About

Tucked into the northern Berkshires, Buxton sits on 114 acres of wide-open fields, wooded trails, and mountain views. It is a space that feels both expansive and intimate. Originally built as a summer estate and transformed into a progressive boarding school in the 1930s, the campus still carries that energy: thoughtful, welcoming, rich in history and creativity.

You can host a one-day celebration or take over the whole campus for the weekend. Walk from ceremony to cocktail hour, share meals under the stars, stay up late dancing, and meet friends and family again for breakfast -- no shuttles or Ubers needed. There is room for up to 70 guests to stay overnight in dorm-style accommodations, and plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to make your celebration feel personal and unique.

Our event season runs during the summer months from June through August, with limited one-day availability at other times of the year, depending on the school calendar. Buxton is not your typical venue, and that is precisely what makes it magical. We provide the canvas. You bring the vision.

Best choice for our rehearsal dinner!

The private event space, a mezzanine-style room, with naturally beautiful décor was the perfect fit for our rehearsal dinner. It fit 20 very comfortably with plenty of rooms for a few kids to roam and a full buffet station not including a cake table. Joy and her crew were exceptional to us, very kind, very hospitable, kind and detail oriented. Joy was our main contact throughout the entire planning process and let me know you, she is the most patient person. I must have bothered her every week for months on end and she was such a pleasure in each communication we shared. I really adored her. As mentioned, the space is so gorgeous that we did not decorate any of it but if you wanted to, you could absolutely amplify it with some décor. It overlooked the restaurant but since there were curtains, we couldn’t hear any loud noises of the crowds from downstairs but we could peak into the dining room if we wished. Just a neat feature; the kids really enjoyed it. The food was out of this world and our guests could not stop raving about it. The lima beans were the biggest hit but we had ribs, pulled pork, collards, scalloped potatoes, and hush puppies were also AMAZING. Their drink selection was fabulous; there was something for everyone. Slushies, wine, craft beer, wine, and cheer wine  I highly suggest planning your next event here. Joy was excellent and her entire staff shared no expense to ensure we enjoyed ourselves.

Buxton could not have been a more perfect location for our wedding! The campus is so beautiful, and having the ability to house our guests made the weekend even more special. All of the facilities were gorgeous and served as the perfect backdrop to our joyful day. We couldn’t dream of getting married anywhere else

Perfect venue in the Northern Berkshires for a wedding. The school campus has rustic, New England charm and spectacular views. There are ample indoor and outdoor spaces for a ceremony and reception and accommodations for plenty of guests. We were lucky to have good weather and everything went off without a hitch. Beautiful spot!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
