Deerfield Inn has welcomed guests since July 1884, making it one of New England's enduring historic country inns. It sits on Old Main Street in Deerfield, Massachusetts — a village recognized as a National Historic Landmark and surrounded by working farms, period homes, and the pastoral Connecticut River Valley countryside known locally as the Happy Valley. The inn's large white-columned clapboard building retains much of its original character: a robin's egg blue front porch ceiling, the original hayloft door, a cast-iron horse weathercock, and preserved historic flooring. Twenty-four guest rooms are split between the main house and carriage house, and Champney's Restaurant and Tavern anchors the property's dining. For private events, the Terrace Café offers a multi-purpose setting with south-facing windows, French doors to a garden patio, a private bar, and coat check, accommodating up to 70 guests for a reception or 50 for a seated dinner. Champney's Restaurant seats 50 for private dinners in a room with period wallpaper, a fireplace, and chandeliers. The inn hosts weddings, elopements, corporate retreats, and social gatherings — with on-site accommodations so guests can stay through the celebration.

The Colonel Williams Inn and Barn has stood on Route 9 in Marlboro, Vermont for over 250 years, making it the oldest structure in town. Captain William Williams, a Revolutionary War officer and member of Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys, purchased the property in 1769 and built the barn that still stands today; the family's original 1772-73 home now serves as the inn's main entrance and lobby. The nine-acre property sits atop a hill with meadows, forest, and a spring-fed pond. The 18th-century barn hosts weddings and private events for up to 150 guests, with 130 comfortably seated. Packages include 48 hours of property access before the ceremony, professional event coordination, tables, linens, china and flatware, décor inventory, custom up-lighting and pathway lighting, and an indoor dining room as a weather contingency. Couples booking the barn also receive two nights in the wedding suite. The venue also hosts micro and mini weddings for 2 to 50 guests and offers catering for 50 or fewer guests, rehearsal dinner packages, bar packages, lawn games, and a fire pit. Beyond weddings, the inn operates as a bed and breakfast with guest rooms, including pet-friendly accommodations, available for weekend stays and family reunions.

From its beginnings as a rustic New England farm in 1798 to the famed Montague Farm commune (1968-2002) and the Zen Peacemakers (2002-2011), 177 Ripley Road appears to have been a source of inspiration throughout history. Its legacy encompasses a wide range of activities, including community development, spirituality, art, environmental action, and activism (for more on this, click HISTORY). In order to carry on that tradition, Montague Retreat Center has established a goal to make this unique venue available to the public for private activities such as weddings, workshops and cultural events, as well as overnight retreats (corporate as well as educational). The Great Hall, our gorgeous, geothermal assembly room, is presently available for day or evening rental (for more information, see RENTALS), and our tented stone terrace is ideal for large gatherings (for more information, see RENTALS) (for more on this, click WEDDINGS).

The Curtis House is an 1850s Dutch Colonial home set on five acres of cut flower gardens, orchards, and open lawn in Ashfield, Massachusetts. The property takes its name from George William Curtis — editor of Harper's Weekly and a prominent 19th-century lecturer and essayist — who summered there with his wife and established the Ashfield Dinners, an annual community gathering that became a New England institution. Today, Gloriosa & Co. operates the Curtis House as an exclusive-use event venue. The restored late 19th-century barn is the heart of the property, accommodating up to 140 guests beneath exposed beams and locally milled hardwood floors, with a stone patio that opens directly onto the cut flower gardens. For winter celebrations, the main house hosts intimate gatherings of up to 40. The venue books one event per weekend, keeping each occasion genuinely exclusive to the couple or group who books it. In-house catering, bar, and floral design services are available on-site, handled by the same team that manages planning and day-of coordination.
