Bedford Village Inn

ally our families and our wedding party. We felt supported each step of the way - our wedding coordinator Madison was super responsive and answered all of our questions in the months leading up to our wedding. Both the rehearsal dinner (which we also held at the Bedford Village Inn) and the day of the wedding couldn't have been smoother (not only for us as the bridge and groom, but for our vendors as well) and there were no hiccups or last minute issues to worry about. We had originally picked this venue because we loved the garden where we held our ceremony, as well as the great hall where we held our reception, in addition to the food being top notch (all of our guests were raving about the cocktail hour appetizers and our main dishes - we chose the chicken and the filet mignon as our two main options). Overall the Bedford Village Inn is a 10 out of 10 as a wedding venue!

r. Madison helped us through the entire process, paid attention to every detail, from Rehearsal dinner, to bridal party preparations, and the decorations. Madison was very responsive to calls and emails. I really don't have any complaints. This place is truly a beautiful spot for a wedding.

utiful and there are many options to personalize your day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a venue that offers support, a beautiful facility… and accommodations ( and a tavern…. And rehearsal dinner options) all in one place!

ur rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. Your mind will be at ease the weekend of your wedding, because the BVI does an amazing job of setting up decor and communicating with vendors. All of my wedding dreams came true, thanks to Madison and the other managers at the BVI. I can't say enough about how wonderful this venue is. I received so many compliments from guests that the wedding and venue was the best they had ever been to. Thank you to Madison and everyone at the BVI!!

a one stop location- lodging, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and I can tell you we hit the jackpot with BVI. This venue really can accommodate any wedding vision, from rustic, to modern, to boho- it’s stunning. From the first time we visited and met with Madison, our coordinator, we knew it was perfect. The planning process and day of assistance we got from the whole staff was just amazing. It’s like having an additional wedding planner! The day of the wedding was simply perfect- our guests loved staying at the Grand and the convince of the location was exactly what we wanted. The food is also DELICIOUS! All I can say is if you’re looking for a stunning location in New England with amazing staff, BVI is the place for you!!

. She always made sure to get back to us with answers to our questions. - Wedding food was exceptional. Everyone raved about the appetizers and the salmon entree. Chef worked with us on some dietary restrictions from the wedding party. The dessert table was also really good. Wish I had known that they put some of the desserts out in the hall near the rooms! -Hotel beds were very comfortable. I love having the king beds for all of the rooms. Cons: -You start with a sales coordinator who worked with us for the entire year of our planning. Madison was great to work with and very knowledgeable. On the day of the event, everything gets turned over to another coordinator whom we never even met. At 11am on the day of the wedding, we still had not seen or met Brittney. Didn't see much of her for the rest of the event either. There were a few glitches with this as the wedding arch was not where it was supposed to be and the lanterns were not placed correctly. -There is yet another person you deal with for the hotel rooms. They were not as pleasant and at times, felt like they really didn't want to help. Had a family member with three small kids. Originally I was told that there would be cots and crib. Then when she checked in, they told her that they didn't think they could accommodate that. In the end, they did but I feel it really wasn't necessary to put the guests through all of that. -Rooms at Inn were convenient but many people complained about the water pressure. -My husband and I stayed in the suites outside of the Inn. They were drafty AND noisy! These suites have kitchens but NO microwave or toaster. We had no way of warming up the baby's bottles or our breakfast. Also, you have to ASK to have the heat turned up. We froze the first night, not knowing this. -Food at post wedding breakfast was just ok. Nothing spectacular and there wasn't enough. We had to ask them to replenish, even for coffee! One server for 40 guests. -Lastly, after spending lots of money all weekend, we were charged $4 the next day for a toothbrush!

the Edison bulbs over the lawn comprise the perfect backdrop for a memorable ceremony and gorgeous pictures. Not to mention the food!! Wedding food usually isn’t very memorable, or if it is, it’s for the wrong reasons. The food was remarkable! Everyone raved about it for weeks. They are also so great about accommodating food allergies, which was great for several of our guests. The facilities were absolutely incredible. We were blown away by the service and care provided in the Grand. We received complimentary champagne upon check-in, polite and efficient service from the bellhop, and a complimentary room move of our belongings on the day of our wedding to the Inn. The modern yet cozy feel of the grand suites was absolutely amazing. We almost didn’t want to leave for the inn! The bed is so comfortable and the bathroom is luxurious. Once we moved over to the Inn, we appreciated the charming, antique touches throughout the room. The facilities were incredible–we loved the extra bathroom and plenty of space to spread out and also relax in between photos. The balconies make for great photo shoots and the walk in closet was greatly appreciated! We even received a complimentary bottle of champagne and chocolate cake! Worth every penny!! What was most memorable for us at BVI were the staff. From the moment we began planning our wedding with Olivia to the day of coordination with Brittany and even our personal attendant Griffin, we were completely blown away with the professionalism, graciousness, accommodation, and flexibility of every single person we came in contact with. Everyone worked so diligently to ensure that our day was absolutely perfect and it was!! The staff work so well together, like an oiled machine. Though it looked like it was going to rain, Brittany had her staff set up chairs outside and we were able to have our ceremony outside just in time to miss a passing shower. She had her phone opened to the weather radar for an hour to make our ceremony just as we had planned. Brittany was also incredible during the wedding, attending to anything we needed. Griffin, our personal attendant, was charming and funny. We so appreciated him! Leading up to our wedding, we had a lot of last minute guest list changes and Olivia was so flexible in providing us several solutions. Her affirmations, assurances, and optimistic demeanor were everything a couple needs leading up to their wedding. We can’t say enough good things about everyone who works at Bedford Village inn! Do not think twice about booking your wedding at BVI! It is worth every penny!!

endly during the event. Always there when you needed them. Everyone who helped were friendly and fun - especially Bella and Griffin.

ntion to detail and kind, calming demeanor made her an absolute pleasure to work with. Brittany and all of the day-of wedding attendants were also so fantastic. The amount of people who have told us "this is the nicest wedding we have ever been to" speaks volumes for the level of professionalism and amazing service BVI offers. Thank you to all at BVI who helped make our dream day a reality, we cannot thank you enough!

for making our day so memorable.

g planner you could imagine. It’s like she’s out of the movies! She had an answer to every question but balanced it with warmth and kindness. 3) THE FOOD. We’re still getting compliments on that filet. 4) THE RELATIONSHIPS. BVI is a well-oiled machine with incredible vendor ties. Choose off the Preferred Vendor list when you can - it pays off! 5) ONE STOP SHOP. The entire wedding weekend was on the grounds of BVI. It made it SO easy for our guests. I hope you’re able to have your dream wedding at the Bedford Village Inn! You won’t regret it.

on and ease every worry. Molly and the group booking team were also fantastic and responded so quickly to our emails and calls. On the day of our wedding Olivia and the team went above and beyond to ensure our day was flawless allowing us to truly enjoy our day without any stress. We can’t wait to visit for our anniversaries and hopefully attend a wedding at BVI one day!

moment went by where we didn’t feel taken care of by our day of coordinator Brittney. Thank you to Madison for helping us plan over the past 8 months. What a great location. Plus the food was outstanding, and my husband is a chef!

details. On the day of, the staff took care of setting up all the décor and coordinating deliveries with vendors. My husband and I didn’t have much time to enjoy the appetizers during cocktail hour so one of the servers offered to bring a sample of each to the sweetheart for us! Overall, the food and service was phenomenal. Our guests had a wonderful time and were so impressed with the Great Hall. We plan to make trips back to stay there for anniversary celebrations in the future!

we left off with Olivia. The food was great - “ best Caesar salad ever” and the passed apps were plentiful. The bartenders were also incredible, making fun drinks and kept the line moving. You do not need a lot of DIY - a few place cards, table numbers (hit up Anne’s Florals for some garland and dealing) the space is so beautiful and doesn’t need much! Guests also noted the waitstaff were incredibly polite and helpful. Also having the Inn rooms in the same building as the reception hall is so convenient for older guests, adults with disabilities or even children. They can go to bed a little earlier and be safe and close by. The BVI also has so many areas (indoor and outdoor) for pictures. It rained and snowed on our wedding and we were still able to get some great shots! Don’t sleep on the winter wedding! A side note IMO the rooms at the Inn and the Grand are both beautiful and reasonable (especially in today’s wedding market) and there is only a one night minimum but every wedding has the budget minded guest. Contact Saundra from the Country Inn & Suites. They can arrange two 12 people shuttles, accept welcome bags and will create a room block for you. The only critique was that the tasting cost over $200 per couple. I could totally see charging for alcohol, additional guests but when you’re paying tens of thousands of dollars for a wedding… throw in a tasting. We chose not to do one and went with what we would like and the guests still raved over the food.

BVI staff member Jennifer was also extremely helpful on the day of, making sure everything ran smoothly. We hosted a brunch for our guests, and the breakfast buffet was incredible! We even added an omelet station on, and our guests loved it! The wait and bar staff were very attentive, and the cupcakes that we had for dessert were out of this world! It was the perfect space for our number of guests, and the general atmosphere is so perfect the space hardly needed any extra decorations! We would highly recommend BVI for any event! We considered BVI for our wedding venue but they were already booked!

t only comes with years of experience and training. I especially want to thank the bridal planners who played such a big role in making me feel comfortable and confident in our planning. I have nothing but good things to say about our experience and would highly recommend BVI to any bride looking to be WOWed and absolutely dotted on on her big day.

re obviously breathtaking, romantic, and dreamy. However, beyond all of this what made our experience so magical was our wedding coordinator Olivia. Of course she was knowledgeable, creative, helpful, organized, and professional but Olivia felt like family from the start and that made the lasting impression. She was there to answer all of my little/silly questions along the way with a smile. Most importantly, she was there with a calmness and confidence when the weather turned leading up to the wedding ultimately raining on our day. Olivia, along with the day of manager Brittany, were so flexible coordinating with us to make last minute changes and I never felt pressured or stressed. I am so glad we chose BVI to host our special day, as well as our rehearsal dinner. Everything and everyone were so amazing through and through. Oh, and while it did rain we luckily ended up with a rainbow!

te through the constant changes. The venue is gorgeous. The food and catering staff are fantastic. When you visit the BVI and The Grand you feel right at home. We will continue to spend time at the BVI for years to come!

the planning for our wedding event. The day was beautiful and the ceremony went off without a hitch. Truly exceptional!

y step of the way to help create my dream wedding in the safest way possible. We cannot say enough wonderful things about how beautiful the space was and how delicious all of the food and drinks were. Guests commented on what an amazing and perfect wedding day it was, and we could not agree more! Our wedding coordinator, Brianna, was instrumental in our planning process. She worked with us and helped us take our 155 person wedding to less than 40 without compromising anything! She was kind, knowledgeable, patient, and SO incredibly helpful. Working with her made a stressful experience so much easier. Thank you Brianna, and BVI, for your part in making our day so special! We cannot wait to come back to celebrate our anniversary for years to come! Best, Lauren & Matt

BVI were THE BEST <3 <3 <3. From our hair and makeup artists at the Luxe Salon, the Banquet Manager and the most lovable and kindest Wedding Planner. Brianna made our experience not only stress free, but enjoyable. She was professional, knowledgeable and personable. As we were planning our wedding, there were many questions and concerns that Brianna promptly addressed putting us as ease. She was a pleasure to work with. We would recommend the Bedford Village Inn for any event and especially Brianna as the Event Manager. With kindest regards, Judy & Denise

e worked with made the whole process as stress-free as they possibly could have. Olivia and Melissa worked with us most closely, and they were constantly on top of keeping us informed, giving us options and supporting whatever we chose to do, and working to accommodate our vendors. They were so patient and positive through everything. When a new restriction came up the week of the wedding, they were calling/facetiming/emailing pictures, etc. to let us know exactly how things would need to be changed and to make sure we were happy. When it came to the wedding day, we were so supported by the day-of coordinators who also went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. The reception staff even handled a rowdy guest situation so professionally that the groom and I had no idea anything had ever happened. Despite all the unexpected that came along with covid, our rehearsal dinner and reception were everything we dreamed of and more thanks to this beautiful place and the staff who are so invested in making your day perfect and making you feel as though you're the only couple they're focused on. Thank you for everything!!

to NH. We discovered BVI and signed our contract the night of our first meeting with Brianna George. Throughout the entire process Brianna was extremely helpful, organized and communicative in our planning. She was extremely patient through all of our questions and details (we had to fit a lot in 6 weeks!). The property itself is perfect and lends itself to a "weekend wedding" - all of our guests stayed on property, we held our Rehearsal Dinner at the Grand, used the Spa and had a post-wedding breakfast at the Tavern. Our guests loved being on property and made everything super convenient. The reception was perfection, everything stuck to schedule and the food and drink were spectacular! I couldn't recommend BVI enough and we're SO glad to get married at BVI!

ful and the whole staff acted with such professionalism. It was a joy to have my wedding here!

re amazing to work with from beginning to end ensuring our day was as seamless and stress-free as possible, which is not an easy task in the midst of a pandemic. They were very accommodating with our situation in regards to rescheduling/re-planning our wedding 3 times prior at a different venue due to COVID-19. Everyone we encountered there was professional, attentive, and focused on making our wedding the best it could be. If you have Brianna as your event coordinator, know you are in great hands. Not only responsive and caring, but she thought of and accounted for every detail even I didn't think of. She made it her personal goal that everything was exactly as we had envisioned. Our bridal assistant, Brittney was also wonderful- she made sure we had everything we needed, checked in with us just enough without being overbearing, and packed up all of our belongings/décor at the end of the night. Thank you BVI for allowing us to finally have the wedding we have always dreamt of. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!

the whole planning process. And the day of the wedding was run so smoothly and without any issues. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day and the BVI made that possible! BOOK THIS VENUE!!!

ng experience planning a whole new wedding in a months time thanks to Melissa, Molly and Marlena. BVI has their weddings down pat. They know what they're doing! The location is perfect for a wedding. We had the rehearsal dinner here as well and every last detail was perfect. Food is phenomenal. Overall amazing experience, I HIGHLY recommend Bedford Village Inn!

ble and they have truly done everything in their power to make sure we are feeling good and still excited about our big day. We ended up eloping back in May at home but look forward to celebrating with the BVI on our new date in 2021. I would highly recommend working with them.

y replan our wedding! I would do it all over again!

otch and kept this nervous bride calm!!! Can't say enough good things about these people!

whelming to say the least. The team at BVI has made everything SO much easier. Nicolette has always been so helpful and responsive and now has dealt with my anxiety-filled emails/calls and secured our new date as soon as she could. Many of our guests had rooms booked at the Inn and the Grand. Once our new date was confirmed, the Group Bookings team (Candace, in particular), got right to work! They emailed all those guests, informed them the wedding was being postponed and offered to move their reservation or cancel and send a refund if needed. I am SO grateful for the BVI team helping us navigate this difficult time. This whole experience has only made me more excited for our wedding and solidified our decision to get married at BVI!

yson once said, “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” We visited the Bedford Village Inn (BVI) and it punched us in the mouth! The BVI was the first venue we visited and as it turned out it was also the last. The plan went out the window, but so too did any hesitation or reservations that we could have had. From the stone steps up through the inviting entryway, to the wooden columns and beams accented by rustic chandeliers, your eyes will bounce around until they land on the grand arrangement of windows that tie it all together. The charm of this place grabbed a hold of us and would not let go. As we walked around we could not help but envision that special day and what it would look like. The BVI had everything we could possibly need and the best part was that it was all in one place. There was no need to arrange for additional transportation or lodging because nobody had to go anywhere! The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, after party, and even the farewell brunch; all held on site. At the end of the day the venue really speaks for itself, but the thing that truly sets the BVI apart is the team that makes it all happen. From the jump we were made to feel like we mattered and each and every step of the way we were reminded of that through the actions and communication of the wonderful people that work here. Everyone that we encountered had a pleasant attitude and their efforts to ensure that our wedding day went off without a hitch will always be remembered. We’d like to single out a few people who we worked with the most as they left lasting impressions. It was an honor and a privilege to work with Nicolette and we are extremely appreciative of her guidance along the way. Now that we have officially made it through to the other side, we can both agree that planning a wedding is like putting together a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle. However, the biggest and most challenging difference being that no one hands you a box containing the exact number of perfectly-fitting pieces that you’ll need to assemble to create the finished product. Freedom of choice is great and all, but can also be extremely overwhelming given the myriad of options that exist out there. For us, it was like Nicolette was sitting at the table right there with us as we tried to find the right puzzle pieces. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table and encouraged us to lean on her if/when we needed direction or assistance with anything. We cannot imagine having planned this wedding without Nicolette by our side and we hope she knows that the puzzle wouldn’t have come out the way it did (perfect!) without her. Thank you Nicolette! The BVI will always hold a special place in our hearts and we’re forever grateful to the venue and the staff for helping us to create a lifetime of memories. We’re already looking forward to visiting again in the future!

s, a midnight balloon drop and champagne toast, the night was seriously unforgettable. If you’re looking for a beautiful, winter wonderland wedding, look no further. Our friends and family were appalled by how beautiful the venue was and how the BVI truly is like it’s own little Christmas town. We did our rehearsal dinner at the BVI as well and it was SO much fun to have friends and family bustling all around the venue, Inn, and hotel all dressed up like we owned the whole place. If you’re looking for a venue that has EVERYTHING on site (which is exactly what we wanted) the BVI works perfectly. Between a beautiful hotel for family (The Grand), The Inn for the wedding party, the venue itself, The Tavern for drinks during some down time, The Overlook room for the rehearsal dinner, the apartments for the rehearsal after-party (if you’re like us haha), and a salon to get ready in with your girls- it’s literally PERFECT. We had our wedding party stay in The Inn and they thought it was so cool how they could walk to each other’s room so easily and could look down at our venue decorated to the nines. Not to mention the food is unbelievable. We got multiple comments on our wedding having the best food of any wedding people had been to. One person even mentioned it was the best filet they’d ever had. The next day 30 person brunch is sweet too, and definitely beneficial if you do an open bar and people need fuel the next day ha! A few downsides we faced- we got word quite a few people had to wait at The Inn front desk for a long time before anyone helped them (after ringing the bell) and often forgot to give them their complimentary champagne. If you’re looking to negotiate prices with a venue, this might not be the venue for you- it’s their way or no way. We loved the venue too much to turn it down due to this, but there is no negotiating. We had an issue with wanting to rent out the entire Inn and apartment suites for both nights- rehearsal and wedding, and due to the BVIs change in employment, they booked out an apartment to a random couple and wouldn’t budge when we wanted this taken care of (this was on the night of the wedding so was kind of a major bummer). Aside from a few complaints, I am SO glad we chose the BVI as our NYE wedding venue. I would send Nicolette super long emails with tons of questions and she would get back to me very timely and thoroughly. She was great! She also worked so diligently with us on special requests- making a balloon drop at midnight happen, sparklers as guests exit, and timing the midnight champagne toast up perfectly. Overall, we had such a spectacular NYE wedding/ party at the BVI!

re for the weekend, etc., and BVI truly had it all. In addition, the Great Hall is absolutely breathtaking in the winter months with the holiday decor and coziness. Brianna, our wedding coordinator, was the absolute BEST and assisted with all of our questions and ideas in the months/year leading up to our wedding day. She then worked closely with our day-of coordinator, Shannon, to ensure the day itself was absolutely perfect. From start to finish, we wouldn't have changed a thing about our experience with BVI. Also, we ended up using their recommended vendors for both our florist and DJ, and were so happy we did.

nough to stay until 5 on a weekday so my fiancé and I left work early at 3 to be there at 5. It poured rain, the traffic was horrendous, and it took us over 2 hours to drive 30 miles. When I called and emailed Brianna to say we would be 15 minutes late, she replied that she doesn’t work past 5 but would leave us a brochure and we could walk through the facilities ourselves. Seriously? Not what we took time off work and drove 2 hours for. Also didn’t leave a great impression as to how her and her staff would handle our wedding. This was our first time looking at a venue and it turned what should’ve been a fun and exciting experience into a disappointing disaster. After we took our “self-guided” tour, she never followed up. Felt like we weren’t a priority since we were having a smaller winter wedding and therefore less $$$. I also wasn’t impressed with the facilities. While the main hall is beautiful, the hotel feels old and the advertised outdoor “patio” for cocktail hour is tiny with a view of the parking lot. We decided to go with Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, MA, which is by far more beautiful and the staff could not be more attentive and accommodating. For those of you looking for a similar type venue at the same price point, check out Willowdale.

can't be beat for beauty and coziness—when we walked in the first time, while still scouting locations, my now-husband and I knew immediately it was the perfect place for our wedding. With all that said, it's certainly not an inexpensive location, so we were fortunate to be able to make it work. I'm so glad we chose the BVI, and it truly felt like the perfect wedding. :)

was incredibly responsive and guided us through the whole process 2 yrs out from our date, answering any question no matter how general or specific. We had our rehearsal dinner in the overlook room and found it just so convenient for our guests to have all activities localized to the property (versus busing people here and there). We had welcome gathering at the Grande lobby bar, and this was great too, but did feel a little tight at times. The FOOD is OUTSTANDING here.. our guests complimented us nonstop saying the filet was steakhouse quality and "this is the best wedding food we've ever had." If you want to be taken care of, you are on excellent hands here. It is a bit costly but you get what you pay for!

all of the set up and break down for you--a life saver! We had a bunch of family from out of town, so the hotel on-site was key, as was the salon. Brianna had everything down every step of the way, and was always willing to work with us on whatever we wanted, which was great peace of mind. The day-of coordinator and bridal assistant made the wedding ceremony and reception seamless and amazing. The Bedford Village Inn clearly does weddings often, and they will make your dream day come true. They did for me!

day of coordinator Shannon, everything was exactly how we imagined and more! When you spend as much time and effort planning as we did, it's nice to see your venue is just as thoughtful with their execution. Absolutely AMAZING!!

than on my own wedding day. The cops showed up and said don’t worry this happens “all the time” with the BVI. When a sober cop and multiple physician friends tried to talk to the security guard, he offered no explanation. I was told later one of my guests may have been smoking marijuana outside. No one told me this but instead they just called the police on me. When I signed my contract I was told the inn including the “milk room” was ours for the entirety of the night. Instead because of a drug incident weeks prior, you have to be in your rooms. If the wedding coordInator like in our case, states you can use the room for pizza etc at night do not believe it unless you want to risk being in handcuffs. On top of which, the bridal attendant and coordinator, aka Shannon, was extremely rude to the mother of the bride and the brides maids and were absentee the rest of the night “because we were mean to her.” Now weeks later everyone at work (I’m a medical resident) is only talking about the cops and not the fact we got married. I talked to the GM and the owner about these issues and the Arrogant GM just said I was lying essentially. The owner was very pleasant but on the other hand got fed false information about how his staff did no wrong and it was my guests fault that they mistreated me and my wife on our wedding day. Please stay away as it seems great leading up to the wedding but you may just be another victim of the cops being called on you on your wedding day.

d Shannon helped coordinate all the timeline and vendors seamlessly so that we could enjoy the day not have to worry about the details. The food was to die for and we really loved having so many options to choose from to make the menu our own. I cannot recommend the BVI enough, it was truly a magical time.

wedding and helped the bridal party and I navigate where and when we needed to be places. I cannot thank the Bedford Village Inn enough.

the BVI. The service, day of, was amazing. I literally did not lift a finger all day, Shannon and Marlena were on top of everything. Both were very positive and they put myself and my husband at ease all day long. We received compliments on the food all night and the following day. Unfortunately, we only got to eat a small portion of our dinner and it was thrown out before we had a chance to finish. Another slight negative was the bar closed a bit earlier than expected causing the party to come to a halt early. Both of the above negatives are very slight in comparison to the absolute professionalism of everyone at the BVI, from our amazing coordinators to the waitstaff. We highly recommend BVI for anyone getting married, you will be in great hands.

ng, to the care and attention while we got ready in the Bridal Suite, to the event itself, the team worked together like a beautiful symphony to ensure the most wonderful and memorable evening. Thank you to those who oversaw the wedding, preserved the cake top and the decorative flowers, and even helped us pack up. We all left with a big smile!

dinner here if you’d like!) The property is beautiful and well kept. My fiancé and I did not want a barn wedding or a ballroom wedding- but we wanted something in between, BVI was the perfect match! We have been calling it “rustic chic”:) Brianna, our planning coordinator at the BVI, is amazing. She is professional, kind, and thoughtful about her work. The food at the BVI is amazing— we did the buffet stations and our guests could not stop talking about how remarkable the food was. The brunch the morning after was also amazing! The wait staff were diligent and on top of EVERYTHING. When my husband and I were eating, Ashley (a member of the wait staff) stood by our table and kindly asked guests to give us a moment to eat. It helped my husband and I not look like the bad guys-everyone at the BVI was willing to help in any way they possibly could to make our wedding day a dream come true. Finally, the hotel rooms are luxurious and cozy. I cannot say enough positive things about the BVI. My husband and I will be returning year after year for our anniversaries!

and I fell in love with this place instantly. We made a weekend out of it, having the rehearsal dinner there and then staying the beautiful Grand hotel next door. We danced the night away at our wedding then had an after party in one the suites at the Inn. It’s awesome having your wedding party stay at the Inn because you have the entire place to yourselves. The day after the wedding we all had breakfast in the tavern and then some guests even stayed and we hung out in the outdoor salt water hot tub back at the Grand hotel. We got married in February and I never thought I wanted a winter wedding but after researching dozens of places and realizing how expensive places are, we decided to book the Bedford Village Inn. They give you such good deals and you get a lot for your money. All of our guests are still raving how nice this place is! Do yourselves a favor and check this place out! You will not be disappointed!!

level of service, attention to detail and work the BVI was willing to put in to make your wedding exactly what we had in mind. Nicolette was our wedding coordinator throughout the planning process and she is absolutely incredible. We happened to be getting married the same weekend as her so we had some help from other staff members during the event (all of this we knew far in advance) and no one missed a beat. They set up absolutely everything, were attentive to us throughout the weekend, and made the event a night we will never, ever forget. They completely managed the event for us from a coordination standpoint, but even the little things stood out to us like giving us champagne as soon as we walked down the aisle after our ceremony, following us around with appetizers during the cocktail hour, gathering my bouquet and our cake topper and placing them in our room so we wouldn't forget them. On top of everything, we received and are still receiving compliments about how gorgeous the venue was and how wonderful the food was. I can't say enough about this wonderful venue and their staff. You will not regret booking with them, and the icing on the cake is that you can always go back to stay and celebrate your anniversary! Thank you for everything Nicolette and BVI Staff!!

ay of the wedding were very attentive and professional and made sure the venue looked beautiful to celebrate our wedding day! All guests complemented how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was!

everything in between. They went above and beyond to make our day everything it should have been. We worked with two different coordinators (one left) and both were responsive, kind, and so helpful. If you get Brianna as your coordinator, you’ll be in great hands. All of the staff were great and it’s all so beautiful. They all truly pay attention to details and it makes a difference. It’s definitely not cheap but it is worth the money in our opinion! We originally wanted to get married Labor Day Weekend but it was pre-booked TWO YEARS IN ADVANCE! WE chose a different date a week earlier. If this is your top choice, don’t delay! We would 100% recommend it!

utlery, and a day of bridal coordinator.

to relax and enjoy the day with our family and friends. We could not have planned our wedding without Melissa Samaras!!! She was a complete godsend: patient (no question was ever too small), accessible (always made herself available and was quick to respond), flexible (went the extra mile to make sure our needs were met), knowledgeable (provided great guidance as we planned our multicultural wedding), professional (great at her job and a complete pleasure to work with)! Planning a wedding can be hard work and Melissa was incredibly helpful over the almost 10 months of planning. The venue itself is beautiful and the grounds and rooms are well taken care of. The BVI was the perfect choice for us and our wedding day really exceeded our expectations. We are so appreciative of the support of the entire BVI staff!

od tasting, to our final detail meetings and to our wedding! They were so professional, helpful, organized and genuinely happy to help plan our wedding day. Brianna was so thoughtful and attentive throughout the entire process. Nicolette even came to see me walk down the aisle on her day off. She was so calming right before I walked down the aisle! The venue is beautiful. The wait staff and bridal attendant Sarah were fabulous and so attentive. Give all these ladies a raise, they deserve it! Thank you to the BVI, Brianna, Nicolette and Sarah! Also Diane in group bookings was wonderful to work with. She deserves a raise too! We can’t wait to return to spend the night for our wedding anniversary, hopefully even sooner!

le, her attention to detail made me (who wants to make sure I have thought of every last detail) relax and enjoy the process. Everything from the tour of the property to the tasting to dropping off our items the week of the wedding went seamlessly. Our guests are still talking about the cocktail hour in the garden, the speciality cocktails, the incredible food, the brunch the next morning and the staff who were so kind and so accommodating and just the property overall. They also took special care of a family member in a wheelchair who needed special access to the garden and a bathroom, as well as our guests with food allergies. We were also in awe of how accommodating they were for Dan and I. They got my veil and clips back to the room, helped us check in, had a wonderful dessert, champagne and pieces of our wedding cake waiting for us in our room after the wedding ended. We also had a congratulations note from our bridal attendant which was such a special surprise. Bedford Village Inn is the most warm and welcoming venue, I cannot wait to go back for an anniversary trip! :)

worry about a thing! The food was amazing, the décor in the Great Hall was stunning, and the service was great. It was so nice to have the whole Inn to ourselves the night of the wedding, we had a blast. Kelly was my bridal attendant and she took care of my husband and I the whole night. Cannot recommend this place enough! Loved everything about it.

continued support throughout the entire process made all the difference. In addition it was so nice having the venue, hotels, salon and tavern all at the same location. We parked on Friday and did not have to drive again until we left on Sunday. We would like t0 express our thanks for a job very well done.

many questions. Something else I appreciated was we never felt like we were getting up sold - Nicolette would give us her honest opinion which in many cases, ended in us choosing a less expensive option then we initially thought. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch. It being a winter wedding, the Great Hall was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and Nicolette and her team even worked the day before to remove some items that read a little too Christmassy for us. The hall truly sparkled with candals and white fairy lights. Once guests arrived the entire hall felt so warm and full of love. The ceremony took place inside, and while we were a little concerned about switching it over for the reception, the staff at the BVI are true professionals and had the entire room switched over before people came back from their first cocktail! Dinner was astounding, people were shocked how a venue could possibly cook over 100 filets perfectly!! Once dancing started the Inn transformed into a room full of dancing and did not stop until the last shuttle bus left. Having the entire Inn to ourselves for the evening was so special, and meant the party did not have to stop as we went to the Summit Suite for the after party. The entire evening felt like we were in our own home with our favorite family and friends celebrating love - and I do not think you can ask of anything more out of a wedding venue! Thank you again BVI!!!
