“The moment my husband and I stepped into Union Station, we instantly knew this was the perfect venue for our wedding. The venue’s unique history and aesthetic appeal, coupled with flawless service and incredibly friendly staff, set the stage for an unforgettable day. The Event Coordinator, Neil Gadbois, was the orchestrator of our dream wedding, ensuring everything ran smoothly and with utmost calmness. Neil was transparent about the offerings within each package, never feeling pushy or like a salesperson trying to close a deal. His easygoing and responsive nature made the entire planning process smooth and enjoyable. Whenever we had a question, Neil was always there, ready with an answer. An event coordinator like that is accompanied by an incredible staff. Jaylene and Emma were amazing in taking care of us. Jaylene even greeted us with our signature drinks once we finished our ceremony, helping us kick off our celebration on the right foot. Our guests kept raving about the unique charm of the venue. It creates a nostalgic, speakeasy-like ambiance that takes you back in time. We couldn’t have asked for a better day and we highly recommend that others give Union Station a visit, you will not be disappointed. - Lisa & Marc”

“Hands down, choosing the Hotel Northampton was one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning, besides saying yes to my husband! I had spent years mentally preparing for how difficult this process could be, but I cannot express how easy the team made it for us. In my professional life, I plan large-scale events. Even with my background, I was blown away and deeply grateful for the professionalism, flexibility, and expertise of everyone involved. Honestly, I don't know how Hotel Northampton makes any money off of weddings! They include so much, the food, drink, and cake to the dance floor, getting-ready rooms, and all the linens (including doubling up on the tables). On top of that, they handle the entire setup and breakdown for you. Their flexibility was unmatched. When I needed to add a full buffet to my welcome party just 1–2 weeks before, they made it happen. They also graciously worked with me on last-minute changes to my reception guest list. Speaking of food, they have some of the BEST food I have ever had! The quality, freshness, and flavors were so good. I honestly cannot wait to go back and eat there again. I am so thankful that they have a restaurant, because we can go back and enjoy their food every time we want to relive our wedding. The venue itself is naturally gorgeous, so all you really need to do is complement it. All of my guests had a blast, and I felt so little stress. Absolutely NOTHING went wrong on the wedding day, which is incredibly rare in this industry, and I attribute that entirely to Ruby and Lia. I’ve never heard of a venue or vendor team that makes everything so seamless. I had so many guests coming to me after saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to, including our pastor! So much of that was because of Hotel Northampton. Thank you so much to Ruby, Lia, and the rest of the Hotel Northampton crew. If I could get married 50 times over, I would choose them every single time. You will not regret booking with them, it was truly one of the best experiences of my life. This link is the video my DJ made of the recepetion space before everyone came in. Just come insight on my GORGEOUS everything is.

“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the Log Cabin at Delaney House! Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to Amanda, Josh, and their incredible team. We had a specific vision that included a place where family and friends could gather for a whole weekend, with a beautiful outdoor ceremony, an indoor reception that still felt connected to nature, and a team that would handle the details so we could enjoy our day. We also needed to be mindful of our budget. From our first meeting with Amanda, we knew we'd found the perfect place. And when I say they delivered, it was more than we could have ever dreamed! The venue and views were breathtaking, and every detail exceeded our expectations. We envisioned greenery, lanterns, candles, and warmth, and the team brought it all to life beautifully. They even turned extra flowers we'd brought into gorgeous table arrangements. We were completely blown away! The food was incredible! The team created a delicious vegetarian menu for us, and several guests said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. We couldn't agree more! The premium open bar was fantastic, and every staff member, from the bartenders to the waitstaff to our coordinator, Josh, was warm, attentive, and genuinely wonderful. But what made our experience truly exceptional was how completely cared for we felt. Amanda, Josh, and the team made everything effortless. We were never pressured, rushed, or made to feel like we were asking too much. They handled every detail so we could be fully present. Just before I was supposed to walk down the aisle, I ran back to the dressing room for more deodorant. Josh simply reassured me that nothing would start until I was ready. That moment perfectly captures the kindness and support we felt all day. Their generosity was remarkable. Amanda gave us an additional hour and let us use beautiful draping already installed, both without extra charges. These gestures meant so much. Even at the end of the reception, the staff remained incredibly helpful and never made us feel rushed. We also reserved The Mick for an after-party, which was the perfect way to keep celebrating with our loved ones late into the night. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing. The venue was stunning, the food exceptional, and every detail beautifully executed. But more than anything, it was the people who made our wedding perfect. Every interaction felt warm, supportive, and genuinely enthusiastic. It honestly felt like the entire team was there to celebrate with us, and that was such a beautiful gift. We cannot recommend Log Cabin highly enough. Amanda, Josh, and everyone at Log Cabin and Delaney House, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You gave us one of the most beautiful and meaningful days of our lives. We will never forget your kindness, generosity, and care. We have so much love and gratitude for you all!”

“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!”
