Western Massachusetts

Western Massachusetts is one of those rare and amazing places where you can hike through beautiful wilderness, take a hot air balloon ride, stop at a pick-your-own organic farm, check out a gallery opening for a local artist, eat a delicious, seasonal meal and listen to a world class musician at an intimate venue…all in a single day!

That’s one reason so many couples choose to get married in Western Massachusetts. There’s no shortage of incredible wedding venues and vendors, and out-of-town guests can easily make a vacation out of this unique destination.

But we think there’s another reason, too. Western Massachusetts has a special ethos that appeals to both those who make this area their home as well as come here to exchange their wedding vows. 

This is a place that values small and slow, independent and creative – and weddings are no exception.

Valley Wed was launched with exactly those couples in mind: people who steer clear of anything “cookie cutter” and dismiss the idea that their wedding has to look like something out of a traditional bridal magazine. 

Valley Wed is a wedding show designed for couples that want to go their own way, but they don’t want to go it alone.

Once you start planning your wedding day, finding the right vendors – top-quality professionals you can trust, that understand your vision and are committed to making it reality – may be your biggest challenge, but also your greatest asset.

Valley Wed coordinator Hannah Grace of Grace Ceremonies has made that task a whole lot easier for you.  In this second annual show, she once again offers couples a carefully curated selection of over 30 of the top wedding vendors in Western Massachusetts with the goals of inspiring personal connections and honoring your style with a locally sourced approach.

Every vendor at Valley Wed is an independently owned small business.  Each vendor prides themselves on exceptional quality products and services. All the vendors have a proven track record and loyal fan base.  And you’d probably have fun grabbing a drink with any one of them.

Wedding planning can be a fun and fulfilling experience, especially when you have the right people on your team. Valley Wed will help you find everything you need to have an amazing wedding day, with the best vendors to help you plan one of the most important days of your life.
