Five Bridge Inn

dge Inn (FBI). My (now) Husband and I immediately fell in love with the venue! From the manicured grounds, the cozy inn, breath taking views and the intimate barn- we knew we found our ‘I, do’ location. We had approximately 100 guests for our Wedding this past November (2022). The ceremony itself was held outside (along with the cocktail hour), and the remainder of the reception was held in the barn. Hosting an outdoor ceremony at the end of hurricane/early winter season can be an extremely uneasy feeling. This was one of my main concerns when we were searching for a venue. You can plan everything to a ‘T’, minus the weather. I expressed my concerns to my coordinator and she instantly made me feel at ease, saying ‘not to worry’. Boy was she right! Unfavorable weather was no challenge for FBI, they have a full proof weather back up plan that doesn’t have you spend any extra $$- not all venues can say that. Not to mention, their team onsite is top notch! Between Ellen, Ann, Anita, James, and Jay our wedding day was beyond PERFECT! Huge shoutout to Ellen our day of coordinator, she made all of our visions come to life. Not only did she oversee all day of details, she strived to ensure any concern I had or any hiccup that occurred during the day was handled swift and efficiently. She was the one that made the day so seamless! In addition to Ellen...Ann is a doll! She welcomed us into the Inn with open arms. One of my favorite elements was being able to get ready at the inn the day of and stay there the evening before/after the wedding. Not having to shuffle place to place helped ease the nerves and tensions as we prepared for the big day. There are not enough words I could use to describe the service FBI offers to not only their Bride, Groom, and Wedding party….but the guests too! We had dozens of guests coming up to us during the night stating how amazing the day has been and that our wedding was one of the best! It is a huge relief to know you are in good hands when hosting one of the largest events of your life. I fully recommend this venue to any couple who is looking to have the utmost spectacular day!

g- my coordinator Ellen D. was crazy organized and had EVERYTHING under control. I didn't worry about a thing on my wedding day. The Inn was SO GORGEOUS. I was married on Nov 20 and I am still on cloud 9. I didn't want the day to end. Thank you to all at Five Bridge- recommend it to all brides- although I preferred the smaller venue int he barn- the outdoor space /new space is so beautiful as well... loved the fact that we were able to have the barn after the reception for the after party!!! one of the amazing perks of this venue.

he planning process to our departure the morning after our wedding. The team was always responsive to emails, the grounds Inn and barn are all so beautifully maintained, and the decoration shed of wedding decor to be borrowed and re-used was sooo helpful. Five Bridge Inn's connections to really lovely local vendors (Lovely Occasions, 77 Petals Florist, Ralph's catering, etc.) all of them were so wonderful and helped our day run smoothly. I'd highlyyy recommend FBI to anyone.

own guests loved exploring both during the wedding weekend) and excited to be creative in designing their wedding experience! Having both the bride and groom’s parties be able to get ready onsite in their own separate spaces was incredibly convenient - both suites were exactly what we needed to relax and get ready for the day! We also loved that there were so many options for first look and photo locations so we could play around and get the best shots to represent us. Our photographer was recommended by the Five Bridge Inn - the property is large, so it was great to have a photographer who was familiar with where to go. I’d recommend this to others as well! We had our ceremony at the birch arbor and our reception in the tent. There was more than enough space for everybody to drink, eat, dance, and hang out. The cocktail hour patio was gorgeous and perfect for the amount of people we had. Folks could hang out by the pool, sit by the bar, or visit the animals. We did an afterparty at the fire pit as well and opted to bring our own snacks and drinks for the afterparty, and everybody had a great time. The venue had tons of alternate locations and rain plans, so we knew we were covered (literally) in the event of anything less than an earthquake. This helped ease a lot of anxiety in the planning process. Being able to stay onsite and have breakfast provided to us the next morning was a HUGE perk. It honestly made everything so easy! We also got drinks for cocktail hour and the reception through the Inn’s Five Star bartending service and were super impressed with the quality and selection for the price we paid. Bartenders were friendly, professional, and helped keep the party going. We loved working with Sonya, James, Chippy, and the whole Five Bridge Inn team for our wedding and highly recommend them!

y fiance fell in love with it too. The Barn had the absolutely perfect cozy, woodsy vibe that we were going for. Our guests have not stopped raving about how beautiful and different the venue was. I could go on and on about all of the bonuses that make this venue such a good value - from the salon area where all of the ladies got our hair & makeup done, to the new “man cave” where the guys could hang out, the STUNNING grounds with endless photo ops (with llamas!), the option to have a fire pit after-party until 1 am (we opted for the wood-fired pizza and HOLY MOLY it was good!!), and the fact that our family and wedding party were all able to sleep there that night, AND we got an incredible breakfast the next morning. Every single staff member was helpful and went above and beyond. Special shout-out to Denise who was our contact and day-of coordinator. She was super responsive, SO helpful during planning, and she literally felt like family on the day of our wedding. She kept the whole day running on time and set up my decor items just like I had envisioned. I could go on and on and on - Five Bridge Inn is the best! Wish we could get married all over again!!

did that option as it did not disappoint ! We hope to have a one year anniversary celebration back at the barn !!

ur loved ones at our rehearsal dinner and it was a beautiful night under the stars to welcome our guests afterwards. I was able to spend the night at the Inn with my family and friends and it was so exciting to wake up at my venue the morning of our wedding! We got married at the birch arbor and danced the night away in the beautiful tent! It was truly the perfect event, and we could not have been more appreciative of the venue! Our wedding coordinator, Ellen, was so responsive and did more than we could have asked for to ensure our day went off without a hitch! We were also able to go to the venue a few times prior to, which relieved so much of my stress leading up to the day. The Bernie Sanders closet is a decor brides dream; we found fans there the day of that helped our guests stay somewhat cooler during our 90-degree ceremony. Overall, the communication, love, and support were unmatched at Five Bridge. We are so happy to have chosen it for our special day!

the team at Five Bridge made everything easy and amazing for our day. My bridesmaids and I got to the venue early on the morning of the wedding to use the hair and makeup suite to get ready. This made the day simple and smooth. The groomsman and my husband used a different suite to get ready on the morning of the wedding. They hung out, played poker, and got dressed on the property. This made the morning relaxed and fun. Every angle at the venue gave us fantastic pictures. Our reception was in the Barn on Five Bridge Inns and it was the perfect combination of both my husband and my personality. From the things hanging on the walls to the comfortable and fun outdoor firepit, it was truely amazing and a one of a kind experience that we would recommend to anyone looking to have their marriage ceremony there!

ent, and the rehearsal dinner in the barn the night before. Anne and James were phenomenal and we wanted for nothing our entire stay/wedding. Highly -highly- recommend this venue.

g the reception was amazing for me and my husband as well as the bridal party. Also the wedding coordinator that they assigned to us Ellen, was super kind and helpful . I highly recommend this venue to anyone. Our cousin recently got engaged and loved our wedding so much they’re looking into getting married here as well .

ginal deposit despite postponing by a year because of covid. Possibly the best part was that everything was on site: plenty of space to get ready in the morning, amazing grounds for photos, afterparty at one of the bonfire pits, and we stayed in the inn on-site, meaning that we didn't have to worry about transit at all. The off-season deal was also a steal- it did mean that certain things were required (like using their preferred caterer), but it was a great bargain given everything that it included, and it meant that all the pieces fit seamlessly.

l dinner by the pool an that was incredible also. After having such a fun filled two days it was fantastic to end it with a relaxing couple of hours by the fire with some smores an brick oven pizza. All I can say is 5 stars for sure an you won't be disappointed at all.

h Sonya who gave us the full tour of the Inn and grounds. We fell in love. Then Covid hit and our big day had to be pushed. I contacted James, he was incredibly supportive and accommodating in finding us a new date for 2021. Our big day happened a few weeks ago now, and between Ann continually checking in to make sure we were all set and had everything we needed, to all our vendors doing an incredible job, everything was perfect. The grounds at Five Bridge Inn are stunning. You can go from the rustic farm feeling of the barn to upscale beauty of the tent. The salon to get ready is an amazing space and gets you excited to begin your day! Then, you get up to the rooms and it is classic New England Inn vibes. We were married under the wedding pavilion next to the tent, had cocktail hour by the pool and our reception in the tent. After our long day, we were able to go change up into comfy clothes and spend the rest of the night by the bonfire with our closest friends and family. We woke the next day to a delicious spread of breakfast foods before we departed. If you are looking for a venue that has it all--this is the place! Thank you Messenger Family for your hospitality! We hope to be back in the future for other celebrations!

helped every step of the way! She physically helped me move tables and chairs. The covered area by the pool looked so beautiful for the rehearsal party. The ceremony was under the pavilion out side of the tent. The crystal chandeliers stain glass windows, just beautiful! It felt like you were in chapel! The tent is beautiful! The vintage tables and sweet heart looked so pretty! We decorated with gold frames and candleholders . The large dance floor is awesome! The after party by the fire pit was amazing! Five Bridge staff makes the pizza. So good!! The bride and groom, parents and siblings stayed at the Inn. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The next morning we enjoyed breakfast together. It was a great way to end the weekend! We are all so happy with how the wedding turned out!

Our guests can’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue is and I couldn’t agree any more. So much is included in the rental ans it’s definitely worth your money! Highly recommend

then, COVID hit. We had to move our ceremony and reception to the tent area. But Ann and her team did not stop working until our dream wedding came true! They were all amazing and very accommodating. Words cannot express how much I appreciate their hard work. I am so grateful. Also, my guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous the property was! Plus, they supply a fire after your reception so you can keep the party going until 1 am! My family and friends had such a great time. The morning after your wedding, you and your guests staying at the inn are provided a homemade breakfast, cooked by Ann herself. It was so delicious! I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a night to remember for the rest of their lives. Thank you!!!

acks every step of the way. They helped us transition everything so we could have it in the tent and at the birch. James was there to listen to me cry multiple times over the phone! He never gave up the faith and they fought HARD to make sure we would have a safe and fun wedding. When the big day finally came, Ann and her family opened their arms to us and accepted us into their inn as if we were a part of their family. We have never stayed somewhere as magical! It wasn't just the "fancyness". It was the little things. The fact that there are shampoos in the showers waiting for the bride and guests.. there are snacks for you.. she COOKS for you.. you can swim..you can have YOUR DOG.. the list goes on and on. When it was time to walk down the aisle, Ann helped me fluff out my dress train and I will never forget it. At night, they lit us a huge fire and even helped organize our items! I will never forget this place & these incredible people. For the small price you get a lifetime of memories. Thank you Five Bridge for making my fairy tale come true. -Ashley & Eric Carvalho

to the beautifully decorated tent reception, and the cozy bonfire that is lit at the end of the night to keep the party going! Not to mention the cute Llamas that live on site! We had an amazing wedding and an amazing day of coordinator, Sonya, who kept contact with all vendors and helped to make sure the day went perfectly! Sleeping at the inn is such a bonus and the breakfast in the morning was the perfect way to start our first day as husband and wife!

r was so friendly, and treated us all like her own family. Our wedding coordinator was Sonya Heroux. As the mother of the bride I could have never done this without her. She was there every step of the way. The day of the wedding she made all of things my daughter wanted come to life in a way that was indescribable. She took all the stress of of everyone and did such an amazing job. If you are planning a wedding and need a venue I would highly recommend The Five Bridge Inn as well as Sonya for your coordinator. Thank you so much to everyone there for making this the very best day for my baby girl❤️

irst visit, to the phone calls, the text messages, the multiple site-visits, Ann Messenger, James, Jay, Mike, Adrianna, Sonya, and so many others cared for us during our weekend. The value of this experience is unparalleled. First, this venue is fantastic because for an INSANELY LOW PRICE, you have access to the grounds for your rehearsal dinner and the staff is available to talk you through your ceremony. Then, before your wedding, you have the opportunity to get ready in the BYOB "hair and make-up suite" all day. Our ceremony was at 4:00, and after getting ready, Ann and her staff helped us find a place for our first look. The cocktail hour went off without a hitch, thanks to her experienced staff and the magical Ralph's catering team (see our review for them!). Ann and her team were there every step of the way- even down to helping us open the doors for our surprise introduction! As our reception was wrapping up, the staff lit us a bonfire for the after party and we were able to hang out with 50+ of our closest friends and guests. THIS IS NOT a venue that is timed to only give you the traditional "five hours." This is a celebration. Around 1:00 am, we put out the fire and (INCLUDED) in our small fee was gorgeous sleeping accommodations for 14 people in Five Bridge Inn!!! The next morning Ann cooked us a delicious brunch with homemade quiche with eggs laid on her farm! It doesn't get much more farm to table than that (And have you seen the llama's and alpaca's she has?). To top everything off, our 14 guests got to spend the day lounging by her pool as we unwound from an amazing evening and wedding the night before! In addition to all of this, there were an amazing number of small touches that blew us out of the water: * We were worried about transporting some older family members, so Ann had a golf cart standing by to transport them if needed. * The staff literally moved tables for us at the last minute to accommodate extra picture frames on our memory table. * Ann stopped us throughout the day to encourage us to eat and drink and she brought us little snacks after the ceremony. * The couple from the wedding before us left flowers and greenery behind. Ann made sure to save it, text us pictures and helped us build beautiful centerpieces with the extras to help us save on costs. Additionally Ann has a shed FULL of wedding decorations that other couples have left behind and she kept thinking of little extras for us including: putting out an "unplugged" wedding sign, extra tissues, bug spray, sunscreen, table numbers, arches, easels, card boxes, tool, the list goes on and on!!! * As members of the LGBTQ community, and with lots of queer guests, this venue raised us up with rainbow joy, putting out rainbow and trans flags, and letting us create non-gendered bathrooms. * We were worried it might rain and with such a huge party, it was important to us that a totally outdoor venue would have a great rain plan. While we didn't get a single drop of rain, Ann had hundreds of umbrellas lined up and staff ready to go! Is there anything else to say? I could go on and on! Comment on this post if you want more details and I'm happy to PM you!

r email, Ann the owner, got back to me immediately. Within two minutes of our tour, my wife and I knew this was the place for us. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and meticulous. A classic New England landscape. Between the massive tent, barn, Inn, covered cocktail hour area, herb garden, multiple ceremony sites, ALPACAS, Five Bridge Inn has EVERYTHING you need. The staff was so accommodating. Ann said we could use whatever vendors we want, but offered the vendors they have worked with in the past. We went with their preferred caterer, Ralph's Catering, which was outstanding. Our day-of coordinator, Sonya, works out of Five Bridge and was the absolute best. During the whole day, she had everything under control and kept us on schedule throughout. We also had our rehearsal dinner in the barn and it was fantastic. I could go on and on about how great this place is, but you get the point. All of our guests raved about how great of a venue it is, and they are right. It is the best. I wish we could restart the wedding over. It was the most fun possible and I would recommend it over and over and no place else. Book your wedding here!

n (decorated by Event Designs By Lisa), the campfire/brick oven pizza party, to the homemade breakfast served the next morning- this venue went above and beyond anything we could have expected. Having the grounds for 24 hours is one of many unique features that set this venue out from all others. Rain or shine, this beautifully developed venue will keep you and your guest comfortable and happy (many other venues we looked at didn't have good alternatives for poor weather conditions). I would also recommend working with wedding coordinator Sonya, she is highly talented at what she does! Lastly, another one of my favorite features here are the adorable llamas (and doggo Chippy)! We have gotten so many compliments from our guests stating that this was one of the best weddings they have been too! Thank you Ann and everyone at Five Bridge Inn- you all helped make our wedding day we will never forget!
