Sara's Inn

storical details. It's the perfect venue for smaller weddings. Alexandra was always super helpful and willing to work with us. If you're looking for a quaint wedding venue, I highly recommend this one.

a’s Inn. She was very accommodating and was planning to make our dreams a reality. COVID hit so we rescheduled. Due to it being an international wedding, we had to cancel fully due to the travel bans and countries refusing to let international travel occur (100% due to COVID). We tried to work with the owner to get some sort of the deposit back (since we’d paid way over the original 25%). Instead of trying to compromise or work with us in any capacity, he just told us “sounds like a personal reason so no.” I’m very disappointed that the owner was unprofessional and unwilling to work with us. I guess we will figure something out for the full weekend that’s already paid...

When we went to tour, we found that not only is it a beautiful place in which some of our guests could stay the night, but the packages offered took a lot of work off of my planning plate. We opted for a package with the space, catering, and bartender service for our wedding of an expected 80 people. Once the pandemic hit, our guest count went down to just under 60 including ourselves. Sara's unfortunately did lose their caterer in the course of the ongoing pandemic, but Alexandra, our venue contact, was quick to let us know and offer to find a replacement caterer that met our needs (The Posh Affair Events and Catering). Alexandra went out of her way to make sure that we found a caterer we liked and still handled it all so I wouldn't have to find someone on my own and coordinate it on top of everything else. Needless to say, everyone raved about the food. Alexandra seemed to also be well-known in the vendor community. She referred our florist when we weren't having a lot of luck finding one on our own, and she knew our make-up and hair team as well, which really felt good. As our wedding day approached, she spent a lot of time with me on the phone to answer any last minute questions I had and make sure the table settings were what we were looking for. Then finally, our day was here. We got married at a church about 3 miles from the venue. After the ceremony, our guests began to arrive while we took photos with our photographer. I honestly had no idea what was going on inside as people arrived, but I trusted Alex to make sure everyone was comfortable and had a drink in their hands. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better partner at the reception venue. I can't imagine what it would have been like if Alex wasn't there to keep our vendors in line and handle the catering. Our vendors that were unfamiliar with the venue kept making comments that Sara's is such a beautiful venue, and they expect to see their business pick up in the future. Our reception was like a dream and we didn't ever want to leave. We ended up paying a little bit more to the venue to go past our scheduled end time, which Alex graciously allowed. My husband and I stayed the night in the beautiful Rooftop Suite and opened cards and gifts in the privacy of our rooftop balcony before turning in for the night. It was so romantic. Many members of our family ended up booking rooms and we all woke up to the most beautiful smell of breakfast being prepared. We went downstairs, ate an amazing breakfast (delicious quiche), had some coffee, and said our goodbyes before packing up. Seriously, what an amazing experience. I wouldn't trade it for the world, and Sara's Inn and Alex MADE IT HAPPEN! THANK YOU!

unicated. First of all, the staff event coordinator I worked with was absent on the day of the wedding and left another person in charge of the responsibilities assigned to Sara's Inn. The person left in charge, Jessica, knew nothing about the event. She didn't realize we had a wedding planned that day. None of the staff seemed to realize this until our coordinator got things in motion. Our day of event coordinator approached Jessica who was so rude, the coordinator and all who approached Jessica felt like we were putting them out by asking for things like the ceremony room to be set up, the beverage station was not up so could drink water, lemonade, and tea until the bartender started. All the things discussed with Alex, but didn't get relayed to Jessica. She didn't realize we had a wedding planned that day. Our wedding started at 6PM and at 5:15 PM the ceremony room was still not set up, so the groomsmen who finished placing a chuppah in the front of the building had to help remove patio chairs as the one gent I saw struggled to figure out what to do. The coordinator asked for the assistance of the groomsmen because with time ticking, and nothing in place, given the 6-9:30 PM ceremony window, we needed the chairs set up ASAP for the ceremony 45 minutes out. We were completing missing a round table for the reception, so space became more intimate as 10 people had nowhere to seat during the meal. We were promised 7 tables which held 10 people each, instead, we received 6 tables of 10. The services we paid Sara's INN included catering as we ordered sides brussels sprouts, rice pilaf, and lemon cake from them and we also rented silverware, plates, and glasses from Sara's. We were told their caterer would handle removing the plates from the tables which made sense to me since we rented the dishes from the venue and the reception was onsite. This didn't happen. We rented the house for the night and the guests slept well. Breakfast was great. Luckily, despite the setbacks from the deficient service, all of the guests enjoyed catching up with one another, which is the joy of an intimate wedding. We are happy to married and happy to have shared it with our friends. Just wished the venue would have upheld all of the conversations and assurances made. Including the most basic, timely set up of the venue space and the amount of round tables requested in the reception space. I approached the venue for response and was blamed for everything that went wrong. I was told that their caterer couldn't remove plates from the tables because the other caterer (who provided the chargrilled meats he grilled offsite) had not finished cooking. Hmm...because at the end of the meal, the griller stilled needed to cook more meat?? What 20 minutes chargrilled chicken recipe does Sara's INN have? That was just an example of the many ways I was blamed for their deficiencies. From the moment I arrived on-site the day of my wedding, I was treated like that relative everyone hoped would not show herself at Thanksgiving meal except it was my day and just for the night, I should have felt like it was my dinner table. I didn't let the experience quelch my day or my mood. If you do decide to use this place, the simplest decorations and flowers suited well as the place itself is a work of art.
