What is great about Christina's is that it is totally customizable for the budget bride, you can make it as expensive or as cheap as you'd like. In 2010, it was $500 for the ceremony (if you wanted to have your ceremony there), $27-62 per person (not including the choice of the main course). This cost includes: 5 hours, a wedding coordinator, flowers, wedding cake, and cocktail service. And like every package, you can choose to add or get rid of certain elements which then affects the price.
You do not have to pay a rental charge, just the per person cost, food and drink. The woman we spoke to was very professional and courteous, it is clear that they understand good customer service.
Christina's has a veranda, plenty of parking, grand piano, several ballrooms to select from, specialty lighting, covered chairs with your choice of colored bows and, get this...a beautiful bridal suite, just for the bride and her crew. I was so tempted to have my wedding here JUST for the bridal suite. Several things: Christina's is right near the highway, which makes it less classy - but once you're inside, you don't even hear the cars. Also, they plan it so that they can have one reception in the afternoon and one in the evening, which means that if there is an overlap, you can bump into the other bride, which was NOT thrilling. (Always ask this question to venues: Do you have more than 1 wedding a day?)
Not for the budget bride who wants a completely unique wedding...in these package deal situations, you can only customize so much, but you're guaranteed a lot less stress. Unfortunately for us, we wanted a lot of elements that Christina's was not so willing to work around like handling our own invitations and choosing our own caterer. But, if you want to just have a beautiful David Tutera-esque wedding for an inexpensive price, this is definitely the place.
Atmosphere: 3 - their ceilings were a little low for our taste, and from the outside, it looks really run down. It redeems itself with the grassy veranda and grand set up.

I was a guest at a wedding shower at Christina's not too long ago and this is what I took from the place.
Well, the MOH (my sister-in-law) was furious most of the night. They messed up so many things that she had planned on and left with a really bad taste in her mouth. Not awesome.
My experience was that the room we had for the shower was fine, it fit everyone in our party, and our dedicated bartender was a cool guy. The food was good party fare and though the MOH had to constantly monitor every single thing that happened for the party, she made sure the food kept coming.
The dancing in the Lounge "afterhours" was pretty lame and the DJ didn't have much of a playlist other than 70s disco. She didn't even have Biggie on her computer.
All of that being said, I was just a guest who had a good time at a shower. Would I rent it out myself? Not unless I lived in Foxboro and my options were extremely limited. Eh... the place was fine. Just don't expect to be even a little bit wow-ed. -

I have only been here on Easter so I don't know what else they offer year round but my family and I have gone to Christina's for the past three years in a row.
I gave it four stars because the food isn't anything great, it is typical brunch buffet food, nothing amazing but a decent breakfast offering like an omelet station, home fries, bacon, eggs Benedict, fruit, muffins. The lunch selection is fine too, veggies, salads, ham, turkey, etc...
The best part of this place is the service, the cleanliness, and the entertainment on Easter Sunday. Everyone who works there is really nice, the place is really clean and they hire this DJ who is awesome. With kids that is. He plays non stop all day, he gets the kids playing twister, hoola hoop contests, every hip dance out there plus games and contests. He plays good music too, so if you aren't paying attention to kids you are still enjoying the music.
If you don't have kids or have any kids in your family I don't recommend this place on Easter because it is a bit hectic, but if you do have kids go here, it is so much fun. The kids will be exhausted by the end of the day and go to sleep early:)
