As we step into 2025, the Berkshires remain a coveted destination for weddings and events, because of its natural beauty and charm. At Classical Tents and Party Goods, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve to ensure your celebration is nothing short of extraordinary. Here’s a sneak peek into the top event trends for the coming year and how our region’s finest venues and Berkshires event vendors can help bring your vision to life.

1. Sustainable Celebrations

Eco-conscious events are no longer a trend—they’re the standard. Couples and event planners are prioritizing sustainability by:

Using reusable or biodegradable decor.
Partnering with local farm-focused catering, like Heirloom Catering
Renting quality, reusable items such as tents, linens, and tableware. Ask us about our sustainable options, including eco-friendly materials for your next event.

2. Intimate Outdoor Settings

Outdoor events in the Berkshires allow you to take in the beauty of the region. Clients continually seek venues that embrace the picturesque landscapes. Tented events allow for both elegance and flexibility, making them a perfect choice for locations such as these Berkshire event venues:

The Mount, Edith Wharton’s Home (Lenox): A historic site with expansive gardens perfect for outdoor ceremonies and receptions. See an example of a wedding we did at this venue here.
Tanglewood (Lenox): Iconic for its lush grounds and world-class views, offering ample space for a tented celebration.
Hancock Shaker Village (Pittsfield): Features historic buildings, vibrant herb gardens, farms, and sweeping views of the mountains.
Winbrooke (Tyringham): Experience utmost privacy & luxury with the stunning elegance of a French Chateau-inspired estate.

These venues provide ample opportunities to create unforgettable experiences under a tented canopy.

While neutrals remain popular, bold and unexpected color combinations are making a splash. This photo is from a wedding we worked on that masterfully paired vibrant jewel tones with soft pastels or metallic accents for a luxurious feel. If you’re looking to have your venue do more of the talking than your decor, Mass Moca has beautiful vibrant murals and artwork to create a memorable event. Pair these palettes with floral installations from local experts like Avela Floral Design or The Rose Thief Floral Design for maximum impact. Check out our Pinterest page, too, for more ideas and examples of how we’ve done this!
