- Coordination of deliveries
Historic New England property, 1878 William Ralph Emerson design on eighty acres at the base of the Blue Hills, under ten miles from downtown Boston. "The site is available for functions from 5:00 - 10:00 p.m. with additional time available for setup and breakdown." Catering is restricted to an exclusive supplier list, so food and beverage is a substantial mandatory extra. Tents (which push the fee to $5,200) must come from Peak Event Services or Sperry Tents.

Quincy states that no appointment is necessary, that both parties must appear together unless one is active duty military, and that licenses are valid for 60 days. Brookline and Milton both require a prior appointment for the intention filing; Brookline books through an online scheduler and Milton states intentions are scheduled by prior appointment only. Milton also publishes two statewide facts used above: witnesses are not required, and you do not have to be a resident of Massachusetts.
