We had our wedding at the Colonial Hotel in July, and it was truly the best experience from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. With the pagoda outside for the ceremony and the amazing outdoor tent for the reception. We had family traveling who got the pleasure of staying at the hotel, as did me and my Husband, and everything was clean and comfortable. Access to the pool and hot tub, and their amazing restaurant and bar. The day of the wedding I was well taken care of, and didn’t have to worry about a single thing, everything was decorated and prepared perfectly, they took my visions and made them come to life! Both me and my husband got many updates on the day of the wedding, making sure we knew where we needed to be and what would be happening next, which helped tremendously! We couldn’t be anymore pleased, and we will forever recommend the Colonial Hotel!

My husband and I loved our experience at Hidden Hills.

Second, the venue was beautiful. The food delicious. And service incredible. The price was exactly what we were looking for: AFFORDABLE. But the best part was Haley. She made wedding planning with the venue easy, uncomplicated, and was very open to our ideas and what we wanted for our big day.

Where do I begin? The Chocksett was our second or third venue me and my wife toured, and we were impressed from the moment we pulled into the parking lot. We met with Tianna, who gave us a tour; from each get ready room, to the bridal suite, the ballroom, the outdoor ceremony space, and the restaurant downstairs. We fell in love with everything about it. When we sat down with Tianna after the tour, we were blown away by everything that was included and were pleasantly surprised by the cost (The previous venues we toured were significantly out of our budget). Tianna takes the time and truly cares and asks every little detail, details that we didn't even think of. From the moment we signed our contract with the Chocksett, Tianna made every single step 100% stress free for us - and if you're planning a wedding, you know how stressful the planning is! She handled everything. Every meeting with her was so easy, so stress free, fun, and she is such a genuine person. Fast forward to wedding day and I don't think we ever saw her stop moving. She wanted to make sure everything went perfect and smooth for us and that we didn't have to worry about a single thing. It ended up raining during our ceremony, and without any hesitation, let us know she was already working on moving everything to the indoor ceremony space and not to worry. She set up all of our decorations we provided, set up every place setting exactly how we wanted, the welcome sign and seating chart, the list goes on. I now see that when every bride said that the day flies by, that's an understatement. The entire day flew by from when we got there to get ready, to the after party. The day was everything we dreamed it would have been and more. Thank you to everybody at the Chocksett, especially Tianna. If you're looking for a venue, I promise, you don't need to look any further. Book at the Chocksett and work with Tianna. I promise you'll be just as impressed as we were. I wish we could go back and do it all over again. We cannot possibly thank you enough.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience than what we had at The Groton Inn. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was something special—charming New England character, cozy fireplaces, an on-site art gallery, and beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces to suit any style of celebration. But what truly made our wedding unforgettable was working with Eleanor. She was organized, warm, and incredibly thoughtful every step of the way. We felt supported from day one, and when the big day came, we didn’t have to lift a finger. Set-up, coordination, and clean-up were all handled flawlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment.

Butternut Farm Golf Club was an absolutely gorgeous venue, with exceptional service, delicious food, reasonable pricing, and a beautiful setting. Kerri was incredible throughout the whole process, seamlessly making sure the whole day went perfectly— she even made sure I got a safety pin when my dress strap broke! Everyone from Hope, the business manager, to the waitstaff and the other vendors in the package (highly recommend the package with the photography and baker!) was extremely professional. The guests were raving about the food, and the large dance floor and huge ballroom (not to mention the reasonable pricing) made my 150 guests feel comfortable and excited. Bonus points for the balcony, where the non-dancers enjoyed great conversations overlooking the golf course pond. And what a gorgeous area in apple orchard country!! Could not have had a more perfect day. Thank you so much to everyone at Butternut for making our reception an absolute blast!!!

Our wedding day at the Inn on Boltwood was an amazing experience! We cannot praise the staff enough. Catherine and Maddie were extremely helpful, responsive, and organized throughout the whole wedding planning process, which took a year. They clearly know what they’re doing and their worksheets and check-ins helped us feel on-track without having a “cookie-cutter” wedding. The food is excellent, and guests have given us a lot of positive feedback (the ravioli in particular was a hit). We customized a few dishes on the menu to include more Vietnamese options, and the Chef knocked it out of the park. On the day of the wedding, the staff were so proactive. When it started drizzling during our cocktail hour, we came back from taking pictures to find all of our guests and decorations dry under the tent, and everything was set up beautifully. I would recommend this venue without hesitation to anyone looking to get married in Western Massachusetts — the pricing is transparent, the venue has multiple beautiful spots for pictures, the location is charming, and our guests had a wonderful time.

Highfields Golf & CC was the perfect venue for our wedding.

She helped to make sure we had everything squared away, from when we should be sending out our save the dates and invites all the way up to what sort of vendors we would need in order to help make our day special! We had multiple meetings with her well before our wedding to make sure we are hitting all the milestones, while helping to offer good advice, and ideas on what we should add for our day. Tracy was so friendly and great to work with, she was so accommodating and helped us fulfill any special requests that we had as best as she could! Tracy was even with us on the day of our wedding, helping to coordinate all of our vendors and be the point of contact for them, so we ourselves did not have to worry about anything other than getting ready! The venue itself is so pretty and in a great location, tucked away off the main road it is a nice secluded area! The ballroom itself was spotless, with a modern and updated design that provided an elegant backdrop for our celebration. But the real highlight was the beautiful outdoor ceremony space, which offered a scenic and serene setting for our vows. With ample room to accommodate all of our guests, the seamless flow between the ceremony area and the ballroom made the day effortless. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to host our special day!

If you are looking for a wedding venue on a moderate budget, the Publick House Inn is a no-brainer!! We had a December wedding and right from the start we knew it was the right venue. Everything was so charming- the perfect vibe if you want a classy, cozy, traditional New England vibe, but you don't want it to feel insanely uptight or uncomfortable. Our planners, Allison and Lia, were AMAZING! They were extremely responsive, kind and helpful with every single question we had. Honestly, every member of the staff we encountered was so friendly and that made our experience that much better. Now in terms of price, I think you could not get an all-around better deal. I had been quoted 10K for a tent alone in some venues closer to Boston, but with the Publick House in we were able to have an event for 100 people which included hors d'oeuvres, a nice three-course meal, a cake *included* and we even had enough left in our budget to have an open bar!! The setting in central MA also made the experience so convenient and relaxing for everyone; almost like a mini-resort in the country. If you are considering the Publick House - schedule a tour!! It was so perfect we wish we could do it again.

They provided and set up linens, tables and chairs, and we could bring in pretty much any caterer/food we wanted. They have fun features like uplighting and the cloud over the ballroom. They worked with us to create a signature drink that was a hit. Not to mention, it’s gorgeous! They’ve done a great job creating a space that can be used for a variety of events.

We cannot recommend Union Station enough! Neil and his staff were wonderful to work with, professional and attentive to all the details. They made the planning process fun and easy, and our wedding day was beautiful, and everyone raves about the food! We loved using the tunnel bar for photos and having the groomsmen hang out there before the ceremony.

We got married on 10/4/24 and can honestly say it was the most perfect day, thanks in large part to the amazing team at MCC! From our first tour of the venue to wedding day, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The venue itself is stunning—elegant, spacious, and with breathtaking views of the golf course that created a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail was thoughtfully designed to make our day unforgettable. The food was absolutely incredible! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was and said it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had. From the passed hors d'oeuvres, to the main courses and sides, the catering team truly outdid themselves! What made the whole experience even better was the help and guidance from Fallon and Kim. From the very beginning, the planning process was so smooth and stress-free. Fallon and Kim are so organized, professional, and attentive. They helped us with every detail, offered fantastic suggestions, and made sure everything was executed perfectly.

My husband and I got married at the Northampton Country Club in the fall of 2023. We had 110 people and everyone loved the crisp clean atmosphere of the venue. People had plenty of space to move about and we had a good size dance floor as well! My mother in-law was the one who made the suggestion to get married here as she had attended a wedding the previous year and loved it. We chose to have our ceremony outside on the hill in front of the gazebo and the setting was perfect. The trees had almost fully turned and the backdrop looked amazing in our photos. I loved that I could choose from a list of vendors and not be pressured into a preferred caterer. There was a shuttle from our hotel, which made this location very accessible for out of town guests. I highly recommend this location, you get so much value for what they offer. The bar staff was very accommodating and made the night fun for our guests!

Founded in 1814, The West Boylston Company was a large textile manufacturer in West Boylston, MA. At the turn of the century the company faced a crisis: the site of their mill would be flooded to form the Wachusett Reservoir. Instead of abandoning the mill, the company dismantled it brick by brick and shipped it to its new home in Easthampton, where it was rebuilt on the banks of the Lower Mill Pond. Now, a century later, The Boylston Rooms retains the integrity of the 1814 original mill in every brick and beam. Our rental includes planners and decor at no added cost. Whatever your style, with over 140 pieces of decor, if you can picture it in the space, we can make it happen.

We recently had a wedding rehearsal dinner at Gallifords. We are not from the area and the wedding venue gave us a list of suggestions for the rehearsal dinner. We tried several other venues but was most impressed with Gallifords. Initially we were skeptical about having the event at the zoo. Gallifords was the most accommodating of any other restaurant. The private function room came with a private patio with views of the zoo. We had three staff members take care of our event. The food was outstanding. The staff was beyond outstanding and made the event even more special.

From the moment we first inquired about hosting our wedding at Searles Castle, the team was responsive, attentive, and flexible in accommodating our needs. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a unique and well-appointed space that felt both spacious and intimate for our special day. Shawn and his team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went smoothly - they were super accommodating of our guests with mobility issues and I never found myself worrying as the bride, confident that the entire day would flow seamlessly. No request felt too big, and the team was very helpful when we needed direction on what to do. Having the day of coordinator included here is such a big benefit, and they rock at it. While booking we were reading all the five-star reviews for Searles, we knew we were choosing a great venue, but experiencing it firsthand was even better than we could have imagined. I've heard so many horror stories from other brides about their venues, but Searles was organized, attentive, and truly professional throughout the entire process. Not a single thing went wrong. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day at this beautiful and unique space! Thank you!
