april 2025


Dear Marlo,


It's all well and good that April showers bring May flowers but, for those of us on the east coast, we've have had more than our fair share this month; I think it's safe to say we're officially ready for brighter days ahead. Read on for ideas on how to brighten up the rest of your spring, rain or shine!


If you're craving more marlo content, check out our perspective on the solo diner conundrum (team restaurant or team diner?) and get up to speed on the 3:45 Dinner Trend; let's just say, early dining is definitely no longer the exclusive domain of the blue hair special!


So whether dining solo or with a group, early or late, next time you're out, raise a glass to something I'm pretty sure we can all agree on in this increasingly divisive world - a dry May filled with all the flowers!


coquette high tea

Listen up, darlings – if you’ve been searching for the perfect excuse to sip tea, snack on sandies, and live your most luxurious life, we've got you covered. Starting Saturday, April 19, High Tea officially returns to Coquette, meaning your typical weekend brunch just got a royal glow-up. 

 

Here’s the tea: picture-perfect towers stacked with buttery croissants, delicate tartlets, and all the fanciful finger sandwiches your heart desires. Once you've tried a steaming pot from the house selection, enjoy a cheeky cocktail like the Love Potion #9 or the shareable Hi-Tea if you’re feeling extra (spoiler alert: you are).

 

And of course, no meal is complete without the ideal soundtrack to top it all off - live jazz will set the mood on Saturdays, perfectly complementing the sun-drenched, très chic space. Translation? You’re poised to have an afternoon as elegant as it is Insta-worthy.

 

So, pinkies up Boston. Be sure to snag your Easter, Mother’s Day, and ladies who brunch reservations here. The only question is: who will spill the hottest tea?!



wentworth country club

April showers? Bring. It. On. Because at Wentworth by the Sea Country Club, all that springtime drizzle is just Mother Nature’s way of prepping the ultimate backdrop for a stunning starter to #weddingszn. Think: lush greens, fresh blooms, and that salty ocean breeze setting the mood - because nothing says happily ever after like a waterfront sunset + champagne toast.


Yep, all that natural spring prep helps Wentworth’s fairways turn into a literal dreamscape just in time for peak wedding magic to begin. The floral game is on point, the coastal views are serving main character energy, and the only thing standing between you and your perfect day is choosing between a DJ or a band to get things grooving with that Atlantic sparkle as your backdrop.


So if you're ready to lock down your dream venue for 2026, Wentworth by the Sea Country Club is here for you...and there are only clear skies ahead!  



bon me
