The Inn of Sophistication
Holds ceremonies and receptions
AWARD WINNER (9X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Located in Sterling, MA, the Chocksett Inn is a stunning hotel wedding venue. This event location blends the best of old-world charm with modern comfort. The staff at this New-England-styled venue dedicate themselves to providing world-class hospitality. They strive to give couples, and their guests every ounce of attention they require during special occasions. Our hotel tends to generate a romantic atmosphere, where elegance reigns supreme.
Despite the venue’s vintage appearance it was built in 1989. Before transforming into a wedding venue, the hotel was well known by many travelers for its upmarket accommodation. Along with a sublime event space, the in-house cuisine here is able to delight even the most refined palettes.
Couples can find a mixture of intimacy and grandeur throughout the property. The garden is an ideal space to host wedding ceremonies. Couples can make their entrance on the brick-pathway that leads beneath an archway of trees. Here they can exchange heartfelt vows in the octagonal gazebo. The Laurelwood Foyer is a sublime space to welcome your guests indoors. It features lavish furniture and a private bar making. The Laurelwood Ballroom has a guest capacity of 250 guests. This space is adorned with stylish crystal chandeliers and soaring cathedral ceilings. The smaller Sterling Room is a great space for the wedding party to use as get-ready rooms.
Chocksett Inn is available to host any type of ceremony, from religious, non-religious or interfaith, proudly recognizing, and celebrating marriages of all kinds. The venue can facilitate rehearsal dinners, where the in-house catering unit can curate a menu that is designed to whet the appetite. The upmarket dining services are included with the various wedding package options available to couples. Couples can make use of the venue’s arrangement of exquisite decor, and rental equipment. These items can include the likes of tables, linens, glassware, and flatware. The administration is proud to recommend to couples a list of their suggested vendors, who have proven to be valuable, and reliable resources. Guests who plan on staying over can benefit from acquiring any of the modern accommodations. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are also available, and WiFi can be used throughout the venue.

We do not have enough words to describe how wonderful the Chocksett Inn is! The garden is beautiful and provided the perfect space for our cocktail hour. The ballroom was spacious ...
and the attached hotel was perfect for our guests to stay for the whole weekend! Tianna and her staff were beyond amazing. Throughout the whole process she was only an email away answering all my questions within an hour. The week of our wedding Tianna was available at our convenience to drop off our decorations and to go over our vision. Even with the little time we spent talking over everything we had brought, Tianna captured our vision perfectly. She was open to all our ideas for the day, including setting up a full karaoke machine in the downstairs bar for the after party. As the bride I did not have to worry about a single thing the day of our wedding because Tianna and her team were on it. They set up and packed up everything, even made sure we had a box of cannoli's to take home when we spent too long on the dance floor and missed our cannoli bar. At the end of a long day we were able to walk 2 mins to our bedroom where we found all our flowers, gifts, and a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for us. We had the most perfect day at the Chocksett Inn and highly recommend you consider having your perfect day here!

We absolutely loved getting married at The Chocksett Inn! From the planning process to the staff, the food, and the hotel rooms, everything exceeded our expectations and gave us th...
e best experience we could have asked for. One of the biggest highlights was having everything in one place — the ceremony, reception, and after-party — and being able to have our family and close friends stay at the inn with us afterward made it even more special.
Tianna was truly exceptional. She went above and beyond for us, catered to every detail, and patiently answered our millions of emails in a timely fashion. We were blown away by how beautifully she and the staff decorated the ballroom during the Christmas season, incorporating the decorations we brought and truly making our Hallmark Christmas wedding dream come true.
We also got to know the bartenders and waitstaff during our visits leading up to the wedding, and they were absolutely amazing every time. By the end of it all, we genuinely felt like part of the Chocksett family — and we’re honestly sad it’s over! We will definitely be stopping by the restaurant just to see familiar faces and enjoy the delicious food and drinks again.
We couldn’t recommend this venue more highly!

The Chocksett Inn was THE most wonderful, beautiful and accommodating place and experience for our wedding! We dreamt of having all of our wedding events within one space, and the ...
Chocksett Inn allowed us to achieve that. From rehearsal to rehearsal dinner, bridal suites and getting ready on site, indoor and outdoor wedding day accommodations, overnight stay at the Inn for all guests, and brunch the next morning! The Chocksett staff and service was outstanding, and we owe everything to our dream wedding coordinator, Tianna. She was THE most genuine, helpful, and efficient wedding coordinator I could dream of working with. We are so grateful to her for helping us every step of the way, and helping to accommodate our dream wedding weekend. With as many couples and clients she has on her schedule, Tianna is prompt and caring, and makes you feel like number one. She was always there to help answer and curate every question and vision we had!
The Chocksett Inn is truly a lovely place, and well equipped to create your dream wedding weekend! We are forever grateful and look forward to visiting on our anniversary!
Thank you so much to the Chocksett Inn!

The venue itself was the perfect fit for us. Having our after-party right in the hotel tavern was such a fun and convenient addition, and being able to stay onsite made the whole day feel seamless and extra special. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be, and we can’t recommend this venue enough.

I can’t stop talking about how wonderful everything was.

uly are the best wedding coordinators. Tianna was who we talked to the most with planning and coordinating - she was timely with all emails and so patient / kind. Kristen was like a day of wedding coordinator who was ALWAYS asking us what we needed and helping out wherever the day of. We also had AMAZING bartenders and wait staff who all went above and beyond to make this experience incredible. Also, the rooms we stayed in were so big and very clean. I truly couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding reception and all our guests loved it too!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!

were so accommodating!! We had a lot of personalized things and they took care of everything for us and had us drop everything off the week before which was a big stress relief! Between the servers and bartenders, everything ran super smoothly we never saw a long line at the bar and dinner ran seamlessly. The food was just as good as every tasting we went to. Which is a big deal, this food is next level. Also this is one of the few inn that is staffed 24/7. The beds were comfy. I actually slept the night before my wedding. My mom slept on my couch. We didn't bother making it into a pull-out and she said it was super comfy too. I had 5 people getting ready with me plus a makeup artist and a hair stylist and the room was very comfortable. Literally my only complaint is is that the rooms could have a bit more lighting especially in the bridal suite but they do have a getting ready room with better lighting that you can get for a small fee

The Chocksett Inn was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The entire process was seamless, and the week of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing because...
they took care of EVERYTHING. From the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner to the after-party and all the details in between, the team went above and beyond to make our day perfect.
Tianna was an absolute rock star! Everyone told me to expect that something would go wrong on the wedding day—but not with Tianna running the show! If anything did go wrong, we had no idea because she and the staff were so on top of their game, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
The food was absolutely delicious! Multiple guests came up to us afterward to say it was some of the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. And it wasn’t just delicious—it was served hot, which is a rarity at big events like this.
Therusa and Paula, the bartenders, were amazing—not only serving drinks flawlessly but also joining us for karaoke at the after-party, which was such a fun and memorable touch! Kristen was incredible as well, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the wedding and even surprising us by having dessert from our dessert bar waiting in our room when we got back.
If you’re considering having your wedding here, DO IT. You will not regret it. The staff, the service, the food, and the attention to detail were all absolutely top-notch. It was truly the wedding of our dreams, and we owe so much of that to this amazing venue and their incredible team!

om our rehearsal dinner to our after party. I really wanted to get married somewhere where guests didn’t have to travel after the reception to get back to a hotel and the Chocksett was the perfect option. Tianna the coordinator was phenomenal to work with and very organized. She made every request I had a reality to turn the wedding into the one of my dreams. The whole day went off without a hitch, and she was there through the entire planning process until the reception ended. She even tolerated daily emails from me for the whole month leading up to the wedding! The ceremony and reception spaces are stunning, the rooms are lovely, and the food was delicious. I would highly, highly recommend the Chocksett to anyone looking for an all in one classic wedding venue!

I honestly could write a novel about our great experience with The Chocksett Inn, and Tianna specifically. From the beginning, Tianna was easy to work with, communicative, and so k...
ind! She walked us through the entire process and was there to answer (and re-answer) all of my questions along the way. Not only does she represent the venue, but also acts as your day-of coordinator. I had asked if I needed to hire someone for this, and she assured me it would be all set. Boy was she right. The day of my wedding didn't go as expected (rain among other things) but she was attentive and ready for any curveballs. You would never have known that an inside ceremony wasn't Plan A. It was a day-of pivot that went seamlessly and beautifully. Tianna is truly so wonderful!
In terms of the venue itself, we were so happy with our choice. The Chocksett has a lot of things included in their wedding package, their catering and accommodations are on site, and you can do the rehearsal dinner in the restaurant the night before (which we did!). This made it so much easier to keep everything organized, and our guests enjoyed the ability to stay on-site. If you do get good weather, the courtyard area is so pretty for a ceremony. Our cocktail hour and reception were great as well! We had about 100 guests, but I believe it could hold a lot more.
Thank you for everything, Tianna & The Chocksett Inn Team!

e 2nd one we saw and we knew as soon as we walked in it was the one for us. The ceremony space outside is beautiful and the reception area inside is so elegant (which we originally didn’t want but ended up loving). Tianna was also so helpful from the very beginning which made the decision of choosing the Chocksett even easier. She answered the many questions I had very quickly and it was very reassuring to have someone there a long the way since planning a wedding is so stressful. Once the day came we had a mishap with our JP and Tianna and her team went out of their way to find us a new one within minutes. No one at the ceremony could even tell that we had just met the new JP seconds from walking down the aisle. I really can’t say enough good things about the Chocksett staff. Our wedding was absolutely amazing thanks to them and would 100% recommend the chocksett to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

if you are looking for a venue for your wedding. I have covered three weddings there in the past few years and each time the staff left me highly impressed. The staff is top notch. All three times I worked weddings there, the room prep, the serving and quality of the food, as well as the service was amazing and on schedule. Additionally the venue has a very sophisticated, contemporary, look to it that would compliment any style wedding. Finally there are facilities there so that you can have your bridal party get ready there, have your ceremony, and your reception all in one spot. Be sure to check out the secluded grassy Gazebo area, it is amazing for pictures!

hat makes The Chocksett Inn so special is that it becomes your own private getaway! With limited hotel rooms (yet enough to hold your friends and family) it allowed us to have the entire Inn to our group and bring that intimate feeling people look for. We enjoyed our rehearsal dinner there the previous night as well in the Cellar Grill located on site. You will not find a better menu. I repeat, you will not find a better menu! The food was just amazing and so many of our guests continue to talk about their meals to this day.
The entire staff goes above and beyond to help guide you through the day and allow you to take it all in without the stress that goes along with it. Tianna and her team are unmatched in professionalism, and the exact team you want on your side during your big day! If we could enjoy it all over again we would not change a thing! Looking forward to celebrating our anniversary here every year!

This venue is amazing!! Our wedding was on April 29th 2023 and it was a dream. Tianna was wonderful, extremely professional and a true pleasure to work with. She and the staff have...
everything down to a science and thought of every last detail throughout the planning as well as on the day of. We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone! The space is perfect, we loved having the separate spaces as options for my ladies and I to get ready as well as a separate room for the groomsmen. The ballroom is absolutely stunning…Tianna and her staff, with the help of our private decorator, made sure it was all set up exactly how we wanted it. The house keeping manager and staff were SPECTACULAR and so helpful with little things I needed that day! We cannot say enough about all of the staff there.
One of the downsides for me, to no fault of anyone, was that we very much wanted to be able to have the ceremony outside in the garden. The weather did not allow for this unfortunately, but they made sure the set up inside was absolutely beautiful. There was a mix up with the communication about the final call of it being inside or outside but it all ended up working out. Because of the weather not cooperating we weren’t able to do many outside photos or videos, but we did get some very cute and romantic shots with some clear umbrellas the photographer brought!
I’d say the only reason we didn’t rate a full five stars (I would do 4.5/5 if it was an option!) was due to some break downs in communication and some issues related to the after party. My husband and I didn’t get down to it early enough. Our guests were playing music too loudly and were asked to turn it down so the party ended up breaking up and we didn’t get it take part in it at all or be there to encourage people to continue with the music lower. We did not know about noise level limitations or other rules so it unfortunately ended up being a waste. Definitely understand this was partly on our guests as well, we just wish we knew the rules beforehand so we could have planned better.
Overall, I would book this venue again in a second!! Just probably in a less rainy month so nature or any acts of God are less likely to affect us ;)

Congratulations! If you've landed on this page, that means you've found your wedding venue. I mean that 100% seriously, look no further. Everything about Chocksett is phenomenal, f...
rom the amazing staff and tasty food to the on-site accommodations and beautiful ballroom, everything is perfect. Wedding planning can be stressful, especially for those of us who got engaged during the height of the pandemic as well as those who recently got engaged but are dealing with backlog from couples who pushed their weddings out, make it a million times easier on yourself by booking the Chocksett Inn as your venue. Tianna and her team are incredibly helpful leading up to and on the day of the event. I couldn't have asked for a better person to have by our side helping us make decisions. I have no idea how she gives such amazing one-on-one attention to everyone who books, but she does and she's incredible at it. From helping us choose napkins to figuring out how to bustle my gown, I'm so glad she was a part of our special day.
The front desk staff makes it easy for your guests to book their rooms, the bartenders are friendly and so talented (they even remembered some of our guests drink orders by the end of the night!) and the waitstaff is extremely accommodating and speedy, which we appreciated as we wanted to get everyone out on the dance floor as quickly as possible!
The one thing my husband and I wanted from a venue was on-site accommodations, which can be surprisingly difficult to find in Central Massachusetts! Chocksett's rooms are clean, spacious, and unique. It's the perfect size and was so nice to know that anyone we ran into in the hallway was a part of our wedding. We are still receiving compliments on the food and have been told by more than one guest that they've already been back to the Chocksett Cellar Grille since our wedding (BONUS: you can book a stay to celebrate your anniversary or go to the Grille for dinner when you want to relive your special day).

The Chocksett is an awesome venue. The outdoor Ceremony space is a private area surrounded by beautiful greenery and plenty of space for guests. The inside space is just as stunnin...
g with a large Ballroom and classy cocktail hour space. The Chocksett also has separate space for the groom and bridal party to get ready, which is really nice when you have hair, make-up, photographers and other vendors coming in.
Tianna, the wedding planner at the venue is THE BEST! She truly listens to your wants and delivers on every detail. Our wedding planning went smoothly with her support and vendor referrals. It was wonderful to feel confident that our special our day would be taking care of and be amazing for both us and our guest. We are truly appreciative of all the work Tianna and her team put in. We wouldn't have changed a thing!

Where does one even begin with the Chocksett Inn. Let’s just say we saw a few other venues and when we met Tianna (wedding coordinator) she blew us away with the ease of everythin...
g. She was always available when needed, responded in such a timely manner, effortlessly answered every question. She brought our simple sparkle theme to life. I was able to drop items off and the team took are of everything. My vision was flawless! The bridal suite(spiral stair case/two floor suite)/conference room I highly recommend for getting ready. Conference room is spacious and on site and bridal suite is ideal for a Bride/Bridesmaids to get ready and take those fun Bridal party pix. There is also a room for Groomsmen to add those finishing touches. The outdoor Gazebo/Ceremony area is private. We did our first look down the aisle and were we able to take some private pictures before our guest arrived. Our guest were pleasantly surprised of our secret little area to say our “I Do’s.” Our food was flavorful and filling between the served apps and seated dinner. The guest were raving! We also provided our guest with an after party in the restaurant downstairs with unbelievable snacks before they headed to their rooms.
I do not have any regrets with this one stop venue. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! They made our day perfect. Forever thankful and grateful!!

I could not speak more highly of The Chocksett! I had my wedding there on July 2nd and it felt like a dream. Tiana was so helpful and making sure every detail was how I wanted it t...
o be and the whole day ran smoothly. The garden and gazebo space was beautiful for pictures, the bridal suite was amazing, the ballroom was absolutely perfect, and the after party was a blast!! I had a fantastic experience and everyone there talked about how amazing the Chocksett was!! It was a wedding to remember and everyone would agree the Chocksett played a big part in that. THANK YOU to everyone at the Chocksett who made my wedding everything I ever dreamed of. I am so beyond grateful.

From the very beginning we fell in love with everything about the Chocksett Inn. We knew right away that the aesthetics were exactly what we were looking for. The garden space is b...
eautifully manicured. The ballroom and pre-function spaces are sleek and modern and provide an elegant city feel within a more rural setting. While we didn’t ultimately host our ceremony in the garden due to inclement weather, the ballroom back up space still produced a very intimate ceremony and allowed our photographers and videographers to use the garden without chairs or anything in frame. During our initial site meeting Tianna made us feel welcome and confident in the venue’s ability to meet our expectations and deliver the perfect day for us. Tianna was extremely patient and understanding when we were delayed with our decision making due to COVID infections and once we formally booked she was very responsive to any of our communications. She assisted in the planning process and was quick to provide us with answers to questions, additional quotes, recommendations or anything else that we needed. Her attentiveness during the entire process including the wedding weekend itself is unparalleled and hard to find in this industry. The entire staff did a wonderful job executing the event the way that we had planned it. We continuously hear from our guests how much they enjoyed the venue, the food, the service and the entire experience.
Some specifics about our wedding details: We did not host our rehearsal dinner on site although this is an option at the Cellar Grille. We were provided with a complimentary suite the night of the wedding and during our final drop off appointment Tianna informed us that the suite was also available the night prior. We were able to book this for an additional cost. This allowed early access to the bridal suite and adjoining conference room which was perfect for bridal hair and makeup. Otherwise you can book just the adjoining conference room starting at 7am but may not have access to that particular suite until they can get it cleaned after checkout. There are two bridal suites to choose from - one on the first floor with a spiral staircase and a loft bedroom (this has the adjoining conference room) and one in the second floor with a fireplace and hot tub in the room. You can pick either one for your complimentary night. As part of the contract you are given a room block. The venue has 27 room so depending on the size of your wedding you will definitely need additional room blocks. They leave a few rooms outside of your block (I believe they provide 20 rooms out of the 27 rooms) but because we provided additional room blocks at nearby hotels with busses we did not fill up the block anyways. This venue hosts a group menu tasting in lieu of a private menu tasting. While a little less personal it did provide a nice way to meet some of their preferred vendors. We ended up booking our DJ because of the experience with him at the tasting. The room rental is for a 5 hour block. You can pay to extend this or you can host an after party in the Cellar Grille which is what we chose to do. There was an additional rental fee for this ($500) and the ability to have catered food available as well. We did not offer a breakfast the following day but they also can accommodate this if you wish. Having the ability to keep everything contained in one location is a huge plus as it makes the logistics of the day so much easier.

If I could give all the stars to Tianna and the incredible crew at the Chocksett Inn, I would! From the moment we toured, we knew it was going to be our venue. The outdoor garden a...
rea is quaint and gorgeous, the newly renovated cocktail area is absolutely beautiful, and the classic ballroom was the perfect spot for our live band and an amazing night on the dance floor.
From day 1, Tianna was such a pro - she took the time to sit with us at our initial appointment and even priced out different options for us depending on the various packages we were able to choose from (we were even able to customize what made the most sense for our day). Tianna was always so calm and kind, from the initial planning leading up to the wedding, and especially on the day of when I was so nervous! Her and her staff made sure the day went so perfect and smooth and we truly could not have asked for a more perfect venue than the Chocksett Inn.
The food was INCREDIBLE! Everyone kept coming up to us at the wedding saying how delicious everything was. The wait staff were friendly and attentive, and truly we had ZERO complaints from start to finish. Also, the rooms were clean, large, and the wedding suite we stayed in has its own little porch and outdoor entrance - perfect for the night. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this place.
We want to go back to the day and do it all over again! If you are looking for a venue with onsite ceremony, reception and overnight stay with wonderful staff, food, and atmosphere, don't hesitate to book here!

The Chocksett Inn in Sterling was the perfect location for our wedding. It felt like it was tucked away in a quiet location and peace surrounded us. We first noticed the parking sp...
ace and there was alot of it. The building itself gave off a quaint feel from the outside but the inside was far more modern. The gazebo garden is tucked away and allows for a very private ceremony. The Foyer and Ballroom allowed for an elegant and amazing cocktail hour and reception. Both areas are very big and can accommodate a large guest list. One of our favorite parts of the venue is the fact that would could do everything onsite including renting rooms for our guest to spend the night.
The staff at the Chocksett were absolutely amazing. Tianna who is the wedding coordinator was fabulous from day 1. We understood that she had alot of other weddings that she also had to work on, but she still crushed it whenever we had questions and always returned our emails and calls. The staff at the Chocksett (Chefs, Front desk, Bartenders, Servers etc.) went over and beyond anything we expected. The backup help for Tianna on our wedding day were friendly and attentive. Our entire wedding day was so much better because of how well the Chocksett staff did to ensure that not just the wedding party felt welcomed but all of the guest felt the same way.
In closing, we would like to thank everyone at the Chocksett Inn for making our day so memorable and truly special. We cannot wait to come back for our Anniversary Dinners and if anyone asks us for recommendations on wedding venues, The Chocksett Inn will be at the very top of the List.
Thank you from Christian & Courtney - Wedding date: June 17th-2022

We just had our wedding 6/3/22 at the Chocksett and we cannot say enough about how amazing this venue is! We wanted to have our ceremony, reception and afterparty in one location a...
nd the Chocksett allowed all of that to happen. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and rooms for guests clean and updated. Tianna and her team were with us the whole way from touring to booking to walking down the aisle and were able to answer all of our questions and assist with our wedding day timeline and details! The food was amazing and our guests continue to rave about how good it was. Every single detail I could think of was tended to including special accommodations we had requested and I am so thankful that we had our wedding at the Chocksett. Do not think twice about checking this place out! Highly recommend!

I had a dream wedding and the Chocksett inn team was responsible for making this day memorable. I would like to point out that I visited around 12 venues between Ma and RI and none...
of them I had fallen in love with. but as we had already been to several places, we decided that we would choose one anyway. That's when I saw the Chocksett inn and fell in love. I fell in love so much that I went as fast as possible to see if that place was really beautiful as I saw in the photos. When we got there, it was love at first sight. not only for the divine location, but also for Tianna who throughout the process was very helpful and made me feel like the only bride she was working with. I am Brazilian and my husband is American. And I made sure that some things from my culture were included in my wedding and they were extremely flexible with me. I think that was the most important thing for me because of all the places I visited, they were the ones that exceeded all my expectations. my guests can't stop talking about how perfect everything was and how wonderful the food was! I had my rehearsal dinner there too and it was a dream! All that i ever wanted! thanks to Tianna and all her team for helping me make a dream come true.
