Arch at the Meadow

Arch at the Meadow is a private wedding and event venue in Rochester, Massachusetts, offering couples a distinctive countryside setting for ceremonies and receptions. Its grounds bring together several spaces, so different parts of a celebration can take place indoors, beneath a tent or outdoors on the lawn.

The property’s former aircraft hangar can be arranged for ceremonies, with lighting, seating and aisle details adapted to suit each couple. For receptions, a 106-by-46-foot sailcloth tent provides a covered space for larger gatherings, with a concrete floor and room for more than 200 guests. The lawn between the hangar and tent can host a cocktail hour, with other options available if the weather changes. A dedicated bar area, accessible climate-controlled bathrooms and a private bridal waiting room are also part of the venue’s facilities.

The team offers wedding coordination and staff support from set-up through the event, including arranging chairs, tables, décor and lighting in line with the couple’s plans. Parking attendants and a bus drop-off point help organisers manage guest arrivals. Couples can discuss licensed, insured outside catering, and the venue can suggest suppliers to clients who have booked. The on-site bar service can also create signature cocktails.

With a family-run approach and flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, Arch at the Meadow is suited to couples planning a personalised wedding day, from an intimate gathering to a larger reception. Organisers can arrange a tour to explore the spaces and discuss the details of their event.
