Personalized, Quiet Elegance

Stepping into Historic Deerfield is like stepping back in time. "It's the New England you always hoped to find," says Karl Sabo, innkeeper at the Deerfield Inn. The town's main street is lined with historic homes from the early 18th and 19th centuries. The 350-year-old historic village is truly special, lending itself to an equally special wedding venue in the Deerfield Inn (1884).

Located in the center of Historic Deerfield, Massachusetts, the inn and its team of professionals make you feel right at home. "Having a wedding here is like having your wedding in a large country home," explains Sabo. "We focus on one event at a time and make it a very personalized experience." In fact, when the inn is hosting a wedding, in most cases the property is devoted to no other guests but you and your guests.

Each season in New England offers its own special wedding backdrop, from spring's flowers and summer's lush greenery to autumn's foliage and winter's snowy blanket. So have fun with the planning and choose a venue that is special for you and your groom. And most important, best wishes!
