About this vendor
Our elegant venue has a modern feel and look, an amazing river view and a touch of rustic charm of the countryside. We specialize in intimate weddings from 25-75 guests (max. capacity 100).

Beautiful venue but buyer beware after they have your deposit. We held our Son's wedding here and once they signed the contract there were at least 14 items on the inclusive package to be determined. We did not get to see the contract before our Son was pressured to sign the contract or lose the venue for a Sunday/Mother's Day (not a highly booked day) evening wedding.
Things that we and my Son were thought to be included like picking up the cake from a local, recommended bakery as a courtesy wound up being an extra charge, champagne flutes, chairs for the outside ceremony, chair covers inside chairs were extra cost to name a few.
Had to use their preferred florist, caters, DJ etc. The included FLORAL centerpiece was greens and a lantern no flowers.
Darien the Salem River Inn's wedding planner and the venue owners did not communicate well with each other and we had to repeat instructions often i.e. the flowers were suppose to be left on the arbor for sunset pictures, Yvonne brought them into the hall and hung on rail before that. More importantly, Darien took personal information from the Bride's hand about our guest/MC and then proceeded to send him a contract telling him he had to pay the venue a percentage of what he made ($0 it was a gift to the Bride & Groom)because he was using his own professional equipment.
We are also still waiting to hear from the bakery as promised by Yvonne, Jim & Darien because the cake was not done correctly.
So, be prepared to pay a lot more then you contracted for, they will nickle and dime you to death.
We are so happy that we chose the Salem River Inn for our wedding! It was a pleasure to work with Yvonne, who was so friendly, thoughtful, and organized and always patiently answered all our questions. This venue was just what we were looking for. It was a great size for our small wedding (about 40 guests), with an extremely helpful inclusive package and wonderful views of the river and surrounding natural areas. We opted for a late morning ceremony and a short, midday reception, and the Inn was more than happy to accommodate our plans despite hosting an evening wedding the day before. We felt like Yvonne went above and beyond to help us on our special day. She did a wonderful job playing our ceremony tracks for us, helping us to stay on schedule, and making sure that we remembered to eat. She and her team were so professional and efficient and were able to seamlessly transition from an indoor ceremony to an indoor reception, although we were also having our photos taken inside at the same time. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend the Salem River Inn!
My wife and I were extremely happy and satisfied with our experiences at the Salem River Inn. Our wedding included a full vegan (and mostly gluten-free) menu, that all our guests (not just the vegans) raved about. Being locals it was important to both of us to have our special day at a place that was both near to our home and shared it's natural beauty. Salem River Inn, with it's natural meadows and sweeping view of the River fit that niche perfectly. The owners and staff were so friendly and helpful and it was refreshing to be dealing with owners who are so obviously proud of and in love with their place. Much gratitude to Yvonne, Jim, and staff for making our wedding day fantastic!
I recently had my wedding at Salem River Inn and it was the most perfect night. When I initially toured the venue I was taken back by the view when entering the venue. Yvonne was great with communication and helping the day run smoothly. Caroline was also amazing, especially with making sure my husband and I got to enjoy the food and drinks. It is such a beautiful venue, I loved how our guests enjoyed the entire property. I also spent the night in one of the rooms and it was so nice being on site and able to just reminisce about the day. It was the perfect backdrop for so many photos and would recommend to anyone.
My husband and I had our wedding at the Inn. We couldn’t have been happier with our special day. The owners Jim and Yvonne were very accommodating. The wedding coordinator Caroline made our wedding go off without a hitch. The wedding venue was especially gorgeous during the sunset. I would recommend having your wedding here if you want a small and intimate day with special, unique touches.
Beautiful venue. Private and intimate setting. No other weddings and no other people coming on and off grounds. We got married under their tree and started our ceremony and took pictures in their garden area then moved the party to their deck where our guests enjoyed the beautiful sunset while we took more pictures. Yvonne the owner is fantastic at working with you and getting you organized before the big day. Be sure to hire Caroline as your wedding planner because she helped us find vendors and set up our ceremony and the venue better than how I envisioned it. Highly recommended!!
One star was for the view. We went with an all inclusive wedding package. After a taste test we wanted a different caterer from the preferred list which was an option to do. However they changed the contract to without catering, jacked up the price, told we weren’t entitled to a taste test. They started sending new contracts giving less than 24 hours to accept it or it null invoid. We were told men should negotiate the contract. Any email asking questions was met with absolute demeaning, disrespectful answers. The contract is a one sided contract my suggestion is to either hire a lawyer before signing or run from these people. The deposit is $250. They refuse to give back the money they owe us less the deposit for no services rendered. We didn’t have the wedding there. We gave them ample notice they decided to continue to insult us. I don’t know these people but they are rude and lack professionalism and people skills. They act like it’s their wedding and not yours. If you don’t like something they start ala carting, changing the contract and insulting you. I would never ever recommend them.
The Inn was simply WONDERFUL, our wedding went so smoothly and beautifully you would have never even guessed it happened in the year 2020. Yvonne and her husband Jim are so kind and accommodating and Caroline was such a huge help with setting everything up on the day of. Not to mention our amazing morning after breakfast. Absolutely no regrets in our venue choice. 10/10 would get married here again.
A friend of mine stumbled upon information about the Inn on-line and shared it with me. I will be forever grateful to her for doing that, as we could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our intimate wedding. Yvonne was amazing from beginning to end and calmed my 'nerves', walking us step by step through the process as many times as I needed. Her warmth and kindness is reflected in the venue itself and we had the perfect day! No detail was too much and she and her assistant Caroline made the wedding day run flawlessly. We wish we could re-live the entire day all over again!
Beautiful venue
Yvonne made our wedding celebration so wonderful - this is absolutely where you want to have your wedding.
- Our communication over email was so easy - Yvonne is so communicative and easy to work with. She provided suggestions when we were unsure about things and let us go with our own direction on every single aspect of the day.
- We met in person several times at the Inn and went over details - this was so helpful and removed so much stress every time we did
- During the event, Yvonne made sure everything went super smoothly (moving bluetooth speakers, checking in with me to make sure all was ok, letting guests know to move outside for the ceremony, etc.)
- There was never a time when I felt pushed to buy anything extra or pressured for an upsell. She truly just wants your day to go well and offers so much to make that happen.
- The recommended vendors are excellent.
All our guests were commenting about how nice the venue was and asking how we found it. You can't go wrong with The Inn.
We had such a great time at our wedding with The Inn at Salem Country Club. They were very helpful with every little detail from the tables to how the tree and hedges were cut so I could walk through them. She kept me well informed about everything that was going on. I heard back from them within a timely manner as well. I can not thank them enough for making my wedding day amazing!
This was the perfect venue for my wedding. The space is just beautiful, and Yvonne helped to make a very stressful time much easier on me. Our ceremony was supposed to be outside in front of the water, but it rained all day. Our plan-b indoor ceremony was just as beautiful and everything ended up wonderful. If I had to plan my wedding over again, I would 100% choose The Inn!
We are so thankful to have found this hidden gem. Yvonne and her husband Jim made sure everything was just right and always made sure we were happy. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about The Inn. I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Thank you Yvonne and Jim ❤️.
If I had picked any other venue my wedding would not have been perfect. Yvonne was amazing! She is such a pleasant & professional woman. The place and the views are gorgeous. We mostly communicated via email, which was my preference, and Yvonne always answered quickly and just as fast as plans were changing she was right on top of it assuring me it would all be okay and she could accommodate whatever i needed. Yvonne helped get all the last second kinks out the day of the wedding and everything was perfect when I made my entrance. We chose to stay our first night there and woke to coffee and a home cooked breakfast. Yvonne's quiche is delicious! From I do inside of the beautiful hall, to pictures on the beach at sunset, to waking up to the views of the river, it was amazing. My wedding day was everything I wanted and so much thanks to Yvonne for helping me all with it and for how beautifully she has restored The Inn at the Salem County Club. I highly recommend this place!
This place is beautiful beyond words. Yvonne and her husband are such lovely people! They will go above and beyond what you need to make your day as special as it deserves to be!
Just had my dream wedding at the Inn at Salem Country Club this past weekend. Yvonne and Jim are truly a dream to work with. Everywhere you turn at the venue there are beautiful views, from the contemporary open and airy feel of the venue building, the quiet secluded feel of the beach, to the multiple picture opportunities in the meadow The Inn will not disappoint. Through the whole process the staff were accessible, helpful, encouraging, and seemed just as excited to see my wedding vision come to fruition as I was. We had a couple of hiccups with outside vendors and the staff at the Inn were there ready to help and assist with solutions! I felt so relaxed the whole time and can not talk enough about how fantastic an experience it was to have such an important moment at the Inn. Not to mention that after our fantastic wedding night we woke up to a beautiful blue sky and views of the river in the River B&B room. The owner of the venue personally made a delicious and relaxed breakfast served on the porch. We felt catered to and relaxed through all aspects of the weekend. I cannot recommend this venue enough. If you enjoy a place that combines the beauty of the southern NJ shores with a beautiful and unique venue, The Inn at Salem Country club is for you!
The Inn at Salem Country Club is an absolutely amazing venue!! We just had my best friend's bridal shower there and it was beautiful. Everything is beautiful including the gorgeous deck with perfect views of the river. The owners go above and beyond to make your event special. I would recommend the Inn to anyone looking for that perfect place for their shower or wedding!
Had a wonderful experience at this venue. The location was ideal especially for the beautiful day we had. It's located along the river and has a beautiful deck overlooking the views. The whole venue was recently renovated and I was fortunate enough to have their first event. The inside is beautiful with wood ceiling and a modern touch. It also has a bridal suite that is beautiful as well. It's a unique location and venue and would make any event stand out!
