Crissey Farm

Crissey Farm is truly a magical place. Gary and Chelsea made our wedding so special. They were professional, accommodating and hospitable. Our guests loved the food and also having our after party at the cozy restaurant's bar. If you're looking for the perfect spot for a special occasion or just a great meal and a pint, look no further.

Definitely Have Your Wedding at Crissey Farm

Just a phenomenal experience. The venue flawlessly handled a variety of functions and services that are typically handled by other vendors (food and drink, tableware, waitstaff) at an incredibly reasonable rate. They were super flexible and collaborative when it came to the overall vision of the ceremony and reception, and worked seamlessly with the few additional vendors we employed. Even when a few unexpected hiccups occurred at the last second, the venue was more than understanding and eager to help come up with solutions. Throughout the entire process, Chelsea and Gary were thoroughly transparent, easy-going, and just an overall pleasure to work with. We simply could not have asked for a better working experience, nor a more perfect wedding. Thank you, Crissey Farm. This was the most beautiful day of our entire lives, and the memories at your beautiful venue will forever glow warmly in the hearts of everyone who attended.

Look no further for the perfect Rustic Berkshires Wedding!!!

We searched for over a year for our wedding venue, but kept finding there was a major disconnect. Mainly, we noticed how many venues made us feel like we were unimportant, with strict rules and limited opportunities to make it our own. However, from the very beginning, Crissey Farm understood and supported our vision. For instance, we really wanted long tables for the reception, which was a problem elsewhere, but Crissey Farm was more than happy to accommodate without additional fees. The food was incredible, the open bar was amazing, and we had so much fun! (We even were able to have a great after- party next door!)
