About This Vendor

A Historic Venue to Begin Your Newlywed Future

Concord's Colonial Inn is a reception wedding venue located in Concord, Massachusetts. This establishment is ideal for couples who wish to plan either an intimate or grand celebration. Boasting a variety of charming event spaces, it is adaptable and can play host to a number of occasions. Its design is one of its most striking features, but professional service staff and delectable cuisine surely add to its appeal. The building that is now known as Concord’s Colonial Inn was first constructed back in 1716. With over 300 hundred years of rich past to its name, this truly is a historic property. It has borne witness to many events, guests, and interesting occasions down through the years. One of the original structures once housed arms and provisions, while in a previous life it used to be a hotel. Over time, it has been refurbished and added to, making it increasingly comfortable and eye-catching. Today, it plays host to all manner of special occasions - perhaps your wedding will be the next historic chapter written here. Concord’s Colonial Inn certainly retains its notable appeal, but at the same time it is fashionably elegant. From the outside, it draws the eye with its well-kept green spaces, trees, and flowers. Inside, the decor is defined by a mixture of styles. In some rooms, muted tones greet guests, while in others dark woods complement floral curtains to create a homely ambiance. Throughout, there is an intimate and alluring appeal that is often augmented by sophisticated additions such as chandeliers and leather chairs. For the all-important ceremony, couples can join together surrounded by their nearest and dearest as they exchange rings, declare their vows, and say ‘I do’. Inside, chairs covered in white linens can be arranged either side of the aisle as the happy couple stands for their milestone moment. Elsewhere, the soon-to-be-newlyweds can hold hands in a room that flickers with candle light as they begin their journey as a married pair. Overall, as many as 125 guests can assemble at Concord’s Colonial Inn for wedding festivities. Additionally, accommodation is available for the wedding party to rest up and sleep after a long day and night of celebrations. This venue also offers fine cuisine which is ideal for the all-important reception meal, such as chicken piccata, stuffed shrimp, and fried tofu. A variety of wedding packages to suit low-key and larger affairs are available to choose from. For added convenience, the staff can work alongside couples to customize the experience. Other amenities available here include bar service, planning assistance, and more.

We had our wedding here in April, and I've been struggling to decide how to rate the Colonial Inn. We ended up having a very fun wedding, but only after the Inn nearly cratered the entire event two weeks before. We booked the Inn over a year b...
efore our wedding, and we reserved the cottage for the weekend. One of the main reasons we chose this venue is because of this adjoining cottage, where we were planning to hang out all weekend and host an after party. The cottage was very important to us. However, without any warning, our contact at the Inn called us two weeks before the wedding and told us the cottage was "no longer available." They blamed this on overbooking due to new reservation software, but we'd booked the cottage a year earlier, and they never gave us a real explanation for why we couldn't have the cottage. It seemed like they might have even bumped us so they could let out the cottage for a long-term lease. Regardless of the cause, though, this quickly shattered any trust we had in the Inn. After a couple of dozen calls with the Inn coordinator and the managers, and after threatening to pull out and find a different venue, we finally managed to resolve this issue—sort of. Instead of the cottage, they let us stay in a different house next door. The catch was that this house was unfurnished! Another dozen calls later and they agreed to furnish the house so we could stay in it. They did a decent job with the furnishing, and we were able to spend the weekend there, but it was not spectacular, and the house was definitely still a disappointment compared to what we were expecting from the cottage. Note that some of our guests also reported overbooking issues for their rooms at the Inn, so this was apparently not a one-off issue. We ended up having a nice weekend in Concord, and the wedding went off very well (although the food is also only decent). But I would stay far away from this venue unless they fix these issues and regain our trust.

We had a small wedding in April 2021. The Colonial Inn was the perfect venue for our reception. We used the Heritage Room for the dinner and dancing and Forge Tavern for cocktail hour. We provided our own decorations, but the staff did all the ...
setup and teardown according to our specifications, which made things a lot easier on the day. The staff was all very helpful and nice. The food from the Inn was incredible. With our small number of guests, we were able to have a menu of 4 entrees for each guest to choose from along with sides. This was definitely the best food I've had at a wedding reception. The Inn works with Concord Tea Cakes for the wedding cake. The cake that they made for us was also delicious. The cake was delivered to the Inn and brought in for the reception without us having to think twice about it. Apart from a few communications hiccups during the planning process, everything went very smoothly. We didn't have to worry about a thing for the reception on the day of our wedding. We'll definitely be visiting the restaurant regularly to enjoy more of their cooking!

My husband and I were married in September of 2019. We had our reception at the Inn and could not have been happier. It is such a unique venue and required very little additional decor which was a huge time and money saver. The Inn had EVERYTHI...
NG we needed. Accommodations, bridal sweet, after party cottage and a private seperate room for a family brunch the morning after the wedding. Shannon was our wedding consultant on the property and she answered every neurotic question I had in a more than timely fashion. She even swapped out chairs to fit our aestheic taste for no additional charge. There were a few perks that we weren't expecting! My bridesmaids and I were treated to a complimentary breakfast the morning of the wedding while we got ready in the GORGEOUS and ENOURMOUS bridal suite. We were also comped the wedding night in the bridal suite and given a more than generous discount the night of our rehearsal dinner even though it was hosted off property. The Inn also has cottages directly behind the inn. We rented these for the groom's party to get ready in the day of the wedding, but it served as the perfect spot for an after party! I can not speak more highly of our experience at Concord's Colonial Inn.

rom out of state. Both of our families were so impressed with not only the Inn accommodations but our food during dinner! Everyone has said that it is the best wedding meal they have had (especially the steak)! We can't thank everyone at the Colonial Inn enough for all of their work to make our Wedding day so special! We can't wait to come back to celebrate our future anniversaries!
