In Part One, we gave you the rundown on venues, illustrating the incredible range of options you have in the Pioneer Valley. In Part Two, we gave you some fabulous options for food, flowers, and photographers. In Part Three, we’re rounding out our series with some tried and true strategies for keeping the wedding party happy. You may be thinking, “Hey! It’s my wedding.

Give ‘em the props they deserve. And do it in major style in the place we all love best — Hampshire County, of course.
