Central Massachusetts/Sturbridge

If you want your wedding to be one for the ages, have it at an inn steeped in history. At the Publick House Historic Inn, which opened its doors to visitors in 1771, guests will be swept away by the 18th-century ambiance, whether your venue is an historic barn for 200 or the charming Pineapple Room, the inn’s original fireplaced sitting room, perfect for gatherings of 30. Or, exchange your vows under an oak tree in a picture-perfect meadow, then dance into the night under a Garden Tent with a stone paver floor and chandeliers. Wedding consultants will help you plan everything from your seating arrangements to your creative buffet or sit-down menu. A vendor list includes florists, photographers – and horse-drawn carriages.

New England boasts several unique places for weddings, but could anything be more one-of-a-kind than in the beauty of the Blackstone Valley? Imagine exchanging vows amidst the breathtaking views of the forest, surrounded by the natural splendor of the great outdoors. Southwick’s Zoo is the perfect venue for a wedding that will be remembered for a lifetime.
The private pavilion at Southwick’s Zoo overlooks the majestic African Plains Exhibit and features stone patio flooring and gazebo, a garden, and fire pit areas. For smaller affairs, the Daniels Room in Galliford’s Restaurant has a walk-out patio area, large outdoor fire pits, and built-in audio and video equipment. Choose from popular and freshly prepared menu selections from our Banquet Chef with the opportunity to customize your own menu. Our professional staff will ensure your day is perfect – and perfectly unforgettable.
