Me and my husband got married here in October this year, and we had the absolute BEST experience. The property is gorgeous and is very accommodating since there are guest rooms on the property. it felt so intimate and private since the property is for your event. Hasmik, the venue coordinator is extremely knowledgeable and personable. On the day of the wedding, she made it so that we had absolutely nothing to worry about or even think about besides enjoying our day. The chef, Jason is wonderful, he makes everything from scratch and it pays off - the food was delicious! We could not recommend Bally Spring Inn more. We will always have the perfect memories of the perfect day because of them!

We just had our wedding here and it couldn’t have gone more perfect!
It is a beautiful place and they worked with us so much to stay within our budget which was very important to us. The staff is very friendly and there is good communication.
Thank you Bally Spring for assisting with our perfect wedding!

I love the Bally spring. The grounds are just so stunning with all of the natural ambiance on top of the beauty inside all of the buildings with the old rustic charm. Also, the food is AMAZING! I have never heard some many compliments on chicken! I would say the only drawback and the only reason I am not giving it five stars is that it is sometimes difficult to get in touch with the staff.

Our wedding day was the most perfect day! The grounds at Bally Spring are so beautiful, and having the entire property to ourselves for the whole weekend felt like a mini getaway! Our guests raved about the venue, the food and the rooms. There are 19 rooms to accommodate guests, and whoever stays over gets a complimentary hot breakfast buffet the next morning. Our guests also really enjoyed our after party, with the venue supplying pizza and stuff to make s’mores by the fire! Hasmik was extremely helpful, but I do believe communication could’ve been a little quicker sometimes. You will easily fall in love with this being!

My Husband and I just got married here on October 15th! It was the most beautiful day and everything went perfectly! We had our rehearsal dinner Friday and stayed overnight, had our wedding on Saturday, and left on Sunday! We were able to set up for the wedding on Friday night after rehearsal and really celebrate the entire weekend! They have 18 rooms so all of our closest family and friends were able to stay the entire weekend and celebrate for not just 6 hours but an entire weekend which makes this place so different! The grounds are beautiful and so relaxing, I honestly didn’t want to leave! The food was excellent and Hasmik did a great job with making sure everything ran smoothly! I will say, there really is pretty much no service which was a problem at times but I see it as a good and bad, good because people couldn’t be on their phones which people shouldn’t be at a wedding but bad when you needed to get in touch with people! I’m so happy I went with this venue, it may be expensive, I got married during prime season, but it was so worth it not only for my husband and I but both of our families!

looking for a professional, friendly, supportive place for your wedding? This place ISNT it.
terrible communication, no coordination between the venue and wedding party. Hasmik, the “coordinator/property manager” was beyond rude. missed items from the wedding. yelled at vendors and threatened them. the food TERRIBLE not even an accurate word to use because it was beyond that and dinner was an hour later then when it was suppose to be. save yourself the time and energy, look somewhere else

Beautiful venue, great food, no service/Wi-Fi, terrible coordinator!
My sister was married here over the weekend. Just a note, they have almost no service on the entire premise which would be fine except we couldn’t even get Wi-Fi in the getting ready space to communicate with the rest of the family prepping the reception space. They should really just add a router or two.
My whole family was extremely disappointed in venue coordinator Hasmik. She claimed to be available for us on the wedding day, checked on us once in the morning, but we were unable to find her an hour before the wedding all the way up to the MINUTE the bride was meant to walk down the aisle. We asked the staff and they all searched and couldn’t find her. My sister, the bride, was aware Hasmik was no where to be found and it stressed her out until the very last second. Hasmik finally came running in at 4:31 and never offered any kind of apology or excuse. My family is extremely gracious and would have understood if she communicated with us. I was also disappointed that the other coordinator was there but didn’t jump in to help, rather continued the search for Hasmik.
My husband provided music for the wedding and when he spoke with Hasmik the morning of about access to a sound panel she rudely told him he should have been more prepared and was unprofessional (even though he was permitted access the day before). He also heard her yell and curse at her staff when she thought no one was around.
The venue is absolutely beautiful and the rest of the staff were fantastic so this really was the only big disappointment from the day. I have previously worked at a wedding venue as well as had the most wonderful coordinator at my own wedding so I know the standard should be much higher. You can get much better service for far cheaper.
I will say, we knew the other couple that was married in the same weekend and we heard they had no issues with the other coordinator on the day of.

The Bally Spring Inn was the perfect venue to host our wedding reception. The property is absolutely beautiful and well-maintained. Our guests enjoyed staying overnight on the property and being able to walk around the property during the reception. The reception was well-organized thanks to Hasmik! We had many guests comment on how delicious all of the food was. The Bally Spring Inn was very accommodating of dietary needs and children we had at our reception. We felt very supported during our planning with Bally Spring and on our wedding day. Guests also commented on how beautiful the guest rooms were. It was great to have the option to have the after-party at the campfire and breakfast the following morning. They helped bring the vision we had for our wedding to life and helped to make it the perfect day! Hasmik was very flexible and even recommend special touches to add to make our day memorable. We highly recommend the Bally Spring Inn and look forward to going back in the future and hosting other events there!

Not only is the venue itself exquisite THE STAFF IS PHENOMENAL, THE FOOD IS MOUTH WATERING. We held my daughter's wedding at Bally Springs on 6/17/22. HASMIK, who is an employee of Bally Springs and seems to work 32 hours per day was our coordinator. There was no ask from us that HASMIK did not accommodate. When we made requests outside of the 'basic template' of a typical wedding, she never made us feel like we were on pins and needles wondering if our requests could be accommodated. She moved heaven and earth to accommodate every whim. Additionally, we were not nickled and dimed to death with every request. Working with Hasmik and the staff at Bally Springs took the angst out of the wedding planning journey. I have spent the last 48 hours fielding calls from our guests RAVING about the venue, the food, HASMIK. My daughter cried when we toured this place because it was so beautiful and PERFECT for her dream wedding. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We had the picture-perfect fairytale wedding that we’ve always dreamed of last weekend at Bally Spring Inn. Guests were in awe at how gorgeous the property was. We were excited to have our Christmas wedding at Bally Spring Inn, as the layout was exactly what we were looking for. We toured close to 20 different venues before stumbling across Bally Spring Inn. We were quite particular in how we wanted the room set up, and they were very accommodating and willing to let us move things and add our own decorations as much as we’d like to. We wanted our family and bridal party to be able to stay on the property so that we could be there all weekend and not need to worry about going back and forth between different places. The Inn had more than enough rooms on site to accommodate our family and wedding party, and each of the rooms was incredibly unique and beautiful. Food was also incredibly important to us, our family is very much foodies! From rehearsal dinner to cocktail hour to the entrees served at the reception, everything was absolutely delicious, kudos to the chefs! The filet was cooked perfectly and incredibly tasty. We did a roast beef carving station that was unbelievable. Homemade pastas and short rib for the rehearsal dinner, the short rib slid right off the bone and it was clear that the pasta was home made, and delicious! Everyone raved about the food!
Lastly, we need to call out Terri Herbine, our event coordinator, as she was so incredible to work with. It was very evident that Terri takes her job very seriously and wants each couple to have the wedding of their dreams. Terri was extremely down to earth and was very up front with what she’s seen work in the past, things to avoid, and the best way to approach every single detail of our wedding. Terri was very communicative, and always got back to us promptly, no matter the day or time. Terri took a great deal of stress off us through the wedding process.

We loved this venue!!! Our wedding day was so special in part because of the wonderful venue and workers at Bally Spring Inn. High praise to Hasmik Yereghyan!! My husband and I hadn’t been to too many weddings, so we weren’t sure what was all needed for us to do, but Hasmik helped us through it all. She was very personable and professional. She helped make our wedding day worry-free. She took care of everything and told us where to go so we didn’t have to pay attention to time. Another plus was all the options of where to hold your ceremony. We had an outside wedding, but they also had a beautiful rain site that we could use. They also had really good food. We highly recommend!

Let me first start by saying it’s really disappointing to write this review. When my fiancé and I first came to Bally Spring we were excited. We met with Terry who was wonderful! She showed us around and made us feel right at home. We quickly secured our date with a deposit. As time went on Terry stayed in communication with us, sharing our excitement every step of the way. However, things quickly took a turn for the worse at our tasting. The food was horrible! Our steaks seem to have been previously cooked and then reheated. Our hors d’oeuvres looked and taste as if they were previously frozen and then warmed before they were brought to the table. The plating was deplorable. I’ve seen children make a plate look more presentable. As much as we adored Terry, we had to unfortunately let her know we could not continue with having our wedding there. She worked with us to have our deposit returned. On the day I arrived to pick up our deposit, I was met by Hasmik, their general manager. She wanted me to explain why we were choosing not to have our wedding there. I politely explained to her how important food is and we simply could not overlook such poor plating and undesirable food. She then expressed maybe it was an issue with cultural differences (I am black) and maybe I’m just use to certain spices. I then explain to her I believe good food is good food no matter the persons background. She then expressed the food there is great and always fresh. She also stated “we don’t even own a freezer”, which is untrue. She ended our conversation telling me they have served people from every background and individuals on different levels of intelligence. I have absolutely no idea what that means. I felt the conversation went from racial to downright insulting. Who says we deal with people on different intelligence levels? I reached out the next day requesting to speak to the owner. I was told the owner would contact me the following day. It is now day 4 and I have yet to hear from anyone. I am disgusted. Planning your wedding is supposed to be a wonderful and exciting time. We are now 5 months from our wedding date and back to square one. Money wasted on our Save The Dates and Invitations. I would never refer this place to anyone!

Bally Spring Inn was such a beautiful, unique venue. It was comfortable and cozy but big enough for our huge family and friend groups. Terri the venue coordinator and event manager is absolutely amazing to work with. She helped with everything right through the big day. The vendors that they work with are incredible- the florist, the musicians, and the bakery, snd the in-house catering is so great too. It was so fun to have our bridal party and family stay on the property throughout the two days of wedding festivities. We really made the most of our time! Everything turned out better than I could have planned! The place was amazing 🤩 and gorgeous backdrops for photos 📸 oh and our dogs were allowed to come so what more you could want 😍 🐶

We delayed our wedding out of concern about the pandemic and Hasmik made the whole process so smooth! We couldn't have asked for a better experience on our wedding day and in the months leading up to it. She really knows what works well for the venue. Having a walkthrough a couple of day before the wedding put us totally at ease. There was a plan for how everything would be set up and we got to test out a few decoration options to see what would look best.
The weather cooperated and we were able to have our ceremony outdoors on the beautiful grounds. The rustic atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. And everyone loved the braised short rib! Having rooms available on site was a nice perk, especially for those who stayed for the bonfire after the reception.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. There are so many amazing spaces to choose from and spread out events, for all seasons, both inside and outside. I loved having the whole property to ourselves on our wedding day, and there is so much space for the bridal party to get ready, and a fun area for the men as well.
Terri was phenomenal to work with. From when we first inquired about the venue to the end of our wedding day, she was very thorough and responsive in answering questions and working with us through the whole process. She really helped us tailor the day to fit our style, and the venue has lots of props and decor so we hardly had to buy any of our own stuff. Our wedding day had some unforeseen circumstances, but she was so flexible and helpful the whole time, making last minute changes to keep our guests comfortable and working with our families to keep the day going smoothly.
The food was very good, several guests commented on it, and even more guests commented on how beautiful the venue is. It was also fun having the place to ourselves after our guests left, to unwind with family and friends who stayed over in rooms.
It was not cheap, but is worth every penny!

The Bally Spring Inn was the perfect, idyllic location for our July wedding. Bally Spring hosted everything from the rehearsal dinner, to a fire pit with our bridal party, to the ceremony and reception all on site. We loved the privacy that this venue gave us, because the entire facility is dedicated to only one event at a time. The comfortable rooms allowed for our guests to enjoy every moment without the worry of needing transportation. Our pictures are absolutely gorgeous because of the grounds and rustic ambiance of the buildings.
We're still hearing rave reviews about the food. The chef and staff are amazingly talented. Everything is prepared with such attention to detail. They happily worked with us to craft the perfect menu that represented our foodie side. The salad with in-house candied pecans and the goat cheese topped filet were among the clear favorites for our guests. The bonfire package and accompanying food was also such a memorable and fun part of our weekend.
Last, Hasmik was such a joy to work with. She was hands on and great at making recommendations and bringing our thoughts and ideas to life!
I would absolutely recommend The Bally Spring Inn to anyone in need of the perfect venue for their special day!

The pictures don’t do this place justice. You have 18 rooms for you and your guests to stay over night. You can have your rehearsal dinner here too! My wedding was a dream come true. Hasmik was so attentive to my numerous emails. She was great to work with and so creative when it comes to decorating the spaces the way you want it.
I had my ceremony in the farmhouse and I’m so glad I did. I fell in love with the fireplace! The main Inn is also spectacular with glass windows, another fireplace and original hardwood floors. Everyone raved over the food too! seriously, it’s not your typical wedding food. Everything is made on site!
So stop looking, call Hasmik and schedule your tour. You’ve found your dream venue!

I wish I could give this venue more than 5 stars. Look no further at wedding venues. This place is perfect all around.
Planning experience: When selecting a venue, you want to be able to trust your coordinator to do a good job the day of the wedding. Hasmik, the venue coordinator, is highly efficient, responsive and extremely pleasant to work with. She was always available to answer our questions and made us feel like family by the end of the experience. She was willing to work with us to carry out our vision for the day and made sure that we did not feel stressed during the planning stages.
Lodging: The venue has approximately 18 rooms for your guests to stay over. The old farmhouse vibe of the rooms compliments the rustic charm of the venue. Our guests enjoyed their overnight experience and complimented the timely room turn around time. Ask for tour of the rooms when you visit the venue.
Bridal/Groomsmen space: They have three massive rooms for the girls to get ready in with an attached deck. It had great natural lighting, a huge table for makeup/hair station, high top chairs for makeup/ hair as well as a mini fridge and small table for breakfast/lunch. The groomsmen suite is equally as large with a pool table, ping pong table and outdoor patio. It is located directly under the bridal suite so it makes coordinating your bridal party easier.
Photographer's Paradise: We were blown away the numerous locations to take photos. The best part about Bally Spring is you do not need to travel far around the property to make the most of the space and get amazing photos. We took most of our photos in the courtyard space by the small stream and did not need to waste too much of the day moving around the property. There is a gorgeous stream backdrop, cobble stone buildings and plenty of scenic landscapes to take photos. This is a photographer's paradise and you cannot go wrong with photos at this location. The detailed woodwork and the stone structures inside make this location work in the event of rain/snow.
Ceremony: One of the main reasons we chose this location was because they offered a gorgeous indoor ceremony space in the event of rain. Not many venues have an equally beautiful indoor ceremony location to match the outdoor space. We ended up having our ceremony inside on a beautiful day, because we loved the location so much. However, there are a few ceremony spaces outdoors (white gazebo by stream, small courtyard space) to have your ceremony outside. No matter which location you choose, the coordinator ensures that guests will not see you prior to starting your ceremony. A few spaces on the property are wheel chair accessible as well, which makes the venue ideal for older guests. They also let us decide on the day of our wedding (2 hrs prior to ceremony) which location we would prefer for the ceremony.
Reception: We received so many compliments about the food. It is prepared on site and is freshly made for the event. It is not only delicious, but also the portions are generous. You get to do a tasting prior to your wedding and pick from an assortment of hot/cold apps and they have plenty of upgrades (that are reasonably priced) to give your guests a unique experience. Highly recommend adding the popcorn cart; it was a huge hit and truly unique! The acoustics were great for DJ and they have a huge deck for cocktail hour (we put a photobooth outside on the deck). Great bar service and waiter staff service throughout the night!

Bally Spring Inn is absolutely incredible!! My husband and I had eloped and were looking to have a special reception party to celebrate with our family and friends and Hasmik, the Event Director was amazing from start to finish!! She was able to guide us through our unique situation on very short notice and helped to address all of our questions and concerns every step of the way! The reception itself was everything that we dreamed it would be and more!! The venue is PERFECT and the possibilities are endless in terms of what you can do to make your day special. The staff is beyond accommodating and the food was perfection! I can't say enough good things about the entire property and staff. You will absolutely LOVE every second of your experience at Bally Spring Inn - I promise!!
Ps. Did I mention that it's dog friendly!? We had our pup with us on our reception day from start to finish which was so much fun!

A full weekend of celebration! Everything was so thoughtfully planned out before that the day of the wedding, my husband and I could truly just enjoy time together and with our loved ones. Having such a beautiful site Thursday to Saturday morning including set-up, the rehearsal dinner, getting ready in the farm house, ceremony by the creek, newly renovated reception hall with a deck, and bonfire after party made it a full, worthwhile celebration. Just perfect!

Marvelous wedding weekend from start to finish! The bucolic peaceful setting is only part of the charm and magic of our wedding at Bally. There were nice accommodations for 40 of our closest family and friends which made it a relaxed and intimate experience. The chief went out of his way to prepare ethnic dishes for our Indian guests that were greatly appreciated! We loved the window expansion to the main inn. It made for beautiful and airy place for 125 people to celebrate.
Hasmik and Jacob, the owners and coordinators for Bally were fantastic! From the early planning stages where Hasmik’s advice and experience were integral to designing a successful fusion wedding, to running out umbrellas, carrying my train, and making sure every event ran smoothly, she and Jacob are the heart and soul of Bally Spring Inn. My new husband and I will be forever grateful!

Have your wedding here. That simple. We looked at many venues and were turned off with how commercial it felt, how others would have their wedding the same day, all the things we HAD to add to get one of the things we wanted just bundled with it, etc.
Hashmik, the proprietor, is an ANGEL. We had many personal touches from building our own arbor for the ceremony to food we caught for the reception to our dog walking the aisle and photo bombing the pictures; she accommodated everything with grace and humor. Hashmik is 50% the reason why we choose Bally. 25% is just the stunning beauty and ability to use all the facilities and 25% was the amazing food prepared by chef Matt. No joke, choosing the appetizers was so hard because everything was phenomenal.
From the Rehearsal to the wedding to the after party bonfire to the beautiful inn rooms to the brunch the day after, I can’t tell you how many people have said “ this was the best wedding ever. No, seriously, I’m not just saying that, it was awesome.”
You will not regret it. I genuinely hope I have another event there some day.

I cannot say enough good things about the Bally Spring Inn. We toured many venues, and as soon as we pulled up to Bally Spring I knew this was the one, and it only got better from there. We were married at Bally Spring on 6/29/19. From the day we took our first tour, to all the planning and preparation, to the wedding day, the staff at Bally Spring were truly amazing. Hasmik went above and beyond to make our day perfect. She checked in with me frequently throughout the planning, and helped us ensure every detail was covered. On the wedding day Hasmik made sure everything ran smoothly and was executed just the way we wanted. They accommodated every idea and request I had.
The food was absolutely outstanding. Our guests raved about the braised short ribs, chicken entree, caesar salad, and mashed potatoes.
The grounds are gorgeous. It poured during our scheduled ceremony time and even though we used the indoor ceremony space, it was just as beautiful. We had our reception in the main inn, a barn from the 1700s, which has been newly renovated to include a glass wall/ceiling. Our guests were in awe over how awesome the inn is. Additionally, our family and friends loved staying overnight in the rooms on the property.
My husband and I were so happy with how everything turned out. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful and historic wedding.

The Bally Spring Inn was a great venue for our wedding on 9/8/2018. From start to finish, Stephanie walked us through everything with a positive and professional attitude. We wanted to make adjustments to our beverage package to substitute local wine and Stephanie made it happen for us. I loved the option to have our guests stay over there after the wedding, as their are 16 rooms available onsite. The food was so good as well, our guests were very impressed. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with the staff at Bally Spring and would highly recommend it for future brides.

We got married here in October, 2017. During the actual wedding, everything went seamlessly. All the staff was very friendly and helpful.
We did, however have extreme issues with the bill. Initially I was given a quote by Stephanie -- just hand written on a sheet, and I decided it was a good value and we would have our wedding there. Then, Stephanie went on maternity leave and our planning was handed over to other employees.
A few days before the wedding, we went in to make a payment on our bill and it was MUCH higher than quoted. The main offender was that they charge $50/cot for overnight guests. When originally told the price of the room, Stephanie said they could put cots in the room so the cost of a room could be split more ways (as more guests were using one room). The cot fee was not mentioned and made it not worth guests splitting rooms.
Additionally, and most of all, after we paid the invoice and were married, we received ANOTHER bill for $2,306.85!! Apparently some math wasn't done correctly and fees were not added in.
As I said, the day went off without a hitch, but this bad experience of payment has really clouded my recollection of the day, which can't be taken back. Just know Bally as a whole is somewhat unorganized. Really be on your toes and take good notes to make sure everyone honors their word.

Both Stephanie and Rebekah answered all of my phone calls and emails in a timely manner and any request I had they found a way to make it happen. All of our guests had such a great time and everyone raved about the food. The venue is in immaculate condition and such a special place.

From the moment we booked the tour until we left the day after the wedding, everyone was so kind and helpful! I really can’t stress that enough! The food was also AMAZING! I think the short ribs from our wedding will be talked about for the rest of our lives! We also loved being able to stay at the inn and have some of our family and friend stay as well! We made the most of it by using the property and fire pit for our after party and it was perfect! Definitely check out Bally Spring Inn!

Where do I even begin to describe this special place!?! I got married at the Bally Spring Inn in May 2017 and it was honestly the best day ever! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, the staff was extremely friendly (especially Stephanie- she is the kindest, good-hearted women I have ever met), and the food was marvelous. All of my other vendors (DJ, photographer, and videographer) all marveled at the beauty of the Bally Spring Inn. A month later, I am still getting compliments about how fabulous my wedding was. I chose to have a buffet at my wedding, and I'm pretty sure that everyone went up for seconds because the food was that divine. The filet with blue cheese crumbles was to die for! The Bally Spring Inn is a beautiful barn that has been completely restored to look like it did the day it was built. I was lucky enough to have beautiful weather on my wedding day so my ceremony was outside, but if it did rain, the inside option to hold the ceremony is just as beautiful so it's not a bad plan B to have! In fact, I held my cocktail hour in the building where a ceremony could be held because the vaulted ceilings with beams is stunning. I was lucky enough to have my ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in three different locations on the property so my guests were really able to see all that the Inn had to offer. Once you plan a visit to see the Inn, you will understand exactly what I am talking about. Thank you again Bally Spring Inn for giving me the best day ever! Xoxo

We had our ceremony and reception at the Bally Spring Inn and it was absolutely beautiful. Our guests are still talking about the location and beauty of the property and indoor area. Food was excellent, staff were very professional. We were able to utilize the outdoor fire pit after the wedding to keep the party going which was fantastic. My only complaint was they were extremely slow to return calls and emails.

My husband and I got married at the Bally Spring Inn on September 18th, 2016. Stephanie was absolutely amazing. The whole staff was so warm and welcoming. It was such a comfortable atmosphere. We had some difficulties very close to our date, and the Inn was more than accommodating. They helped make our day as minimally stressful as possible. Even the morning after was phenomenal. We requested waffles for breakfast, so the chef prepared a whole spread of waffles, fruit, pastries, bagels, coffee, orange juice, etc. The staff even gave us a gift for our baby girl (unexpectedly due about 8 weeks after the wedding!). If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable, simple, but beautiful and elegant place to celebrate one of the greatest days of your life, go to the Bally Spring Inn. We couldn't be happier. <3

I wish there were more than 5 stars to select from, because The Bally Spring Inn is definitely a 10 out of 5! Most amazing venue, most amazing team, and most amazing food! As soon as we turned into the driveway of the property for the first time, I absolutely fell in love with it, and every time we came back after that, I got that same exact feeling as the first time we arrived. "Beautiful" doesn't even begin to describe the property itself! Not only is the property stunning on its own, but the team at Bally Spring keep it looking absolutely spectacular every day of the year.
Stephanie, the Director of Sales, is outrageously knowledgeable when it comes to the venue, the flow of the day, and weddings in general. She always had the best suggestions for other vendors to use or what to do for the ceremony/reception in order to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Stephanie and the rest of the team at Bally Spring are extremely flexible and willing to work with you on your "dream" set up and do whatever it takes to make the day exactly what you want it to be! I cannot recommend The Bally Spring Inn enough to anyone and everyone planning a wedding. Most amazing venue and team out there!

The Bally Spring Inn is a truly magical place. All the staff went above and beyond to make sure our event was fantastic. Stephanie is a remarkable coordinator; easy to talk with and full of excellent ideas. She made sure that my daughters wedding was perfect. Our chef was phenomenal; our meal was excellent! The staff also was conscious of our guests with gluten restrictions; their meals were exceptional also. My daughter made an wonderful choice when she chose to have her wedding here.

The Bally Spring Inn will guarantee a fairy tale wedding within your budget! My husband and I got married on September 3rd of this year and we keep getting calls from all our guests telling us what an amazing wedding it was. We owe this to Hazmik and Stephanie. They worked to accommodate our very tight budget, remained calm throughout the chaos of guests RSVPing last minute, and they even took personal care of my little brother when he arrived late and hungry. The scenery, the service, the food, and every single detail of your wedding day will be perfect!!!!

We cannot say enough great things about this location. Stephanie is amazing and I can't thank her enough. My wedding was amazing! I had an outdoor ceremony and my guests couldn't say enough nice things about the location. The food was great, everything was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing.

I can't say enough good things about Bally Spring. I've actually never written a review for anything, but our wedding day was so perfect and the staff so accommodating that I felt I had to spread the word. From start to finish, Stephanie, the Director of Sales, made everything super easy. She accommodated our every request and even allowed us to bring our dog to stay in the Inn. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful and the day was completely stress-free. My husband and I felt that we and our guests were really taken care of and we were able to truly enjoy the reception. The food was fantastic and people are still talking about it! Additionally, our families and friends loved the location and the beautiful grounds. A number of them stayed overnight, and their rooms were excellent. Every staff member payed such thoughtful attention to detail that we can't thank them enough- Stephanie even brought us a special couples' breakfast the next morning, even though they were already busy preparing for the next wedding. If you're looking for a venue within easy distance of Philadelphia, I can't recommend Bally Spring enough. Our wedding was a dream come true.

The Bally Spring Inn is a beautiful country setting with various buildings and spaces offering flexibility within the venue for specific planning of any wedding or gathering. Stephanie's professional, warm and friendly demeanor was only outshined by her positive attitude, flexibility, and accommodating manner. From day 1 when we met her, she made planning a wedding (in 7 weeks!) such an enjoyable and stress-free process, it seems remarkable. Family and friends stayed over in comfortable rooms in the various buildings, collected at the bonfire by the creek following the reception late into the star-filled night, and at the farewell breakfast the following morning......most folks didn't want to leave. I think some of the best recommendations for Bally Spring were reflected in guests' positive comments and requests for contact info for their own future events (one co-worker of mine is keeping Bally Spring "on file" for possible venue for her daughter's wedding someday in the future.....daughter is still in high school....hardly even dating yet...that says something). The venue is beautiful, relaxing, yet sophisticated; the food was so delicious and the chef accommodated forewarned food allergies. The planning and coordination of everything went so smoothly. We requested and used Stephanie's suggestions for vendors - all were top-notch. The entire staff did a great job, and made everyone feel as if the place belonged to us for the duration of the 2 days we were there. Stephanie, and the other key staff members, made our event so remarkable that more than one guest said it was the "best wedding" they had ever been to.....except for one savvy guest who claimed it was the "2nd best" (after his own wedding to his wife within ear shot....smooth move.) No hesitation in highly recommending Bally Spring, Stephanie, the accommodations, the chef and food, and each and every supporting staff member who enabled us to create such fond memories of a time and place.

I am so happy that I chose the Bally Spring Inn for our wedding. I booked this venue over a year in advance and during that year there were many changes. All of those changes ended up being positive especially when they hired Stephanie. Stephanie was absolutely amazing to work with and made sure that they day went incredibly smooth. She was always there to answer any questions or help solve any problems leading up to the big day. The best and most surprising thing of all was that Stephanie and her staff put up all of my decorations for me the day of the wedding. I brought everything to the bally spring inn and they placed it all and cleaned everything up after so there were absolutely no worries the day of the wedding. The food was amazing as well. You cannot go wrong with what entree you pick. We also had our rehearsal dinner there (amazing) and had a bonfire (so much fun!). So even though it rained on our wedding day and we had to be moved inside last minute I am so happy we chose the Bally Spring Inn and were blessed with such wonderful staff to make sure that our day did not get ruined. I cannot say enough good things about the bally spring inn and Stephanie.

Our wedding at the Bally Spring Inn was wonderful, rain and all!! My favorite part about the venue (aside from the beautiful location and rustic feel) was that the Inn is a one-stop shop. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception all in the beautiful barn. It couldn't have been better. Stephanie was awesome!! So easy going and such a pleasure to work with. She had no problem answering any questions we had, big or small. She and the entire staff were so very accommodating. We received vendor recommendations for a DJ, photographer and cake designer from Stephanie and each one turned out to be just as wonderful as the Inn itself! I feel SO fortunate to have had our wedding here. We made so many memories to last a lifetime! Perfect day, perfect venue!!

My wife and I got married here last summer and it made for a beautiful wedding and memorable day. Stephanie and the rest of the staff took on all the logistical stress of the wedding were very attentive to our needs. They even made a point to run some of the delicious hors d'oeuvres over to us during pictures before the reception. The venue itself was gorgeous and made for some excellent pictures. Unfortunately it started to rain during the reception and we were unable to make s'mores by the fire pit, but the inn was quite cozy and lent itself well to socializing, dancing, and enjoying ourselves.

The Bally Spring Inn was absolutely incredible both as a rehearsal dinner and wedding venue. We rented the inn for the weekend and it was the best weekend of our lives. Stephanie, Becky, and the whole team was helpful, attentive, caring, and fun. We loved the food, the atmosphere, and the entire property. All our guests were fully taken care of down to the smallest detail. They made us feel welcome and at ease and made sure everything ran smoothly. I can't recommend it more highly.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Inn on September 12, It was amazing. The inn is beautiful every where you turn. We had planned on having our ceremony outside in the courtyard but mother nature had different plans for us. Our ceremony ended up being inside but it was still beautiful. Our families and friends had an amazing time and we received so many compliments on the location of our wedding and the food. I would definitely recommend Bally Spring Inn to any couple looking for a venue that feels like home.

Welcome to your home away from home! The BSI team is simply AMAZING!!! You, as a bride (or a groom), never have to worry about a planner, or anything! Bally Spring Inn is a one-stop shop and have all the connections so that you need not go place to place for vendors (except for your dress)! To be a BSI Bride means that you are coming home to your own vacation where you need not stress about the details, and they have a beautiful Bride Suite for the day of your wedding, which became the perfect backdrop for our first family photos! Our wedding was mid-week, mid-September, HOT/Humid, and still the back up plan worked like a charm and people are still talking about the wedding months later. My favorite comments from my guests were that the location was stunning (it is!) and the food was 5-star, melt in your mouth good (again...it is!)!!! The best part of it was that everyone felt like home there for a few days! Bally Spring Inn is the premiere choice for weddings, retreats, family reunions, parties... you name it! More importantly, it's affordable, and they work with your budget to make it all happen! Anywhere else would not be so flexible. You will not regret having your soiree here! You will instantly become part of the family when you do!

I do not even know where to begin or how to accurately express in words how easy or fantastic they made the whole night. From the beginning Stephanie was so easy to work with and so flexible and tolerant of all the last minute questions and changes, including the day of! All of our friends and family told us how wonderful and accommodating all the staff was, everyone we spoke with was extremely nice and helpful. You could not ask for a better group of people or a prettier venue. They even let us bring our dog! The rooms are gorgeous and you can't beat a nice relaxing soak in the jacuzzi to help you relax! I was not stressed at all the night before or day of the wedding and that is all thanks to know that Stephanie had it all handled. On top of it all, we actually got to eat! They made sure we ate through the day getting ready and a server came to get us when our dinner arrived so we got to eat it hot. The food was amazing! Nothing could have made the day more perfect! We even got to have breakfast with our family at the Inn prior to evening heading home. Cannot thank you enough!

The Bally Spring Inn was incredible. Just this past weekend I had my wedding and I can't fully express how impressed I was with this venue and the wonderful staff. From my first interaction with Stephanie, I knew everything would be perfect the day of our wedding. First of all, the property is gorgeous. The courtyard ceremony space, reception area, and the rooms are simply wonderful. There is so much charm and character that you won't find at other venue. Plus, if photos are really important to you on your wedding day, you will find numerous spots to take beautiful pictures, your options here are endless. You will definitely fall in love with this property, I know we did. Second, The staff is so flexible and accommodating, they worked with us to meet all our wants and needs. The staff also made us, as well as our guests feel at home, and did everything they needed to make sure our weekend was perfect. I have received countless compliments from my guests about this venue. It was truly a gift getting to work with Stephanie, Becky and the rest of the staff. I couldn't imagine celebrating the best day of our lives anywhere else. Thank you for making our wedding day one to remember the rest of our lives.
Love,
Mr. And Mrs. Lewis

Count your blessings if you are lucky enough to reserve a date at The Bally Spring Inn. We just had our wedding and rehearsal dinner there and every aspect of the weekend was perfect. We could not have asked for a better venue, better staff or better food. Every single guest was in awe of this place and the wonderful job that they did. Thank you bally spring inn!!

Bally Spring Inn is beautiful! It is tucked back in the middle of nowhere and it has the most beautiful landscape you could hope for. Jackie was exceptional to work with. A mistake that affected my wedding was made but, fortunately, Jackie handled the situation. All said and done I'm very happy that I went with Bally Spring Inn.

I had the pleasure of providing rental furniture for a wedding at this venue. This place is absolutely gorgeous! The staff we interacted with were very helpful and attentive. They responded quickly to all of our phone calls and e-mails to set things up. The wedding was supposed to be outside, but was moved inside and still looked fabulous! Bally Spring is definitely an excellent choice for a wedding near the Lehigh Valley.
