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!!

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!

My husband and I were fortunate enough to have our wedding at The Bedford Village Inn in the Charolais Room in August of 2018. Everything was meticulously planned by their VERY talented event coordinator, Melissa. She made sure that our vision was captured beautifully for all parts of our special day. Her input was extremely valuable and we were so grateful for her expertise and guidance in planning everything from the table linens, to which flowers would match perfectly, to the cake and even the layout of the room.
The Charolais Room was the perfect size for our guest list, and the layout of the room was exactly what we had hoped for. Our guests enjoyed the fact that there were indoor and outdoor options during the cocktail hour, and throughout the night. Although we did have some rain on our wedding day, we were able to hold the ceremony indoors, with the gorgeous fireplace as our backdrop. The staff did an unbelievable job turning the room over as quickly as possible for our reception to begin! Our guests raved about the seamless transition and we couldn't have been more pleased with how smoothly everything was executed.
The food was absolutely incredible. From the stationary selections, to the passed selections, to the salads and main courses, everything was timely and delicious. If you are looking for a venue with top-notch food selections, look no further.
All in all, we couldn't have had a better experience! Thank you so much to everyone at the Bedford Village Inn who was a part of our special day. We appreciate it all so very much, and are looking forward to returning to The Grand this coming August for our First Anniversary dinner!
