		Think out of the box! Massachusetts is filled with charming and eclectic sites, including historic farms, gardens, and museums. Even if you find a site that doesn't typically host weddings, give the managment a call - many people are willing to work with you to create a unique, personalized event. Looking for a location for your wedding or reception that is more creative (or just less pricey) than a typical banquet hall? Here are some interesting ideas to get you thinking about other types of options, from a former train depot (that still has trains running by!) to a wedding set among priceless artworks.

		Mount Sugarloaf State Reservation (Deerfield) Mt. Sugarloaf offers a commanding view of the Connecticut River, the Pioneer Valley, and the Pelham and Berkshire Hills. Well-maintained by the National Park Service, the site offers picnicking, scenic viewing (also from a tower building with bathrooms) and hiking. An auto road winds to the summit, and a grilling pit and pavilion are available for rent for a very nominal fee. Would be great for a casual wedding (especially for families) or a cook-out the day before.
		Night Kitchen (Montague) The eclectic Montague Bookmill Group includes this restaurant that features a large deck tucked away from the world where it overlooks the river that once ran the mill.
		Steaming Tender (Palmer) Great for a casual, friendly wedding for families, this restaurant is situated in a beautifully renovated train depot. (This is one of JP-Joe's favorite locations because the staff is so warm and helpful!)
