After party ideas in Topsfield/ipswich/danvers?

Joanna, on August 20, 2018 at 2:50 PM Posted in Massachusetts Planning 0 7

Hi! My fiance and I are getting married at Willowdale in Topsfield MA and are brainstorming ideas for an after party (the reception ends at 11). Does anyone have suggestions? Thinking a local bar or pub...but would love some guidance!

    I’d suggest Salem, a bit longer drive but things are open much later than those areas and lots of options!

    AH! Willowdale was my dream venue, but way out of my budget. I ended up down the street at The Commons 1854.

    I would suggest Breakaway in Danvers (it's possible they might have live music if you're getting married on a Friday or Saturday). I would also join the "North Shore Eats" page on FB and ask there. You'll get a lot of feedback for the best bar "after party" - I think your request is too location specific to be able to get a good answer here on WW.

    Good luck and Congratulations!

    I agree with the North Shore Eats Facebook. They are very helpful. Also it depends on how far everyone is willing to drive around the North Shore.

    I don’t have any specific recommendations, but just a suggestion that if you have guests staying at a hotel, I think a lot of guests will preference proximity & convenience over “cool spot” — we’re doing ours at the bar that abuts the hotel parking lot, after just making sure it wasn’t shady.

    I’m getting married at Willowdale in March 2019. Please share what you end up doing because I was thinking of doing the same thing. I was just going to try to find a bar/restaurant that is open late near the hotel in Peabody/Danvers line but would love to know what you end up doing.
