wedding locations

We’re getting married in April’s hometown, North Adams, Massachusetts.

The ceremony will be held at the North Adams Public Library. It’s a beautiful and historic building, located at the East end of Main Street.

The ceremony will be short, but please be advised that it will be standing room only (we will have chairs for those who need them).

The reception will be at MASS MoCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), which is close to the West end of Main Street. MoCA is housed inside the old Sprague Electric complex, and it opened in 1999. It is the largest center for contemporary arts in the United States.

Both locations are within walking distance of the hotels, but parking will be available if desired!
