About This Vendor

Setting the Stage for Truly Extraordinary Weddings

The Bedford Village Inn, located in Bedford, NH, is a luxurious wedding venue and boutique hotel. Situated on the site of a former working farm, this 10-acre setting underwent a major restoration to turn it into the stylish event space it is today. Here, the natural beauty of the surrounding area is combined with classic New England charm. An award-winning hotel, The Bedford Village Inn is conveniently located just 10 miles from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. The site of the inn was originally known as the Gordon Farm and covered 50 acres of farmland. A farmhouse was built in 1810, which still sits on the property today. The inn itself opened in October 1986, after years of the community coming together to save and renovate the historic farm. The inn is found in what used to be the old livestock barn, while the farmhouse was renovated and transformed into a restaurant. Each space offers various period elements to add to the atmosphere, from antiques to wallpaper and woodwork. Owners Jack and Andrea Carnevale, together with their team, work hard every day to make the inn somewhere to-be-weds can make their dreams come true. Weddings held at The Bedford Village Inn can have up to 250 guests. You can also host an intimate celebration with as few as 12 of your nearest and dearest. With a choice of versatile event spaces, you are free to find the one that best fits your nuptial vision. The Grand Hall, the largest available space, is available for both ceremonies and receptions. You can exchange vows in the adjoining courtyard for a romantic outdoor celebration, gently illuminated by bistro lights. Indoor ceremonies are held in the hall, in front of the bow window. A day-of special event manager remains on-site throughout the day, helping to coordinate every detail. Various packages are on offer, with features including hors d'oeuvres and a champagne toast. Your day's festivities can also be held in the Grand Charolais Room. This space features a dance floor, a private bar, and a stately fireplace. There is also an adjoining terrace, so you can mingle with your loved ones in the fresh New England air. Ceremonies can be held in the Grand Gardens, while the room can be used for cocktail hours. Cuisine can be provided by head chef Tina Verville as part of the inn's wedding packages. Once the celebrations have drawn to a close, you and your loved ones are invited to stay overnight in the inn's 64 elegant suites.

We recently got married at BVI and cannot say enough good things about our experience! Going into the wedding planning process we knew we wanted a beautiful venue that could host an outdoor ceremony and had accommodations on-site for guests. Th...
e BVI checked off all our boxes and then some! Not only did we have a wedding coordinator helping us throughout the planning process but also a bridal attendant and day of coordinator on our wedding day (which we didn't realize how important that was). Molly Brennan, our wedding coordinator, was simply amazing! She was super responsive to all our questions/requests and made the wedding planning process easy! She even helped put together different displays we had for our wedding day. The venue also offers a range of beautiful décor (both included or available for rent) which helped to easily bring our romantic vibe/vision to life. Going into our wedding day, we were calm because we knew the team would execute our vision seamlessly and they did! With our day-of coordinator, everything went smoothly from the ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. The only issue that day was figuring out my dress bustle which our coordinator successfully resolved. Overall, the staff really went out of their way to make sure me, my husband, and guests were taken care of. In fact, our guests raved about the wait staff. The brunch the next day was also a fantastic way to close out the weekend events. I cannot recommend BVI enough to those looking for a full service wedding venue!

All the staff made it so easy so we could enjoy our day. I would recommend BVI and their amazing staff for anyone getting married. They helped make our day so special and we couldn’t thank them enough! 🤍

he Grand make it such an easy and wonderful experience for guests to stay on site the entire weekend. We hosted our rehearsal dinner at one of their locations as well and it was perfect. Aside from the beauty of the space, the service and professionalism is 10/10. We were so taken care of, and the mannerism of each person working there was of the utmost professionalism. Olivia was our wedding coordinator, and we cannot speak more highly of her. She is the sweetest, kindest person, on top of being such a consummate professional who is quick to help, so knowledgeable and extremely efficient. In addition, the food at the BVI is INCREDIBLE. So many of our guests say its the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Holding your wedding at the BVI is so special, we couldn't recommend it more.
Any questions?

BVI truly made our wedding dreams come true on August 31st, 2023. My husband and I started wedding planning only 8 months prior to our wedding day due to learning about some sudden illnesses in our family. BVI and our coordinator Molly were abs...
olutely amazing at making our wedding planning process as painless as possible. We got married on a Thursday and it was the best decision we could've made. We were able to stay at the Inn the night before the wedding and hold our rehearsal dinner on site at the Tavern. All our wedding party and close family was able to stay with us both the night before and the night of the wedding. This is a MASSIVE perk that I have never seen anywhere but a destination wedding. Not having to travel before or after the wedding on that day was amazing. Our coordinator Molly helped us through the entire process. She was so responsive to our emails, planned meetings with us, and even talked me through a panic attack right before walking down the aisle. She set every decoration and detail up for us and when I tell you it literally looked like something straight off a Pinterest board I am not kidding. To be able to just relax the morning of our wedding was huge, but to walk downstairs to such a beautiful set up was incredible. Even with last minute changes and delays the day-of, BVI was easy to work with and kind every step of the way. My husband and I are on the younger side, and the first of our families and most of our friends to get married. We had no idea what we were doing and they helped us have the most incredible day possible. I would recommend anyone to book the BVI for their wedding due to their incredible service (and BTW the drinks and food are to die for), the absolute beauty of the venue and the ability to just relax and have a stress free day (as much as possible). We couldn't have asked for anything more.

ent we stepped foot into BVI, saw its beauty, and heard about all they offer for rehearsal dinner, room accommodations, and wedding ceremony/reception we knew it was the place for us. It’s like a one stop shop for your wedding weekend! One of the best parts was that we received a wedding planning coordinator to help us plan our big day! Madison was with us every step of the way for 18 months and she never missed a beat. She was so well organized, thoughtful, attentive, professional, and personable. She was even on board when I told her I wanted to dye my hair pink in the middle of dinner service, during my outfit change, to kick off the party! Having her there for the big day made me feel so relaxed since she knew the details of our wedding inside and out. I truly can’t thank her enough for all she has done <3 Moving onto wedding weekend – we had friends and family stay at the Inn and the Grand Hotel. For anyone thinking the rooms are a little pricey, let me tell you, you get your moneys worth! Everyone thought so! The rooms are luxurious, the grounds are beautiful, and the staff are extremely helpful and attentive. Now, for day of – I literally felt like a princess. From the food delivery for lunch for myself and the bridesmaids, to the staff decorating the venue, to Madison making sure every little décor detail was perfect, to Madison and the day of coordinator making sure everything ran smoothly, to the bridal attendant making sure my husband and I had everything we needed throughout the night, etc. I could go on and on. I never had to worry about anything other than getting married to my best friend because the staff took care of everything. We needed wheelchair accommodations, which I was a little concerned about, but BVI delivered. My relative who needed wheelchair accessibility usually has a tough time at weddings but not this one! She was helped by staff for access to the elevator to get to the reception area and had plenty of space to move around the venue and within the bathroom. I also have to add that the food is just delicious. A relative said it was the best filet he’s ever had! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue/team for our big day! It was the BEST day ever and we have BVI, Madison, and the other staff to thank for that. Everything came together better than I even imagined!! All of our guests were so impressed and in awe of the venue. I highly recommend having your wedding at BVI. The venue is timelessly beautiful, the staff is amazing, and you will have the best day, they’ll make sure of it!

I recently had my wedding at the BVI on May 20, 2023 and I can't say enough great things about the venue and staff there. First I would like to start off with if you are thinking about getting married here you NEED Olivia as your wedding coordi...
nator. She is way beyond a Wedding Coordinator and the sweetest most genuine person. She was always prepared and organized for every meeting we had with her, helped walk me through every process and timeline and was always there to answer the most ridiculous questions that my husband and I had for her. She was comforting in the times I needed when plans didn't go as expected. She will always hold a special place in our hearts and I will truly miss talking to her every day! It absolutely down poured on my wedding day in which all of the plans I had for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour had to be organized indoors last minute. As any Bride would be I was beyond upset and Olivia was there to comfort me and ensure my Wedding Day was going to be everything I dreamed of and I can honestly say it was. The BVI staff flipped the room multiple times in which some of my guests had no idea that the plan was to even have anything outside. Every guest had great things to say about all the food. If you have a wedding with over 150 guests I would suggest to get the second bar set up, we didn't and I regretted it after. The only reason I am giving the Venue 4 stars is due to the accommodations for getting ready the day of your Wedding. It can be a bit hectic given there is a lot of moving parts. You have to move from the Grand hotel over to the Venue in which the staff did an amazing job of helping myself and all my guests move their belongings. There is a room they provide the Bride and the Bridesmaids to get ready in but it is a bit small and they don't allow outside food and beverage, purchasing from the BVI is extremely expensive and the portions are very small. Once your hotel room is ready you then have to move anything you have with you for getting ready into the hotel room which can also just be an added stress. Nothing that ruined my day but just something to be aware of! There was no designated area for the Groom and Groomsmen to get ready aside from spending additional money on a hotel room at the Grand in which we did not want to do. Olivia and the staff made sure that a room at the BVI would be ready early enough for the groomsmen to have a space which I very much appreciated! And although it was down the hall from where I was getting ready I did not see the Groom once.

y question that I could think of that would keep me up at night, she had a quick and thorough answer to. She was there when we first toured the venue, she was there throughout all of the planning, and she was there the whole weekend to help set up our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and post-wedding breakfast. She made our wedding absolutely perfect! Bedford Village Inn checked all of the boxes for us. An all-inclusive venue was a requirement for us, and Bedford Village Inn has it all: beautiful and comfortable hotel rooms for guests to stay on site, delicious food (one of our guests said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had), and they were able to accommodate ALL of our wedding events on site. On the day of, our Event Manager and Bridal Attendants handled the flow of events, communicated with all of our vendors, and made sure that me and the groom, our parents, and our wedding party were well fed and provided for with refreshments. Bedford Village Inn also offers decorations that you can rent, like drapes, candles, and table numbers. We didn’t need to bring anything to the venue besides our wedding outfits and guestbook. This venue truly took the stress out of wedding planning. We were so taken care of and Molly made us feel like our wedding was the most important event in the world. When I was flustered before the ceremony, I handed her the rest of our tip envelopes and she made sure to distribute them to our vendors. Right before the ceremony on a scorching summer day, Molly used her own shirt to dab my sweaty face before I walked down the aisle. I cannot say enough positive things about Molly and Bedford Village Inn; we look forward to returning for our anniversaries!

We had planned for an outdoor ceremony but out of nowhere it started to rain. The BVI staff flipped over the venue in under 10 minutes and we had an absolutely beautiful ceremony. The food was once again phenomenal. Finally, the rooms at the inn were gigantic and the perfect place for an afterparty. We could not have been happier with our wonderful experience.

The staff went out of their way to set up inside as it was our rain plan but sn hour before the ceremony when the sun peaked out they all hustled to set up the garden so we could have our dream come true. This was more work and stress for them but they did it with grace. They even stayed outside to support us in the last 5 minutes of our ceremony when it began to rain. (Thanks Britney!) That determination and dedication is what makes them so incredible. I always had someone with food/drinks for me (thanks Brooke!). And any/every question I had Olivia was ON TOP of. She responded in minutes day off and hours all the years leading up to the big day. Her presence alone made me feel safe, beautiful and excited.

She went out of her way to make sure we were accommodated every moment of our weekend. The rest of the stuff including the day of coordinators and booking department were incredible as well. We knew the BVI was something special when we came down to the Great Hall after everything was set up and saw that they had gorgeously supplemented our stations and items with the most gorgeous extra decor from their own collection (for example, for our guest book phone table we only brought the phone and a sign, but they added stunning faux greenery, pilar candles, and a box stand for the phone). There was not a single moment during our weekend where we were concerned, lost, or confused. Thank you BVI and Madison for your hard work in making our day feel like a fairytale!

My husband and I were recently married over Memorial Day Weekend. For the most part it was a lovely experience, however we had one very unfortunate incident that ruined everyone in the wedding party and our family’s morning, and is the reason f...
or the low review. It was completely avoidable and should’ve been rectified by hotel staff faster than it was. The hotel moves guests &their belongings from their Grand hotel to the Inn the day before their wedding. During this process my veil was misplaced by housekeeping. It took hours on the morning of my wedding to figure out what had happened to my veil and my morning was unnecessarily chaotic. Because the room move happened the day before my wedding, this problem was avoidable. My veil had my name and information clearly attached to the duster. It should have been noted by hotel staff upon check in that my husband and I were the bride and groom. It is not a large hotel and this kind of oversight and lack of attention to detail is unacceptable. On the morning of your wedding there is only so much time in the day and it was unsatisfactory how the staff handled the entire situation. The hotel staff were not very helpful with accelerating the search for my veil until my coordinator came in around 9ish. At that point, it had already been over 2 hours of high emotion and chaos trying to understand what happened during the move. Then, “all of a sudden” around 11am, my veil appeared & was miraculously in lost and found. I still to this day do not understand why lost and found wasn’t immediately checked by their staff, but it wasn’t. The hotel moves your ‘tagged’ belongings from one room to another on their property, but I am not sure what their policy is for untagged items. It should’ve been brought to housekeeping’s attention that the room was occupied by a bride and groom & one would think to hopefully pay closer attention to something that may have accidentally not been ‘tagged’ and left behind. After the incident my husband and I contacted the General Manager Tom and Director of Lodging Candace to discuss the matter, they are two of the most unprofessional individuals I have dealt with. They made comments like “it was only a few hours,” which was insensitive to the fact that they day goes by in the blink of an eye. They lack any basic customer service on how to deal with people, they did not care about what had happened. Other than Olivia the wedding coordinator, no one at the hotel seemed to have urgency to want to help resolve the matter of my veil on the morning of my wedding. Candace and Tom take no responsibility for the chaos that ensued that morning, even though it was their staff, and Candace continued to remind me that it was only a ‘few hours.’ However, your wedding morning is only a few hours..

As a type A bride who wants control of everything, having my wedding at the BVI truly allowed me to enjoy the weekend. Imagine showing up to your wedding weekend, and being able to fully relax and immerse yourself fully in the moment, knowing everything is being taken care of to your (and their!) standards. That is the gift BVI gives you. The food and drinks were amazing. The Charolais Room is beautiful, and you need minimal decor. Our ceremony was in the Garden, which was intimate, private, and serene. I cannot recommend Bedford Village Inn enough.

The Bedford Village Inn was even better than I could have imagined in so many ways. I can't say enough how gorgeous this venue was for our January wedding, or how much we loved our planner, Molly. Months later and people are still talking about...
what a beautiful venue it was and how delicious all the food was. Molly was super responsive and made us feel so taken care of. She had brilliant suggestions from the bakery we ended up using for our cake (honestly, the best cake I have ever had) and the string trio we hired for our on-site ceremony, to the more intricate details like our day of timeline and arranging our first look. Molly even helped fluff my train before I walked down the aisle, along with the other wonderful attendants they made available to me that day. Everything went so smoothly and I didn’t need to worry about a thing. We also had our rehearsal dinner on-site at Cork's Wine Bar and the wedding party was all able to stay on-site, taking away any potential travel stress for the actual wedding. Our pictures in the Milk Room honestly look like a beautiful watercolor painting, as if it all were a dream. I can’t recommend Bedford Village Inn, and Molly, enough.

ing couples happy. From our first tour, to our tasting, to the final detail appointments, and even our wedding day, Madison was there to make sure we were happy and taken care of. Our wedding went off perfectly. Having seen the venue and tasted the food at BVI, we had high expectations, and the team went above and beyond those expectations. Due to weather, our ceremony was moved from outside to inside, but it was beautifully set up. After our ceremony, our wedding party was greeted in the milk room with cocktails and the appetizers our guests were also enjoying. I know a lot of brides and grooms don’t get to try their cocktail hour apps, not at BVI! Our party was 10 (including our families) and we were brought a constant flow of delicious food. Our server also made sure we all had plenty of drinks through our photo session. The weather cleared enough for us to get outside for pictures, and the grounds are beautiful. We even got some cool fog effects in one location, as I believe the venue had laundry going in the basement. How cool! BVI has in house chefs, and a decent selection of meals to offer. We selected the herb roasted chicken, the roasted sirloin, and the trio of grains as the vegetarian option. Dinner was delicious, and the chef makes the extra effort to accommodate all food allergies and preferences. Our guests were so thankful to be not just accommodated, but to be well and truly taken care of. Nobody left hungry. The staff was pleasant and professional. You can tell they genuinely cared and wanted to make sure our day was special. They even left a few surprises for us in the bridal suite, which I won’t give away! I guess what I’m trying to say is this: if you’re looking for the perfect venue, BVI should be the top of your list.

. 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 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!!

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.

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.

We have not even had our wedding yet and I felt compelled to write a review for the BVI. We were supposed to get married on May 16th but, due the Corona Virus, we had to postpone to November. The past few weeks have been stressful, sad and over...
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!

Like many other newly engaged couples we figured we would be hitting the circuit: touring a handful of venues, listening to multiple pitches, and enjoying all of the spoils that come along the way. That was the plan anyhow, but like Iron Mike T...
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!

My husband and I got married at the BVI on NYE and we may be biased, but aesthetically it was the most beautiful wedding we’ve ever been to. Between the beautiful Harrington flowers we had all over, tons of gold sequin & decor from Dee’s Linen...
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!

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.

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.
Response from the Vendor on 09/12/2019

e a luxury property offering unparalleled service, as one can see through our very many 5-star reviews. That being mentioned, when a review such as this is released, we feel obligated to respond. We would first like to apologize for offending you when we came across members of this party smoking marijuana, which was witnessed by multiple staff members, and illegal in the state of NH. We were sadly left with no choice. Further, the Police were called due to a multitude of instances that transpired over the weekend with the use of illegal drugs being the act justifying us in doing so. We would like to further comment that we would have like to have called the police sooner given the blatant disrespect for our team members and property that was displayed the weekend of these events. Not only were multiple members of our team verbally assaulted by the above group by being called names such as “Bitch” & “Fag”, our Security Detail was also verbally disrespected and our Front Desk supervisor accosted when a member of this group hostilely jumped over our front desk, grabbing our property phone out of their hands, and throwing it to the floor to prevent us from calling the police. That statement alone proves worthy of a call into the local authorities for the safety of your guests and our team members. Marijuana was being smoked not only the night of the wedding but the night of the rehearsal dinner. When we kindly asked for that to cease, a group of partakers responded to the gentleman enforcing our company policies and also upholding to the laws of NH by calling him a one of the profanities mentioned above and heckling this individual. We cannot express how this was not taken lightly and further how highly insulting, inappropriate and hurtful these comments were. Following this happening the evening of the rehearsal dinner, we proceeded as if nothing happened and continued on with one main focus, making sure the group enjoyed their time here with us. So yes, some of our team may have “shied” away slightly but only in hopes of not eliciting any further conflict and to allow for you to enjoy your time. That does not mean that they were not present and not executing everything to the fullest of their capabilities. We do not feel that anyone on property was misled as to what transpired over the weekend but what does not settle right with us is your displeasure. Reviews as these place us in a hard position as we have the utmost best intentions with our guests and very sadly you were displeased. We must stand up for what is right and there are lines that were crossed not allowing for us to swallow the mistreatment directed to us here on property. While writing this, we wish the weekend played out differently and (all blame set aside, regardless of who is right) are very regretful that it resulted as it did.

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!!!
