The Williams Inn did an absolutely fantastic job on our wedding day. I am located more in the Saratoga NY area, but was hoping to find a true hotel/event venue so that nobody had t...
o travel far once they got to the venue. The Williams Inn fit the bill, and they had an open date (which was amazing considering I only started planning at the end of April, for a Nov 2024 wedding... so literally 6 months).
We contacted Sarah and did a site visit, and the grounds and hotel are literally stunning. I knew it would be the perfect place for our wedding. Going in with a November date, we knew that we'd either get lucky with the weather and be able to do an outdoor ceremony, or do it indoors.
We had an AMAZING tasting for the wedding... seriously, their onsite chef is out of this world. Truly understands flavors and how to elevate even a simple dish. It made it SO hard to narrow down the choices for both passed hors d'oeuvres and the salad/main entrees.. but this is a good problem to have. It was so convenient to not have to worry about hiring a separate caterer, which you could if you wanted to.. but trust me, you don't want to !
As we got closer to the day, it was definitely going to be cold and possibly raining in the morning so we decided to do the ceremony indoors. They use the ballroom for the indoor ceremonies, and the large windows served as a beautiful backdrop and allowed tons of natural light which I loved. It was a little bit cramped, as we had just over 100 guests, but that is ok. It was only for the ceremony which was shorter.
We didn't spend any extra money on extra decor and lighting or crazy complex florals, and I personally think it was a good choice. The venue itself is beautiful and because of that it really doesn't need expensive additions. We hired a local DJ and the local florist at Market 32 and both did a fantastic job with the spaces. The venue actually has a triangular arch, which was free to use. They provided table numbers for us. Again just so many less things for ME to worry about! We actually ended up getting cakes delivered from a bakery more local to us and that went off without a hitch as well! We decided to do something a little unusual, we requested a table for 3 different flavors of cake so that our guests could go up on their own and choose at their whim. Everyone loved it, and Sarah and the venue were perfect in accommodating that request for us! Everyone raved about the food, and said the cocktail hour was amazing. We unfortunately missed it all because we were taking advantage of the sunshine that opened up opportunity for us to do photos on the back area - the trail out back was also prime location for beautiful afternoon sun pictures!
Overall, I am so happy with how everything turned out and wouldn't change a thing. It is not one of your cheaper venues, but they are worth it. Sometimes communication was a little challenging but in the end literally everything got done and exceeded my expectations. Sarah and the entire team at the Williams did a phenomenal job and if you are having a smaller wedding of 100 or less, I would absolutely recommend you to use this venue. You won't regret it!
Worth noting - they do not offer a free room for the bride and groom, but I booked one of the king suites for the entire weekend and I am so glad I did. It was not cheap, but worth it. It provided a perfect place for myself and my bridesmaids to get ready and another stunning place for photos! Has an extra half bath!

The Williams Inn is beautiful and well maintained. The staff from the front desk to the restaurant and house keeping were great! The wedding itself was perfect. We even took a picture with Melissa, because she felt like a part of the family. Dinner was amazing and the restaurant staff was excited, very professional and didn’t come off as strangers. Everyone at The Williams Inn was very welcoming.
Thanks!

We got married at the Williams Inn in June. Everything was perfect. Since the remodel the venue is gorgeous and they are very flexible and considerate humans. The reception room is...
a bit modern, a bit basic looking, but there are easy things to do to make it gorgeous which we did! It was top-notch service. We had downgraded our wedding night room from the biggest suite down to save money, and they still gave it to us. I have written what happened with our cake, although it is a 3rd party it was included in the package and important to note.
Cake is typically included in your package. But at the tasting, there were no cakes or cupcakes to try. Only brownies, cookies, etc. So we chose "Simply Sweet Berkshire." We sent them photos of ideas for cakes, after several emails they sent us flavors and filling options. They never communicated with Williams Inn or us when they would drop off the cake. They left the cake at the front desk unattended. It also was basically a plain, white naked cake (No flowers like we agreed on) and when we cut into it on our wedding day, it was entirely incorrect. HOWEVER. Michelle, the banquet manager got with the chef and made it gorgeous for our day.
The newest coordinator, Melissa, is amazing. She was so attentive and kept checking in to make sure we were all set. She only started a couple months before our wedding. Someone was filling in until then who was ALSO amazing.
Wait Staff: incredibly kind and helpful. My husband and I were trying to get a head start on our cleaning for the night and we were making small talk with them, and they sent us up to our room and said they would have everything organized for us the next morning - and they did! All in all, they were perfect.

I got married at the Williams Inn this November and had the MOST amazing day!! There was a few changes in our venue coordinator throughout the process which was a little stressful ...
but since my first contact with Melissa (the current coordinator) she was EXCELLENT. And the venue made sure to honor any agreements I had made with previous coordinators even if it was something they weren't previously aware of or no longer offered.
We ended up having around 125 guests and the venue was the perfect size for that as it was VERY cold that day so everything (reception, cocktail hour, and reception) was held indoors. They let me bring all of my stuff in the day before and unpack/set up all of my DIY projects as much as possible which was a big deal for me cause I had a TON of stuff and very particular about how I wanted everything to look. But I will also say, everything that I didn't have a role in setting up like guest/welcome tables, dessert tables, etc.. the venue did AMAZING setting them up. I was absolutely blown away with how beautiful everything looked seeing my cocktail hour and reception set up for the first time. Every single hotel employee throughout the weekend was so nice and accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. So many guests just kept commenting on how nice the Inn was - especially all of the hotel rooms!
With that said, the beautiful brand new rooms does not come cheap. They only guarantee 10 block rate rooms in the initial contract and will add on rooms by request but can not guarantee anything above the 10 rooms. The block rate starts at $250 per night and there is a 2 night minimum for ALL bookings. So try to get as many block rates as you'll need and book ASAP - because the non-block rates are steep and the rooms filled up fast. And the suites (2 available) are $700 per night with the block rate so we only booked 1 then had to rent a room off the hotel bar for the guys to get ready in. Although the suite did NOT disappoint - it is huge and beautiful and perfect for a large bridal party to get ready in.
Long story short... the Williams Inn is AMAZING and did everything in their power to make sure I had the most perfect wedding weekend. I wanted a cozy weekend getaway in the Berkshires where it felt like all of my friends and family were able to kind of took over the whole place for the weekend and that is absolutely what I got. If you want your guests to stay at the Inn with you - be aware that it can get pricey and they should book early to guarantee rooms. Aside from the hotel room pricing - the rates for hosting our wedding at the inn were extremely reasonable and in my opinion, worth every penny!! My day was absolutely perfect and I recommend Williams to any future brides a million times over!

My husband and I had our wedding at The Williams Inn in April 2022 and everything went even better than we could have imagined. Megan + the team were so supportive and communicativ...
e throughout the wedding planning process and accommodated all of our special requests to make our big day special.
The hotel itself has been recently remodeled in a modern farmhouse style, perfect for brides who don't want to go completely rustic. There are so many photo opportunities at The Williams Inn (the lovely bridge, the red barn, the golf course/wooded grounds) within a 10-15 minute walk in Williamstown.
Our guests raved about the food, big portions and amazing quality, some of the best wedding food we've had to date.
We loved that our family could all stay together at The Williams Inn - they didn't have to worry about transportation and we could all maximize our time together. The hotel rooms are amazing - especially the luxurious bathrooms. There are also a number of more affordable hotel options in the area and airbnbs to suit guests' needs. There are also some great restaurants and fun attractions in the Williamstown/North Adams area making The Williams Inn the perfect location for a wedding weekend.
I highly recommend booking your wedding at The Williams Inn, you won't be disappointed!

er responsive and extremely organized. She was able to accomodate all of our requests and really helped tailor the day to be unique to our vision. Her whole staff was super friendly and very easy to work with. The venue itself is beautiful and very clean. We hosted our ceremony on the lawn behind the barn which offered a nice backdrop of trees and greenery. The lawn faces the Williams football field and track, so make sure to check the sports schedule when planning the time of your ceremony because unfortunately ours took place during a track meet and the announcer was very loud during our service. In terms of food, we were very impressed with the selection and quality of the dishes. The staff was also very focused on accommodating specific food allergies and preferences and made sure everyone was able to enjoy their meal. We also got a bunch of compliments from our guests on the cake. Everyone said it was delicious! I would highly recommend the Williams Inn for anyone looking to tie the knot in the Berkshires!

We had booked a virtual tour that had to be cancelled due to a wedding crisis - no big deal! So we rescheduled for this evening at 6pm. We got onto the provided Zoom link 5 minutes...
early and waited until 5 minutes after the scheduled time before messaging through the knot to let them know we were on and waiting. We waited another 10 minutes before sending another message that we were closing out of the zoom due to the missed appointment. 45 minutes after our scheduled time we received a message apologizing and stating they thought we had forgot because they never got a notification we were in the meeting which was odd since usually the host should log on first (and log on anyways for a scheduled appointment). It seemed like we had been forgotten about but they asked if we still had time to do a tour and we said yes and jumped back on right away. We sent three messages stating we were on and waited on the zoom for 30 minutes. Again, they never joined the call and we never received another message. Very disappointing and unprofessional. We were really excited about this venue and are bummed we didn’t even get the chance to view it.
