Plan the Perfect Berkshire Wedding

Create a meaningful celebration of your love, in the Berkshires

If you’re looking for a great wedding experience that’s a reflection of who you are as a couple, the Berkshires has plenty of options!

Say ‘I Do’ at an Historic, Cultural, or Hotel Venue

What’s your vision for your special day? Berkshire wedding sites range from elegant estates like Winbrooke or Ventfort Hall Mansion to cultural attractions such as MASS MoCA, The Clark, Jacob’s Pillow, and The Mount. Some couples exchange vows at a private ceremony, then bring friends and family together to celebrate at an event space such as Bounti-Fare Restaurant, Proprietor’s Lodge, or Gedney Farm. Others choose a mountainside (or mountaintop) location such as Bousquet or Jiminy Peak. Whatever your taste or budget, there’s something in the Berkshires for you.

Get Married Outdoors

Outdoor weddings are popular in the Berkshires. With spectacular natural surroundings, perhaps defined by a romantic flowing tent from Classical Tents, what’s not to love? Imagine your ceremony and reception on the Tanglewood grounds. Or, tying the knot at Hancock Shaker Village with historic buildings, vibrant gardens, farm animals, and sweeping views of the Berkshire mountains that director of engagement Michael Crotty calls ‘a magical setting for anyone seeking a unique outdoor wedding venue.’ Exactly!

Serve Really Good Food

It’s no secret the Berkshires has a fabulous food scene, where artistic creativity blends with agricultural bounty. The best Berkshire caterers source locally, offering delicious menu options crafted with farm-fresh ingredients and artisanal foods. Ask your caterer or bartender about serving beverages from local craft breweries, wineries, and distilleries. Chocolate Springs is an excellent source for wedding cakes (if not from your venue) and take-home favors for your guests.
