This scenic country venue offers quiet seclusion and natural surroundings while also being conveniently located among rolling hills in central Massachusetts.

Side enclosures and gas heaters are at the ready in case the weather proves to be inclement.

Cuisine
All cuisine is prepared on-site with the guiding principle of sourcing foodstuffs locally, with the farm itself providing herbs, berries, and vegetables.

Best wedding decision we made.
Our entire wedding took place at Zukas from start to finish. When I say that I mean, hair and make-up (they have an on-site private spa), all photos for the day (their property is gorgeous), the wedding (we chose indoor but you can have outdoor or tented), the reception, and the wedding night (private bridal suite on-site). The staff set up and broke down the decorations, they even boxed them up for us to take home. Everything leading up to our wedding and on the day of was carried out so seamlessly by Zukas's staff. We didn't know what we were doing but we didn't have to! Alyson, Zukas's wedding coordinator was there every step of the way to ensure the entire day went off without a hitch and that it did. She was also there from day one and all throughout the planning process. Our wedding was better than I could have possibly imagined and our family and friends felt the same way. The food, cake and champagne were delicious which is often hard to come by at a venue but not here. Everyone raved. If you want the wedding of your dreams without the stress, pick Zukas. They will make your dreams come true.

Love Zukas Hiltop Farm. We have been luck enough to watch this facility grow over the years. A family run business is always a great thing to see. Pete and Lynn Zukas are the best! Every time we go back we see something new. From the breathtaking views to the quality of food and service. It is a favorite of ours and many a customer that have had a wedding at Zukas.
An absolutely beautiful venue, with many, many great places for photographs. Amazingly good food and a top notch staff, round this venue up to be one of our absolute favorite places to work, and recommend.
Zukas is unmatched with their beautiful surroundings, prompt service, delicious food, and overall perfect wedding venue aura. I always look forward to working at Zukas' because I know they are going to provide the service and the backdrop for a perfect wedding video here in Central Massachusetts.
