WEDDING: (venue) Plimoth Plantation

Just read the fine print and found out that Plimoth Plantation has an off-season discount! Next step is going to see the place. Not crazy about the idea of a tented wedding but the Gainsborough Room only holds about 100 people for dinner with very little room for dancing.

Apparently one of the resident Wampanoag at Plimoth Plantation is infamous for being quite easy on the eyes. I've gotten this from several different sources (all ladies) ... it's simultaneously hilarious and creepy. When I've told folks about considering Plimoth Plantation as a reception venue, this particular gentleman always seems to come up in conversation.

Gainsborough Hall

Peabody Pavilion

PLIMOTH PLANTATION

Location: Plymouth, MA

Capacity: 250 guests

Site Fee: $1000 for Peabody Pavilion, $750 Gainsborough Hall, $500 Hornblower Garden

Food: $75-$85 pp depending on the package

Alcohol: 4.5 hours of premium open bar is included

Off season discount: (January 2^nd-April 30^th) ½ price rental fee and 10% off wedding packages

PROS:

• Would totally take my wedding photos on the Mayflower! (see below) … pretty sure there’s an extra charge.
• The package price includes a full open bar.

...not sure if I could jump this high in a wedding dress but I'd definitely  try!

CONS: 

• Gainsborough Hall is not large enough for our guests and a tented wedding is not my preference.
• I believe that the open bar is non-negotiable.

Will update after I see the place.
