Brittany and Matt were able to throw the most personalized and perfect New England wedding, sharing the things they love with all the people they love most.

Read MoreVintage Ranch was recently made over on an episode of Netflix’s “Stay Here”. I think it looked totally perfect in neutral tones with pops of mustard yellow and Lil Wayne. The location is huge but every inch seems intentional and is the kind of venue that you don’t even need to decorate. It’s the perfect spot for a big wedding but could totally work for an intimate elopement. From the barn to the vinyard to the most incredible tree to get married under, Vintage Ranch is a total dream for a wedding!
