Where to even begin. My wife and I are beyond thrilled with the service and space provided at The Riverview. Kayla Rosenbeck was our coordinator and point of contact throughout our planning period. She was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the year leading up to our event. My wife and I had a two-day experience at the venue in celebration of a traditional Hindu ceremony. The coordination of an outside caterer, working with their in-house kitchen, designing and decorating the space differently to mark the two events was a complex task. Kayla and her team did it without blinking. In the days of our events, my wife and I were supported by Cam and Tanya, two wonderfully dedicated attendants. They made sure we were fed, hydrated, and well cared for. They put us at ease immediately. The entire staff at The Riverview, from Kayla and her team, to reception, to kitchen, to custodial, was top-notch. We could not have asked for a more thorough and complete experience.

The entire team at the Inn on Boltwood was helpful and accommodating from the start! We asked about a million questions, and we were always given prompt, thorough and well explained feedback. One of the big selling points for us was the service, and the flexibility of the setting. It ended up raining on our wedding day, but we were easily able to move the outdoor parts inside the air conditioned ballroom, and we still had a fantastic time in the tent. They also have plenty of gorgeous spaces for photos and getting ready, which meant we still got plenty of beautiful pictures! The front of the building, the restaurant, library, rooftop, as well as the wedding spaces are all gorgeous. Many of our friends and family stayed the weekend and it was the perfect place to celebrate. We cannot say enough good things about Catherine, Maddy and Tom who took great care of us and could not have been more helpful. We could not recommend the Inn on Boltwood more!

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.

Our wedding at The Delaney House was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Working with Nicole and her incredible team made the entire planning process not only easy, but genuinely enjoyable. They guided us through every step with care, professionalism, and the kind of attention to detail that truly sets them apart. The food was absolutely delicious—our guests are still raving about it. Josiah and Erica were phenomenal throughout the evening, and Brianne ran the ceremony beautifully. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless.

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!
