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.

I recently had my wedding at Salem Cross Inn and it was literally the most perfect day! Donna and Nancy were so helpful, nice, and accommodating! The ceremony was held outside at the gazebo and reception was held inside, both inside and out of the property is absolutely beautiful! All of our guests had so much fun and the food was amazing! I could not have asked for a more perfect day and I can’t thank and recommend Salem Cross Inn enough!!!

My husband and I were married at Salem’s this weekend and I wouldn’t change a thing about the day or the entire planning process! Honestly, I didn’t know anything about planning a wedding but Donna and Martha took care of everything I needed and even the things I didn’t know I needed. Through out planning communication was clear and timely. Donna answered all my questions and accommodated any changes (even last minute) without batting an eye. Salems has great relationships with local venders and their ability to collaborate made it all the more seamless. On the day of my family and I chose to get ready at Salem’s; we had a comfy suite and they served us a delicious sit down lunch with salads and mimosas in a private dining space. When a couple of little girls showed up as a surprise the kitchen staff even made them their own macaroni and cheese plates! The ceremony space and overall landscaping was perfect with flowers and fresh cut grass. Our guests loved taking photos on the beautiful grounds and our professional photos look like they are straight out of a fairy tale. At the reception everyone raved about the delicious prime rib dinner and strawberry short cake. The serving staff and bartenders were fun, personable, professional, attentive and really seemed invested in making my family’s day perfect. If I could do my wedding day again I would absolutely choose this venue.

I can’t thank all the folks at Salem Cross Inn enough! Special thanks to Nancy, Donna and Martha for all they did! You all helped us plan and execute the most amazing wedding! Everything about it was perfect from the ceremony space, cocktail hour, reception area, food & drinks! Thanks so much for making it the best day of our lives!

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.

My husband Anthony and I worked closely with Donna over the last two years to plan our wedding. She was always so responsive, and easy to work with. An email would always be answered almost immediately, or followed up with a phone call to clarify a question. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous, and we got the perfect fall wedding we dreamed about. Could not have been happier with the quality and taste of the wedding reception food as well; the English cut sirloin was especially delicious, as were the mini mozzarella sticks and the pesto meatballs from the passed appetizers. The staff were incredibly friendly, with Martha and Haley both being fabulous point people on the day of. Thank you a million times over, Salem Cross Inn, and we can’t wait to see you next year for our anniversary!!!

We were married 39 years ago on the grounds of the Salem Cross Inn, West Brookfield, MA It was run by the Salem family and still is operated by Nancy Salem. She did a great job for us. We were treated like family! Every accommodation we requested was handled! Including a room for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in before the ceremony. A fall wedding here is just what we wanted! The beautiful scenery only added to the atmosphere of an old New England inn. The food was oh so good! They even took extra steps to make everything served a little more special. I remember choosing the baked potato and butternut squash to accompany the fireside roasted prime rib. They offered, notice I didn’t have to ask, to make the potatoes skins seasoned and the butternut squash more spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Everything was delicious and the wedding party was offered more of any of the meal items they wanted. No one left hungry! The morning of our wedding was a cold one, unusually so for early October. We were married outside under a huge oak tree, they now have a gazebo for ceremonies with the rolling hills in the background. Our elderly family members needed to stay warm, but still see the ceremony so Nancy made them comfortable at the window just inside. It was a magical day, and last night we had dinner there to celebrate our anniversary. We saw Nancy who is still making her guests happy with attention to detail! The wedding happening there last night sounded like a great time! Don’t hesitate to check this venue out for your special day!

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!

Donna and Nancy were so helpful throughout the wedding planning process. My Wedding day was nothing but Spectacular. If you are looking for the perfect barn wedding...look no further!!

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!

We had the wedding of our dreams this past May. Salem Cross Inn was perfect for us. It is truly a unique and beautiful place. We easily stayed within our budget and all the planning went smoothly with Donna and Nancy. They were a pleasure to work with, always helpful and communication was easy. They also provided a list of vendors which was very helpful. (From their list we used Green Thumb Florist, Paula- ceremony coordinator, & McCarthy Bus). From start to finish everything was fantastic. We held our rehearsal dinner there the night before. We used the beautiful bridal room with my mom and bridesmaids before the wedding to relax and enjoy a cheese plate and champagne. The ceremony outside at the gazebo was perfect. There was an electrical outlet available for our pianist during the ceremony. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the patio and we were able to use our own speaker and playlist. The reception in the barn was an amazing evening. My decorations were very minimal, just some wildflowers in small vases on the tables. It doesn't need much, it's already beautiful in there with the strung lights and antique decor. Food was great. We wanted cupcakes instead of a cake and they were delicious! The barn had ample space for our 8 piece band. We have so many amazing photos especially of the beautiful backdrop outside and the rolling hills. I still have guests complimenting on how much they loved Salem Cross and everyone had a wonderful time. The experience felt intimate and special, which was very important to us. I also want to mention Martha, our host for the evening, she was warm and welcoming to all our guests. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone- you can be sure every detail of your wedding will be wonderful!

We got married at the Salem Cross Inn on June 9, 2019 and it turned out to be the perfect wedding venue and day. We are "foodies", so we were determined to find a venue that could offer superb appetizers and dinner options, a romantic and interesting setting, and professional staff. We found all of that, and more, at the Salem Cross Inn. A month has gone by and our guests are still talking about our "PERFECT" wedding (their words!). In fact, several guests are now making plans to host family gatherings at the Inn. We got married outside in front of the gazebo, and then invited our guests to go inside the lower level of the barn to watch the prime rib roasting in the fireplace while they enjoyed delicious appetizers and drinks from an open bar. We also gave our guests the option to go on a fun hayride around the beautiful green rolling hills of the property and gardens. Our dinner options included the fireside prime rib, maple jack chicken, and honey dijon salmon. Everyone agreed that all three options were absolutely delicious and we saw lots of our guests sharing tastes of each dish. Rob Adams was the mastermind behind the music. He played acoustic guitar and sang two lovely duets with my cousin during the ceremony. The wonderful music from his 4-person band inspired everyone to dance for hours. Flowers were artfully arranged by Ladyslipper Designs. Natalie's beautiful floral creations adorned the gazebo, guests' chairs, haywagon, and were abundant in the dining room. Paula Roberts was our expert wedding organizer and her vast experience ensured a smooth running ceremony and happy guests. Piper Jo Nevins, our fabulous photographer, and her assistant Pat, kept everyone well organized for photos and her artistic eye found beautiful backdrops all over the Salem Cross Inn property. Finally, we would like to thank Nancy and Donna, who took the time to go through all the details and make wise recommendations on all the food options. Many thanks also to the entire staff at the Salem Cross Inn who are true professionals and were eager to ensure that everything was exactly the way we had imagined it to be for our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend the Salem Cross Inn!

My husband and I were married here in November 2018 and it was truly our dream wedding! My bridesmaids, flower girl, mother, mother-in-law, aunt, grandmother, and I all got dressed and had our hair and make up done upstairs in the bridal suite, and my husband and his groomsmen and our dads had another room upstairs where they could get dressed. It was big enough to accommodate getting ready, having lunch, and shooting our first look photos, and the space was beautifully decorated for Christmas, which we loved. We both loved the historic New England feel of the space, it's beautiful and cozy all on its own. We planned an indoor wedding in front of the fireplace, which we requested be lit, and Donna and Nancy accommodated our wishes. It felt so intimate and warm with the glow of the fire, even with 150 guests. They recommended Paula Roberts to coordinate the ceremony, and we hired her last minute - thank God! She did an amazing job and helped organize the last minute chaos that inevitably arises during rehearsal and getting everyone in place. She even stopped me right before I walked down the aisle to make sure my train and veil were perfect. Martha was there to coordinate the reception and did an amazing job making sure all of our vendors were in communication and the night flowed smoothly. We chose the apple pie for dessert and my husband and I were able to scoop the whipped cream for our guests - a memorable touch and a great way to see all of our guests! We've gotten so many compliments on that. Martha advised a few changes to our schedule when we were running a bit behind, and it helped keep the energy going through dinner and dancing. The whole day and night were truly magical, and we can't wait to go back and relive the memories we made there in the coming years! Thank you to the entire Salem Cross Inn staff!

Our wedding at the Salem Cross Inn was perfect. The venue is stunning- beautiful grounds and the barn is perfectly decorated. All we needed to bring were ceremony and table decorations. The food is amazing we had the rustic chicken and honey Dijon salmon. Donna and Nancy were very helpful throughout the whole planning process. We had such a great experience.

If you are looking for a venue that has amazing food, great service and is beyond beautiful then you've found it! This venue has so many options for locations - we had our ceremony outside in front of the gazebo, cocktail hour in the tap room and our reception in the barn! Every location was gorgeous thanks to Barry who did our flowers and helped set up our decorations - he beyond exceeded our expectations! The food was phenomenal, definitely get the fire roasted rib - our guests are still talking about it! Nancy, Donna, Martha and everyone else were so helpful - between answering my many questions to coordinating a horse drawn carriage for the ceremony to ensuring my guests were having a great time. I would recommend any bride check this place out!

Salem cross inn did an awesome job with pretty much every single thing! They helped us to set up all our wedding things (which was a lot) on the day of the wedding! They also had a lot of helpful information and knew plenty of photographers, dis, florists, justice of the peace and wedding planners, they were very accommodating while scheduling appointments with us and let us have our rehearsal there as well! They did an amazing job with the food and desserts and offered our guests seconds. The bridal room was the perfect space to get ready in and the staff was helpful and kind. The only complaints I have are that the bridal room was not clean and ready at the time that they put in our contact and we were not let into the building at the time started in our contact. They did though, let us keep our things in the main office until the next day when we could come pick them up and they also allowed me to keep my dog who was in my wedding in the office while my reception was happening. Overall, I would recommend them to any friends or family looking for a wedding venue.

AMAZING! We had such a wonderful experience at Salem Cross. The venue is beautiful and the views are gorgeous. We can't thank Nancy and Donna enough for catering to our every need and answering all of our questions to make our wedding day easy going and PERFECT! also, being the bride they say you don't get to enjoy your meal...well, I enjoyed every last bite! the food is fabulous! We had our reception in the Barn and our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful it was... highly recommended to anyone getting married! the rustic and antique feel is just so lovely :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Salem Cross Inn was a fantastic wedding venue! Donna and Nancy were great to work with -- very kind and accommodating. I would highly recommend.

It was a dream come true for our son and now daughter in law. They were married at Salem Cross Inn on August 17, 2018. I want to thank Nancy for helping in every way that day. The whole day was wonderful and we were told how much fun it was. Thank you for staying to help with the wedding party.The food was wonderful and the barn looked fantastic. You staff were great with the guests and if there was anything that we needed they were there with it. Thank you for everything. Thanks Again

I wish I could relive my wedding at Salem Cross over and over again. From planning all the fine details to the day itself Donna was amazing to work with, and helped to ensure the day went perfectly. The Salem Cross Inn really knows what they’re doing, and it shows! Everything went so smoothly, the food was AMAZING, the wait staff and bartenders were excellent. Everyone who attended the wedding was raving about the venue, the food, and the grounds. It is a beautiful place for a wedding, the food is amazing, the price is right, and the staff goes above and beyond. If you’re thinking about having your wedding at the Salem Cross Inn, just do it, you will not regret it!

Salem Cross Inn in West Brookfield, MA was (nearly) a one-stop-shop for us. The scenery outside provided a picture-perfect background for our guests and our photographs. The decor inside the barn didn't call for anything "extra" on our part (which was great since we planned our wedding from start to finish in less than 3 weeks!). The food was amazing... AMAZING! Donna was wonderful to work with and helped us pull our last minute wedding off without a hitch. I would HIGHLY recommend the Salem Cross Inn to any bride-to-be!

Last month we had our wedding at the Salem Cross Inn and it was a absolute fairy tale. Everything about the Salem Cross was amazing. Their outside gazebo is absolutely gorgeous and although it was pouring and we had to move our ceremony to the basement it was still absolutely breath taking. The barn was gorgeous and the perfect size for 150+ guests to enjoy themselves. They food was OUTSTANDING, along with the cake as well. The bartenders were awesome and kept up with out very thirsty guests. Of course all this could have not happened without the help of the amazing Donna and Nancy. Every question we asked they answered. We are so extremely happy that we chose The Salem Cross Inn for our wedding.

A big Thank You to Donna and Nancy for everything you did to make Luke and Lori’s day so perfect. I think that sometimes people don’t realize how fortunate we are to have such a wonderful venue in our backyard. So unique and beautiful and service was excellent.

Salem Cross was the perfect place or our wedding. They had everything we were looking for - the rustic feel, great landscaping, delicious food, and good location. All of our guest complimented on the beautiful venue and my husband and I couldn’t have been any happier on our wedding day. Nancy and Donna were a pleasure to work with and we greatly appreciate everything they did.

I don’t even know where to begin with this review!!!! Our wedding day on Friday was beyond everything we hoped it would be and Donna and Nancy helped make it amazing!!! As a bride you worry how the flow of the day would go and how the set up would turn out well it was stunning and amazing, my decor was beautifully displayed because of them...they made my day seamless in every way!! They were so personable and caring and I miss working with them already and it’s Only been 2 days lol...my sister in law had her wedding there 23 years ago needless to say this venue is sentimental:) The venue itself has so much charm and had so much rustic elegance I just love....We were nervous about the weather the start of the day but with many prays it held out and couldn’t of been more perfect!!! If you haven’t found a venue yet I highly, undoubtedly recommend Salem Cross Inn, you won’t regret it, we sure don’t:-)

Salem Cross made my wedding everything I had imagined. From the beautiful views and the rustic barn to the helpful and friendly staff. Donna and Nancy specially made the whole experience very enjoyable. I am beyond happy with the whole experience. The venue also helped created absolutely stunning pictures. The food was incredible. My absolute Fav has to be the carrot cake. We are so happy that we have a place we can now go and celebrate our anniversary at they hold such an amazing memory for us.

The venue itself is picturesque and unique. We knew at our first visit that we found the right place. Our guests really enjoyed it, and many told us throughout the day how beautiful everything was. We already love the few teaser photos we received back from our photographer, because the landscape is so spectacular. Nancy and Donna were really helpful in our wedding planning and preparation. Nancy has a very practical approach to things, that we really appreciated. She made suggestions and asked great questions to help in our decision making process. She never pushed anything we didn’t want or need on us and always respected our choices. We both recommend this venue and are so happy we chose it for our wedding day.

An amazing and outstanding venue!  Donna, Nancy, and the entire staff  were super organized and made the wedding go flawlessly!  Our guests commented to us how fantastic the food and whole experience was.  Many told us this was the best wedding they ever went to.  Not to mention, Donna's cake was to die for!  This place is the best ... you won't be dissappointed!

We Got Married at the Salem Cross Inn on June 30th 2018. It Was The Perfect Day. Donna and Nancy Are so Kindhearted and where extreamly professional and helpful from day one. The Food Was amazing! We Had Fireplace Roasted Prime Rib and The Maple Jack Chicken. Everyone was Raving about the food during the reception. Donna & Nancy also recommended a great DJ and the perfect justice of the peace/wedding coordinator so everything went so smooth and stressfree. I Will recommend the Salem Cross Inn to everyone looking for perfect wedding venue. It Was Very affordable! (& this is coming from a women with 5 kids under the age of 10 that just came off Unpaid Maternity leave) We also use the Salem Cross Inn for rehearsal dinner where we had hands-down the best chicken Pot pie. So delicious! I also chose to have them make my wedding cake which was a chocolate mousse cake let's just say the top tier of the cake didn't make it to the freezer straight to my belly it went! A chocolate lovers dream cake! I cannot say enough good things about this venue, the staff , how my wedding turned out or the great Experience I've had.

Our wedding at Salem Cross Inn was perfection. The meadow and barn are gorgeous. We had so many comments from our guests on the beautiful space. The service was impeccable, and the food (especially the baked honey dijon salmon) was so tasty. We can't say enough great things about Salem Cross. Nancy and her staff went above and beyond. They're very organized, no-nonsense kind of folks - we were in very good hands. We also liked that we felt we got great value from the venue, and Salem Cross did not nickel and dime us. They don't receive referral fees for recommending vendors; instead, they simply recommend who they've liked working there in the past. Their recommendations worked out perfectly for us. We didn't have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day, and highly recommend Salem Cross for an authentic, rustic barn wedding experience. We worked with Barry for our flowers. Barry was also incredible, and we highly, highly recommend using him as your florist. Barry brought our vision to life. He was extremely organized and had everything prepared day of when we arrived. He even went above what we requested... since he had extra eucalyptus and other flowers, he added other flower decor to other parts of the room which were wonderful and perfectly in line with our taste. Barry also priced his services very competitively.

Our wedding at Salem Cross could not have been more magical!! From the moment we arrived for our first visit we knew this was our place. We truly had the best day and night of our lives. Donna was amazing to work with and we are so grateful to her for all she did to help make our day what it was. The food was outstanding, the cupcakes were even better than we when we tried them for our food tasting. The fact that we didn't need to worry about bringing centerpieces or additional decorations set our minds (and budget) at ease because it could not have been more beautifully decorated. Donna and Nancy recommended Paula for our ceremony coordinator and Barry for our flowers, and they were invaluable to us. If you get married here, you can trust that no one will handle your flowers more beautifully than Barry! We are still hearing from our friends and family how amazing the food and atmosphere is and we&#x
