I’m a little biased since I’ve lived here my whole life, but New England just has this unique combination of history, beauty, charm, and fun that no other region in the U.S. can match. And with this combination, it’s simply a given that these six states would be jam-packed with lovely places to get married. If you & your partner feel drawn to places that are equally as rich in history as they are beautiful, you’ll definitely want to check out this list of some of the most amazing historic wedding venues in Massachusetts. You just might find exactly the venue you’ve been dreaming of!

The Abbey – Fall River, MA
Originally built in 1876 and converted exclusively into a private function venue in 2018, the Abbey in Fall River boasts a rich, fascinating history. Through the decades, the building has been a church (attended by Lizze Borden), a restaurant, a music video set, and even the International Culinary Institute of America! Today, the Abbey is a truly unique, out-of-the-box space to host your big day. The exposed brick walls, large windows, beautifully restored hardwood floors, and glistening chandelier are just a few of many features that give this venue its character. With a little creativity, you can transform this hidden gem into your dream wedding venue!
Worcester Art Museum – Worcester, MA
Museums are becoming an amazing alternative for couples who want to be surrounded by beauty on their wedding day, but just don’t feel excited or inspired by a “normal,” traditional venue. Thanks to its striking beauty and distinctive design, the Worcester Art Museum especially stands out among museum wedding venues in Massachusetts. What could be more epic than saying your vows on the landing of a magnificent marble staircase, gazing out at your gorgeous florals and decor below from the dramatic balcony, or sharing your first dance among ancient art and culture? The Worcester Art Museum is an incredible venue for both large and intimate gatherings, and it’s easy to give this already iconic space your own unique flare.
Concord’s Colonial Inn – Concord, MA
Ideal for a cozy, intimate wedding with just your closest loved ones, Concord’s Colonial Inn is charming and homey, with plenty of on-site lodging for guests and several lovely on-site ceremony locations despite the inn’s smaller size. Concord’s Colonial Inn was originally built in the 18th century as an arms storage facility during the Revolutionary War. Today, the inn retains many of its charming colonial design features. Elegant drapes, ornate accents and a grand staircase define the interior, while the front and back lawns of the inn make amazing spots for portraits.
