We fell in love with this venue on a dreary January day. Unfortunately it was pouring on our wedding day as well, but the venue more than made up for the weather. Our guests and photographer were all impressed with the beauty of the grounds and...
the charm of the Carriage House and B&B. Charlotte was very helpful every step of the way in making our special day unforgettable.
When we first walked into to Heavitree, and met Charlotte, it was pretty much an instant yes for us. It's a beautiful and charming location that was perfect for our 10/16 wedding. Surrounded by fall colors our guests were absolutely enchanted b...
y the scenery. Charlotte is a wonderful host and will work alongside your vendors to help pull your wedding day together. It's a perfect location for small and intimate weddings.
When Western and I walked into Heavitree B&B, we were greeted by the sight of an 18th century great room, the fire warm in the hearth, the lighting dim but bright enough to see the guests were enjoying themselves. One of the guests, an Englishm...
an and his partner, dressed in authentic 18th century garb, congratulated us on our engagement. For Western, I think it was this moment where he decided he wanted to have the wedding there. And while it was truly an incandescent moment, for me it was the proprietor. Charlotte is kind and courteous, hardworking and giving, thoughtful and inviting woman. She wants her home to be your home. She wants to give you delicious and filling breakfasts and warm fires. Most importantly, all she gives in the everyday absolutely transfers to your wedding. Her and Antonio were so wonderful, I know for a fact our wedding was as it was because of their love for Heavitree and for giving people the best special day they can. Charlotte and Antonio, we thank you for making our day so wonderful. It was more than a pleasure being in your care for our wedding and for a few days of our honeymoon as well!
Any questions?
Had a 57 person fall wedding in October 2021 and it was everything I could have dreamed and more. Such a beautiful location, the view is incredible and the inn and carriage house make for a perfect backdrop. Rehearsal dinner and Sunday breakfas...
t were included in our package and was delicious and made everything so much less stressful. Charlotte went above and beyond for us. We didn’t have to worry about renting any cutlery/plates/linens etc which made things a lot easier. You can tell Charlotte really cares and wants to make everything perfect for you. I could not have imagined a better place to have our wedding.

We chose Heavitree B&B for our wedding venue and oh my goodness was it the perfect decision. Charlotte and Antonio worked with us every step of the way to help create our dream wedding! We hardly had to decorate the main house at all since it i...
s already so beautiful. The team is incredibly easy to work with and will go above and beyond to make your dream come true! Most items that we needed such as tables, place settings, chairs, champagne glasses/cups, etc were even included. It was as stress free as I could ever imagine planning an event could be simply because of the attentiveness of the hosts at the B&B. We stayed over the night of the wedding; the beds are super comfy and the breakfast provided the morning after was so yummy. I can not say enough wonderful things about Charlotte and her team, so if you're looking for a place to have your wedding or just a place to stay, check out Heavitree!
This cozy little New England Inn is the perfect place for a small ceremony! It was perfect for our 30 guests! It has options for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. We were inside because it was raining and winter, there is a room for the bride...
to get dressed. This place is truly incredible and Charlotte is the nicest person to work with ever! I cannot recommend this place enough if you want a small cozy wedding with a classic historic New England feel.

Charlotte Geer
Owner
Heavitree was created by Owner, Charlotte Geer. When she acquired early farm land with views of the 18th C farm where she was raised, she knew the site needed an early building. After a few years of searching, the building was found. It was a working tavern which she saved from destruction by purchasing it, dismantling it and reconstructing it to it's original 18thC splendor. Enjoying it as a private home for many years, Charlotte recently went through the process of getting it permitted to be a Bed and Breakfast and has evolved naturally into the perfect venue for small weddings.
