The Whittemore-Robbins House

We recently had our wedding at the WRH. On the whole, we had a great experience.
Vicki Rose, the site coordinator is a gem. She was friendly, helpful and really pushed things forward on the day of our event. We got a ton of complements on the site — it is beautiful, really flexible and convenient to most places in Boston.
Just one note: This is very much a DIY venue.
What does that mean? Vicki works another full time job, so it can often take her a little while to respond. They do not have a parking attendant, so we had a friend direct traffic once their lot was full. Also, we were on site to manage the tent and rental deliveries, since it was on a Friday (not a day of regular coverage for them).
Bottom line: We had a great experience with the WRH. We would host another event there in a heartbeat.

What a beautiful venue for a wedding. The Whittemore-​Robbins House was only the second venue we visited, but we both knew it was the place we would get married. The historic house is both lovely and functional. We had about 100 people and set up the reception like a cocktail party with a dance floor, two food stations and a bar.
We had use of four rooms downstairs, two rooms upstairs and front and back porches. We were even able to add our personal photos to the mantles!
Vicky, the function manager, was kind and accommodating. She really served as a wedding coordinator. Since neither of us had been married and our officiant was a friend who got a one-​day license, Vicky was nice enough to give us some free (and much needed) advice on the ceremony and reception.
The entire experience was a pleasure and I would recommend this venue to anyone.

The house is beautiful and romantic. A good thing to note is the pricing. Arlington residents can rent the house for $ 200 an hour, but there is an 8 hour minimum. $ 1600 for avenue isn’t bad. Non Arlington residents get the house for $ 250 per hour with the same minimum. Would be a great place for about 50 – 75 guests, but the staff is willing to work with everyone!

Beautiful grounds overall but the staff was definitely slow and inexperienced.

We had our wedding here in December and it was amazing! The venue is beyond beautiful and Vicki the venue manager was incredibly helpful. She not only helped with the planning, but vendor selection etc. She was also on hand for the entire event and made everything run smoothly before, during, and after. I would recommend this venue for any occasion.

My daughter had her wedding and reception at this historic home. It was a beautiful setting. Vicki, the manager of the property, made sure everything ran smoothly. She remained available on the premises the entire time and was extremely helpful. The party began with the ceremony in front of the formal garden and extended to the side yard (with a tented dining area), bar and photo booth on the porch, dancing and dessert in the house.
