There are so many things to love about a New England Wedding – from breathtaking mountain views and miles of unadulterated forests to the country’s freshest seafood. History and natural beauty intertwine in the country’s oldest clearly defined region, making it a beautiful backdrop for fairytale nuptials. With snow-covered winters and picture-perfect autumns, New England offers four seasons of splendor for visitors and residents to enjoy. Before you say, ‘I do!’ to a New England wedding, take a peek at our ultimate guide to venues and things to do throughout the region.
***
New England is a Northeastern Region of the United States that consist of six states: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Bordered by New York to the West and the Atlantic Ocean to the East, New England is conveniently located among lush mountain ranges and along miles of pristine coastline.
New England is also home to various culinary staples that set it apart from the rest of the country. While New York is known as a pizza destination, New Haven, CT is infamous for its white clam pizza. Head north to Vermont and you will find the freshest, sweetest maple syrup around – tapped directly from the local maple trees. To the east in Maine is where you will find delicious cold-water lobster, which is a staple ingredient in New England lobster rolls.
When planning a New England wedding, one thing to keep in mind is the seasons. New England welcomes four lovely seasons each year: warm and sunny summers, crisp and colorful autumns, sparkling and snow-filled winters, and lush, blooming springs. No matter what time of year you plan to wed, the backdrop will guarantee to be a spectacular one.
New England is also an outdoor lover’s dream. From hiking through mountainous terrain along to babbling brooks to skiing and snowboarding on fresh white powder, there is no shortage of ways to enjoy the natural backdrop.
