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 210 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 Great 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 Erik Lourens 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.

I looked at so many venues for our wedding, and BVI was the only one I kept coming back to on my list and the only one we toured. I wanted a venue that was a little different than a typical ballroom, and BVI has the perfect amount of New England charm. As soon as we met our coordinator, Madison, I was sold! Madison was incredibly helpful during the whole planning process. Anytime I emailed her with a question she’d answer promptly and always with good advice. When we had our final details appointment, I knew I was in good hands. She went through every single thing and made us feel at ease about the big day. Madison REALLY blew me away on wedding weekend, though. I had a very specific vision for the decor for both our wedding and the rehearsal dinner, and she set everything up even better than I would have myself! She is so creative and didn’t miss a single detail! And she was also so kind and we felt like she was truly happy for us and our marriage. Allyson, the group bookings manager, was also so helpful and made the room booking process so easy for us and our guests! Really, the entire staff went above and beyond to take care of us. And we got so many compliments on the venue itself! It rained on our wedding day and I was really sad that we couldn’t have the outdoor ceremony I dreamt about, but having it indoors ended up being beautiful and the staff flipped the room before we even joined cocktail hour! It was also so nice that we were able to have our rehearsal dinner there and have all our guests stay right onsite so we didn’t have to leave all weekend. Our wedding at BVI truly exceeded my expectations and we can’t wait to come back and visit in the future. And one more shout out to Madison - consider yourself lucky if you get to work with her!

The Bedford Village Inn is by far the most INCREDIBLE venue by far. We got married on 1/17/25. Everything was perfect and the venue and their staff were a huge part of that. The second we toured the venue, we knew it was the one. Our wedding planner, Madison, was super friendly and answered any questions we had throughout the wedding planning process. One thing I especially liked about this venue, was that there was an online wedding planning suite so I could access all FAQ, details, vendor recommendations, and helpful tips while we planned. I knew we were in great hands, but when we did our Final Detail Appointment with Madison one month prior, I was put even more at ease because of how organized and well-thought out everything was. On top of that, we loved the convenience of having everything onsite, especially the inn room suites where we had our bridal party stay - Allyson was super helpful organizing this for us, including sending us updates on all rooming lists at the Grand. Even being able to have our rehearsal dinner onsite was a huge plus. We loved having access to the Wheeler Room and running back to our rooms if we needed to rest quickly or grab something. The onsite restaurant and bars were also a huge plus. It was nice not having to leave the venue once all weekend, or worrying about people traveling. Day of, Madison did a tremendous job setting up all our decor, and even coordinated with the photographer so we could do a first touch. Not only is the venue incredibly beautiful, but the entire staff exemplifies true hospitality. All night, we felt like royalty because our attendants made sure we had enough apps and drinks throughout the night. They were incredible and super helpful because otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to enjoy these items since we were running around saying hi to all our guests. Not to mention the food. OMG so good. I have a friend that specifically told me they are a "wedding food snob", and another that is a chef, and they both couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. It's been a week and I'm still on cloud 9 from the wedding day and I can't thank Madison and the staff enough. One of the best parts is that when we saw Madison after the wedding, we could tell she truly was so happy for us and eager to hear how the whole night went. Having someone that truly cares, goes a long way. I will be recommending this venue to everyone. Don't miss out on this opportunity!!!! (photos by July Night Studio)

We looked at a handful of different venues, all with their own unique vibe. However, we were sold the moment we walked into the Bedford Village Inn. From start to finish, the service was first class! Olivia provided us with everything we needed to know on our tour and helped us every step of the way. I know for some couples, non-negotiable holiday decor is a big no but BVI does such a beautiful and tasteful job. We had so many guests coming up to us saying how much they loved the decor and general set up of the Inn. You truly do get what you paid for! The food at our wedding was the best wedding food we have ever had and that's not just us saying it, but nearly every guest said the same thing! My wife and I highly recommend taking a tour and consulting with the lovely staff at Bedford Village Inn!!

My husband and I, along with our guests, cannot say enough great things about the BVI! This place holds a special place in our hearts as we’ve been frequent guests of the Christmas Eve dinner, so when it came to choosing a venue for our wedding, the BVI was already high on our list. That feeling was elevated from the get-go when we met with Madison for the first time for a tour. We both left after this meeting knowing that this was our top choice and after the whole process, we would get married here again and again! Madison was on top of things every time we talked to her, answering all of our questions, no matter how silly or small. One perk we took advantage of was the Styled by BVI option, which was wonderful! Melissa was so easy to work with, and the decor was truly a dream! The day of the wedding was perfection! Madison was amazing, making sure everything went exactly as we wished. It could not have been smoother! And everyone on the staff was incredible! Allyson was amazing handling all our hotel questions and concerns quickly and with care, and the rooms are incredible! Nikol was stellar! She made sure my husband and I had everything we needed-food, a drink, a dress fix…you name it, she was there! And Gillian was wonderful for making sure that everything was squared away, and we didn’t have to think about a thing with the end of the night process! I apologize for the lengthy review, but I could not say enough good things about this place! We knew we would have a great experience here and that we were in good hands from the beginning, but truly, they exceeded our expectations in every way!! Thank you Madison and all for making our dream wedding a reality!

The Bedford Village Inn was an INCREDIBLE wedding venue. We worked with Madison Mindes for the entire planning process. They make everything very straight forward for you with costs and reality of experiences. While prices may seem high at first, you truly get what you pay for! The entire day went perfectly, if there was anything that went wrong I didn't know about it because they work so seamlessly as a staff. During the day itself there is always a staff member around for you to help you with anything you need. You get a personal server with you right after the ceremony to get you and your wedding party any appetizers and drinks you need. They check on you throughout the night as well to continue getting what you need. The venue itself is beautiful. I wish I could properly put into words how wonderful the experience was. I highly encourage you to take a tour and consult, you won't regret it!

The Bedford Village Inn (BVI) is an absolutely STUNNING venue! However, beyond the beauty is the most amazing team. They care so much about their couples and do everything possible to ensure the perfect day and guest experience. We worked with Olivia and she was an absolute DREAM! From start to finish, she was responsive, detail oriented, and oh so kind! No item was overlooked and when hearing from others their experiences at other venues, it was obvious the BVI knows exactly what they're doing and will stop at nothing to make the process as smooth as possible. This is a 5-star venue - one that knows exactly what is needed such as a bridal coordinator for the day-of. And let me just say, Travis goes far above and beyond - he is by far the best person on your wedding day to keep you as the bride fed, relaxed, and laughing non-stop!!! We cannot recommend the BVI enough!

The BVI exceeded all of our expectations!
From the moment my husband and I met Madison and toured the Grand Charolais room at the BVI we knew this was where we going to get married. Madison from start to finish made the planning process as easy as could be, down to every last detail and my many emails. I cannot say enough about how she put me at such ease during the planning process that I knew our day would be nothing short of PERFECT, and it was!
Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, and it was all because of the amazing staff at the BVI. Madison and her staff (Nicole- our day of coordinator and Gillian- our bridal attendant) ensured that no detail went unnoticed. From setting up our ceremony and reception décor exactly how I envisioned, to the amazing and food and endless care, attention, and support for us on our special day.
I thank you all so much for making this day the most amazing day of our lives.
Additionally, we utilized the spa services on site the day prior, stayed in the Bridal Suite for the weekend and had out rehearsal dinner in The Governor's Room of The Tavern Restaurant. The hotel, spa, restaurant and grounds are absolutely beautiful, we cannot be happier!!

Our wedding at Bedford Village Inn on October 24, 2024, was an absolute dream, thanks to the exceptional team, especially our coordinator Madison Mindes and assistant Hayley. From the start, Madison was not only professional and organized but genuinely cared about our vision and details, making us feel like we were working with a friend. She guided us through the planning with open communication, quick responses, and thoughtful advice, making every step seamless.
On the wedding day, Madison went above and beyond to create a beautiful remembrance table and even reserved seats at the ceremony to honor our loved ones. She took charge of arranging the flowers we brought, transforming the space into something even more stunning than we imagined. Hayley, our wedding assistant, was incredibly attentive, making sure we always had drinks and appetizers and that everything ran smoothly without us needing to ask.
The level of care, attention to detail, and personal touch made Bedford Village Inn truly exceptional. If you’re looking for a venue with a dedicated team that treats your wedding like their own, I can’t recommend them highly enough. The quality of service and value far exceeded our expectations! Thank you, Madison and Hayley, for helping make our day perfect.

Our first experience with The Grand at Bedford Village Inn (BVI) was a dinner in their Dining Rooms to taste the food before making a decision on a wedding venue. OMG. Best food in NH. We booked them the next day.
The communication with their wedding coordinator, Madison was phenomenal. Her response time was always top notch, and made our planning go smoothly (we didn't even need a personal wedding planner). During the final detail appointment, she went through every detail that we didn't even think about. The team provided a personal attendant for the Bride, Groom & our families to make sure that we're well taken care of during the wedding; made for a stress free wedding day. We purchased a few of the rentals from their Styled by BVI and the team was able to incorporate them into our wedding perfectly.
Our ceremony was in the small garden next to The Grand at BVI and it was beautifully well maintained. Our reception was in The Grand Charolais Room and it was a perfect size for our 30 guest wedding which included a DJ and photobooth stations. If your DJ/vendor can provide it, we highly recommend doing uplighting, which helps make the room look like a fairy tale. The bridal suite was very spacious, making it easy for the entire bridal party to get ready with hair and makeup.
Our guests still rave about their food and have since come back to their restaurants to relive the experience. We are so glad we chose The Grand at BVI for our wedding venue.

As soon as we stepped into the BVI we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. The cozy, quaint and elegant feel of the property inside and out was exactly what we were looking for on our fall wedding day. And 10/11/2024 was everything we could have ever imagined, but better! The venue, staff and overall experience were amazing. Our coordinator Olivia was so kind, thoughtful, responsive and informative through the entire process. Olivia made sure all the details were completed and the day flowed perfectly, she is the best! We could not recommend the BVI enough for an amazing fall wedding!

Though we live in Texas now, we both grew up in Massachusetts and wanted a wedding that felt uniquely New England. We toured five different venues, but the minute we stepped into BVI we knew that we wanted to host our wedding there. Madison was so communicative and attentive throughout the wedding planning process, and both our rehearsal dinner and wedding went flawlessly. Our event manager Brittany and bridal attendant Gillian ensured that the event ran smoothly and that us and our families were well taken care of all night. The entire property is so beautiful, and the reception space is stunning. We utilized rentals from Styled by BVI which really helped when planning a wedding from afar. We’re still getting compliments on the food and our signature cocktails. We wish we could relive our wedding day and can’t wait to celebrate our anniversary at The Grand next year!

I wish I could give more stars than just 5! Everyone at BVI helped make our wedding day more than we could have ever hoped for. From the moment we booked our tour, until the day of - Olivia was an absolute angel to work with. We had a few unique requests that she helped navigate with management and make a reality. She was extremely responsive and the best coordinator I could have hoped for. Allyson from group bookings was also such a blessing to have through the whole process.
BVI went above and beyond - the grounds are beautiful, the reception space is gorgeous, and the food was fantastic. Even when there was a tiny hiccup with some of our decor at the end of the night, BVI stepped up and took care of it completely. My husband and I felt fully taken care of the entire night with venue staff constantly checking-in with us to make sure we had food/drinks throughout the entire night.
I would HIGHLY recommend this venue! Our wedding day was more magical than we ever could have imagined and that was all with the help of everyone at BVI.

We had our wedding at the Bedford Village Inn this fall and could not be more thrilled with how the whole day went. Madison, our wedding coordinator was (and is) absolutely amazing - organized, so kind, extremely helpful and not to mention positive. We dropped off all our decor the day before and everything was set up beautifully the day of without our help at all. Madison went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and at ease, even fetching DoorDash eyelashes for us haha! She also coordinated with all vendors so the day of everything and everyone was in place without us having to lift a finger. The food was amazing, the staff was so organized and on point, the gardens where we got married were gorgeous. Couldn’t have asked for a better day !

We got married in the Charolais Room at The Grand. This place is magical. We could not be happier with it as our wedding venue. It was beautiful. The hotel is gorgeous, our suite was incredible and the perfect place to get ready. The food was delicious and plenty of it. The staff are INCREDIBLE. Our coordinator, Olivia, is the best. She is kind, responsive, and helpful. She heard all of our asks and made them come to life. She has an amazing eye for decor and added lovely touches. She’s incredibly organized and we did not have to worry about a single thing with her as our coordinator. Gillian, our bridal attendant, was awesome. She always made sure we had everything we needed. She took care of us and we were never thirsty or hungry all night. Nicole was our day of coordinator, and met all of our needs. She was super helpful with managing in-the-moment tasks and taking care of us. It was truly the best day of our life and the venue/staff helped make the day even more special. Highly recommend this venue!

We recently had our wedding at Bedford Village Inn on August 3rd, and it was nothing short of magical. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, requiring very little in terms of decor because the natural beauty speaks for itself. BVI also offers rentals for all the little wedding necessities, from tea lights and candles to bathroom emergency trays, making the planning process that much easier!
Our experience with the staff was phenomenal. Olivia, our wedding coordinator, was a dream to work with—she responded to every email quickly and made sure no detail was overlooked. Allyson from the Grand Hotel (on the same property) also played a huge role in making our wedding day perfect. She coordinated everything for the big day and ensured all our hotel accommodations were sorted out smoothly.
**Pros:**
- The event space is gorgeous, with options for the rehearsal dinner and brunch the following day right on-site.
- The food was outstanding.
- Every staff member was incredibly kind and welcoming—some even joined us on the dance floor, which was such a fun surprise!
- The hotel rooms are beautiful and luxurious; my husband and I felt completely at ease and cared for the entire day.
**Cons:**
- This isn’t exactly a con, but more of a note for brides considering the needs of guests with mobility issues. While there is an elevator available, navigating the venue (Inn/Great Hall) was a bit tricky for our guests who used canes or walkers. The sidewalks have charming but uneven surfaces, which unfortunately led to a few falls. Just something to keep in mind for those who may need extra assistance.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, and Bedford Village Inn played a huge role in making that happen. Highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful, elegant, and well-organized wedding!

I could not recommend the BVI more!!! We met with Olivia in 2022 for our wedding this August and she was the absolute best from the day we met her through our wedding day. She is so kind, honest, and goes above and beyond to help in any way needed. She helped us create the perfect event for us, in our budget. Even day of the wedding, Olivia came to see me in the morning to help with anything last minute and helped me fix a sign that was broken. She set up all of the decorations in the venue for us, so beautifully, so we didn’t have to do anything day of. She is incredible.
A huge benefit of the BVI is the ability to stay in the 12 inn rooms above the reception hall, and for our family to be able to stay at the Grand Hotel. The accommodations are 10/10 and the customer service was amazing. Allyson was so helpful on coordinating all of the rooms and helping me leave gift bags in our wedding parties rooms.
The food is amazing there. Whether you’re at the tavern, grand, or eating catered food, we were never disappointed. We went there for countless meals leading up to the wedding, had an Italian meal for our rehearsal dinner, and the apps and meal at the wedding have had all of our guests talking about how good it was for the last two weeks! We will think about the apps at our cocktail hour for a long time. Our day of wedding and rehearsal dinner coordinators were amazing and made sure we stayed fed and helped with anything we needed all day.
I want to relive this day over and over again. It was perfect and a huge reason was because of the BVI. Thank you!!!!!!

We had the absolute best time working with Olivia as our wedding planner and Brittany as our coordinator at BVI, and I cannot express enough how incredible they both were. From start to finish, they were attentive to every detail, ensuring our day was nothing short of perfect. They truly made the experience the best that we could have asked for.
As a Type A person, it can be hard to let go of control, but Olivia and Brittany made it so easy to trust them completely. They remembered even the smallest details, things I didn’t even realize I had mentioned, and made sure everything was executed flawlessly.
One of the biggest challenges we faced was the weather. They allowed us to hold off on the decision to move the ceremony inside due to rain until the last possible moment, which was a huge relief. Their calm and professional demeanor throughout the entire process was exactly what I needed to enjoy my day without a single worry. And the rainy day didn't even matter, it was still the best day.
If you want a team that will go above and beyond, keep you at ease, and a beautiful venue rain or shine, go with BVI. I couldn't have asked for anything more, and I’m so grateful to them for making our wedding day truly magical.

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about BVI. From the email communication, to the hotel accommodations, to the rehearsal dinner, to the actual wedding. Everything was executed perfectly as planned and the staff was nothing short of 5 star service. The food and drinks were delicious and our guests had the most wonderful time. The venue itself is just stunning. Paired with the staff and reasonable pricing, having your wedding here is a no brainer. Our venue coordinator, Madison, was the most wonderful person to work with. She answered all of my questions via email so quickly and made sure that everything for our wedding and rehearsal dinner was accounted for. She accommodated every request and made our weekend all the more special. Allyson, who worked with the hotel booking team, was also extraordinarily helpful and kind with not only us, but our family and friends. Everyone at this venue was such a pleasure to work with. I would not change a single thing about our weekend and would work with BVI again in a heartbeat!!!!!

I could not recommend Bedford Village Inn enough. Melissa the Sales & Marketing director is amazing and was very responsive to our many questions and helped make sure our day was stress free and organized. The booking department was helpful in making sure we were all set with our booking code and kept us informed about those that booked at the BVI! Day of, the staff was so attentive and helpful. I DIYed my own flowers and they helped display them in a way I would never had been able to do myself. Gillian our bridal attendant was so sweet and made sure we ate and always had our drinks refilled. People say you don’t eat on your wedding day but I ate so much because she was there to always make sure we had something! Overall, BVI is pricey but it’s really a 1 stop shop for a venue with rooms being right in the reception space, rehearsal dinner & breakfast at the tavern and ceremony right in the courtyard. If you’re questioning to book at BVI, do it!

We got married on 7/28/24 at Bedford Village Inn and it was an absolute dream! Our main coordinator was Olivia and she was the absolute best. From our first meeting she made us feel so comfortable and was always so encouraging and sweet to our whole family (she is definitely my mom’s new favorite person). She definitely understood my dramatic tendencies and had the best suggestions for the day! I highly recommend a solo walk under the wisteria. The day of our wedding we worked with Brittany who kept us right on track and had everything set up so beautifully. Everything was so seamless and smooth, but it still felt unique and special for us. We never felt like just another wedding party. Everyone just genuinely seemed so happy for us and that energy translated into the entire day! Our attendant Gilly literally made sure we were well fed and taking snack breaks during photos. Without her, we probably would not have had a single bite to eat from all the excitement! She was the absolute best! We wanted our day to be super intimate. We just wanted to celebrate with family and close friends that felt like family and we could not have picked a better venue than BVI. The whole team was so caring and thoughtful.

Bedford Village Inn (BVI) exceeded all expectations for every element of our wedding, and this is not hyperbole. We thought the pricing would be out of reach for us and almost didn’t even get a quote, boy are we glad we did because for our small wedding, they actually had the BEST price of the dozens of venues we had reached out to in New England.
We wanted a venue that could host the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, as well as provide overnight accommodations for our mostly out of town guests. Additional criteria were that the food had to be top notch, and we were looking for an easy, but elevated aesthetic. BVI met all of these requirements and then some.
Since our total guest count was less than 40, we were in the Charlois Room at the Grand and it was the PERFECT size for our small wedding. It never felt awkwardly too big, nor cramped, and we got to have the traditional wedding experience we were looking for with a full reception and cocktail hour.
As if all of the above weren’t enough, what really makes the BVI experience outstanding is the incredibly amazing, kind, attentive, and welcoming staff. When we met with our coordinator we knew we were in good hands, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. The entire planning experience was so special and easy with everyone we worked with. A special shout out to Madison M. for being so supportive, responsive, and sweet! Madison was an absolute pleasure to work with! Many of our guests commented on how impressed they were with both the service and the food. One waitress was dancing with the kids in attendance at the wedding, keeping them entertained and giving their parents a break.
BVI will now always hold a special place in our hearts, they made our wedding dreams come true! It was a perfect day at the perfect venue and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

We were married on 07/06/2024 at BVI in the Great Hall and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the first moment we toured the venue, Olivia (our wedding coordinator) was super responsive, detail-oriented, kind and willing to answer all of our questions. Leading up to our wedding date, we were able to attend BVI for a tasting and meet with Olivia for a final details appointment plus communicate via email whenever we had questions. On the day of the wedding, we were blown away at the coordination of the event. Everything seemed seamless and BVI coordinated with each vendor. We were truly able to enjoy the day, knowing that Olivia and her team understood our vision and had the details under control. Additionally, we had a bridal attendant who brought our bridal party food and drinks and helped everyone enjoy the moments of the day. All of our guests raved about the food, drinks and service provided by BVI. If you’re looking for a property that’s elegant, professional, can accommodate 200 guests yet still feel intimate and homey and where all your guests can stay on property and have a luxurious experience than BVI is your venue. We truly made memories for a lifetime because of them and we can’t wait to celebrate future anniversaries at their property restaurants.

Where do I even begin. The BVI is the most perfect and elegant place to have your wedding. My husband and I got married on June 15, 2024 and we can't stop talking about how incredible the day was. We knew, when we first toured the venue back in November of 2022, that this place was special and had everything we could ever want. In 2022, we noticed it was already booked solid in 2023 then into 2024. Looking back and having just had our wedding, it's obvious why this place is so sought after.
Madison was an incredible wedding coordinator and I cannot thank her enough for all the assistance she provided. She was kind, professional, and never invalidated any questions I had. Olivia, who was our day-of coordinator, was also incredible and gave us so much support as we enjoyed the day. Never once did my husband and I feel like we were the hosts; we were the guests of honor and could easily enjoy the wedding. That's all thanks to Madison, Olivia, and the wonderful staff.
Do yourself a favor and have your wedding here. It has everything you could ever want: Amazing food, beautiful scenery for photos, and a place to stay for the night. We loved being able to have it all in one space; a place to get ready, a place to stay, and not having to worry about booking vendors for food and alcohol.
Our guests keep telling us that this was the best wedding they ever went to. I loved my experience here so much, I actually get emotional thinking about it. You won't regret it for a second booking this place!

Our wedding at BVI in the Great Hall yesterday was a dream come true!! Our coordinator, Olivia, is a superstar! She is a true professional and she did an unbelievable job at every stage from our initial tour to our wedding day. She is also possibly the kindest person on the planet and the best hype girl. From the very first interaction with BVI it was clear that the time and attention they put into their weddings is unmatched. One example of this is available dates being provided on a professional document organized by day of the week (I can’t tell you how many other venues provided me with a list of dates where I had to then look at the calendar to figure out which day they fell on.) Throughout the planning process, Olivia was available, responsive, helpful, kind, and an absolute expert. She always responded to my questions (and I had a lot!) right away. The tasting event is really special - BVI sets up the reception room like an actual wedding with full appetizer and food service so that you can really get a feel for what your wedding day will feel like. The venue itself is gorgeous and has a lot of character. I loved having the two hotel options on site. We had our rehearsal dinner in the Overlook room (this was fantastic!), so it was great to be able to have the guests spend their entire weekend on site. There are multiple bar and restaurant options as well as a pool to keep your guests entertained throughout the weekend. Now to the actual wedding day: the execution by Olivia and the BVI staff was unbelievable. There are so many details that go into making a wedding run flawlessly, details that I never considered, and Olivia was on top of every single one. The staff was so sweet and attentive to us. Having never been through this process before, my mind was continuously blown at how expertly managed the entire day was. Not only was everyone amazing at their job, they all genuinely cared about our experience. Another reason to have your wedding at BVI is that the rain plan is actually really nice. We planned to have both our ceremony and cocktail hour outside. I was that bride that felt all along that I would be disappointed if it rained on my wedding day, but when it actually happened I was completely ok with it because of how great the backup plan was. The room turnover was seamless and there was plenty of space for the cocktail hour. All in all, the entire wedding weekend was beyond my wildest expectations. I’ll leave you with this - there are a ton of details that you likely are not thinking about at this stage in the planning process, but just know that BVI will 100% be on top of all of them.

Our wedding at the Bedford Village Inn on 6/8/24 was an absolute dream. We got married at The Grand Boutique Hotel at the BVI, which was the perfect venue for our intimate 60 guest wedding. At our initial venue tour, the beautiful grounds of the hotel, as well as the beautiful decorations inside, caught our attention. It was our wedding coordinator, Olivia Schadlick, who really sealed the deal for us. From our first meeting, she was friendly, kind, organized and very calming. We had full confidence in her abilities to help execute the wedding of our dreams. She is the best of the best and helped our wedding go incredibly smoothly.
The wedding day went better than we could have even imagined. Olivia and the rest of the BVI team, including the event manager for evening, Paige, did an incredible job coordinating with all of our vendors and paid such close attention to detail. The food and drinks were top notch. We also loved the convenience of ourselves and our guests being able to stay at The Grand for the weekend. The hotel rooms were luxurious and this helped make the whole weekend even more enjoyable.
There were several guests who told me that it seemed like the wedding went off without a hitch, asking if it was really that easy to plan and go so smoothly. Truthfully, booking your wedding with the BVI is the best decision you can make. They really help make the whole process, from planning day one right up to the wedding day, a breeze. Thank you to Olivia, Paige, and the entire BVI team for making this the wedding of our dreams. If you are considering booking your wedding here, you should absolutely do it!

From start to finish our experience planning our wedding with Bedford Village Inn was fantastic. Olivia S. went above and beyond from our initial venue tour to our wedding day. She was professional, personable, and extremely detail oriented.
My husband and I would describe The Grand at BVI as 'New Hampshire chic'. The decor and details throughout the entire hotel are thoughtful touches to remind you you're in NH without feeling too woodsy.
Overall, we could not recommend BVI enough and if you're lucky enough to work with Olivia, consider yourself blessed!

We were absolutely blown away by our entire wedding day. Every single staff member went above and beyond to make sure us and our guests had a good experience. We knew the venue was beautiful from the tour and tasting, but the little touches on the actual day were the icing on the cake. The food and drinks were amazing, everyone is still raving about it. We did DIY flowers and Madison, our sales coordinator arranged the most beautiful center pieces with the materials we brought.
Being able to stay in the Inn was such an underestimated blessing, especially for our grandparents who didn't even have to go outside to get to their room at the end of the night. The Grand Hotel on the property is also excellent - guests will have an amazing stay.
We could not be happier or more grateful with how everything turned out. We had the most amazing day and I would recommend this venue a thousand times over.

My husband and I just got married on New Years Eve (12/31/23) at the Bedford Village Inn. I truthfully have nothing but positive things to say about the entire experience. When we were initially looking for venues I was searching for places with raving reviews on the food - because that was something I realllllly cared about. I mean what is worse than paying all this money and then having shit food am I right? Bedford Village Inn was the only place that I could find with consistent glowing reviews not only about the food but the entire experience in general. So, when we booked our tour back in 2022 we knew immediately from the stunning views of the venue to our incredible experience with our wedding coordinator, Olivia, that this was where we had to get married.
Olivia was a huge selling point for us as well. She was so kind, warm, and professional throughout our entire experience together. Anytime I emailed her with questions she always answered in a timely manner and never made me feel like my questions were silly or I was emailing her too much. She genuinely went above and beyond me and my husbands expectations throughout the entire wedding planning experience, but the icing on the cake for us was when she came in on her day off for our wedding which was something she 1000% did not have to do but we were eternally grateful for. I also had two of my bridesmaids contract COVID two days (yeah you read that right) before my wedding so they were unable to attend. While I was relatively calm about the situation, Olivia made me feel so much better. I know it is her "job" but she really just made me and my husband feel so heard, understood, and valued throughout every single step of the wedding planning process. She ensured that our day was perfect and I can honestly say it wouldn't have been the same without her!
On to the food! We live pretty close to BVI so we have had the opportunity to come and dine at some of their restaurants before. However, when we had our wedding tasting back in February of 2023 the food blew everything we had ever eaten there out of the water. Everything we tried - from the appetizers to the main meals - were simply outstanding. At the wedding I can't tell you how many people came up to my husband and I raving about how delicious the food was. We additionally had the mini pizzas and cannolis as a late night snack and again, everyone was raving about them. The waitstaff was also so sweet and packaged up some of the pizza and cannolis and took it to me and my husbands suite for us to enjoy after the wedding had finished which I thought was a very kind gesture! I couldn't have asked for anything better!
The staff at our wedding was also wonderful. My husband and I had one person in particular, Heather, who was catering to us all night. She was so kind and patient with us and was continuously checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. We did unfortunately have one issue with a member of the waitstaff towards the end of the evening, but the manager that night, Paige, handled everything with grace and professionalism!
Overall, if you want an incredible wedding from start to finish, my husband and I HIGHLY recommend Bedford Village Inn.

My husband and I were married in the Charolais room at the Grand Hotel (Bedford Village Inn) in October 2023. EVERYTHING was taken care of and the venue was beautiful. The staff was amazing from the beginning and were willing to work with us on every aspect to make our day amazing. We had our own attendant to guide us through the day and serve us personally (and they made sure we ate and drank!), and other staff members stood by to make sure everything went smoothly with our guests and outside vendors. The food was incredible, the hotel itself was amazing and beautiful. We are planning all of our future anniversaries there, and I personally cannot wait to go back and plan another event.

We had our wedding at BVI in September and couldn’t have had a better experience. I discovered the BVI online when searching for New England wedding venues, and my husband and I fell in love at first glance. Our first visit did not disappoint and we were sold! Olivia was INCREDIBLE to work with from start to finish, making every single detail seamless and fun. She really made us feel welcomed each time we came to visit the location, whether it was running up to us to give us a hug at our tasting, or providing a round of champagne at dinner when we brought my family there for the first time to see the place. Our wedding day was perfect in every way and it was a dream to see my vision come to life. Don’t worry about being stressed on your wedding day, because the amazing team at BVI will handle everything with ease and grace. We couldn’t recommend BVI enough!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting my wedding at BVI, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we chose this venue the communication and planning was next level! The month before our wedding the coordinator we were working with left (which made us a little nervous) but the ball was not dropped at all! If anything our experience just improved - the cooridator that took over Melissa was incredible! I have never met someone so organized and had such an eye for detail. On the day of the wedding, she took charge of putting out all our decorations and not only did she make everything look beautiful she took all the stress away! I was able to truly relax while getting ready and I was not worried about a thing! We even switched last minute to have our wedding outside and Melissa let all our vendors know, leaving us to not have to do a thing. I highly recommend BVI for anyone seeking a magical and hassle-free wedding experience.

I don't think I could accurately put how much I loved working with BVI into words. The entire team was just incredible, always on top of everything, and made sure the day was absolutely perfect. Madison was our coordinator and she is easily one of the best in the business. She was so responsive whenever I had a question during the planning stages and wasn't afraid to be honest, which I highly appreciated. I also worked with Allyson on the lodging side for booking the rooms and anything hotel related. Again, incredibly responsive and helpful during the planning stages. Her and her team were there whenever someone needed help for their reservation and it made the entire process so easy. Every single team member at BVi made the wedding the best wedding it could possible be. The food is absolutely delicious. The venue is beautiful. You can rent decor. And the day of the wedding there were so many little touches that BVI did to make it feel as special and personalized as possible. I cannot recommend BVI more and this place will always hold such an incredible spot in my heart. Thank you thank you thank you

Our wedding weekend at the Bedford Village Inn can only be described as magical. From the very beginning, the entire team at BVI was incredible to work with, especially our planner Madison Mindes! She took the time to understand our vision of how our wedding day would go and worked so hard to execute that vision for us. It was phenomenal to work with someone who gave honest opinions when I was struggling with indecisiveness and helped me achieve my Pinterest wedding dreams. Everyone we engaged with went above and beyond. If I had more adjectives to describe the perfection of our wedding day on September 30, I would!

June 2023 — Bedford Village Inn and it’s classic New England charm sold us in an instant. With beautifully manicured grounds, onsite lodging, and award-winning cuisine, we knew this venue would provide us with an unmatched experience. Our wedding coordinator, Madison, provided us with professional, timely, and detailed answers and explanations to any and all of our questions during the planning process. She was incredible to work with and made us feel as if we were the only couple she was focused on. We hosted an intimate rehearsal dinner on the eve of our wedding in the Overlook Room which was such a classy vibe. Furthermore, the North End buffet was outstanding. On the wedding morning, Madison and the BVI team ensured things were relaxed, comfortable and carefree. A delicious breakfast was delivered to the bridal suite which we savored as we watched the décor being set up in the Great Hall below — so much fun to see everything come together! Both the ceremony and reception went off seamlessly, and our guests raved about the hors d’oeuvres! We also had a lovely attendant who provided us with champagne, our signature drink, and plenty of hors d’oeuvres immediately following the ceremony while we took portraits. For dinner, the chef was incredibly accommodating and let us pick something special off the menu just for us! We ended the night around 3 AM after our guests opened their Inn rooms for the “after party.” We can’t recommend the ever-so charming Bedford Village Inn enough. We would pick this venue all over again. Thank you BVI for one of the happiest days of our lives.

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. The 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!

I can not say more great things about BVI! We just got married in September and they were an absolute dream. They were so helpful and so friendly. The venue was stunning and having the hotel on the property is such a bonus for the guests. The food was amazing and all of our guests raved about how amazing everything was. Olivia is an absolute god sent. She is so beyond helpful and goes above and beyond to make sure your day and planning go as smoothly as possible. She is the sweetest human and I could not have gotten thru planning without her. 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! 🤍

We held our wedding at the BVI on August 26, 2023 and it was absolutely perfect. The grounds at the BVI are stunning and offers so many ways to personalize your wedding. The accommodations between the Inn suites, Apartment suites and rooms at The 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.

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 absolutely 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.
