We had our wedding in April at the Simpson House Inn and it was simply a dream. The property is peaceful and romantic, and you have the feeling of stepping into your own secret garden as soon as you arrive.
All of the staff are warm and welcoming, and always helpful and accommodating to our needs throughout the whole planning process. Haley, the Innkeeper we worked directly with, is especially lovely and made our wedding weekend and the months leading up to it a breeze. She continually went above and beyond for us. For example, arranging for the Hors D'oeuvres to be set out several hours earlier than their standard schedule so that they would be available to guests as they got checked in.
Being able to have the venue to ourselves throughout the weekend was incredible as well. It wasn't a top priority for us when we were first looking for venues, but it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the experience! It was great to have our wedding party and immediate family staying all together, and we never felt rushed out or that they were in a hurry to turn the space over for other events. We were able to relax into our own little world, tucked away in the garden.
The whole property is lush and vibrant, with tall hedges surrounding it creating a private and quiet space. The rooms themselves are all beautiful, and have the most comfortable pillows ever. We really could not have asked for a more perfect setting for our garden party wedding, and are already looking forward to visiting again soon!
The Simpson House Inn is such a beautiful venue with incredible staff. My husband and I held our wedding here and it could not have been more perfect. The house and gardens are so thoughtfully designed and well kept. It created a very private and romantic atmosphere. Having family and friends stay at the venue and being able to get ready on site gave us that extra time to spend with our loved ones while making everything easier on us! The staff were all welcoming and kind. Haley was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process! She was easy to get in touch with and very helpful and accommodating. We appreciate how special everyone made this weekend for us. We can't recommend this venue enough.
The Simpson House Inn is a magic place with the most amazing staff. We had our wedding at the Simpson House and it was perfect. The outdoor space is incredibly maintained. The garden, the trees, the lawn – all absolutely pristine. Haley is the best of the best! The cottages on site are all so unique and truly special. Thank you to the Simpson House Inn for hosting our wedding. Our guests could not stop talking about how truly amazing this venue is.
We held our Rehearsal Dinner at the Simpson House Inn and it was nothing short of magical. We wished we had organized our wedding here! The gardens, main house and each cottage are all so beautiful. Tony, the manager is also a gem to work with. We highly highly recommend!
