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

Salem can be simply dazzling in the winter, and the Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites offer wedding couples a warm, welcoming atmosphere for their winter nuptials. Exchange your vows in the inviting Compass Room or in a section of the impressive Maritime Ballroom with glittering crystal chandeliers. The ballroom can host up to 220 people for dining on seasonal menus and dancing into the night. The hotel, in the heart of historic and picturesque Pickering Wharf and a short walk to a downtown decked out in winter lights and greenery, offers a discounted block of guest rooms. Wedding planners will help with decor, entertainment, flowers and cuisine served plated, at stations or buffet-style. A preferred list of vendors and several wedding packages are also provided.

With its perch in Marblehead’s pretty harbor district, the Harbor Light Inn is a lovely location for a winter wedding. The inn’s natural serenity is only magnified in the winter, with snow dusting the tops of historic homes, and fireplaces glittering through windows along its streets. It’s the perfect place for a small ceremony or elopement, followed by a cocktail reception or private dinner. The knowledgeable and friendly concierge can help with caterers, photographers, florists and other service-providers and even suggest off-site ceremony sites. Guests who stay at the inn will enjoy their comfortable surroundings with unique, individually appointed rooms. Some have four-poster or canopy beds, high ceilings with exposed beams, fireplaces and two-person jetted tubs. All come with a complimentary breakfast.
