Castle Hill is as close to Downtown Abbey as you're going to get in Massachusetts. Located on a lofty hill overlooking Crane Beach, this 1920s estate wedding here will transport you to another time. Of course, you could have the ceremony inside the mansion. However, the winning combo is probably an outdoor ceremony on the sweeping lawn, and then an elegant reception indoors.

If you can swing it, a wedding at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in the South End is sure to be breathtaking. It's the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, and is the largest Roman Catholic church in New England. As you might expect, getting a time slot here is no picnic, so be sure to pick your dates early. They recommend at least nine months to a year in advance. (1400 Washington Street, Boston)
