For some alumni, the milestones reached at Boston College don’t end with commencement—they continue all the way to the altar. For two decades now, the Connors Center, a BC-owned estate in Dover, Massachusetts, about thirteen miles from campus, has been heralded as one of the nation’s 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. “It always brings tears to my eyes to see a father, daughter, and oftentimes, mother walk down the aisle,” said Susan Burton, general manager of the Connors Center. The property (one of three BC 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’s Central Park. Here’s a look at the estate, by the numbers. ◽
