A relaxed, scenic place to gather

New Salem Cider offers a rustic, welcoming setting for weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, birthday parties, family gatherings, and other private events. Set on a historic 1750s homestead and working orchard in New Salem, Massachusetts, the cidery is ideal for people who want something beautiful, personal, and a little off the beaten path.

Our space is best suited for intimate, nature-forward events with a relaxed atmosphere—think orchard views, cider in hand, golden-hour photos, and a celebration that feels warm rather than overly formal.

Perfect for:

  • Intimate weddings

  • Rehearsal dinners

  • Welcome parties

  • Bridal and baby showers

  • Birthday parties

  • Family reunions

  • Small company gatherings

  • Community events

The Setting

Host your event among heirloom apple trees, open fields, and views across the Quabbin Valley. Guests can enjoy the relaxed feel of a working cidery while still having a beautiful, memorable backdrop for photos, mingling, and celebrating.

The property has a distinctly New England feel: historic, rural, scenic, and unpolished in the best way.

Weddings at the Orchard

New Salem Cider is a natural fit for couples looking for a wedding that feels personal, relaxed, and connected to the landscape. The orchard and grounds offer a beautiful backdrop for ceremonies, photos, cocktail-style gatherings, and tented receptions.
