Winter Weddings North of Boston & in the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts (MA)

Wrap your wedding in the romance of wintertime in charming Salem when you get married at the Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites. Located in the heart of the lively Waterfront District, right on historic Pickering Wharf, the hotel can host your ceremony and reception for up to 220 guests. Talk about timeless romance: Imagine exchanging vows, then dining and dancing in a grand ballroom with luminous chandeliers, large dance floor and sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows. Imagine the room decorated in winter greenery or holiday finery, with sparkling centerpieces and glittering crystal. The hotel provides a preferred vendor list, a certified professional wedding coordinator and a dedicated day-of banquet captain to help attend to all the details so you can truly enjoy your day.

Imagine a picturesque seaside town, a glistening harbor, wreaths on the doors of Colonial homes, fireplaces aglow: Now imagine your winter wedding in an historic inn right in the middle of this town. At the Harbor Light Inn, created by the combination of two Federalist mansions, elopements and weddings with up to 30 guests are especially lovely in the winter, before a crackling fireplace. The inn’s concierge can help with everything from flowers and photography to catering. And what a perfect place for a honeymoon, in a room with a working fireplace and two-person jetted tub. The inn, with a cozy tavern, is also a charming place for guests attending an in-town wedding. You can walk to Marblehead’s many shops, galleries and restaurants.
