Concord Scout House

My wife and I chose the Concord Scout house to be the venue for our wedding reception because of its proximity to Boston, affordability, and beauty. With the help of the small staff that runs the non-​profit that cares for and rents out the building, we could not have asked for a more perfect place to host our guests and celebrate.
The building itself used to be a barn, and was made into a building for scouts early in the 20^th century. As such, it is gorgeous inside: the support beams and trusses are exposed, and they keep the floor in stunning condition for the dancers who rent the building several times a week. Along the sides of the building, the two-​story windows cast a perfect light in the room.
As a venue for our reception, we were comfortably snug at about 110 guests. The tables and chairs for that many fit fine, but leaving room for a dance floor, a bar, and a buffet was a challenge. It would be a gorgeous venue for a wedding ceremony, but we couldn’t fit both wedding and reception with that many people. With 50 or 60 guests, it would have done perfectly. They have enough chairs and tables for all of our guests, as well as a stage you can use.
The administrator, Lois, was very easy to work with. She communicated with me clearly and gave us good suggestions on how to best utilize the space. The two staff members who cleaned before and after the party were very helpful as well.
We were very pleased with the whole experience, and our guests raved about how great the venue was. We would absolutely book another event here.
