We got married at the Museum on 8/10/19, we had our ceremony in the beautiful Mary Keane Chapel, cocktail hour outside the Stone Mill and reception inside the Stone Mill. We could not have picked a better place for our wedding! From the beginning we knew it was the perfect fit as it offered historical charm, multiple venues in one space, overnight accommodations, was reasonably priced and we were supporting a Museum and not just a wedding venue. Throughout the planning process the event coordinator, Anna, was beyond helpful. We were able to visit for measurements and to pick her brain whenever. She was always very organized and quick to reply in email or on the phone. The day before our wedding she helped organize a tour of the museum- a free perk if you book a room, which was a unique kick off to our wedding weekend. She was very flexible with us as we were doing a DIY wedding and allowed extended hours and access to the reception spot. During our wedding, especially the reception, she was the unsung hero. I heard from a few bridal party members after that she had picked up the pieces where things had fallen through, such as getting hot water for tea, etc. Without her the night wouldn’t have been as smooth. One of the best parts was having room for our family and bridal party to stay with us there, it let everyone really unwind and felt like a mini get away. The rooms were very spacious and made for great gathering places for getting ready and after the wedding! We were so lucky to have found this venue and to have had Anna help support us through the process! We highly recommend this venue to anyone and can’t wait to visit some of the other events they host there as well!

We rented the stone mill for our reception and had our ceremony in the chapel.

The Enfield Shaker Museum is a gorgeous historic space, that is so unique. The event coordinator Anna was incredibly helpful and flexible the whole time. The day of was a breeze.

The mill was the perfect blank slate for us to create the wedding of our dreams. It was definitely a little more work than some other venues would have been but it was 1000% worth it.

I am so grateful that we chose the Enfield Shaker Museum for our wedding. There are many reasons why: 1) The support provided by the museum's event coordinator, Anna; 2) The ability to have many of our guests stay with us onsite, which was incredibly special; 3) The beautiful and historic buildings that also happen to look amazing in photos; 4) The flexibility to choose our own vendors; 5) The fact that linens/tables/chairs/dinnerware are included if you rent the Great Stone Hall; 5) The opportunity to support a fantastic nonprofit with an important mission. Our friends and family loved the location, and one memory that I will remember for the rest of my life was walking through the hallways at night and seeing my dearest friends and family mingling, talking, and getting to know each other after the party ended--made possible because of the overnight rooms. Anna is very knowledgeable and experienced, and she worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly so we didn't need to stress. At one point, the caterer unexpectedly took away the water station and Anna saved the day by getting more water so we could keep dancing. She was also an invaluable resource during the planning process. I highly recommend the Shaker Museum as a wedding venue!
