Bally Spring Inn

e 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.

n! 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.

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!

p 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!

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

g 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.

tion. 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!

nator. 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!

s 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.

eeded 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!

ecured 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!

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 😍 🐶

pace 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!

s 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!

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!

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!

o 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!

ing 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!

te 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!

t, 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.

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.

l 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.

d 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.

agined my wedding anywhere else. Thank you so much Stephanie, for everything! You were fantastic!

to get breathtaking pictures. Stephanie was always available and made every step of the planning process so easy. I give the HIGHEST recommendation to the Bally Spring Inn for anyone looking for an outdoor/indoor country style wedding.
