Facility: Conference Rooms and Services

The Essex Conference Center & Retreat has been hosting group meetings, conferences and retreats for over 20 years. Groups from the Boston area are frequent, though we host many groups from across the United States as well as Europe. The contemporary design of our main building provides a setting of simple elegance. The meeting rooms offer flexible configurations to suit each group's unique needs.

The Center is available for day long meetings as well as an extended stay with overnight accommodations. For some events exclusive use of the Center is available depending on the number of participants and the length of your stay.

Meeting Rooms for Corporate Meetings and Retreats

Three meeting rooms are available at The Essex Conference Center & Retreat:

Our largest meeting room is the Juniper Room with 990 square feet, wall-to-wall carpeting, plenty of natural light by day and abundant overhead lighting for evening meetings. The Juniper Room can be configured to your specifications for up to 55 meeting participants.

The Ledge Room accommodates up to 35 guests, depending on the room set up. At 630 square feet the room offers plenty of space with great natural light for a variety of purposes.

Our third conference room, the Cedar Room, is located in a separate building close to the main building of the Center. Ample windows with views of the gardens and pond make its 325 square foot size seem larger and airy. The Cedar Room is suitable for a group of 15 or less.

quote for retreats I look forward to facilitating meetings, running brainstorming sessions and conducting team development meetings at The Essex Conference Center. The intimate, serene environment jump starts the change process. Leaving their work environment behind, engaged by the energy of the Center, meeting participants are ready to think and feel differently. The very experience of working at the Center significantly contributes to the process. During our stay my clients and I are pampered by the caring staff as they meet our every need.quote for retreats
