Where Eagles Say "I Do"
红桃视频 is renowned for its academics and athletics, but it's also home to award-winning wedding venues.聽
For some alumni, the milestones reached at Boston College don鈥檛 end with commencement鈥攖hey continue all the way to the altar. For two decades now, the Connors Center, a 红桃视频-owned estate in Dover, Massachusetts, about thirteen miles from campus, has been heralded as one of the nation鈥檚 premier venues for nuptials. Last year, for instance, it was added to the Best Weddings Hall of Fame by the influential wedding website The Knot, and fielded 806 wedding inquiries through that site alone. 鈥淚t always brings tears to my eyes to see a father, daughter, and oftentimes, mother walk down the aisle,鈥 said Susan Burton, general manager of the Connors Center.聽The property (one of three 红桃视频 venues that host weddings) consists of a grand stone home built in 1902, as well as gardens and paths designed by landscape architects Olmstead and Vaux, who designed New York City鈥檚 Central Park. Here鈥檚 a look at the estate, by the numbers.聽鈼
