What is a Berkshire Barn Wedding Fiesta? Is it the Quaker-inspired service in which guests can share favorite memories, poems, stories, quotes, well-wishes, prayers, words of wisdom, music... anything under a minute, for brevity's sake? (Don't worry, there had been cocktails beforehand to loosen nervous tongues.) Is it the free-flowing margaritas, beer, wine, locally distilled spirits, and fresh apple cider from the orchard down the road? Is it jazz cuddling up to indie rock, New Wave, old school hip-hop, Motown, and Texas Swing? Is it Latin American fare crafted with mostly local and organic ingredients? Is it papel picado banners and twinkly lights? Is it a beautiful country barn filled with a bunch of raucous city folk? Is it 10.10.10 falling over Columbus Day weekend during peak fall foliage season? Yes.
To borrow the age-old expression, it's a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll. And it's a sampling of the things we love, with the people we love, in a great big celebration of love.
