“It was so we could have a little moment together,” Molly says. “And because bowling was our first date!” Their fun intermission was just one part of an eclectic, colorful celebration.

The couple, who live in nearby Florida, chose Cricket Creek Farm in Williamstown for their ceremony and cocktail hour. “It’s a gorgeous spot with an incredible view of the mountains in autumn,” says Molly. The reception, at 3West in Norad Mill in North Adams, was equally beautiful—and vivid. “The mood was colorfuleclectic-vintage,” Molly says. “The dress code was thrift-store chic.” And everyone hit a lucky strike.

The couple discovered their ceremony venue when buying milk and groceries at Cricket Creek Farm store. The event kicked off with a parade up the hill. Max’s sister led with a drum, and many guests joined in with instruments and noisemakers.

The reception included touches like dinerstyle placemats, a deconstructed three-tier cake with three different flavors, and whimsical wares, like these vintage salt-and-pepper shakers
