A Perfect NYE Wedding at The Hotel Northampton!

We had our wedding at the Hotel Northampton on New Year’s Eve (12/31/24), and it truly could not have been more unforgettable. From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely flawless. My wife, our families, and all of our friends had an amazing time, and we are still hearing from guests about how beautiful and fun the night was.

The hotel itself is elegant, timeless, and full of charm. It provided the perfect backdrop for a romantic winter wedding, and having everything under one roof made it incredibly convenient for us and our guests.

A huge shoutout to the entire staff, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. In particular, Ruby Meng was outstanding—her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care made the planning process seamless and stress-free. She was a joy to work with and made us feel completely supported every step of the way.

All of the recommended vendors were top-notch and worked together beautifully. The hotel’s attention to detail and coordination helped everything come together without a hitch.

If you’re considering Hotel Northampton for your wedding or any special event, do not hesitate. It’s a beautiful venue with a stellar team that truly delivers unforgettable experiences.

Thank you again to everyone at Hotel Northampton for helping us ring in the new year as newlyweds in the most incredible way possible!

Perfect Wedding Spot

Such an amazing spot to have a wedding! Carly the venue coordinator was amazing to work with and helped us plan our dream wedding. The day went very smooth thanks to Carly and all the Staff. The food and drinks were excellent and the ballroom setup/decor was beautiful. We received many compliments from our guests on the night. The hotel has many great spots to take photos too. The Hotel Northampton was a perfect place to hold our wedding, thank you!

You’ll feel so special

Ruby was our lifesaver! Our first venue unexpectedly decided to go up for sale which left us scrambling to find a place that we loved. From our first meeting Ruby’s calm demeanor made us feel welcome and secured. Every meeting thereafter was always informative and she really worked with our schedules and questions. The day of she made sure we stayed close to our schedule and was always very responsive in all emails and phone calls leading up to the big day. The packages that the hotel has was very easy to understand and the vendors that they work with are incredible at their craft and everyone truly loves what they do!

A perfect wedding celebration

My husband and I truly loved every minute of our wedding at The Hotel Northampton. The food was awesome and so many people complimented us on the food and environment. The staff was perfect and Carly was amazing at coordinating all of the details. We had 150 people and they fit very well in the ballroom and the décor was beautiful and did not require too much extra decorating or lighting. We would highly recommend this venue for a wedding or large gathering to family, friends, and anyone else in need of a wonderful event space. Thank you so much!!

Best Place to hold a wedding EVER!

I’m so very grateful that the bride and groom decided to choose this wonderful place! It really was beautiful. The charming details, the warmth and old-fashioned luxury, a sense of history. While at the same time, down to earth, warm and welcoming. We slept great, we enjoyed all the food (breakfast at the restaurant, the wedding meal). The staff was courteous and efficient. Carly Heath was stupendous--keeping us informed about each of the decisions on the way, and helping us meet our goals. It was really nice to be able to taste everything at the yearly bridal event, and choose that special cake. It was particularly convenient that our ceremony was walking distance away (First Churches). There’s lots to do in the Northampton area, and the guests who came from afar really enjoyed themselves. Spot on! Couldn’t ask for more! Just so pleased.

Exceptional Venue!

The Hotel Northampton and Ruby Meng are an amazing team. They made the wedding process for us so seamless even with a postponement for the pandemic which was no easy task. Working with Ruby gave us such confidence for our big day. Ruby was always available to keep us updated or answer any questions. We had several meetings throughout the two year process and she was always honest with us as she helped us navigate what to do. She also gave great honest advice when it came to planning the final details. Coming from someone who knew everything the Hotel Northampton had to offer best, it was so helpful.

The Hotel Northampton was also very accommodating to anything we asked. Ruby always took the time to look into it and never let us down as she figured out how to incorporate everything.

This seamless process continued right to the big day. From handling all our decorations and welcome bags to putting on the perfect evening for our guests, their service is unmatched. Their wedding packages have so much to offer that many venues will itemize but here they have a level of service they want to deliver and it ensures an absolutely elegant evening. All our guests were so impressed which was so exciting to hear.

Behind the scenes was no different, Ruby had everything going so perfectly there was no stress for us. We got to enjoy every moment of our wedding which was so appreciated. Ruby was truly amazing to work with.

We highly recommend Hotel Northampton!

Amazing Experience

Ruby was exceptional in every single way. She made the process so seamless for my husband and I. I was searching for a relatively inclusive venue and the Hotel was just that. Ruby made sure everything was perfect leading up to our day and that everything went perfect on our day. I would do my wedding all over again at Hotel Northampton.
