Love deserves a setting as timeless as the bond it celebrates. A summer elopement offers a beautiful escape in a season filled with warmth, beauty, and possibilities. Nestled within the Berkshire mountains, the Devonfield Inn is an intimate and unforgettable destination for an elopement.
Our historic bed and breakfast offers lovely countryside views and modern elegance, making it the perfect place to plan your storybook wedding.
Choose the Right Location
Finding the right location for your special day is more than just a pretty scenic view — it’s about choosing a place that speaks to you. The Berkshires have rolling meadows, mountains, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like time has slowed down just for you and the one you love.
More than just a backdrop you see on Pinterest, this location invites you to live in the moment. You may wander hand in hand down a quiet trail or pause to soak in the sun filtering through the trees. Perhaps you’ll be drawn to a secluded garden bursting with color or an open meadow where the sky stretches endlessly; the landscape becomes part of your love story, setting the stage for a day that feels entirely your own.
Summer is one of the best times to visit the Berkshires, and visitors can take in the view of many waterfalls and vistas it has to offer. After your ceremony, you could plan on spending a quiet day visiting the Berkshires Botanical Garden, where you can admire more of nature’s beautiful bounty.
Plan Your Ceremony with Intention
Your ceremony should reflect the love you share. Think about what feels right for you as a couple — an intimate exchange of vows with the soft grass beneath your feet or cozy moment by the fireplace, creating a warm, personal sanctuary where every detail feels just as you imagined.
Work with a wedding planner who helps you focus on the details. Small touches matter — an exchange of vows, a song that brings back a favorite memory, or a quiet, peaceful place that makes your ceremony unique to you. Focus on what makes you feel connected, and let that guide your choices.
The Perfect Summer Elopement Setting
Summer has a way of making everything feel effortless. A Berkshires elopement in the summer has a certain charm — days are longer, the air carries more warmth, flowers are in full bloom, trees offer just the right amount of shade, and the sky is painted in soft pastels just as the sun dips below the horizon creating an undeniable sense of endless possibility.
Choose a setting for your ceremony and honeymoon that is memorable. Devonfield Inn is an estate with 32 rolling acres of gardens and manicured lawns. There are multiple scenic locations to exchange your vows, like our white birch tree alcove. Outdoor ceremonies are full of natural beauty, with a backdrop that charms rather than overwhelms.
In the perfect setting, the laughter between you feels unhurried, the golden hour in the early evening lingers a little longer, and time seems to stretch in the best way possible. After the ceremony, take a moment to breathe it all in together — enjoy the beauty of the day, and the joy of knowing this is just the beginning of your forever.
Stroll the grounds with your photographer after the ceremony to capture timeless moments. Feel the stillness, the quiet joy of knowing this moment is yours. The celebration will continue, but this is a pause worth remembering — one that will stay with you long after the day draws to a close.
Enjoy Exceptional Accommodations
Make your destination elopement special with thoughtful accommodations that enhance your experience. Begin your mornings with our delightful country breakfast in the main dining room or the charming three-season sunroom. Enjoy a carefully curated selection of two hot entrées—both sweet and savory—along with a buffet of home-baked goods, fresh fruit salad, and more.
We are dedicated to making your special day even more beautiful by accommodating you and your guests in one of our cottages, ensuring a personalized experience. Couples can also take advantage of officiating or photography services and select from various scenic locations on-site for their ceremony, making every moment uniquely theirs.
Say Yes to Forever
The perfect summer elopement isn’t about the size of the celebration or the amount of guests and invitations but the depth of the love it honors. This intimate, romantic setting is the ideal place for couples ready to begin their next chapter. Let us help you plan your forever because your love deserves nothing less.
