Coachmen's Lodge

re able to get married and decided on having the wedding. I began searching vendors, ideas, venues and everything that goes with planning a wedding. I went and googled venues under $10k and the Coachmen's Lodge appeared in my search. I continued to read reviews, check out the menu, pictures and so on. I spent a good 5 hours researching the place. The next day i called and lovely Dan answered the phone promptly. He gave me amazing prices and suggested we sat down and also stopped by to look at the place. Me and the hubby took the hour drive to see if this was the venu. As we had searched other but quite expensive. When we arrived Dan welcomed us and we began the tour. The place was a dream! So many options as to where your ceremony can be and were to have the reception. There are plenty of options. We arrived March 20th so it was chilly and Dan said by spring this is changed. Everything is green, lush and filled with flowers. I first said yes to have the ceremony next to the waterfall but he then said come check this out. We walked further and there i saw the pond view and arbor. I was in love i got so exited. He continued to show us another area where he suggested to have our first dance, out in the open just me and the hubby while the guest surrounded us. It all sounded magical. We then proceeded to the reception area that i was not so sure about because it didnt give me the vibes i was looking for and Dan caught up to that feeling. He then said we have another venu that just got renovated. Dan said to the hubbs make sure she doest fall back from the excitement. We went outside and up the stairs. And opened the door i saw the changing room and then we were amazed at the beauty of the Wheel lock room. The floors, the chandelier, the bar, fireplace just everything was perfect. I said YES! to the venu I didnt think about it twice. We later went downstairs to talk about the food and beverage and the pricing was unreal. Under 10k for 75 people. We had appetizers, the entree, champagne, sangrias, cake. I mean the whole deal and the food was amazing. All the guest ate and were delighted with the food. Me and the hubbs had planned for the wedding on April 19th before our vacation. But Dan suggested we push to May and we did. Everything went smoothly we had time to find dj, plan invitations, favors, find dress and just all the planing. Dan made sure the guest were happy that we were attended to and was on top of everything. The staff is spot on as well making sure everyone is eating and having a good time. The location, the vibe and the people here are amazing. I am so happy we were able to plan everything and have such a great time and a A+ team. I hope this review makes all the soon to be brides and husbands to reach out to this venu and talk to Dan. He works with your budget and is such an important person in your wedding planning. If i could rate more stars i would. I loved our wedding it was so beautiful and i had an amazing time with friends and family. And more so with my hubby. Check this place out guys. And from the bottom of my heart thank you Dan and the whole Coachmens Lodge team. We will visit soon for dinner and drinks.

tions were done very nicely ! Our guests had a great time and it was a special memorable day for us! Thank you so much

started to effect the events themselves. To start, we had to be passed around between 4 different coordinators due to staff leaving abruptly, and each time we called to check up on our event, it seems like we had to start from square one because someone had left or forgotten to take notes. There was one point where we didn't hear form them for 2 months. At our wedding reception, the day-of-coordinator never once introduced herself to the bride and made mistakes that ended up costing the us key moments during out event. Dinner was 30 minutes late which pushed the whole day back due to her "misunderstanding the event sheet", and the groom had to walk across the room, to the coordinator to get dinner service started while they were all standing at the bar. The staff was cold and rude to the guests, even when it came to simple requests; One bartender even snapped at a member of the brides family when the family member had to correct the *bartender* on the difference of tequila and mezcal. On top of this, due to the massive scheduling error by the venue, the final performance of the night (being performed by the groom) was cut short, without warning. They just turned the house lights on, and started dumping out drinks and clearing tables without any sort of word from the staff to the wedding party. The atmosphere almost made us feel unwelcome at our own event. It's a shame, the location and venue are gorgeous, but when it comes to making your special day happen, it really felt like no one there had an interest in making it run smoothly. I cannot recommend Coachmen's Lodge due to our own experiences.

so close to the Rhode Island airport for those out of state guests. The views are picture perfect. There are different locations to have your ceremony, cock-tail hour, and reception. We settled on the pond view for the ceremony. We then had our cock-tail hour in the garden area with a beautiful water feature and pergola and ended the night inside a gorgeous renovated ballroom with a giant fireplace. Overall all the details are prefect, the food is amazing, the sangria was delicious, and the staff are so friendly and professional. This venue comes with a wedding coordinator and an assistant for the day of. Our coordinator was Dani and his assistant was Kaylee. Dani met with us several times to go over every detail and offer great unique suggestions such as having our first dance under the pergola during cocktail hour. We also picked almost all of his vendor suggestions. We had our rehearsal dinner at the venue and we felt very prepared with Kaylee running our rehearsal. For the rehearsal we picked the patio location to have a place different location from our wedding day. It was beautiful and the food was amazing. We also had an entire lawn area for lawn games if we wanted to add fun elements to the rehearsal dinner. For the wedding day there is a beautiful bridal suite with a private bathroom to get your getting ready shots and use through out the night for touchups. The grounds are prefect for pictures and are lit up at night for more photo opportunities. The ballroom itself has amazing lighting features for the dance floor and bar area. They think of everything. Overall we have no regrets about this venue. We only wished we hired more photographers to take pictures of everything! There are so many great photo spots. I would recommend this venue to anyone! I want to do it all again!

ho made it clear that they were there for anything we needed. Amanda was incredible leading up to the event and an amazing help day of. The food, including passed apps, a stationary setting, and passed meals, were out of this world. There were so many beautiful locations to take photos, host cocktail hour, and have your ceremony. We used the four seasons room which we loved with the windows overlooking the grounds. Thank you again for the experience of a life time!

did an amazing job and I'm so happy I chose this place for my wedding.

ic- our day was beautiful.

r amount towards the bar bill. The bride/ groom, immediate family and wedding party had no food or beverages during photos- only guests attending cocktail hour were served despite multiple requests. Then, we had issues when we went to pick up our belonging and conveniently they couldn’t find them. They then took it upon themselves to throw away our belongings as according to them they were in the way and we didn’t return soon enough. Since then everyone from our wedding coordinator to the supervisor to the owner have been incredibly rude and disrespectful, lying about things that never occurred but not one single apology. I could go on but the bottom line is that I do NOT recommend anyone plan their wedding or any other event here. Do not be fooled by the show they put on because they will stop at nothing to swindle additional money from you, blame you for anything that may not go perfect. They care only about what they gain out of you and will not go out of their way to help anyone. I recommend that you steer clear before you become their next victim!

ure every detail was discussed and included! The day of our wedding was amazing, we had the ceremony and cocktail hour outside on the stunning grounds. We celebrated in the newly renovated Wheelock room which is gorgeous! The food was phenomenal and drinks were great! We would highly recommend this venue!!!

ls with siracha and aioli, bacon wrapped short rib appetizers to the large dinner portions of braised short rib of beef, chicken Marsala and mashed potatoes to die for! The intimate garden area and ambiance of the four seasons room set the scene for the best day ever! Not to mention the beautiful, roomy bridal suite. Truly can’t thank you all enough and would recommend this venue a thousand times over! 5 stars!!

mazing and has really worked hard to try and make this process stress-free and what we want! One of the biggest positives is how DELICIOUS their food is!! We didn’t want our guests to have typical *blah* wedding food. The events chef was excited to make something different (thanksgiving dinner!) for our guests. The views of the pond and the rustic interior of the Four Seasons Room are so amazing and fit right in for our rustic fall wedding vision and the owner puts in a lot of time and effort in to the landscape looking over their pond. If you’re looking for a wedding venue with fantastic coordinators and attentive staff look no further than Coachmen’s Lodge!

pily flexible to accommodate our desires. She kept us in the loop regarding normal wedding details and new coronavirus guidelines. Our respect for Coachmen’s Lodge, especially Alicia, has skyrocketed since then. We ended up being able to keep our wedding date with our closest friends and family in Coachmen’s beautiful new cocktail garden. Our 11 guests have not stopped talking about the kindness of the staff, the beauty of the grounds, and especially the delicious mac and cheese bites. Fast forward a year (6/18/21) and we FINALLY had our storybook wedding reception in the newly renovated Wheelock Room! The staff at made everything perfect! You cannot go wrong with Coachmen's Lodge!

ried there. He listened to all of our ideas and made suggestions as well to help make our vision a reality!!! Everything from the grounds, to the staff, and the food was absolutely amazing!! The day was most definitely everything we could have dreamed of and more!!! Many thanks to Dan and The Coachman’s Lodge for helping us make wonderful memories that we will always cherish!!!

t was extremely happy. I can’t say enough of how beautiful the venue is and how well taken care of I was . I will suggest this location to everyone.

d I have every intention of going back for lunch and dinner when in the area. We can't thank and recommend this restaurant and venue enough!

ight questions and made sure not to rush us. She met with us several times before the wedding and never made us feel like a burden. For food, we went with the family style menu which was awesome! The venue gave us everything we were looking for - a nice ceremony spot, great scenery for photos, plenty of space for cocktail hour, and a gorgeous reception hall. We will be visiting Alicia and Coachmen’s often!

gorgeous and the food was hot and very tasty! We were treated like royalty and are so glad we chose Coachmen’s for our big day. Thanks for all of your hard work, Alicia!!

we lucked out and had beautiful day- ceremony and cocktail hour outside. The grounds themselves are beautiful so you don't need to go all out on decor/flowers outside. The food was wonderful. There is nothing but good things to say here, I would highly recommend Coachmen's lodge. Hotels are close too! We went to many venues in and around MA and I am SO happy we found this one.

anning process of setting up our reception. Dan was attentive to our guests to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves andvthat the food was cooked well. Dan really made it a stress free evening for us to enjoy ourselves, our family and friends. Thank you, Dan! Thank you, Coachmen's!

and dancing. The staff had everything ready to go, and we didn't notice them, but didn't need a thing! Donna was a perfect day of coordinator, and worked wonderfully with the baker, DJ, and photographer. It all felt very personal and intimate, but we weren't tripping over each other either. They made our day perfect. Thank you!

ed!

the big room downstairs. For us, the room was perfectly decorated as is. I didn’t feel that I had to make and bring all of the decorations, which was way less stressful for me. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We worked witn Dani mostly, and some with Donna. Both made us feel comfortable in making all our decisions. Dani helped make it easy to decide on all the details and time line with his experiences with weddings at the Coachmen’s. We had such an amazing time at our wedding! Everything went smoothly and there were no issues. Highly recommend this venue and this staff.

stations and passed appetizers.... The food was delicious and HOT The staff was professional and courteous to all the guests. We had rented one of the rooms in case of inclement weather, but fortunately didn't need it. Our coordinator Donna was fabulous. Very accommodating throughout the whole process. It was a pleasure to work with her. I also had a bridal shower for my daughter there in the four seasons room two years ago and that was a 5 star event as well. It was very well run. I would highly recommend this to anyone for any type of wedding gathering

r! The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is they had to change the aisle at the last minute because the grass was so soggy. They also added an arch to the garden where our ceremony was and it very obviously wasn't finished, it looked totally different than the other arches. Donna was super understanding and offered to move our ceremony location or help us decorate it. We chose to stay and decorate, and she and her team did a great job!! I would highly recommend them to anyone!
