Farandnear Overview

Once the summer of an accomplished political scientists and professor, Farandnear is not just a natural preserve, but also a gorgeous venue for soon-to-be-wed couples. Lending a feeling of peace and seclusion to every event, this stunning location is sure to impress guests. Exchange your most sacred vows on the park-like grounds, whether you are saying your “I do’s” within the conifer tree arboretum or beneath the shade of hemlocks in the nearby grove. The melodic sound of bird calls, from the black-capped chickadees to the barred owls, will provide a one-of-a-kind soundtrack for your big day. The property’s lush wooded trails, cranberry bog remnants, and flourishing fields of wildflowers provide picturesque backdrops that are ideal for unforgettable wedding photos. Donated by the generous Banks family and painstakingly maintained by the Trustees of Reservations, this beautiful property allows couples to begin their lives together embraced by unrivaled natural landscapes and loved ones.
