Weddings
The Common Room is a place that is sacred without being pretentious, a place where history meets possibility.
The Common Room was designed to be beautiful, flexible, and accessible. Our reasonable fees make The Common Room an affordable option for your Berkshires wedding. The clergy, staff musician, and facilities management personnel at Zion Lutheran Church are all included when you choose to hold your ceremony here, and you do not need to be directly affiliated with the church.
The Common Room is located in downtown Pittsfield and adjacent to the Common, a seven-acre park at the center of this historic city. There are a number of exceptional hotels, florists, and reception venues nearby. Plentiful parking is available directly across the street from the church.
