Weddings & Celebrations

One wedding per day. Your day is exclusive — the estate is yours: a historic French-style chateau, 25 acres of gardens, and a culinary team that plans the menu around you.

The MIT Endicott House is now open to the public for weddings. Nestled on 25 acres of landscaped gardens and woodlands in Dedham, Massachusetts, this historic French-style chateau offers the privacy of a country estate with the convenience of being just 30 minutes from downtown Boston.

Designed for celebrations that feel timeless, elegant, and entirely your own, the Endicott House provides indoor and outdoor spaces that flow beautifully from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception — all in one exclusive estate setting.

Ceremonies

The Glacial Bowl

From intimate vows beneath towering elms to a grand exchange of rings on the sweeping lawn — the Glacial Bowl gives your ceremony a panoramic garden backdrop.

Prefer indoors? The Living Room offers historic woodwork, warm lighting, and an elegant ambiance — a rain plan that feels just as magical as outdoors.

Cocktail hour details — stacked plates, monogrammed napkins, and hors d'oeuvres

Cocktails & receptions

From the Sunken Garden to the Terrace

After your ceremony, enjoy a seamless transition into celebration: cocktail hour in the Sunken Garden or within the mansion’s main rooms, then dinner for up to 150 guests in the dining rooms, banquet spaces, or on the Terrace.

Our approach is full-service — tables, linens, flatware, glassware, setup, service staff, and the venue’s atmosphere are all included, with seasonal menus by our culinary team.

The wedding weekend

Stay the night. Brunch in the garden.

For couples seeking a wedding weekend instead of a single day, the estate offers guest rooms on the property — perfect for the wedding party, immediate family, and overnight guests.

Wake up the next morning to coffee on the terrace and a closing brunch in the garden.
