The Essex Conference Center & Retreat in Essex Massachusetts, is a beautiful setting for traditional, gay, and lesbian weddings that reflect the individuality of each couple in love. You'll venture into a magical garden setting of towering pines and the scent of the sea blowing through our wind chimes. A waterfall tumbles into a lily-covered pond, a small stream meanders among the perennial beds, and in the midst of this beauty, you and your guests will celebrate the joy of your special day.
