Old Mill in Westminster has a few small rooms and beautiful outdoor area. I used it for my rehearsal dinner and they also host weddings. Nice drive out there and affordable from what I recall https://www.1761oldmill.com/

Thank you! That’s not too far from where I live!

One piece of advice in scoping out places, especially with it only being 15 or so people, ask about room rentals and catering vs saying its for a wedding. There's always an upcharge once they find out its a wedding vs if you're just renting a room.

Ugh I know it’s so annoying! I’m finding a lot of places charge the same price whether you have 10 guests or 200.

The Old Mill is so great. I used it for my rehearsal dinner as well, and we go back for lunch every couple of months.

Our actual venue was The Colonial, which was also great, but probably not appropriate for 15 people...but maybe? I know they're pretty flexible there and maybe you can just do the reception in the bar.

Lucky! We got married at the Wachusett Village Inn... and ended up being one of the last weddings before they turned into a Recovery Center of America. It was such a great spot too 😫
