All of our guests said the food was amazing!! And I totally agree. We had to change many things about our wedding due to COVID, but Chelsea and Gary at Crissey Farm STILL managed to give me the best day of my life! They made sure everyone was socially distanced, brought out the food (covered) so that everyone's meal was kept safe from air and germs, and played all of our music (first dance, parents dance) since I couldn't have a dance floor or DJ. Chelsea made it all happen and it seemed effortless! (But I know it took a lot of hard work.) They followed all the guidelines to provide safety, but also managed to keep a fun and loving atmosphere. I'm sure they do an even better job when we aren't in the middle of a global pandemic. So blessed they still hosted my tiny wedding, we greatly appreciate it.

Beautiful Venue & Professional, Caring Owners
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we cannot vouch for how delicious the food is here, but the many other glowing reviews should suffice. Even though the pandemic interrupted our Summer 2020 wedding plans at Crissey Farm, we feel our experience with Gary and Chelsea is just as important to share as those who were lucky enough to actually get married there.
Due to the pandemic and ongoing restrictions, our wedding at Crissey Farm could not occur the way we had envisioned it and for personal reasons postponing was not an option for us. While the conversation we had with Gary and Chelsea about cancelling our event was heartbreaking, we feel the agreement we reached was more than fair. More importantly, our experience with Crissey Farm, versus the horror stories we’ve heard from many others, highlights their strong moral character and professionalism. Despite all the hardships faced by their business due to the pandemic, it was clear they still had our best interest in mind. For such an important (and expensive) day, trusting that your venue runs their business with your best interests in mind is invaluable. While our day at Crissey Farm wasn't meant to be, we would recommend this venue to anyone without hesitation.

Dream wedding!
We had an amazing experience working with the team at Crissey Farm to make our wedding a reality. The space is beautiful, and thanks to Chelsea and her team we were able to do a unique seating arrangement. I can't say enough about how delicious the food was and all of our guests commented on it. We had certain aspects of our ceremony and guest list that were unique (including individuals who were mobility impaired) and the space was so accommodating and inviting for all. In terms of convenience for a Berkshires wedding you can't beat Crissey. Right in downtown Great Barrington which has many attractions and amenities for your guests and close to local lodging. Honestly can't say enough about how wonderful this venue is and the excellent experience we had there.
