Couldn’t Recommend More!

I can’t recommend Classical Tents & Party Goods enough! The process for booking, drop off, and pick up couldn’t have gone any smoother! With so much to worry about as a bride it was nice to work with a team that fit into the planning and wedding weekend seamlessly! The sailcloth tent we rented was absolutely beautiful! Since we booked everything initially about 2 years before our wedding there were several changes before the big day when it came to what we needed / wanted to rent and the Classic Tents team was so accommodating and always got back to me extremely fast!

Easy, transparent, communicative and great selection!

We used Classical for all of our rentals for our October wedding, from the tent down to the napkins and space heaters. We were so impressed by their wide selection of items and transparency about pricing off the bat. They also allowed us to come into the showroom multiple times to test different table settings because we couldn't make up our minds! The team was so friendly, communicative, and easy to work with - both leading up to the wedding and on the day of. THE go-to for any Berkshires weddings (or beyond!).

Perfect for an outdoor wedding

The tent that Classical Tents provided was warm, spacious, and perfectly set up for our wedding. Even with last minute changes, they were professional and able to make everything happen. Highly recommend for any outdoor wedding!

Team

Katherine Lockridge
Katherine Lockridge
Co-Owner

The consummate connector, Kat feels most rewarded when helping individuals and event planners find the exact rental items and services they need. This philosophy also extends to the local Berkshire community, where Kat spends time advising on boards, including for 1Berkshire and The Center for Environmental Technology. She also founded the Berkshire Wedding Tour, to help draw attention to the Berkshires as a destination wedding location.

Kat earned a degree in natural resource management, with a minor in business and psychology. As a ranger in Yellowstone National Park in 1988, the year of the historic wildfires, she got her first taste of in-depth customer service when she realized she needed to offer friendly, consistent guidance to the park’s many concerned visitors.

She now applies those skills to her work at Classical Tents, where she helps brides, grooms, families, and event planners design their ultimate event. The queen of linens, Kat loves fabric and each year sources an ever-expanding line of fine linens—organza, bengaline, linen, satin, twill—for her customers.

Kat lives in Lee, and loves the local hiking trails and wonderful live arts and music selections that the Berkshires has to offer. Kat is always honing her skills in the kitchen and loves to cook and bake.

Co-owner

Ben hasn’t met a site yet that he can’t successfully put a tent on! Our technical guru of tents, Ben gained lots of practical know-how while growing up on a farm in Vermont, and later earned a degree in engineering. He helped one of the largest tent companies in the Unites States design a new line of tents, and has installed tents, staging, flooring, and more in a variety of cities and for an array of clients, including AT&T, New York Fashion Week, Lindt Chocolate, and Bar Harbor Yacht Club, as well as for hundreds of weddings and family events in the Berkshires. A mechanical expert, Ben can fix almost any machine, and has the uncanny ability to problem-solve the most challenging sites.

Ben lives in the Williamstown area, and when weather and work allow, you can find him on his mountain bike on the gnarliest trails, or whizzing down the slopes of a local ski area with friends and family.

Brides, caterers, and corporate event planners have come to rely on Michele’s friendliness, professionalism, and exceptional organizational skills. A natural social planner, she enjoys considering the finer details and helping clients select items that will transform their ideas from a vision into a once-in-a-lifetime event.

A native of Berkshire County and a resident of Pittsfield, Michele joined the Classical Tents team in 2001. With her husband, Trevor, whom she met at Classical Tents, she also founded Berkshire Shenanigans, an event initiative company that has helped plan and execute events, including cocktail parties, dance parties, and corporate fund-raisers, for up to 400 people. In her off hours, Michele loves photography, traveling, and scrapbooking.
