We had a 40 person wedding using their value package, and it was an absolute delight. The inn itself is cozy and rustic, and the rooms are amazing (stay in the carriage house). The JotP and DJ were both fantastic, and the food was crazy good, d...
espite having several guests with dietary restrictions. Honestly, the team at the inn made the whole wedding possible and helped make this one of the best days of our lives.
I'd absolutely get married there again.

Thank you so much, Christine and Felipe! It was our pleasure and honor to host your beautiful wedding! Come back soon :-)
We had a micro wedding at Christmas Farm Inn in March. The night of our wedding was everything I could have hoped for or imagined. My flowers were beautiful and the staff was incredibly attentive. We stayed in the carriage house for an exten...
ded romantic weekend and had our wedding in the barn. I wouldn’t have changed anything.
We are beyond happy with our decision to have our wedding at The Christmas Farm Inn! From the beginning, Christine, the event planner, was extremely helpful and accommodating. On the day of, she and the staff had everything taken care of-from ...
set-up to break down- which allowed us to truly enjoy the day to the fullest. The staff who took care of our party the night before and the day of were all friendly and attentive.
The property and surrounding area are a perfect backdrop for a cozy and charming wedding. So many amazing spots for pictures! We really enjoyed being able to have our ceremony & reception all in one place. Also having all our family and friends be able to stay in the Carriage house made the wedding weekend feel intimate, which was important to us.
Our guests are still raving about the wedding-from the food, drinks, and location! We thank the CFI for making our wedding weekend a magical experience!
The Christmas Farm Inn was a perfect venue for our wedding in November 2021. The Inn is beyond charming and our guests loved the atmosphere of the property. Jackson is an adorable town that all the guests enjoyed. The kids loved the indoor heat...
ed pool which was a great treat in November. The night before the wedding we all even got to relax by the outdoor fire pit which for an outdoorsy couple was very nice way to start the wedding weekend. The wedding planner through the Inn, Christine, was amazing, she was always communicating and on top of everything to make our day special. We were even able to order our wedding favors (Jackson Christmas ornaments) through them which was very convenient. Christine was a great support the wedding weekend and made sure our reception space was set up just right. And the day of the wedding, she even was there to help the men with the boutonnières since they struggled with those :)
The reception dinner food was amazing, we had the stuffed haddock and bourbon beef tips that everyone enjoyed greatly, and their signature cocktail they made for us was a fall sangria that everyone loved. My husband and my biggest regret from our wedding was that we forgot to try our own signature cocktail! The staff helping with the reception service were outstanding as well! The honeymoon suite in the Carriage House was wonderful too, it felt private being next to the trees and there was plenty of space to do hair and makeup for multiple people the morning of, and my husband was able to get a massage in the Spa the morning of to relax.
We highly recommend and loved the charming atmosphere of the old barn for the reception, we had about 50 people in attendance and had plenty of room to party and dance!
My husband and I feel really fortunate to have had our wedding at Christmas Farm Inn. It was truly the best! Everything about our experience, from start to finish, was exactly what we hoped for. Christine, the wedding coordinator, was communica...
tive and professional throughout the planning process. I appreciate how she was both organized and chill all at once. The CFI staff was so friendly and helpful. The venue itself is adorable and convenient- it was great to have all of our guests stay on site and be able to walk to different wedding events. The barn is absolutely spectacular and made for an intimate, fun wedding. Overall, having our wedding at CFI was probably the best decision we made throughout our whole wedding planning process. We highly recommend CFI!

My husband and I could not be more pleased with everything for our elopement. We traveled from Illinois to get married here. We opted for something small and romantic and that is just what we got! Our wedding planner, Christine, was simply a...
mazing. Considering we were flying there, we ended up shipping my husband's tux via postal, and she accepted it and had it all ready for him on the day of! She also picked me up from my hair/makeup appt so he would not be able to see me! Any questions I had she had the answer. Since we had no other family/friends there, she helped me button all of the buttons on my dress and helped my husband with his tie and boutonniere. Being so far while "planning" a wedding, she assured me I had nothing to worry about and it was just that simple. I had nothing to worry about from the time we booked it, to the time we checked out. Thank you for the romantic elopement that we had envisioned!
Some staff were very nice and helpful, others not so much. My maid of honor needed more time than expected to fix up the cabana, but it ended up beautifully. Mixed feelings on feeling "welcome" as they had another event that evening but still t...
ried to accommodate us but then left us feeling rushed and an inconvenience. They were short staffed and made it very known to us. But the server was wonderful, food was fantastic and we had an amazing evening anyway!
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2020
Thanks for your good comments. We are happy that you had an amazing evening. We are sorry if you felt rushed or unwelcome in any way. Obviously, that was not our intention. We were not particularly short-staffed for your event of 14 people. ...
We had ample people on hand to service the event. However, the event occurred on a Saturday, during Fall Foliage season in the White Mountains, and pretty much all establishments run at maximum capacity. It was discussed and agreed in writing that, for us to host the event, everyone from the wedding party would be in place for the food service to begin promptly at 4:30 p.m.. The wedding party did not arrive and be seated until well after 5:00 p.m.. This provided operational challenges that were foreseen and discussed beforehand, hence the 4:30 p.m. agreement. We did have to juggle and scramble to catch up, and regret if this felt like rushing the service. Otherwise, it was a lovely event and we are pleased that it all worked out. We wish you both good health, love and everlasting happiness.
We opted for a small wedding package at The Christmas Farm Inn and it was lovely! The wedding coordinator, Christine was super helpful and accommodating and everything ran smoothly. I loved that the package included our flowers, cake and our j...
ustice of the peace and all were perfect! The barn is so cozy in the winter with the fireplace and twinkle lights. We were able to bring our dog up for the weekend and she was able to be with us during our ceremony in the carriage house. We had a wonderful experience and so did our guests! Thank you!

Everything went very smoothly and we had a beautiful wedding that our guests loved. The food was amazing (we are vegan and gluten free and they rocked a taco bar, pasta station and potato station), we stayed in the log cabin with our dogs, and ...
we were able to hang out with our friends and family every morning at breakfast at the inn and in the evening by the firepit. It was just a wonderful venue for us. We wouldn't have done it any other way. Thank you Christmas Farm Inn for facilitating a wonderful wedding weekend for us!
Response from the Vendor on 01/16/2020
Thank you so much Megan for this wonderful review! The vegan angle was fun for us, too :-) So happy that everyone loved it. Come back soon! Sandra and the team
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about the CFI. We knew when we first arrived for our tour that this venue would be perfect, and it was, from beginning to end. Here are the highlights!
Rooms: there are a variety of rooms for your...
guests to stay in, and it's so great to have everyone in one location. Barn suites, inn rooms, cottages and cabins, suites in the Carriage House-- there's something for everyone!.The suites are sizeable and comfortable, and the fireplace and jacuzzi tubs are a bonus. There are also some pet-friendly rooms.
Food: I can't state it strongly enough: the food at the CFI is incredible! The free breakfast is hot and delicious and made to order and our guests raved about the food, appetizers and all, at the reception. I'm a vegetarian and had vegan guests and the chef and staff were very accommodating-- we never felt like we were getting the "back up" menu items.
Ceremony and Reception: Our ceremony was in the Carriage House and our reception was in the barn. You honestly don't need to do a single thing to decorate on your own; it's always perfectly and beautifully done up each season! The CFI also really makes it all feel about you and your wedding that weekend so you don't feel rushed through everything. We had 58 guests and the barn was the perfect size for our reception. We didn't feel crowded but we also didn't feel like the room was too big for us. The Carriage House was also a great size, with room for our DJ to set up on the balcony and guests to stand on the balcony as well. While there are plenty of gorgeous places in Jackson for photos, you don't even need to leave the property!
Guests kept coming up to us all night to say how much they loved the Christmas Farm Inn and what a perfect atmosphere it had. We loved that we felt like we were allowing people a weekend away at a beautiful retreat in addition to being guests at our wedding. They have a lot of different packages and plans for wedding of all sizes and styles. I'm thrilled that we now have this perfect location to come back to for all anniversaries or romantic getaways-- in fact, we already have our next trip up there booked! I don't have a single regret or "I wish I had..." about having my wedding at this venue. We love the Christmas Farm Inn!!

The wedding planner Alyce was better than we could have ever imagined and worked with the rest of the staff and vendors to make everything go off without an issue.

We absolutely love the Christmas Farm Inn, the staff and the whole Jackson area and cant wait to come back in the following years.

We left our ORIGINAL venue 3 months from our wedding day!!! We were so nervous and stressed out by that point, we didn’t know what to do. The Christmas Farm Inn had (by a miracle) the same weekend open, so we went for it... and IT WAS THE BEST ...
THING THAT HAPPENED TO US. Alyce jumped right in and got us caught up on the plans in weeks! She reached out to local florists, and made sure things were as smooth and easy for us as possible. Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful!!! We expected some bumps, but it was perfect. Dinner was awesome! Both the chicken marsala and beef tips blew everyone away. Service was also very friendly, we jus can’t say enough thank yous. The CFI turned a nightmare situation into our dream wedding. We will always recommend it.

My husband and I did the Elopement Package July 2019 and it was absolutely wonderful. Our wedding coordinator, Alyce, made the planning easy and stress free. The cake and flowers exceeded our expectations, and the Carriage House Suite was comfo...
rtable and cozy. We met with the JP, Barbara, to discuss the ceremony details in the Inn’s Pub and she was so sweet and personable. The ceremony was held outside under the white birch arbor and Barbara’s words were beautiful. And Alyce took great pictures for us! After, we had a romantic dinner at the Inn’s restaurant and the food was delicious! (As was the breakfast!). All the staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. The whole weekend was amazing and we can’t wait to return again soon! I would recommend this charming gem in the mountains to anyone!

She was always responsive and our wedding was a complete dream. The barn is beautiful and we had married in the off-season so it was like we had the resort to ourselves. I could not recommend this place enough. We can’t wait to go back!!!

Amanda! Thank you so much for this kind review! You and Albie were honestly so wonderful to coordinate with and you deserved such an amazing day! I am glad we could help deliver. I hope to see you both again soon! -Alyce & Your CFI Team
I was almost completely stress-free during the wedding planning process, and it is in large part because of CFI. We took advantage of their winter wedding deal, which means that we paid a certain price per head, and CFI provided us with a photo...
grapher, a baker, a DJ, the food, and a justice of the peace (we used our own pastor, so we didn't need this, and CFI just took the charge for a JP off of our contract). So basically the only things we needed to do were get my dress and Cody's suit, and find a salon for hair and make up.
The vendors that CFI provided were all outstanding, and the venue was gorgeous. Almost every guest that we talked to during or after the wedding commented on how perfect the venue was. Our ceremony took place in the Carriage House, and our reception was in the Barn. CFI has them all decorated already, and it's absolutely perfect. They have twinkle and fairy lights hung up with birch tree branches and garland everywhere. It's stunning! It was everything we wanted.
CFI also has an on-site wedding/event planner who is the point of contact for everything. We got engaged in July and married in February, and our wedding planner was Melissa until January, and then she left, and Alyce became our new wedding planner. I can't say enough good things about both Melissa and Alyce. I was wicked bummed when Melissa left, but Alyce is absolutely amazing and everything turned out great. The communication was stellar. I can't even imagine how many other weddings and events they were juggling during the six months we were in contact with them, but they always made us feel like we were the only wedding they had, because of how much support and attention they devoted to us.

My husband and I chose the Christmas Farm Inn as our wedding venue after reading these reviews and touring the property. It was the first place we visited, and we immediately knew it was where we wanted to be married. From the first visit, to t...
he wedding day, the staff were extremely kind and inviting. They made us feel as though we were part of their little Inn family and for that we were so thankful.
The best part about having our wedding at the Christmas Farm Inn, aside from their worry-free winter wedding package (which is the best thing I could have ever done), was Melissa, the Inn’s Event Coordinator. She was so marvelous with her consistency in communication and her ability to help us with every last detail. I don’t know what I would have done without her during my event planning and on my wedding day.
Just to name a few more things that we loved about the Inn aside from the wedding venue itself- the grounds are beautiful, and the sleeping arrangements are perfect. All of our guests complimented the set-up of the different rooms and how easily you can access all the different areas. We also appreciated the walking trails right on the grounds and the pool and spa.
Everything about the Christmas Farm Inn made it the most amazing place to have our most perfect day!
Our winter wedding at the CFI was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better group of people and vendors to work with. Everyone is pleasant and super accommodating with any and all of your needs. Melissa, the wedding coordinator,...
is the sweetest and most professional person we’ve ever worked with. She’s always ready to help no matter what, and answered all questions quickly. She goes above and beyond, and always made you feel important. We loved every moment spent here and can’t wait to come back for our anniversaries. Thank you CFI!

She gave us the perfect ceremony that was meaningful and simple- exactly what we wanted. Each vendor was excellent and we had no complaints! Everyone at the Inn was very friendly, pleasant and any questions, or requests were handled promptly. We would highly suggest this venue to anyone looking to elope, or regular scale wedding!

Melissa is very responsive to requests or questions which is very helpful for an out of towner. fast forward to a year later and the actual wedding... We had a small wedding ceremony and dinner with our family and friends. With the help of CFI we were able to set up an informal cocktail hour in the pub attached to the inn. The staff are so warm and welcoming they really make you feel like family. On top of it all Melissa helped with recommendations for photographers, bakers, florists etc and was able to coordinate with them so the day of our wedding was stress free. The Inn itself is gorgeous and we had a wedding in the barn and with our small group of around 20 it allowed us to have an intimate ceremony and dinner in a truly magical setting. Thank you Christmas Farm Inn for making our big day so wonderful!

Just spent a few days up ...
here for our small elopement/wedding and couldnt have asked for anything more! From the first conversations with Melissa, the wedding coordinator there, and the planning, to the time spent here, we couldnt have been any happier! All the small details of our ceremony and events were taken care of and exactly how we wanted, the day went perfectly. The entire hotel grounds is beautiful and the rooms all have so much charm! I used their spa for hair and make up before our ceremony and it was such a fun, relaxing environment. We had our ceremony in front of the carriage house fireplace and it was perfect. We LOVED our JP, Barbara, she was beyond sweet! After the ceremony, we had dinner at the inn's restaurant, and our entire party couldn't stop raving about the food! We were so surprised by how amazing everything we ate was! Im a caesar salad snob, and there's was one of the best Ive ever had! I also had the spinach and walnut ravioli and my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Everyone else in our group ordered steaks and kept saying how delicious they were! So much charm in the small inn, every staff member was so pleasant and beyond accommodating (especially with my toddler and baby!). Melissa was a god send and we couldnt have done it without her! We cannot wait to go back to this inn again!
If youre looking for somewhere to elope, their elopement package is AMAZING! Our flowers were beautiful and the cake was INCREDIBLE!
Everyone in the Inn made us feel so special for our whole trip, and we could not have asked for or dreamt of more for our wedding! I cannot even express how much we reccomend this lovely place!

Christmas Farm Inn made planning a destination wedding a breeze. We stumbled across CFI while on vacation and we were able to meet with the event planner (Melissa) and get a tour from the owner during our stay. I had 50 people at my wedding an...
d went for the Barn package that included all the essentials (ceremony chairs, tables, linens etc.) Melissa also connected me with amazing vendors in the area and helped me add the little touches. The barn is beautiful and needs zero-little extra decorating. Another nice perk is that the spa will set up your hair and make-up so you don’t ever have to leave offsite. Melissa responds timely and checks in regularly with her brides. During your wedding weekend Melissa also helps you stay on schedule. Usually wedding food is not spectacular but CFI stands out from all the weddings I’ve ever attended!!! The food is high quality and delicious whether you are eating at the restaurant or at a large event. All the staff is very warm and welcoming and always makes you feel special. There are also many different room options for your guests that the whole family will have a fun getaway. CFI hosts a wedding event for food tastings and hair/make-up trials. They set up the barn as if a wedding is happening and you feel like a guest, which is a pretty neat perspective. I have zero regrets and would do it all again.

From the very beginning stages of planning I am so glad we chose to elope at the Christmas Farm Inn & Spa. Melissa was amazingly helpful when I spoke with her on the phone about what I was hoping for, when I wasn’t sure when peak foliage was sh...
e knew and when I was trying to remember when sunset was for this time of year she got me that answer too. She checked in with me periodically and handled all the major planning making sure I had contact info for my vendors.
When we arrived for our elopement the staff were so welcoming and congratulated us both. Our room was lovely and spacious with a pretty view of the autmn woods. Melissa made sure to check in with us when she knew we arrived as well to see if we had any questions. On the day of our wedding 10/11/18 Melissa made sure we were all set and since it rained on that day made sure what our plans were for our ceremony. She checked in with us about 15 min before the ceremony to let my groom know they were ready for him to get in place which gave me time to take a few more pictures with the photographer around our room since he hadn’t seen me yet. She was super helpful when I asked if she could video the ceremony for family to see later on. Our ceremony was perfect the JP she had us working with was awesome and kept things relaxed for us. Our dinner was fantastic and they made sure we were well looked after for that as well.
Overall we had a wonderful experience for our elopement at the Christmas Farm Inn & Spa and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fantastic place to go for their own wedding needs as well.

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to write this amazing review, Megan! I'm thrilled to hear your elopement went just as planned and the planning process went smoothly, as well. You were so wonderful to work with :)
Congratulations, ...
again, to you & Don. Hope to see you both again soon!
All the best,
Melissa & the CFI Team
This post is long overdue but after going through my wedding photos, I decided it had to be done.
From the moment we toured Christmas Farm Inn, we knew it was the right place for our dream wedding. We had no idea how right we were! We had a fe...
w requirements, it needed to fit our budget, it needed to have everything done onsite, rehearsal dinner, nuptials, ceremony and after party, and it needed to be able to accommodate everyone who wanted to stay. It did that and so much more. The wedding coordinator Melissa is beyond phenomenal. She always answered my concerns and questions so quickly and thoroughly, sometimes she answered them before I knew I had them! She kept me exactly on schedule so I never felt behind or running out of time. She facilitated the absolute most stunning weekend I could imagine. She is a true asset to the Inn.
Christmas farm inn has certain vendors hat they work with, the DJ, justice of the peace, baker and flourish. (We didn’t use the florist because I’m too crafty) I was concerned about the DJ being lively, the cake not being perfect, the photographer catching every shot, and everything else you worry about for your big day. I shouldn’t have. They were perfect.
People have said that my wedding should have been in magazines. Looking back and reminiscing, I’m thankful I made the right choice. This was the 8th venue we toured. We never look back thinking what if!
Thank you Christmas Farm Inn for making our special weekend everything we dreamed of.
Jason and Donna

I can’t recommend The Christmas Farm Inn enough!
Melissa is an absolute blessing - she is the hardest working, most patient, calming person you could have working with you during your journey.
We were travelling from the UK for our wedding and...
flying over the majority of our guests too so we couldn’t just pop by to check details, check spaces, or rooms and Melissa handled everything.
I had random crazy ideas, things I couldn’t get married without, a whole different wedding day agenda based on our UK customs and Melissa didn’t even flinch.
The venue is stunning (we married in the snow in December) and from the moment we arrived all the staff welcomed us by name and made our guests feel very special indeed.
We had views of Mt Washington as the sun set whilst we exchanged our vows in The Carriage House (which has a wonderful spa downstairs which myself and the bridal party made use of whilst my husband and his groomsmen skied just up the road).
Every part of our weekend went without a hitch thanks largely to the wonderful staff at The Inn.
We will return here, any excuse we can find.

I can’t say how amazing the experience was to have eloped at the Christmas Farm Inn. Melissa was absolutely amazing, she made it so easy and stress free. From start to finish and all in between she did a wonderful job.
I had my hair and makeup...
done at the spa what an AMAZING job the women did.
The JP we had was Barbara, she was the sweetest and you just could not help loving her. Truly a blessing.
The photographer Sara was wonderful, she made us feel like we were just there by ourselves.
The dinner/cake was amazing the night that we got married. Service was wonderful an made us feel very special.
Over all a fantastic would not have done anything different
Dream come true! I cannot say enough about Christmas Farm Inn and the wonderful people that work there. Jim and I had been engaged for two years and I was awful with making decisions and picking a venue. When Christmas Farm came on my Fac...
ebook feed I fell in love immediately! Melissa was wonderful to work with and made me feel calm and at ease at once. Our wedding was just a few weeks ago on 3/10/2018 and I still look at all of the pictures daily! The barn and carriage house were amazing and the day turned out to be everything I had dreamed about ( with snow included) !!! Everyone that we interacted with while there were so nice and made us feel so special, down to wishing us congratulations on the chalkboard at the reception desk. I would give CFI 10 stars if I could and I cannot wait to return for our anniversary every year :)
Response from the Vendor on 03/20/2018

ee you both again next year! All the best, Melissa & the CFI Team
A true fairytale. We had the honor of working with Melissa while planning our wedding and truthfully I could not have asked for anyone better! She was always there for me when I had a silly question and she was always so kind and prompt with he...
r replies. I must have asked her the same questions 10 times, but she never seemed to get frustrated. We thought she was awesome with just the planning and she somehow outdid herself more on the day of! She not only took on staying in touch with us all day long but she always was managing tours for other couples that day as well. That day went off without a problem. No bridezilla moments, there was nothing that was forgotten and everything went by so smooth. Even when I try to think real hard about something that went wrong, I cannot think of one thing!
Whenever we needed something the venue was always right there as well. Housekeeping was so sweet and the welcome desk was so awesome. It was freezing that day, maybe a high of -5 and they helped shuttle us from the carriage house to the barn. All of the rooms in the venue were a comfortable temperature where you forgot it was in the middle of winter. The employees are all so sweet! They remembered people from the night before and brought up conversations they had previously and the bartenders remembered everyone's drinks! Which is impressive when you have 75 people!
It has been weeks since the wedding but all of our guests still go on about how amazing the venue was and how top notch the staff is. Some have already booked a vacation with the venue again because they cannot wait to go back.
If I could do it all over again I would. It was worth all the stress while planning (from family not venue), it was worth the 3 hour drive, it was worth it in the cold.
If you want a dream come true and a flawless wedding, this truly is the place to be. You will not be disappointed

My husband and I got married at the Inn on December 20th, 2017! It was a perfect day for a white wedding! We got engaged in Jackson a year earlier and wanted to return for our wedding. I looked at a few Inns in the area but fell in love with th...
e Christmas Farm. I was a college senior and my husband is active duty military so planning a wedding had an added level of stress, however Melissa was sooo helpful throughout the whole process. She always made sure I was happy with how things were going and had regular check ins during the months leading up to the wedding. We had a morning ceremony in the carriage house in front of the fireplace and then we had an afternoon reception in the dining room of the main Inn. The food was incredible!! The staff at the Inn was so friendly and everyone helped to make the day so special. There is not a single thing I would change about our wedding day! We can't wait to visit the inn the in future!

My husband and I had a small wedding on December 21st, 2017 at the Christmas Farm Inn. We couldn’t have been happier with this venue. The Wedding Coordinator Melissa was amazing from start to finish. She handled all of our last minute changes, ...
including us bringing our dog to the nuptials like a complete pro. I was looking to have a romantic Christmas themed wedding and this was exactly what we got. The property was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Our guests were greeted by the friendly staff and given all the information they needed about the property and the wedding events. Many of them commented on how friendly and pleasant everyone at the Inn was. The day of our wedding went smooth and seamless thanks to Melissa. She handled all of our needs and made sure it was a worry free day. Our reception was in the barn and this was also decorated with a large Christmas tree and beautiful lights. The food!!!!! I can’t say enough about the food. The reception dinner was delicious , many guests also commented on this. It wasn’t just the reception dinner but the breakfast at the inn’s restaurant was delicious. I can see why this Inn is known for their food. The convenience of having the Aveda spa right there on the property also made it quite easy for out of town brides to get ready. My guests were able to enjoy some massages before the wedding as well. The vendors that the Inn recommended were also on a 5 star level. I literally cannot say enough about this Inn and their staff. This will be a place that we recommend to everyone and visit yearly now. Thank you CFI.

We got married with just our kids by our side at the Inn Nov 2017 and I couldn't have asked for a smoother, happier day!! The staff from the moment we got there for our very private elopement weekend was nothing but gracious. We met the JP the ...
evening before sitting by the fire, the kids understood their part in everything. The next day everything moved like clockwork...flowers delivered to our cottage on time, my hair appointment at the salon was punctual, Melissa came into work to check on us and ended up going the extra mile by using my daughters cellphone to snap some pictures during the ceremony. The ceremony was held at the large fireplace and the Christmas decorations JUST went up that morning, honestly it was the best!! Our meals were fabulous our whole stay but the best part was my new husband is vegetarian and had options on the Inn's menu!! The cake we received at our dinner that night was delicious and elegant. I had a wonderful experience with how diligently Melissa worked to make sure every piece fit together smoothly and the only thing I had to think about was a photographer, and even that she called him to check on him for me the day of the ceremony. It's a 1-stop wedding facility that is comfortable, low-key, great food, excellent staff and such beautiful grounds. We can not wait to come back to visit. Thank you for making my day just that, MY DAY!! I truly felt like we were known by all the staff and felt very much at home.

My husband and I decided to have a small and intimate wedding of 30. We loved the idea of getting married in a magical New England town with covered bridges and waterfalls. On a cold and rainy summer day, we visited the Christmas Farm. Immediat...
ely after touring the Inn, we decided to set a date. We appreciated the charm, on-site amenities, ceremony location options (in case of rain), delicious home-cooked meals, and how the staff made us feel so welcome! After setting the dat, the Inn provided us with a list of vendors they recommended—from then on, Melissa (the wedding coordinator) was there every step of the way! Melissa really took the time to help with all of the little details—including offering my favorite meal and making sure our favorite ice cream was served!
Our wedding day 9/3/17 was magical! Just like the day we first visited, it rained. But, we did not worry about a thing! We said “I do” by the fireplace in the Carriage House and then celebrated in the Barn.
Rain or shine, the Christmas Farm Inn will make you feel cozy, warm, and loved!

My husband and I booked Christmas Farm Inn for our July 2017 wedding back in the summer of 2015, after falling in love with this amazing venue during a visit. The charm of this historic venue combined with the beautiful setting of New Hampshire...
's White Mountains is just incredible. We had guests coming from across the country, many of whom had never been to New Hampshire or even New England, and we knew that this was a place that everyone would love.
During the time that we planned our wedding, we had nothing but good experiences exchanging emails with Melissa, the venue's amazing wedding planner. She is very knowledgeable and helpful, and such a pleasure to work with. We met her a few times in person to go over details as well, and she was so easy to talk to and answered every one of our questions, really making us feel confident that she had everything under control.
The weekend of our wedding, the Melissa and the rest of the staff made us feel so welcome, and put us at ease by thinking of everything before we even had the chance to worry about it! Melissa was there with me during setup and rehearsal on Friday, and then the whole day of the wedding on Saturday she was behind the scenes making sure everything went smoothly, sometimes in ways that I only found out from my guests after the wedding! She was truly amazing and I was so impressed by her, and so glad that she was there.
Everyone on staff was excellent. It was also so convenient to have the bridal party get hair and makeup done right on the property at the Aveda spa - and everyone looked great.
The food is another shining star at this venue - my husband and I visited for our tasting and were blown away by the quality of everything we tried. We talked the food up to our guests leading up to the wedding, and heard nothing but raves from everyone.
Our guests absolutely loved the venue and the surrounding area, I heard so many comments about how beautiful and scenic it was, and how charming the Inn was. The rooms and cabins are so unique - my husband and I stayed in the "Sugar House" cabin and it was just perfect. We look forward to coming back for anniversaries for years to come.
I would recommend this venue to anyone - it is a truly special place.

My husband and I were married at Christmas Farm Inn on 7/1/17 and we cannot recommend this venue enough! Communication from Melissa and Sandra was perfect throughout the planning process and they were supportive, while giving space for us to cr...
eate our own vision. There are so many lovely things we can say about CFI but the aspect that really took our wedding from great to perfect was the convenience of everything for us and our guests. Many on our guests traveled 4 hrs to come to our wedding so it was such a relief that once they arrived, everything they could want or need was on site. The bridal party used the spa to get ready and all of the vendors delivered directly to us so there was no stress about transporting guests or coordinating vendors. Breakfast being served and included in the room fee also added to the convenience. We could see our guests at breakfast and never had to worry that we didn't spend enough time with anyone. The food was very good and the staff were warm and truly cared that the weekend went well. We also used the spa to get massages and they were a lovely way to wrap up the weekend before heading in our honeymoon. We are forever grateful to Sandra, Melissa and the entire CFI team. It was really important to us that we could continue to make traditions where we were married so we are looking forward to our next getaway to CFI this winter.

hat gave us so much time to dream of what our special day would look like, and the Christmas Farm Inn & Spa far exceeded our expectations!! The elopement package at the Inn is absolute perfection, we also had a small list of guests stay at the Inn for the elopement and they loved the experience! The Inn is charming, the scenery gorgeous, the food unbelievably good! All of our guests raved about the dinner the night of our wedding, the lobster and shrimp pasta was amazing and the beef tenderloin was melt in your mouth delicious! The flowers and cake included in the package were perfect, my bridal bouquet was gorgeous and the cake was simple and yummy. Our room in the carriage house was a slice of heaven, all of our guests stayed at different spots in the Inn and they all loved the experience, from the rooms in the main inn to the salt box to one of the cottages. My daughters loved it there, the indoor pool was awesome! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The breakfast included in our stay was delicious, eggs benedict and belgian waffles, our guests were blown away!
The day of our elopement everything was completely perfect, the Inn handled every detail with grace and love. They even had a beautiful note for us in the Main Inn on the chalkboard which is just one example of how sweet they were and how special the day was.
Melissa was absolutely incredible to work with. She handled my overload of emails over the months with friendly support, there was never a moment where I questioned our decision to choose the Christmas Farm Inn & Spa. The Spa itself was lovely and I felt like a queen on the day of my elopement.
I wish we could go back and do it all over again! It was perfection!! We also went with a suggested photographer on the Christmas Farm Inn & Spa website, Anne Skidmore, who is an absolute gifted artist and the area around the Inn and the Inn itself was the PERFECT backdrop for gorgeous NH photos!
We are in love and cannot wait to go back to the Inn with our family for a visit. We truly felt like family while we were there! Thank you Melissa and the entire staff for an absolute dream come true wedding! Simple yet elegant. Small but perfect!!!

Christmas Farm Inn is a magical and quintessential New England venue surrounded by mountain views and stunning scenery. Tucked away down a winding road is this fabulous gem of an inn that will not disappoint! My husband and I had stayed at th...
e inn previously before deciding to elope at this intimate venue. From our very first phone call to lovely Sandra, we knew this was the right choice. Melissa, the event planner, is amazing and took care of everything we asked and more. When I made the mistake of going over on alloted guests and offered to forgo my dinner, Melissa insisted they would work it all out. And they did! Our ceremony in front of the carriage house fieldstone fireplace was a memory our friends and family will share forever. The food is delicious and they make menu selection easy. Barbara, the officiant takes the stress of ceremony preparation away with her vast years of experience and sense of humor. Our local photographer Tim Shellmer captured every giggle, laugh, and tear with professional ease. And, Donna, from their spa, is a master at creating romantic wedding hair. I cannot say enough about our magical wedding weekend at the Christmas Farm Inn. We can't wait to return for our next getaway.

My husband and I eloped here last weekend. We toured the venue in March and were so impressed, we booked right away. Our wedding dinner was delicious and our waiter, John, made sure all were happy with whatever needs they had. All of the staff ...
were friendly and went above and beyond. Everyone made sure our day went smoothly and was stress free.
My daughter and I had our hair and makeup done in the spa. I am very, very picky about my hair and makeup. I could not have been more pleased. For the first time in a long time, I felt beautiful. This definitely translated to our photos. We looked fabulous!
Melissa K. helped me to achieve my vision, made sure anything we needed was taken care of. She was the cherry on top of the Christmas Farm Inn sundae.
Within a few minutes, we were able to have multiple options for photos. (The falls, covered bridge, church, library and general store.) All in addition to the many places on the site of the venue. Overall, it was a wonderful day and we couldn't have wished for more!!

arried this winter but it's perfect for any season. And extremely reasonable! If your not looking to spend a ton but still have it be very nice this is the spot to do it. All around perfect place for us. We had the best time and wish we could relive that weekend over and over again!
From start to finish everyone there made us feel like we were their top priority. We had absolutely no hiccups on the day of our wedding which made the whole day more enjoyable. I recommend Christmas Farm Inn for your weddings need.
I can't say enough about how amazing this venue is! The scenery was gorgeous, the food was great and everyone keeps telling me how much they loved it! Can't wait to go back every year for our anniversary!
Loved having my wedding here. Sandra and her staff were great. The food at my reception was great and my guest loved it. I couldnt asked for more.
I couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue for our intimate wedding this past weekend. Sandra, the owner, is absolutely incredible. So quick to respond to any questions/emails, and so willing to help make out vision come to life! It is the ...
perfect rustic, yet elegant spot to tie the knot. All of our guests stayed at the inn, and were so impressed with the overall experience! Campfire the night before the wedding, breakfast included every morning, amazing food for the reception dinner... nothing was left out! The Christmas Farm Inn is an absolute dream, I'm so glad we found it to start the rest of our lives together!
We had the most amazing wedding at CFI! I am an event planner in Colorado so I had high expectations from the get go. We decided to host a destination wedding since my family is in Jackson and knew our friends and family would fall in love wit...
h New England and the fall foliage. We had friends travel from Colorado, Chicago, Minnesota, CT, NY, NH, MA, VT, ME. They all left raving how beautiful the grounds were on-site and how adorably quaint and stunning the town of Jackson and surrounding areas were. Many stayed on site and loved their rooms and enjoyed the complimentary breakfast.
The entire staff at CFI knows what they are doing from the chef, waitstaff, bartender, housekeeping, maintenance and ground crew as well as the owners Sandra and Gary! They are all professional and go above and beyond!
The value that this venue provides is astounding! The food was delicious and what a selection to choose from! The barn doesn't look that enticing but once you put up your decor, the lights are lit and you're surrounded by friends and family it is absolutely gorgeous! My husband couldn't believe how beautiful it looked.
We are so thankful to Sandra and Gary as well as their staff. We absolutely loved every minute of our wedding day. The entire day exceeded our expectations and we are so grateful we chose CFI!
Thank you!!

From the moment I stepped onto the property of the Christmas Farm Inn, I knew this was where we would have our wedding! Sandra and Gary, the proprietors were so warm and friendly and eager to show us around the property and the different optio...
ns available for our wedding. The property and accommodations are beautiful. The layout of the property allowed for us to have our ceremony in the Carriage House which has a magnificent field stone fireplace, french doors and huge atrium windows with a wonderful view of the white mountains in the background. The reception was in a centuries old restored barn which also had a field stone fireplace and was perfect for the amount of guests we planned. Sandra was so accommodating and worked with us every step of the way. There was a glitch with guests making reservations in the beginning, but was quickly rectified and the majority of our guests were able to stay at the Inn for the wedding. The wedding was a destination wedding for us and our out of town guests and Sandra and Gary made everyone's weekend stay a memorable one! Sandra accommodated us with an informal rehearsal pizza party the evening prior to the wedding and everyone enjoyed the quaint pub on the property. The Carriage House was perfect for the ceremony but also houses 12 spa style suites that included fireplaces, balconies and jacuzzi tubs for two. In addition, the Carriage House also has a full spa which accommodated myself and my Maid of Honor with manicures and pedicures as well as having our hair and makeup done for the wedding day. Guests also took advantage of the spa services during their stay. The Christmas Farm Inn and Spa was the perfect venue for our destination wedding, without us or our guests having to travel too far to experience a truly wonderful and magical getaway. The food the entire weekend was exceptional as well as the service. Sandra and her staff went out of their way to insure that everyone was happy. Our wedding was perfect and was exactly the way we wanted our weekend to be. I would highly recommend the Christmas Farm Inn to brides and anyone who wants to get away to a beautiful destination where memories are truly made!
Our ceremony was held in the carriage house, the reception in the barn. the food was amazing, the barn perfect! Sandra really makes every event personal and special. Everyone has said what a wonderful wedding it was, but I can't take any credit...
! Sandra took care of all our needs. The staff is top notch!
I had a January wedding at the Christmas Farm Inn, and it could not have been more stress-free. First, my DH and I live in Oklahoma, so this was a destination wedding for us and our guests and we had just under a year to plan. We had the rehear...
sal dinner, wedding (including hair and makeup), and post wedding brunch at the Inn. It was a very small wedding, less than 30 guests, but the way everything was set up made it feel like the room was full. All of our vendors came from the recommendation list from the Inn, and each one was worth recommending. Any issues that we came across were handled both quickly and gracefully; I felt that I did not have anything to worry about in the planning process. Here is the thank-you letter that we wrote to the Inn after the wedding:
"Sandra, Gary and the Christmas Farm Inn Staff,
Thank you so much for a wonderful wedding. Everybody was a great help, from the very beginning when I was searching for a venue to the very end.
At first, I was afraid that there would he some catch that I did not know about to having an affordable wedding at such a beautiful place. When Daniel and I came up to the Inn last July, we were astonished at the beauty, professionalism, friendliness, and, of course, the food! After that visit, all concerns that we had were gone. That was the best vacation that we have taken in 5 years!
When we arrived in January for our wedding, nothing had changed and I wouldn't have had it any other way. All of my guests had a wonderful time! Did 1 mention how wonderful the food was? And how friendly the staff was? It was a long trip for everybody to spend the weekend there, and nobody regrets it. I cannot express how much of a weight this took shoulders, from stress of asking family to drive in and fly across the country (and an ocean for some!)for my wedding.
Also, speaking of stress, the spa was amazing. The masseuse noticed my tension, and, well, her hands are magic and she was very friendly. I am very uncomfortable around people I am not familiar with, but the staff made me dismiss that. Everybody else at the spa was equally amazing. I know that it was a tense day, but it was pulled off beautifully. They really made sure to go the extra mile. And on a more ‘bridal’ note, they made me feel beautiful. l will undoubtedly be visiting the Spa next time we visit the Inn.
Sandra, thank you for helping me plan so many details, and thank you for the help on the wedding day. We have many photos of you helping the wedding party! I did not realize it until I saw the photos, and I am grateful.
We will be seeing you again!"
We had our 65 person wedding at the Christmas Farm Inn in May. Our ceremony was in their beautiful Carriage House with a big stone fireplace and double french doors serving as our background. The reception was in their Barn. Although a small ve...
nue, it provided a great intimate and vintage reception. The food was GREAT. We are still receiving compliments on it. Many of our guests stayed on property for a reduced rate and they all loved it. The property also has space for larger weddings under a tent in their field with mountain views.
Sandra and Gary were great to deal with. The Inn is located close to the Jackson Falls and the Jackson Covered Bridge which both provided great photo ops for the wedding party!!
