Salem Cross Inn

A beautiful wedding venue in a gorgeous farm setting. They have an outstanding staff that made the whole event run perfectly from start to finish. The venders that they recommended (wedding planner, photographer, DJ ) worked seamlessly with the staff to make a very special day.

Our experience at Salem Cross Inn for our son's and daughter in-law's wedding reception was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we started planning, Donna and Nancy were incredibly helpful and supportive, ensuring every detail was taken care of. They made the whole process seamless and stress-free. The venue itself was charming and perfectly suited for a romantic wedding. The ambiance added an extra touch of magic to their special day. Now, let's talk about the food – it was beyond words. The fire roasted prime rib was an absolute standout. Tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Our guests are still raving about it! The service was impeccable. From the attentive wait staff to the skilled bartenders, everyone went above and beyond to make sure our guests were taken care of and had a fantastic time. Our son's/daughter's wedding day was truly perfect, thanks in large part to the wonderful team at Salem Cross Inn. If you're looking for a venue that combines rustic charm with top-notch service and unforgettable food, look no further. We can't recommend Salem Cross Inn enough.

The Salem Cross Inn was easy to work with and had great food! The preferred vendors we chose were great as well, and our wedding day went very smoothly.

Our wedding was 10/1/22. This was a difficult time for the Salem Cross Inn. Nancy and Donna were phenomenal and super helpful.

My husband and I got married at the Salem Cross Inn in June 2023 and we had a great experience! Donna and Nancy were extremely attentive and helpful with the planning process. We had several phone calls and in-person meetings with them leading up to the day and they always made time for us. I loved being able to get ready in the bridal suite, it was a perfect space to relax and get ready with my bridesmaids before the ceremony. It ended up raining on our wedding day so we got to utilize the downstairs area and it was so cozy with the fire going and the lights on the ceiling. Our guests loved the food - we have received several compliments about the strawberry shortcake and the prime rib. We loved the vibe of the venue and the quality of the experience. I highly recommend the Salem Cross Inn for any event, it is a wonderful backdrop for photos!

Salem Cross Inn was the most perfect venue for our wedding in May and it was flawless! Nancy and Donna were so helpful throughout the whole planning process and were quickly available to answer any questions. Every detail was planned out and the whole day was exactly how we wanted it. So many of our guests mentioned how much they loved the food and how gorgeous the setting was. Everything was absolutely worth it. They were a pleasure to work with and we could have asked for anything more!

Our wedding day was perfect! There wasn’t a single thing that went wrong. The venue was great. The people that work at Salem Cross Inn were so helpful and helped with anything we needed. Nancy and Donna were so helpful right from the beginning of booking the venue to our wedding day! They even helped with my dresses bustle during the wedding because my mom and I couldn’t get it to work. Everything was so smooth and it will forever be my most memorable and happiest day! I highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding venue to go to Salem Cross Inn!

We recently had our wedding at Salem Cross Inn , and we couldn't be happier. Nancy and Donna were fantastic, helped us from the very beginning until the very end. Our wedding was small , 32 guests so we had it in the Brookfield Room which was a perfect fit. All our guests raved about the food and the venue. Our wedding was everything I ever wanted it to be.

Our experience with the Salem Cross Inn was fantastic, right from the very beginning. From the moment we contacted Donna and Nancy, part of the family who owns the farm, restaurant and venue, we knew that we were in good hands. Both of them made the planning process extremely easy and stress-free, and we only had to make the fun decisions like what food we would serve and the timeframe for our event. Our specific event was unique because my husband was deployed unexpectedly and we had to cancel our planned date. Both Nancy and Donna were very understanding and accommodating and helped us to reschedule the following year once he returned home. In the days and weeks leading up to the event, the barn where we were holding the event, was severely damaged from a vehicle accident. Nancy and Donna contacted us right away and let us know they were going to make it right. Our reception was held in the dining room with dancing down in the tavern, and it was absolutely perfect. The food was outstanding, and the service was even better. The venue has stunning views overlooking a picturesque farm and made our day extra special. We highly recommend booking with Salem cross Inn!

Salem Cross did a wonderful job helping to make our wedding day special. Donna and Nancy were great hosts and were able to answer all of our questions when they came up. The whole meal was delicious and everyone still talks about it to this day. We lost power for two hours after our ceremony due to a thunderstorm and they handled it with ease and were still able to get all the food out on time and made sure everyone was having a good time. I would recommend this venue to anyone that is getting married in the future.

My husband and I recently had our wedding at the Salem Cross Inn, and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue. From day one, Nancy and Donna answered all of our questions and concerns and helped us create the wedding of our dreams! From the views, barn, gazebo, food, staff and drinks everything was perfect and we heard from multiple guests it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. I couldn’t recommend a better venue to have the wedding of your dreams at!

The owners are some of the most disrespectful people I’ve ever met. They made not only me but my sister and MOH cry on my wedding day. They said awful things about my family when they thought they were out of earshot, but my husband heard everything.

What a beautiful venue with a staff that truly goes above an beyond to make your wedding day PERFECT. From the day that we first started planning our wedding, Nancy and Donna were so helpful and supportive. They embraced some of our crazy ideas (like having our dog in our wedding ceremony), they made sure every aspect of our wedding was covered (even providing us with a great preferred vendor list), and they were quick to respond EVERY TIME! Even despite a rough start to the morning for both our wedding party and the venue (a car running straight through the barn doors of the venue) didn't slow them down. They quickly moved our table seating arrangement into the main restaurant, and shut down their additional business just so we had the space to host our wedding. If that doesn't speak volumes of their flexibility and kindness, I don't know what does! I only wish that I had the ability to rate this venue above 5 stars, because they truly deserve it. There is no surprise that the Salem Cross Inn continues to be ranked as a top Knot venue. Consider planning your wedding with the Salem Cross Inn, I promise it will not disappoint. Thank you again Nancy, Donna, and the whole Salem Cross Inn staff for all of your hard work and true dedication to all you do.

What a night!! My wife and I were married and had our reception at the Salem Cross Inn last September. We could not have asked for a more beautiful and more accommodating venue! It rained and their contingency plans worked perfectly, followed by pictures on their gorgeous hillside grounds once the sun poked through. The venue was a rustic barn theme that we absolutely loved and our guests still talk about that night a year later. It was quite a party! The food was amazing and the staff were super helpful throughout all of the steps that go into planning a wedding. I would absolutely recommend checking them out!

Wow is all I can say . The Salem cross inn was everything I ever imagined my wedding to be . Everything was perfect . The food was amazing . The staff was incredible. Donna and Nancy were there ever step of the way from planning to our special day . The barn was literally breathtaking when everything was setup ❤️It was my dream come true . Me and Dustin couldn’t have picked a more special place to become Mr&Mrs

Place is very nice and the barn is beautiful. Property has so many places to take pictures. Staff is very nice and helpful. If you want an early wedding I would suggest here because you can't go past 9:30pm. Dance floor was good and I would limit your guest count to 150 even though they can fit 200. Things tend to get tight. All and all I recommend the Salem Cross Inn for for people would want that country barn wedding.

Salem Cross Inn was an AMAZING venue for our wedding. Everything about this historical setting was perfection. The detail and attention when booking our special day was just the beginning and continued throughout the months leading up to and extended after our reception. A preferred vendor list was provided by Salem Cross Inn that provided the names for all wedding related services. This was extremely helpful and we hired all from this list. Donna, Nancy and Heather’s expertise, professionalism and attention to detail was a tremendous asset. We could not have done this without them. Our ceremony was on the grounds, which are picture perfect. After the ceremony we remained outside where there were incredible opportunities for pictures with many beautiful backdrops. Our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour and remained close by for picture opportunities with us. Our dinner was in the barn room and was perfect. The room is decorated so beautifully that only a few of my own personalized touches were added. The food was amazing. My husband and I ate every bite! The cake was as beautiful as it was delicious. My cake topper was too heavy and slid off the top. Donna quickly stepped in and repaired the cake by adding flowers to the top and it looked more elegant than if the topper I provided had worked. The staff was attentive and provided top notch service. They were kind and accommodating to all of us throughout the night. Every step of the night was flawless! All of our guests raved about the entire event..and still are. We could not have asked for a more perfect atmosphere to celebrate our wedding. We look forward to celebrating our special occasions together there for many years to come.

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding at Salem Cross Inn. From the moment we stepped onto the venue, we knew that this is where we were going to get married. The grounds were the perfect backdrop for our special day. There is so much natural beauty and history there. The food and drinks were amazing and not your typical run of the mill wedding food. Everything is fresh and homemade and many of our guests said that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Nancy and Donna were great to deal with and made navigating wedding planning in a pandemic stress free. We could not recommend Salem Cross Inn enough and cannot wait to return in the future for dinner.

The Salem Cross Inn was a gorgeous venue for my wedding! My guests were raving about it and I got the most beautiful photos! The food was so delicious and they helped me customize the menu to my liking as I am a super picky eater. The staff were super helpful and I couldn't be happier with having my wedding here!

Salem Cross Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. The team (thank you Donna and Nancy) went above and beyond at every step. I was an unfortunate COVID Bride, and we had to schedule (and reschedule) our wedding three times. Not to worry at Salem Cross Inn. Throughout the pandemic they were communicative and put safety first. They were organized and managed a process the whole world had never experienced (i.e. shutting down) with what appeared to be ease. They helped me feel comfortable and took the strain off any venue-related to do item. My husband and I had the perfect wedding at the perfect spot. It was beautiful and intimate. We had 150 guests who all sat comfortably and partied hard. The food was phenomenal and the atmosphere warm, inviting, and fun. I would give Salem Cross Inn a 100 out of 5 stars if I could!

My Husband and I absolutely LOVED having our Wedding at the Salem Cross Inn. The food is delicious, the grounds are beautiful, and the barn where we had our reception is gorgeous!! We were in love the look and rustic feel. Not to mention the sentimental value it has for me, as my parents were also married here over 30 years ago. Donna and Nancy are fabulous to work with, and the rest of the staff was amazing too. They were on top of everything and made our special day truly perfect.

This venue was absolutely beautiful! My husband and I couldn't have picked a better venue. There scenery outside was breathtaking for the ceremony. The reception was set up perfectly! Donna and Nancy were so helpful through the whole process. They made me feel at ease during every step of the planning. The rest of the staff were amazing and stayed on top of everything. I'm so happy I chose Salem Cross Inn to host my wedding. It was absolutely perfect!!

This venue screams magical romance! My husband and I recently were married here and we could not be anymore satisfied with Nancy and Donna's professionalism, class, and jovial nature. The staff here were all so respectable and the unique nature of this venue had our guests in awe all night long! We highly recommend the Salem Cross Inn.

My Husband and I had an absolutely amazing experience with Salem Cross in for our wedding Venue! The land itself has stunning views making the outdoor gazebo a breath taking option for the ceremony. Luscious green grass and beautiful flowers! The barn is is the perfect cross between rustic and charm with the chandeliers and decor. The team that we worked with Donna and Nancy were both so personable and friendly. I can't say enough. Have your wedding here and you won't regret it!

We had our wedding at Salem Cross Inn and all I can say is wow!!! We are so happy with how our wedding turned out, everyone is so helpful and on top of everything our day was so smooth to the last second. A huge thank you to everyone at Salem Cross for everything!!!! AND THE FOOD IS TO DIE FOR!!!!!!!

We had our wedding at the Salem Cross Inn 10.23.21 and it was everything we could have ever imagined and more. We had to reschedule due to Covid and they were so accommodating and a breeze to work with. Nancy and Donna were incredibly helpful, professional and kind from our very first visit all the way through to the morning after when we came back to pick up the last of our decor. They were there literally every step of the way, even clearing tables the night of because they were short staffed. The entire night was flawless. From the picture perfect barn and grounds, the warm atmosphere, the best wedding food I have ever had (and probably ever will) - all artisan menu items hand crafted in house with locally sourced ingredients - seriously it was a dream. I will recommend them again and again and we plan to visit for dinner annually to celebrate our anniversary. It was worth every single penny we spent, and so worth the wait (thanks to Covid). Thank you so much for everything! I would do it a thousand times over 🖤

10/10 would recommend this venue, not only for a wedding but just for an amazing dinner experience as well! My husband and I got married here and our experience was just wonderful. Nancy and Donna were so amazing and patiently answered all of my questions - even when my nerves set in a few weeks before the big day. They are so professional and so efficient, I knew everything would be taken care of. The dinner was also delicious! Could not recommend a better place. Thank you so much!!

Words cannot express how happy my husband and I are that we had our wedding at Salem Cross Inn. From the moment we connected with the venue, Donna and Nancy have been nothing but professional, supportive, and excited for us. On and before our wedding day they coordinated with all of our vendors, and were so organized! All this is so important for a stress free day and just makes Salem Cross Inn an incredible venue to work with. The inside, outside, the food, the decor, and all of the small details they provide is BEYOND incredible. All of guests were blown away and still ranting about how it was the best venue they have ever been to for a wedding. We chose to do the house salad with their own (amazing) dressing, prime rib, maple jack chicken and their deep dish apple pie and each were such a hit. When I tell you it is the best food we have ever had, I truly mean it. We had our ceremony outside in front of the gazebo, cocktail hour in their tap room and outside, dinner in the barn and then back down stairs to the tap room for dancing. Each location is stunning and just adds special elements to each event of the night. I highly reccomend Salem Cross Inn, you will not be disappointed, and I promise you will have wedding of your dreams

Nancy and Donna at Salem cross we’re so amazing to work with! I ended up having my wedding in the middle of the first hurricane in 3 decades to make landfall in New England and Nancy was right there the whole time making sure everything went as smoothly as it could! The building and wedding space is perfect. It’s such a cozy environment inside and looks gorgeous all set up and put together. The barn, where the reception is held, was the exact environment I was looking for. The food, was out of this world, all of our appetizers were eaten and everyone throughly enjoyed their meals. The flow of the reception was not too fast or slow. The staff was so supportive and there for anything that we needed beforehand or during the day. Everything about the day was perfect! My husband and I would 100% recommend Salem cross to anyone!

We had the most magical wedding day. Everything was perfect!

Salem Cross Inn was an awesome venue to use my husband and I couldn’t be happier. Nancy and Donna helped make all the planning easy by offering lots of advice and recommendations of things we may not have considered otherwise. They made the day go smoothly and seamlessly despite having to move ceremony inside due to rain. They calmed nerves and continued to check in. The food was excellent we had multiple guest tell us how much they enjoyed everything.

We could not be happier with our experience with Salem Cross Inn. Planning a wedding from across the country is stressful and complicated but Nancy and Donna were quick with their communication and made everything as easy as possible and as such the day went incredibly smoothly. The food was excellent and the barn and grounds were simply stunning. Salem Cross Inn graciously accommodated all our requests especially when it came to our complicated food menu. We had 15 guests who were vegan and several of them told me their meal gave them great ideas for home cooking as it was a meal they had not experienced before. We had 90% thunderstorm forecasted for the day so Salem Cross Inn not only set us up for an outdoor ceremony, but also had an indoor space set up and ready to go if we had to move inside at the last second. Thankfully, the weather held and we were able to enjoy the gorgeous flower garden and gazebo. All in all, we are extremely grateful to the Salem Cross Inn staff for creating such an amazing day for us and will hold these memories dear forever.

Salem Cross Inn was the fifth venue my husband and I had checked out. Every venue before this was nice, but it wasn't until we toured Salem Cross Inn that we got butterflies and could truly see ourselves getting married here. I loved the gorgeous barn and incredible scenery, and my husband was obsessed with the true New England antiques that filled the venue. Nancy and Donna were a dream to work with - they helped us each step of the way. If they can navigate the pandemic changes (going from 10 guests to 100 guests with less than a couple months until our wedding date...) they can handle anything that comes their way. The food was incredible, the vendors they recommended didn't let us down - and for someone who hates planning - they made the whole process a breeze. We could not recommend Salem Cross Inn (and Nancy and Donna!) enough!

Getting married at Salem Cross Inn was arguably the best decision my husband and I could have made. Despite the pandemic, Nancy and Donna remained steadfast and provided an experience for us that we will remember for years to come. At first, we did not know if a wedding would be possible, but once it became known they could do weddings once again, everything seemed to fall into place. The entire process was completely stress free and every detail was met for us and our guests to truly have a day to remember. To this day when guests talk to us, they could not stop raving about the guest experience, atmosphere, and food. We are so blessed to have had our wedding at Salem Cross Inn, we would not have wanted our wedding anywhere else!

What a stress free and very accommodating venue Salem Cross Inn is. Donna and Nancy were able to answer all our questions and meet all of our needs while keeping our minds at ease and the safety of our guest in the forefront during a global pandemic. The food is always amazing and the wait staff are the nicest around. We had the ceremony outside at the gazebo with the beautiful fall foliage in the background. Following the ceremony was a wonderful sit down meal in their immaculate 2 floor barn. Our guests gave multiple compliments at how attentive and professional the staff were. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding venue to remember.

Simply incredible. If you're looking for a charming farmhouse venue with gorgeous countryside views, look no further! From the exquisite flowers all over the property to the gardens (where much of the restaurant food is grown, by the way) to the patio area - the grounds are beautifully manicured. Inside, the restaurant and tavern are cozy and inviting and the food deserves a glowing review all on its own. Yes, it's that good. And it keeps getting better: the team at Salem Cross really does make you feel like family. From the moment my husband and I met with Donna, it was easy to see how much love and care Salem Cross puts into the wedding planning process. Donna wanted to hear our story - she wanted to know about our lives, our families, and what we envisioned for our special day. Here's where it got real: The COVID-19 pandemic began about three months before our wedding day and as you can just imagine, hello PANIC. But Donna didn't panic, despite the fact that she probably had to work with many, many other couples to plan for a completely uncertain future. In fact, she helped me stay grounded and reminded me that we were in it together. I can't even keep track of all the phone calls Donna and I exchanged. I can tell you that we started to trade baking recipes though, so that should give you an idea. Salem Cross was so incredibly flexible as we worked our way through the pandemic and the time leading up to our wedding date. I can not imagine a more supportive team of people. When we found out we would be unable to have our wedding as originally planned (roughly 115 guests), Nancy and Donna allowed us to use the grounds for an intimate ceremony of fewer than ten people on our original date, June 6 and were completely accommodating with all other parts of planning. My husband and I just cannot say enough about this wonderful venue. We will continue to recommend Salem Cross to everyone planning a wedding from now until the end of time.

Getting married at Salem cross inn was a dream come true. My guests were beyond happy with the atmosphere, the food, the beautiful rustic feel, and the amazing service from every single staff member at this venue. Nancy salem, her sister and Donna really care about every bride that they work with.. they all just went above and beyond for me and my husband. I could not have asked for a better team to put together our beautiful day.

My husband and I were having a Western (cowboy) themed wedding (line dance instruction and all) in the fall and were seeking a venue with a barn that served excellent food. We were fortunate enough to have stumbled upon The Salem Cross Inn through a friend’s recommendation and once we saw the pictures online and the wedding menus, we knew we had to check out the place. We were particularly excited about their prime rib as an option for our wedding guests as it is roasted in an antique fire pit. From day one, we were highly impressed with Nancy’s organization, efficiency and honesty. She explained all of the options clearly, showed us each part of Salem Cross and what they offered, explained the menus, and gave us a pricing quote based on our expected number of guests (approx. 130 guests). Donna, their gifted baker, was also able to meet our needs for a custom cake (Grand Marnier-laced cake with chocolate ganache). Despite all these custom offerings, when we saw the cost estimate we were shocked….at how affordable it was for such a lovely venue and for all of the choices we had available for our menu. From the time we confirmed our wedding spot, throughout the next 18 months, both Nancy and Donna were very communicative and helpful. Both were attentive to phone calls and emails. Donna even baked us a sample of our cake for us to try (which was so good words could not describe it). We had no surprises at all throughout the process and found both Nancy and Donna exceptionally easy to work with. Nancy suggested many options that helped smooth out the execution of the wedding, especially the day of, which alleviated a lot of the stresses leading up to a wedding (Listen to Nancy – she knows what she’s doing!) The venue had all of the available hookups needed for us to have our ceremony outside with a DJ and videographer, and to have our reception nestled wonderfully inside the rustic barn. The day of, The Salem Cross could not possibly have been more professional and attentive to our and our guests’ needs. We even had a member of their staff dedicated to our wedding in case we needed anything. Our goal was for the food and cake to be the stars of the show, so we put the bulk of our budget to that. The Salem Cross did not disappoint – our guests (and us) raved about how good the food was – appetizers, main meals, and even the bread. Many also raved that our custom wedding cake was the best wedding cake they ever had (many of our friends are foodies, so to hear those kinds of compliments meant a lot to us as that was what we were trying to achieve). Our guests (and we) also raved and how well their staff decorated the barn and tables with the decorations we brought to the venue. To further highlight Nancy’s and Donna’s dedication and professionalism, both came back to check on us during our wedding on a Sunday evening. My husband and I are very particular and picky people. With that in mind, we both firmly believe that our wedding at The Salem Cross Inn was nothing short than perfect. We talked about our wedding for weeks afterwards, still marveling at how humbling the entire event was. We will still be talking about it for years to come. The Salem Cross was the backbone for this unforgettable experience. We cannot thank them enough for the experience they helped us create, and for the memories that will last a lifetime.

Salem Cross made our dream wedding come true! From the excellent service provided by the friendly staff, to the food, everything was absolutely wonderful. Nancy and Donna were great to work with and always responded promptly to any questions we had. If you're looking for an affordable yet elegant rustic style wedding with dynamite food, look no further than Salem Cross!

Salem Cross Inn was the most beautiful venue for our rustic wedding. Nancy and Donna were really easy to work with and had so much structure it ensured nothing would go wrong at the ceremony and reception. The actual venue is so unique, our guests raved about how beautiful the outdoor ceremony space was as well as the reception area in the barn. With the exposed wood beams and the draping lights, it was the most magical place. Down to every detail, the rustic theme was perfect. All that being said, the food was the most amazing part. I can’t tell you how many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever had- the prime rib was amazing, huge portions and perfectly cooked. Our favorite part was how we were allowed to put on cute aprons and serve the apple pie dessert to our guests in the place of a receiving line. The whole wedding was so unique and special to us and Donna and a Nancy made sure everything went perfectly.

Everything about Salem Cross Inn made for an amazing wedding! The staff was attentive, professional, and helpful. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the food was delicious. We have had so many complients on our wedding becauase of how great the food was and how beautiful and fun the atmosphere was. We recommed this venue to all couples looking for an amazing value and experience for their wedding!

We already knew Salem Cross Inn was incredible before getting married, but it was even better than we thought! All our family and guests said we couldn't have picked a better location. Everything for the ceremony and reception were set up so perfectly. All the staff at Salem Cross are wonderful and fiendly. Most of all, we are so thankful for the food. Let us assure you, anything Salem Cross cooks will be DELOCIOUS! Our day was perfect because of this magical place and we can't wait to come back to celebrate in the future!

From the moment we toured Salem Cross Inn we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Not only were the grounds rustic and gorgeous the historic and timeless restaurant and barn reception area were perfect. We could not have picked a better place to get married. Nancy and Donna walked us through every detail and put our worries to rest even with an out of the blue nor'easter that landed on our wedding day. We are still telling friends and acquaintances that they should have their weddings at salem cross. If you pick them as your venue choice you will not be disappointed. we highly recommend them! The Chapdelaines ❤

My husband and I got married at the Salem Cross Inn this past Sunday. Donna was the coordinator we worked with directly. We had a very small wedding (25 guests) and had the ceremony and lunch here. Donna was great, very accommodating and the grounds are beautiful if you are looking for that rustic farm feel. The site sits in front of rolling hills that are the perfect backdrop for pictures. There were hay bales and cows as well. Donna was able to help me put together the perfect small, intimate wedding and was able to accommodate just about everything we needed! Food was delicious! 23 out of the 25 guests ordered the prime rib that was mouthwatering and delicious! It was cooked perfectly and came with mashed potatoes and butternut squash. I highly recommend going through Donna at the Salem Cross Inn whether you are having a small intimate wedding or a large wedding!

My Husband and I were married at the Salem Cross last October and would recommend it to any couple looking for rustic charm at an affordable price point. The landscape is beautiful and the property stays true to its colonial heritage, maintaining charming candelabras, original woodwork and a collection of quirky odds and ends from the time period. There is no way on earth your guests will leave hungry because the food is plentiful and served throughout the event. A big fan favorite was the roast beef which is cooked over a spit in the downstairs fireplace during cocktail hour. Guest remarked on how unique and interactive the cooking experience was. Everyone I spoke to mentioned how much they enjoyed the food. Another major selling point is the caring staff. Donna, our wedding coordinator was great to work with. She made us feel welcome and supported. Salem Cross is a family business and you can tell! The staff take pride in their work and make sure you leave happy. They also provide each couple with a list of vendor recommendations for music, flowers, transportation etc. This was a huge help to me, as I was not familiar with the area and needed some direction for organizing the big day.

We are extremely pleased with our wedding. The day of the wedding was stress free for us. Our guests had a blast. The food was delicious with multiple helpings of the Roast. I think the wedding party polished off all the pesto meatballs ourselves. We would recommend Salem Cross in a second. Before writing this review we read some of the other reviews and can see many of the same points. We would recommend sitting down early with Nancy or Donna before you have anything else planned. They have a list of vendors and recommend some off the list. We used the violinist. We also used the Florist Barry from their list, who was absolutely amazing and worked to our budget. Many of the flowers came from their own grounds. We were nervous at first using the vendor list but were extremely pleased with them. This is an extremely nice place and we can see why so many people try to have their wedding there. We are understanding of the time frame constraints mentioned in some of the other reviews as we wouldn't want to or want anyone's wedding to interfere with ours. That being said, we felt the entire staff's attention was dedicated to our wedding while we were there. Any requests we had were addressed immediately. Any questions we had during the planning phase, that were answered in a way we were a little bit concerned about actually worked out perfect and Nancy's recommendation was spot on. We have nothing but good things to say about our wedding at the Salem Cross Inn. We would definitely recommend them. Also be open minded about the Vendor list, it worked out great of us. Also the Wedding "cupcake" idea was perfect.

Where do we even BEGIN. Oh my goodness. My husband and I had an absolute DREAM wedding. It was even better than our imagination could take us. All of our guests where blown away by the beauty of the venue and how delicious the food was and the GORGEOUS gorgeous flowers (we hired Barry, the recommended florist). I seriously had in my mind that we would have a super simple, bare-bones wedding and had adjusted my expectations because we were paying for the wedding ourselves. I have extremely high health expenses so our budget was limited. When I walked down the aisle and walked into the venue for the first time my jaw hit the floor. We saw the venue during the tour and we saw pictures of prior weddings. Let me tell you - NONE of that does this place any justice. In terms of planning, everything went pretty smoothly. Every single one of our vendors was incredible. I mean - worship the ground they walk on - incredible. We need to talk about Barry for a second. Both my husband and I are obsessed with him - my husband probably even more so and he's a guy's guy, motorcycle-riding, a bit rough around the edges kind of guy. My husband was like "we NEED to have more flowers" to which I rolled my eyes and said okay (he can be a bit "extra"). Oh my goodness - that was the best decision EVER. Barry is a one of a kind. I've been to many weddings and our wedding flowers were HANDS DOWN NO CONTEST the BEST flowers I've seen in my whole entire life. And he is BEYOND reasonable. If I could just hire him for every single event for the rest of my life I would. The food was and is SO FREAKING GOOD. We had the Prime Rib and Maple Jack Chicken. Everyone - and I really mean almost everyone - was eating off of each others plates just because they wanted to try every dish Salem Cross made. The charm of this place right down to the antique dishes and silverware is astonishing. Nancy and Donna are super organized and definitely have it together. My questions were unorganized and we had family members trying to change some things and they didn't even bat an eye. We felt like we were in good hands the whole entire time. It's such a cliche but our wedding really was the best day of our lives, to have all of our family and friends together in such a beautiful place. You will not regret having your wedding at Salem Cross <3

Thank you to all at Salem Cross inn for making my wedding day beyond perfect. Everything was well organized, the food was excellent, and the wait staff professional. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

My wife and I got married at The Salem Cross Inn on May 4th of this year. We could not be any happier with our experience at The Salem Cross Inn for our special day. The wedding coordinators and waitstaff did a phenomenal job at making sure that everything was taken care of for us and for our guests and they made sure that everything went as planned. We were also very happy with the total cost (we had about 60 guests) and we were able to stay within our budget. Thank you very much to Nancy, Donna and the entire staff at The Salem Cross Inn for making our special day was even that more special!
