Where to Get Married in New England | These 4 New England Wedding Venues Are Absolute Gems
Planning a wedding in New England means access to some of the most gorgeous coastal venues. As a wedding photographer and videographer who documents love all across the region, I’ve seen how the right location can elevate the entire wedding day experience—not just for you and your guests, but in every single photo.
Here are four of my favorite New England wedding venues that consistently deliver gorgeous backdrops, beautiful lighting and memorable moments.
1. Holiday Hill Day Camp – Mansfield, Connecticut
Don’t let “day camp” fool you—Holiday Hill is a hidden gem that's both laid back and deeply personal. This venue is a beautifully rustic and nature-filled spot that's perfect for couples who want an outdoorsy celebration.
Why it’s amazing for photos:
Set on 200+ acres of fields, forests and rolling hills
Beautiful natural lighting
Rustic vibes with elegant touches (perfect for boho or naturey weddings)
A huge event tent that seats up to 300 people
Entertainment all day and night with basketball courts, playgrounds, badminton courts, horseshoe pits and other activities
This venue is ideal for couples who want an authentic New England outdoor wedding without the formality of a ballroom—but with just as much charm.
2. Red Jacket Beach Resort – Cape Cod, Massachusetts
If you've ever dreamed of a beach wedding, Red Jacket Beach Resort offers incredible coastal New England vibes. Located right on the shores of Nantucket Sound, this Cape Cod gem offers a relaxed elegance that’s hard to beat.
Why I love photographing here:
Oceanfront ceremonies
Sunset portraits with that golden Cape Cod glow
Classic, vibrant hydrangeas in bloom
Great variety: from beachy barefoot moments to elegant ballroom shots
Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a larger celebration, Red Jacket offers the perfect mix of seaside serenity and upscale resort amenities
3. Point Breeze – Webster, Connecticut
Overlooking Lake Chaubunagungamaug (yes, that’s the real name!), Point Breeze offers a scenic, waterfront wedding experience without the Cape Cod crowds.
Photography highlights:
Waterfront ceremonies with shimmering lake views
Indoor reception space with panoramic windows and natural light
Great spot for drone shots of the venue and lake
This venue has a cozy, almost destination-wedding feel while being easily accessible from central Massachusetts, Rhode Island and northern Connecticut.
4. Lakeview Pavilion – Foxborough, Massachusetts
Lakeview Pavilion is one of those rare venues that perfectly balances modern elegance with natural beauty. Nestled by a serene lake and surrounded by woods, it’s a dream location for couples who want a more upscale aesthetic without sacrificing nature.
Why it's a dream:
Elegant indoor reception space with white-on-white décor and high ceilings
Floor to ceiling windows for gorgeous natural light
Picture-perfect reflections on the lake at dusk
Excellent year-round venue—stunning in every season
Lakeview Pavilion is a top choice for couples looking for a chic, contemporary venue with clean backdrops, timeless style, and great lighting options no matter the weather.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right wedding venue isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about atmosphere, emotion and storytelling.
Each of these New England locations offers something truly special: the kind of light, scenery and energy that lets real moments unfold naturally.
My approach is documentary and heartfelt, focusing on the in-between moments, genuine laughter and the quiet glances you’ll want to remember forever. Whether it's a breezy lakeside ceremony or a sun-drenched Cape Cod beach, I'll capture it all in a way that feels cinematic, warm and like you.
