Chesterwood Overview
Located in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, the historic Chesterwood estate sits along a secluded country road in the village of Stockbridge and is the former home of famed late 19th c. sculptor, Daniel Chester French, creator of the Lincoln Memorial. Beautifully preserved and classically maintained to uphold a bold period appeal, this venue possesses a stunning mountain view and is steeped in late 19th century romantic details - a Georgian-Italianate mansion backdrop or a unique accompanying artist's studio, filled with the sculptor's models and tools spilling out onto a grand veranda with views. The formal gardens provide a one-of-a-kind setting for the ceremony and cocktail reception with its vine-covered pergola, and hydrangea-lined path ending with an archway covered in flowering vines. Chesterwood is perfect for open air ceremonies in the garden and tented receptions sited on one of the many lush lawns. The entire estate covers a vast 122-acres of picturesque countryside and woodland walks. Feel free to honor your love as you see fit as Chesterwood provides endless possibilities for settings and decorative elements, and encourages brides and grooms to dream big with wedding day desires.Venue Notes
The site-rental fee for the entire estate ranges from $6,500 to $9,500 for ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception for up to 250 guests up to 11 p.m. (excluding set up and clean up time.) The fee for a ceremony only is $2,000. Additional hours can be arranged for a fee. Larger weddings of up to 500 guests can be accommodated, please contact the venue for pricing.Amenities And Requirements
