Five Signs Misselwood Might Be Your Dream Venue

Is Misselwood Your Dream Wedding Venue?

5 Signs It’s a Perfect Match

Planning a wedding on the North Shore of Boston Massachusetts means you have no shortage of stunning venues to choose from—but if the ocean keeps calling your name, chances are you’ve already come across Misselwood Events at Endicott College in Beverly, MA. Sitting along the rocky New England coastline, this estate wedding venue is a favorite for couples who want equal parts classic + refined, mixed with playful, seaside romance.

But is it the right fit for you? Here are 5 signs Misselwood might be your dream North Shore wedding venue.

Coastal North Shore wedding venue for backyard and elegant Boston couples


1. You Can’t Imagine Your Day Without an Ocean View

If you’re the type of couple who comes alive by the water, Misselwood gives you a front-row seat to the Atlantic. Ceremonies often happen right on the lawn overlooking the ocean, with sailboats drifting by in the distance. Stop it. I’m all in!


Why This Matters for Photos

Golden hour portraits by the cliffs, wind-in-your-hair candids, and the drama of the Atlantic as your backdrop—it doesn’t get more New England than this.

2. You Love The Refined Elegance of an Estate, but with a North Shore Backyard Twist

Misselwood is more than just a venue—it’s a historic estate with ivy-covered walls (my favorite!) Gorgeously curated gardens, beautiful artwork throughout the main house, and the sound of crashing waves – Classic North Shore charm. The stone architecture makes your portraits feel elevated and romantic, while the property leans into the playful, candid, documentary energy to keep your wedding images dynamic!


3. You Want a Venue That Feels Private but Still Close to Boston

A lot of couples want the best of both worlds: A venue that feels tucked away and intimate, but without asking guests to trek deep into the countryside. Misselwood sits right on the North Shore, about 30 minutes north of Boston, making it super accessible while still feeling like a hidden gem. Just arriving to the estate, you can feel the charm! A special property for a vibrant celebration!

4. You Care About the Guest Experience

A wedding at Misselwood isn’t just beautiful for you—it’s unforgettable for your guests. Sipping cocktails on the lawn with the ocean breeze, wandering through the gardens, and catching views of the sunset from every angle? Yes, please. Add in a great band + some delicious apps and you’ve got yourself a wedding everyone’s talking about!


5. You Want Photos That Feel Timeless and Coastal

The variety you can capture here is unmatched! From dramatic waters to lush greenery, historic stonework and art around every corner, Misselwood offers a backdrop for every vibe. Whether you’re picturing candid documentary images or editorial-inspired portraits, the variety here guarantees your photos will be evergreen.
