When Hannah Kim and Drew McGeary were planning their September 13, 2025, wedding, the two UMass Amherst grads gravitated towards the Berkshires, equidistant from New York City and Boston, where most of their guests would be coming from. With its gorgeous gardens, rich history, and literary legacy, The Mount was the winning venue. The couple describes the day as “absolutely blissful” and they’re so grateful to their vendors for making it all happen without a hitch.

Incorporating family heritage into the celebration was important to them, too. They were keen on including a Paebaek ceremony, a Korean wedding ritual, as part of their rehearsal dinner. They loved the food at Firefly Gastropub in Lenox, and management was “so flexible with our plans,” Hannah says. Traditionally, the Paebaek is done with the newlyweds and the groom’s family after the bride has gone to live with them. Hannah and Drew gave it a modern spin to include both sets of parents. Hannah’s mother, Jaehee, bought a traditional hanbok for Lynne, mother of the groom, to wear. The couple poured and served tea; after their families sipped, they offered blessings and advice, including “love fearlessly, live fabulously, and dream big together.”
