Open Square

Mill 1 at Open Square was our dream wedding space, tucked into a familiar mill town setting in western Massachusetts. It was a blank canvas that allowed our personalities to shine bright on our day. Gorgeous industrial-​rustic meets modern convenience, and a staff of prepared and relaxed professionals to help you through the details.
Michelle St. Jaques (Marjorie, too!) was the grounding force that made sure our vision was seen through to the end. You know how it goes, the people you love want to lend a hand, and often their opinions about décor and layout and design are… their own. Michelle made sure our needs were met through the mêlée.
We had a truly «diy» wedding. We bought and designed the lighting, hauled in and laid out the floral work, hand-​made favors and place cards and decorated our cake. We came armed with sticks and fabric panels and a myriad of gold spray-​painted accessories. On the Friday before our wedding, we were allowed to come in and set up with the Mill 1 staff following our design plan and instruction, and we could not have been happier about how it turned out.
What a perfect celebration. The vendors we were given to choose from for catering were great, the bridal «ready room» was comfortable, and a beautiful setting for photos, and we just cannot be thankful enough for everything.
If you’re here looking for a fresh, green, and original space to get married or host an event, this space far exceeded my expectations, down to the extreme cleanliness of everything — including the shiny wood floors. My wife was overtaken with the urge to knee-​slide across the floor during Heart’s «Alone» and her white pants were untouched by dirt or dust. Those are pretty clean floors!
