We know that marriage isn't just about the party ... but the party is pretty important. We know a wedding symbolizes the beginning of a profound adventure of the heart and every adventure is unique. And planning an event to celebrate this great love, well it's nothing less than stressful. But we're here to help.
Our wedding team knows all about planning weddings, we've each had our own. 
Special Event Chef Madden Surbaugh
Special Event Chef Madden Surbaugh arrived to a sandy Shaw Island beach to tie the knot 
barefoot. Pork tacos (the best you ever tasted) and tubs of beer and champagne sweated drops of casual bliss in the shade. If you think they lacked formality, you don't know about the Dom Perignon that was opened with a special champagne saber (no joke!).
Our Special Events Coordinator, Maggie, helped her best friend Megan, to create a garden party wedding for 200 people that was small in budget and big on style. A shabby chic wedding in her parents spacious yard, complete with mismatched custom stamped napkins she 
Special Event Manager Maggie Vinson
Adam and I were married at the Inn in 2000 in a big white tent under a misty May sky.
Our wedding party of 200 spilled from the Victorian Room into the dining room and lounge, under the big walnut tree and into the tent. We gave Old Fashioned Butter Mints made from my grandmother's recipe as favors and were serenaded with "From This Moment" by Celine Deon by my sister-in-law Emily. I know, I know...Celine Deon elicits a lot of eye rolling, but on your wedding day corny is just...beautiful.
All of these events were amazing and we each had hurdles and str
ess to overcome. From rain on an outdoor wedding, to divorced parents bumping heads, to parents who had passed on and couldn't attend the wedding, to wrestling a beer budget into champagne flutes. There are all the practical details of planning and there are your real life dreams for what the day will look, smell, sound but most of all feel like.
We've been in your shoes.
We want to help get you from the planning to the celebration with grace, confidence and ease.
Our role might be to provide the catering, venue and rooms for your guests, but what makes us tick is seeing you year after year as you build the marriage of a lifetime - and knowing we helped in a small way to send you off on your own love story. It's not over when the wedding's done, it's just beginning.
