Wedding - January 2025
I had been to a wedding here ten years ago and was thrilled to book the venue for my own. We have no complaints, everything went to plan, and the staff were...
wonderful.
Gina, the events coordinator, walked us through each step of the planning process and was very responsive as we planned our reception from across the country.
The venue: two stunning rooms. We had a space for dining and another place for cocktail hour and dancing. People could have quiet conversations or dance their hearts out. The Christmas decor was an added bonus for me as a winter bride. Christmas greenety adorned both rooms, the staircase, and the front entry. They lit the fireplace for us and had faux flickering candles in all the windows.
The food: spectacular. Our tasting was delicious, and the reception food perfectly mirrored that experience. We also asked to use our own recipe for our signature cocktail, and the bartender worked with us to make it happen. It was a huge hit.
The event: beautiful and stress free. Our reception went so smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. The staff cleaned everything up for us, placing our items in a spot for us to remove when we were ready.
We are so happy we had our event here and can't wait to come back for a date night!

Red Circle was absolutely perfect for our wedding reception. We have dined there many times and were sold on the food from the start. You must have the whipped potatoes! As far as ...
the wedding reception went, Norm was prompt in all communication and has a wealth of experience to guide you through the process. It’s evident how much of a routine they have in how smoothly the day went. The staff is incredibly friendly and courteous. We had a perfect day and would choose to Red Circle for any future event need we have.

This place is awesome!!! The Red Circle Inn is a must see if you’re looking for a venue. The upstairs is a hidden gem with a huge dining room, a separate vaulted ceiling dancing ...
area with room for a DJ or band, and a spacious outdoor patio area. All of which you can’t see if you just do a drive by.
We’re still getting rave reviews from guests that attended our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding reception in July. People loved the food and atmosphere of the Red Circle Inn. They were astounded by how classy and magical this place was.
As parents-of-the-bride, we really appreciated how the staff was both professional and personable. They worked with us as a team to plan the wedding reception of our daughter and son-in-law’s dreams at an affordable price.

We held our ceremony and reception at the Red Circle in the smaller "chapel" room. The venue was beautiful, the service outstanding and according to our guests the Beef Wellingt...
on was the best they ever had.
Our ceremony started at 4:30 and lead into cocktails and then dinner, and reception. I can honestly say I never saw the staff flipping over the room. Everything went seamless.
The staff worked very hard to make sure our tables were set, drinks were served and guests accommodated. It is a well oiled machine and really helped to make our wedding day special.
The Red Circle offers to do all set up and take down of decorations. We chose to bring our own and do the set up to our liking. Last minute changes needed to be made to address the event colors due to the fact that we didn't realize all place settings were red and white which didn't go with the color scheme we had chosen, but the they were open to us bringing our own settings in.
We truly felt things went wonderfully that night and have only heard compliments from our guests on how impressive the evening was.
Thank you to Angela and her staff for helping to make our night special.
Thank you,
Dave and Terese

We also had the pleasure of working with Angela... and she truly goes above and beyond. She set up everything and took everything down at the end of the night — everything looked beautiful. She was very approachable and worked well with our photographers and all other vendors! I can’t thank Angela enough!

Our wedding at Red Circle Inn & Bistro was the best day of our lives and we have to thank Norm, Angela, and all of the amazing staff members that we worked with throughout the enti...
re process to take care of us in so many ways.
Norm the owner is as detailed oriented as it gets and he made sure that every step of the process was accounted for. He was warm, endearing, and alleviated all of our stresses regarding the wedding process. His venue is absolutely beautiful, original, and doesn't compromise when it comes to anything, especially the quality of the food. He went out of his way on more than one occasion to make sure that August 4th was our ideal day.
We also worked with Angela who set up our reception and directed staff and all of the activities on the day of the event. She was extremely flexible and approachable in regards to all of our needs and on the day of the event was our MVP. She continually checked in on us, added beautiful touches to all of the decorations, and even helped take care of all of the gifts that we needed transported to our car. We had 100% confidence in her and for good reason. Everyone that interacted with her absolutely loved her professionalism and demeanor.
As for the venue, everyone raved about the quality of the food which comes from their restaurant downstairs which streamlines so many things. The bartenders and staff were unbelievably courteous and we just loved the separate room for dancing as it was near another bar and allowed those to have quiet conversation in the dining room.
Overall, this was the best day of our lives and we have to thank the staff at the Red Circle Inn for making our dream become a reality. We will be coming back every year for our anniversary!

We could not be happier with our choice to have our ceremony/reception at the Red Circle Inn. When we went in for our tour with Norm and saw the space in person, we knew that we di...
d not need to consider any other venues.One of our main ‘wedding wants’ was a sit down dinner that would treat us and our guests to excellent food. Of course, the Inn delivered on that. We reserved both rooms so that our guests would have lots of space to mingle as well as dance. We felt that for what we got (2 rooms for the entire afternoon, very delicious food, open bar), the price was reasonable. There is ample parking for guests. We decided to have our ceremony inside, but there is also a nice outdoor space with a pretty arch to get married under. However, we did notice that trains pass by that area, so that’s an important consideration if you are thinking about having a ceremony out there. It was really nice to have use of outdoor space too, so that guests could mingle outside in the nice weather. Overall, the space at Red Circle Inn is very classic and beautiful, and they serve some of the best food we have ever eaten. The Red Circle Inn on its own is great, but the whole experience was taken to another level due to Norm’s help. Having done many many weddings at the Inn over the years, Norm had great advice and we trusted him throughout the whole planning process. There were many small details that we were unsure of or had not even thought about, and Norm was there to help us plan them or make recommendations. He helped make the event less stressful- he takes care of contacting all your outside vendors and communicating with them so that you don’t have to worry about coordinating everyone. We appreciated his attention to detail and thoroughness, as we needed someone who could help us with everything. Like other reviewers have said, Norm really makes things easy and less stressful. We are still getting comments from guests saying that this was the best wedding they have ever attended

ooked at for our big day, and I couldn't be happier with our decision. The venue is charming and we received so many compliments from our guests. The food was great and plentiful. Norm made sure that every detail from the decorations to the timeline of the day were followed and in order. The staff took down and boxed up everything, allowing us to enjoy every minute of the night without any worries. I am so happy that we chose The Red Circle Inn and would highly recommend it for any event. Thank you Red Circle Inn for helping to make our day perfect!!

But I will say, it all turned out to be worth it. The day was beautiful and he worked his behind off. The wait staff was great (though several guests said the bartenders were surly), the food delicious, and the decoration of the room impeccable. Despite those bumps, I wouldn't change a thing.

packed up the centerpieces, chair ties, rocks on the table, and misc. table pieces. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I loved having the dining room separate from the dance floor, and the outside patio was an extra bonus. The bartenders were great and the late night pizza was delicious. I would highly recommend this reception hall. It was my dream location and I am so glad I was able to have it.
