Wiggins Tavern

Begin Your Forever Where History Lives.

The tavern itself traces back to an 18th-century structure originally built in 1786 by Benjamin Wiggins in Hopkinton, New Hampshire. In the early 20th century, Lewis Wiggins (descendant of Benjamin) had the tavern dismantled and meticulously reconstructed inside the Hotel Northampton. The original carved paneling, hand-hewn beams, and stone and brick hearths were carefully re-assembled to preserve the authentic feel of an early American tavern.

Our venue representative was quick to respond to any questions or requests we had throughout the whole planning process, which made everything feel so smooth and stress-free.

    The Hotel Northampton was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication was responsive, thorough, and truly caring throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and attention to detail was unparalleled - the venue was set up beautifully, the evening flowed seamlessly, and the food was absolutely delicious.

    From the very first interaction, the team at The Hotel Northampton impressed us with their quick, kind, and creative communication style. Their attention to detail and commitment to making our special day exactly what we envisioned was unparalleled. Ruby and Lia worked with us for two years to coordinate with over a dozen vendors, seamlessly bringing our vision to life. The venue's old-world elegance and classic charm, combined with its convenient downtown location, provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding celebration. Every guest raved about the beautiful space and the charming town, and we know we will cherish these memories forever. We can't wait to return for future anniversaries and celebrations.

    We had our wedding at the Hotel Northampton on New Year’s Eve (12/31/24), and it truly could not have been more unforgettable. From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely flawless. My wife, our families, and all of our friends had an amazing time, and we are still hearing from guests about how beautiful and fun the night was. The hotel itself is elegant, timeless, and full of charm. It provided the perfect backdrop for a romantic winter wedding, and having everything under one roof made it incredibly convenient for us and our guests. A huge shoutout to the entire staff, who went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. In particular, Ruby Meng was outstanding—her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care made the planning process seamless and stress-free. She was a joy to work with and made us feel completely supported every step of the way. All of the recommended vendors were top-notch and worked together beautifully. The hotel’s attention to detail and coordination helped everything come together without a hitch. If you’re considering Hotel Northampton for your wedding or any special event, do not hesitate. It’s a beautiful venue with a stellar team that truly delivers unforgettable experiences. Thank you again to everyone at Hotel Northampton for helping us ring in the new year as newlyweds in the most incredible way possible!
