibly responsive and made our day feel so special and personal to us. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting for our specula day!Commander's Mansion's reply:
Thank you Melissa for taking the time to review the Commander's Mansion! We appreciate your love of the mansion and your kind words. Best wishes for many joyous days ahead! -

Elizabeth R. Sent on 09/28/2019Excellent venue
Very happy with my choice of venue! The Commander's Mansion was a beautiful site and the use of the grape arbor, mansion, and tent worked out perfectly. I wanted to be sure we chose a venue accessible for wheelchairs and elderly guests, and this fit the bill, especially since the tent has solid brick underfoot rather than grass. Tammy was easy to work with and made planning a breeze. The rental fee was reasonable compared to other venues in the area, and the list of catering options was extensive enough to create real competition - we had no problem finding one we liked without spending a mint. Getting liquor from Gordon's was also a steal compared to some of the quotes I received from other venues that require beverage packages. All in all I wanted flexibility to shop around for vendors instead of having everything dictated in-house by the venue (where they'll also dictate the price, and it won't come cheap!). The Commander's Mansion was perfect.Commander's Mansion's reply:
We are so pleased that you chose us to host your big celebration! Thank you very much for the lovely and informative review. It really does make a difference to hear client feedback...both for us and for new potential clients. Best wishes! -

Laura Sent on 07/15/2019Perfect venue for garden party wedding
We felt so fortunate to find this hidden gem of a venue in Watertown! You have access to the entire historic home and grounds when you book your wedding here. The coordinators work with you to format your perfect day, whether you want to have an indoor or outdoor ceremony/cocktail hour, or if you want to use their beautiful tent for the reception. Our guests raved about all the natural beauty of the grounds, and the exquisite interior of the home. Keep in mind, this is just a venue. Meaning, you are responsible for hiring all outside vendors (food, music, flowers, bartenders/servers, day of coordination), which can be a lot more work than other venues, but it also allows for more flexibility. Gina and Tammy were always available by e-mail and easy to communicate with! The venue also hosts an annual wedding showcase every spring, which was super fun and is were we found many of our vendors!Commander's Mansion's reply:
It is so nice to hear that you had a wonderful experience working with us and that you consider the mansion to be a gem! We are so glad that you chose the house as your venue...also thanks for reminding potential clients that we don't provide everything (food, service, etc) in house. Best wishes! -
Lynn Sent on 09/29/2018Never looked at any other venues! After attending a friend's wedding at the Commander's Mansion I knew it would be an excellent choice for our big day too. The venue offers beautiful backdrops indoor and out, is formal but relaxed, and the price for a Friday daytime ceremony and reception suited our small budget nicely. I recommend attending the annual Wedding Fair in March if you can - it was an excellent way to get to know all of the caterers and other vendors. I loved that all of them had worked at the venue before and had an excellent relationship with the ladies at the Mansion. It made planning that much less stressful knowing I was in good hands. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for simple elegance and a savvy team. Great value for the Boston area!
Commander's Mansion's reply:
Lynn, it was our pleasure to host your wedding! Thank you for sharing your experience with us and our vendor friends. You are always welcome to come back, don't be a stranger! XOXO Tammy & Victoria -

User1665552 Sent on 06/17/2014This is quite possibly the best venue of all time. We had our wedding there in the beginning of June and it was so incredibly beautiful! They have a brides suite, grooms suite, you rent the house and can rent the tent as well. We had our ceremony in the garden which was magnificent. Its awesome how its set in its own little area, so the wedding feels so intimate. Aside from the venue itself, Rae and Tammy are just two incredible people. They're so responsive, helpful, and flexible. I left clothes there on my wedding day and they MAILED it to me without even thinking twice! Who else would do that?!?! They went out of their way to help us in any way they could. I cant say enough good things about the Commanders Mansion- we were so incredibly happy we chose them!
