The town of Palmer, which is often called the "Town of Seven Railroads," is conveniently located just 14 miles east of Springfield, so you and your wedding guests will have easy access to major regional attractions and shopping centers.

However, Palmer has some unique resources of its own to help you with the wedding planning process, and as a peaceful family-oriented community, there are plenty of opportunities for relaxation.

Palmer is home to several churches, so if you're considering traditional wedding venues, you will have several choices. Some churches in Palmer include Second Congregational Church, Crossway Christian Church, St. Paul's Church, and Second Baptist Church, just to name a few.

Steaming Tender Restaurant, which is located in a 19th century Romanesque-style train station, is a charming place for casual bridal brunches, engagement parties, and small rehearsal dinners.

Finally, for custom bridal bouquets, ceremony arrangements, and reception centerpieces made with seasonal wedding flowers, make sure you check out Maryniski's Flowers & Greenhouse.

Palmer has several parks and points of interest for you to enjoy during your free time, including Burleigh Park and Palmer Memorial Hall. The town is also in close proximity to Old Sturbridge Village, the Brimfield Antiques Market, and the Eastern States Exposition, which hosts shows and events all year-round.
