We had our wedding ceremony held at Phineas Swann this past March. There were 8 of us and 4 dogs. Our requirements for the wedding included: a cozy place for us and our guests to stay the weekend, a reception dinner, and having our dogs part of... the fun. We booked Phineas Swann for our wedding weekend, sight unseen going solely based on reviews. Darren and Lynn’s bed and breakfast fulfilled all of our wishes and more. They have established a professional, beautiful, and flawless business with all the needs any guests would want or didn’t think of. The staff (Gina and Matt) were personable and you could tell they enjoyed their jobs. Darren and Lynne made our stay feel like we were in the comfort of our own home. The owners have put their heart and sole into Phineas Swann and it shows. The rooms, including the common areas, exceeded our expectations. The rooms have the coziest beds and the cutest decor. Their food (breakfast and ceremony) was exceptional!! It’s nearly a month later and we are still talking about the delicious food. The staff even accommodated a special diet restriction for one of our guests. As for the wedding, we were just at the start of the coronavirus pandemic so you can imagine how anxious we were days leading up. Darren and Lynne assured us we would be safe and the inn would be clean/sanitized. There was no doubt about it! The wedding ran so smoothly. Darren and Lynne have developed relationships with outside vendors such as hair, florists, bakers, etc. Our wedding package, “Just the 10 of us”, included a cake which I must say was the best cake we have ever had at a wedding. Couples worry that the cake is wasteful but this was the absolute opposite. The flowers were also gorgeous and we even dried them so we could have a wedding day souvenir. We plan to return again as a family in the near future and look forward to a relaxed, fun filled weekend.
