Stroudsmoor Country Inn

ing came together so beautifully the day of the wedding, it exceeded my expectations! I was able to have the wedding of my dreams and still give my guest a safe and beautiful experience. I can’t say enough about the staff, Linda, Alex and Belkis were phenomenal! It’s been about 3 weeks since my wedding and my friends and family are still talking about how wonderful it was. Linda made it easy by providing a list of vendors which were all amazing and talking me through the process up to the day of.. Linda and Alex made sure all went well the day of my wedding and Belkis was like a personal concierge there to help wipe any (happy) tears and making sure my hair, make up and dress were on point. Along with any other need I may have had that day. I’m so happy I chose to have my wedding at Stroudsmoor Country Inn and would highly recommend them again and again!!

s to choose from we had our top 3 in mind when we arrived. Our planner/ Coordinator Cathleen was amazing to work with. We met for our first appointment and went over what we had in mind and she took it from there. We looked at the sites we liked from the website and then sat and discussed availability, pricing, and the process. Everything you could need to plan your wedding was right there. We used the onsite Bridal spa for our hair (they have other services available, but we only used them for hair). Even with the ever-changing restrictions due to Covid and my daughter being handicapped they still managed to accommodate all our needs and have everyone looking fabulous! They also have their own floral and décor team. We worked with Greyson and she was able to take our ideas and make them a reality. If you don't want to supply your own items like centerpieces, card box and other signage they have MANY to choose from that you can rent. Being onsite Greyson was very knowledgeable with all possible venue locations and was able to help guide us with our decisions to get the look we wanted. DJ and photography, we had plans for our own music and photography but both of those fell through. Lucky for us, the Stroudsmoor also has their own team onsite. We contacted their team and they were still available on our date so just like that we scheduled a meeting with them and then they were booked. I never knew how much work was involved with planning a wedding. Thanks to our planner, Cathleen, no detail was overlooked. Everything was laid out for us in an easy to follow timeline and even with the ever changing Covid restrictions, she still made the magic happen. I can't say enough good things about the location and the effort of the staff there to make this special day special for everyone. I've been a bridesmaid for other weddings and have never been as impressed with anyone as much as I was at the Sroudsmoor.

was magical. Everyone at the venue is so helpful. They made sure we did not stress and everything went smoothly. The food was delicious and our guest can't stop talking about that day. It was an amazing day and my husband and I can't stop talking about it!

spite having to change the date with Covid. She made sure every detail was perfect and put us all at ease. Everyone from the servers, bartenders, maitre d, etc. we’re wonderful and attended our every need. The food was delicious. From the many appetizers, including many vegan options, to dinner, dessert and the cookies. We had many compliments from our guests saying it was the best wedding food they have had! Our accommodations at the inn were lovely and comfortable, and the complimentary breakfast was delicious. I really have no complaints about the venue and would highly recommend it!

ll with Linda, we expressed our concerns about a budget and details related to a Hindu ceremony and reception. Our main concern was food as we were looking for a majority of Indian dishes while Stroudsmoor mainly focuses on Italian cuisine. We were told there is an Indian chef who cooks delicious food and catering would not be a problem. We were originally told that we could have a tasting of the food, as it is difficult even for Indians to cook for different regions. Great, on to viewing the property which began with Linda mixing us up with another couple. The grounds were beautiful and we felt Lawnhaven was perfect. We voiced concerns over budget again, and asked to get a general idea of a cost seeing as the base price was high. As we discussed, we were told this and that can be done for an extra cost. In our minds, if everything was going to be a “bit more”, this is going to be very expensive. Shortly after, we wanted to again get a better understanding of how much a Hindu ceremony, a vegetarian lunch, and an Indian food central reception would cost. After days of back and forth, determining what we wanted and a full menu, Linda was to bring the menu to the chef to determine a price. Days later after reaching out, there were some issues which were causing delays which we understood and continued waiting. Finally, after two weeks, we received the planned menu pricing which actually fit our budget! However in the same email, Linda mentioned another couple was interested in the date and we should let her know if we were serious about having our wedding at Stroudsmoor. Despite being told we would now not be able to have a tasting before placing a deposit, we had an idea of the cost and a vision of the wedding, so we decided to trust Linda and the chef. The deposit was in the mail by Tuesday. Linda sent her congratulations; welcome to the Stroudsmoor family email and we began to send her examples of our plans. Suddenly on Sunday, Linda sent us an email that they “sadly” gave away our date on Friday. Our “indecisiveness” while determining if Stroudsmoor could accommodate us cost us the date. We attempted to make it work and drove 2 hours to see another venue Linda offered to us with a “discount” of $1000. It didn’t work for us, and we called Linda, obviously upset that she gave away our date despite the deposit being in the mail. She somehow felt “threatened” by my fiancé when she raised her voice that we had emails from the prior Sunday asking for deposit information. We should take our check back and “go home”. As if wanting an explanation or some kind of recognition that she messed up was grounds for never wanting to work with us again. A few days later I asked to have a conversation about how the situation was handled, which was only met with hostility and again Linda blaming everything on my fiancé. The handling of this problem was unprofessional and rude. We were given clear indication that we were good to go, only to be brushed off with no chance to find a solution. We feel slighted, sad, and angry this happened to us but after reading some employee reviews of the Stroudsmoor, I’m not too surprised a mixed race couple made them feel “threatened” and asked to leave when a problem arose.

king everyone’s temperature prior to entering the reception, and distancing the tables. All had to wear masks when going up to the bar, gelato station (amazing!), and bathrooms. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and decorated perfectly for Christmas which is what we wanted! Our flowers and decorations were just the right amount - Sarah did an amazing job arranging exactly what I wanted which included lots of holly :) and candles! I’m almost speechless when it comes to Barbara our wedding coordinator. She was amazingly organized and everything we asked for was done, she was able to keep us calm and reassured despite the pandemic, no item that we brought to her to use the day of the wedding was lost, and she even was there the day of the wedding (and helped bustle my dress when we were struggling!). I am so grateful for her! Alex, Sam, and Ryan did an amazing job serving and moving the night along- making sure we knew what was next and making sure we got everything done that needed to be done on our wedding night. It was nice because we didn’t have to remember any of the schedule - they did it all for us and it went so smoothly!!! They were all so pleasant and happy to help. Sam made sure that we had our drinks at the table as soon as we entered the reception, and I remember one of the 3 making sure we got a bite of a warm scallop in the middle of pictures outside because we were hungry and cold! Everything was such a blur that day because it goes so fast, but all of the staff members I mentioned were such a memorable part of the day. All our guests truly had a amazing time from what we heard. Thank you so much for making our day perfect!!

n a heck of a year, but she helped us plan & then replan our wedding effortlessly & I know we couldn’t have done it without her! We are so grateful for everything that Barbara & all of the Stroudsmoor staff has done for us! Our Lawnhaven wedding was magical, the decorations were beautiful, the food was amazing, the wait staff was fantastic and all of our family & friends can’t stop talking about how perfect it was! We will be recommending Stroudsmoor to anyone & everyone! Do yourself a favor, book the tour & find out for yourself just how amazing & magical this place really is!

o Linda and being told I wasn’t able to tour the property until at least January due to covid regulations (mind you I’m planning for a 2021 summer wedding). Meanwhile people are still having weddings on the property and after looking at other reviews I see that others were able to tour. It wasn’t until I contacted the property that I was sent a closer date. I am stuck between Stroudsmoor thinking they are still the only venue to choose from or me being persuaded not to have my wedding there. It was such a breath of fresh air talking to other venues where the event planners were as excited about my engagement as I am or at least made me feel that way. Couldn’t be happier that this happened, because I ended up with a gorgeous and newer spot to host my big day!! Go somewhere that makes you a priority.

essed after we got there for our meeting. Do they have lovely venues? Sure, if you’re seeking rustic venues set in the mountains. But with 6 venues on-site, it's obvious that you're just another number - plain and simple. It's possible for them to have upwards of a dozen weddings or more a weekend (we were told each venue could have at most 1 wedding a day) and as such, it’s a busy place. With that considered, maybe they don’t want or need new business, given the chilly reception we received when we called ahead for our scheduled appointment, then not so much as a “hello” when we walked in the door. Everything is on-site (like floral and decorations) that may be needed, so if you have your heart set on any vendors this is probably not the place for you. If you don’t have your heart set on vendors, the convenience sounds like a bonus until when asking basic questions to find out more information during your tour, the coordinator just tells you to talk to someone else in that department. What would the process be like after signing on the dotted line, we wondered. Do they communicate well between departments or just defer back and forth to one another, if some of the most basic questions during a venue tour that should impress a prospective client are poorly answered. Other venues that we looked at with adjoining hotels offered a tour of a basic guest room and information about the cost of room blocks during the tour, as well as noted that a basic hotel room for the couple on their wedding night. This was not offered and in fact, if you want to look at one of the guest rooms while you're there so you can get a sense of what accommodations for your guests would be like, you can't. We had to call and talk to so-and-so about it because the coordinator can't show you rooms and it's not part of the scheduled tour. Our experience reached a point bordering on ridiculous and tacky after several comments were made during our tour that “there's a rental fee for that…” or “that’s an extra charge…” I understand the concept of “upgrades” but it got to the point of sounding like a broken record. We started to wonder what exactly *was* included and how many extra rental fees we *would* be met with. Also, we were told that during a prior event, liquor that *was not* included in that couple's wedding package was left in sight and when a guest asked for it, they were told no. I can’t imagine how embarrassing that must have been for both the guests and the couple getting married — especially after they spent a lot of money to have their wedding, with whatever liquor package they did choose for their guests, to essentially be embarrassed for not purchasing more. Our tour experience did nothing to give us any good feelings about having our special day with SCI and the treatment that we would get. We don’t want to be "just another wedding" happening that day at their facility.

ID our weddings plans changed at the last minute and we need a venue within 30 days to host our wedding. Not only did Linda give us an unforgettable experience she handled every last detail, the staff executed everything perfectly and the food was wonderful to say is an understatement. We could not think of anything that was not perfect on this day. We will return to this venue every year for anniversary, and to be honest probably several times a year because it’s a perfect spot for a nice romantic dinner or an early Sunday brunch.

m 9/27/2020 to 10/8/2021 due to COVID. My husband and I then made the decision to elope at the Woodland Chapel on our original date. Cathleen was there for us every step of the way from wedding planning, to postponing our wedding, to elopement planning. The day of our elopement was completely stress free. The Stroudsmoor helped us put together a beautiful ceremony that included champagne and a miniature wedding cake, followed by a buffet dinner at the Main Inn. It was so nice to not have to worry about a single thing that day and to be able to enjoy it to the fullest. We stayed at the Ledgemere suite for the weekend which was absolutely gorgeous. My favorite part about the Stroudsmoor is that they really go above and beyond for their couples. From taking care of our ceremony belongings to providing us with endless champagne, they created such a memorable day for us. Even though COVID changed our wedding plans, I am so glad that because of it, we are able to get married at the Stroudsmoor twice! Looking forward to continuing our wedding plans for our big wedding next year

r if we'd even be having a wedding. Corinne (our planner), Colleen (guest accommodations), Sarah (floral & décor), and Gina (bridal studio) were in constant contact with us. We were lucky to not have to make any major changes to our day as our wedding was on the smaller side to begin with, but every member of this team made our big day effortless. Any and all "problems" were resolved before we knew there was an issue, any requests were honored to the best of their ability, and all questions (including the day of) were answered immediately. My aunt broke her leg the day before our wedding and Corinne tracked down a wheelchair for her!! My attendant, Belkis, was there every moment for anything I or other members of our wedding party needed. We are so happy that we chose The Stroudsmoor for our wedding, and it was everything we imagined and more. Our guests couldn't rave enough about the property, the venue, the food, everything! I cannot imagine ever getting married anywhere else. Thank you Stroudsmoor crew!! We'll see you on 9/25/2021!!

team was professional and courteous. A special thanks to Ryan and Anna, who oversaw all operations that day, as well as to our server Gail, who was friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable about menu items. Stroudsmoor really hit it out park for all of us and we are all very thankful for their help.

r outdoors was genius! Highly recommended 👍 They even upgraded our meal package to a buffet style (higher cost) and added a extra dish for no cost👍.

They worked with the COVID restrictions and still gave us the most beautiful wedding! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour! They were also amazed at the attentiveness of all of the staff working the wedding! Barbara helped ease all of my anxieties from the constant changing restrictions, to actually changing my entire venue, to the day of stress of some light rain. I hope I get to attend a future wedding at the Stroudsmoor! Thank you for making our day everything we hoped it would be!

plans for us. We decided to go with a small, intimate ceremony at the Pavillion with our immediate family and bridal party still on 10/2 and postponed our big reception until May 2021. As a bride, I was so disappointed when we had to make that decision. However, the disappointment started to fade when reviewing all of the details for our 10/2 ceremony and how perfect it sounded! And I can absolutely say...our day was truly magical! Cathleen made sure of it! We are really looking forward to continuing to work with her for our May reception. This venue is just absolutely remarkable. Their attention to detail, organization, and warm hospitality are just a few of the reasons why you should choose this venue for your special day. And our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food! We cannot even find the words to say how much we appreciate you Cathleen! Thank you, thank you Stroudsmoor Country Inn! We are forever grateful!

Country Inn family made the impossible, possible. Dealing with a cross cultural wedding, an insane guest list, countless meetings, phone calls, emails, and guest bookings on site that changed who knows how many times was just the beginning, Linda was a God send. I have never personally met someone as poised and professional as her. What she can do to make your dream wedding has no limits and she does it with class, compassion, and heart. She genuinely cares about her couples and calms every anxiety about the process you might have. We were and still are today so thankful for what Linda has done for us. And as far as the day of the wedding, we want to shout out Belkis, our personal Wonder Woman! Belkis, from the bottom of our hearts.. Thank you! Thank you for keeping us calm... Thank you for assisting us with our every need, want, and desire...as well as our bridal party’s and family’s as well. You are an amazing woman and much appreciated! We can’t tell you how many people have told us this was the best wedding they have ever been too. And even a year later we continue to receive those sentiments. We were truly blessed to have Linda head our wedding from start to finish with many extra surprises she had up her sleeve (don’t want to mention to ruin any surprises, but oh my!). Thank you for everything you have done for us Linda, we appreciate you and love that we are now apart of the Stroudsmoor Family!

ded a phenomenal, well-orchestrated event for the bride and groom and their guests. They were attentive to every need and allowed us to just enjoy the reception from moment one to the very last of the evening.

happens, things become even more stressful when trying to replan everything. Thankfully, we chose such an exceptional venue and we were honored to be able to work with our planner, Cathleen! She made all of our stress from Day 1 go away and assured us that she would do everything in her power to make sure our wedding was everything we dreamt of. Despite the challenges with COVID-19, Cathleen and the staff at Stroudsmoor were more than willing to accommodate us and be flexible to ensure our wedding would be perfect! Even though we decided to postpone our reception, Cathleen and Stroudsmoor staff helped arrange a minimony on our original date and made sure everything was perfect! Also, Susie Forrester, our photographer was so amazing! With having to postpone our reception we asked Susie if she would still be willing to come and be our photographer on our original date. She was more than willing to come and photograph anything we wanted and we cannot get over how amazing the pictures are! She was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. We were so happy with our venue choice from the day we signed the contract, but with everything that has gone on with the pandemic we can definitely say that with all of the uncertainties we are so glad that we chose the venue we did! We cannot thank Stroudsmoor enough for all they have done for us and continue to do with planning our reception next year. Thank you so much to Cathleen and the rest of the Stroudsmoor Staff for all of your hardwork and making us feel like part of your family! Don't hesitate on booking this venue! You will not be disappointed! All of the staff at Stroudsmoor will go above and beyond to make all of your dreams come true!

s we had quickly and made our dream wedding come true even during this pandemic. Ryan and Alex were the floor managers the day of our wedding and made sure everything ran like a well oiled machine. Lastly, Belkis was our server in the bridal party sweet. She was the Mary poppins of service. She helped bustle my dress, made sure everyone had a drink, checked on me and my husband for any of our needs. She really went the extra mile and made enjoying our wedding day a breeze. Food was amazing and they even set up a tent and dance floor outside ( on their dime) to accommodate our wedding outside due to the pandemic restrictions. I can’t say enough good things about stroudsmoor and would give 10 stars if I could!!!

ion wedding planner), Sarah (the florist with the mostest) and the entire staff were absolutely the best. From keeping us sane to taking every safety precaution to adapting to ever changing mandates and regulations, they pulled off the impossible. A special shout out to Belkis who was our shadow throughout the wedding, making sure we had everything we could possibly need. We had the most magical day and we couldn't have done it without them! Get married here. You won't regret it! A month later and our guests are still talking about how special it was!

Insert Coronavirus and all of the uncertainties that came with it. Thank you to Stroudsmoor for their flexibility in helping us to transition our wedding from June to August 2020, and for making sure that there were measures in place to keep our guests as safe as possible. Corinne was so helpful and reassuring, especially during a scary time. She helped us to be creative and provided ideas so that we could create a memorable day. She absolutely enjoys what she does, and you can feel that vibe when you are around her. Corinne truly cares about the couple she works with. The staff was fantastic. Sarah and the floral department, absolutely amazing. They really help to bring your vision to life. And the food... so delicious! I'm so happy that we chose Stroudsmoor!

to answer all of our questions on that day and every day moving forward, constantly remaining in touch with quick email replies and phone calls. This was true of Gina at the salon, Grayson from the floral department, and Colleen from the lodging department as well. We were originally going to be wed at Lawnhaven in the presence of 150 guests, but when COVID-19 threw a curveball, Cathleen walked us through a beautiful new plan for a much more intimate wedding day, after we made the difficult decision to postpone our larger celebration to 2021. Cathleen was able to honor our requests for our new, intimate wedding and made every accommodation we needed. Cathleen and all of her fellow Stroudsmoor staff went above and beyond to ensure that the transition was seamless and the day was absolutely beautiful... absolutely perfect. In fact, our day exceeded all of our hopes and expectations. We truly couldn't have imagined the most special day of our lives being any other way. We felt like kings and queens, not to mention the absolutely delicious dinner and cake which were both hugely enjoyed by ourselves and our guests. I was even able to (safely) have my hair and makeup done thanks to Gina and Olivia at the salon. The Stroudsmoor had to totally rework multiple weddings between Thursday and the start of the weekend after a new PA regulation/mandate set in place. I can't even fathom the amount of time, energy, and effort they had to put forth during this time, and yet they operated with tremendous grace and excellence on our wedding day.. in the middle of this tremendous challenge... pulling it off with ease and perfection. We are forever grateful to Cathleen and the Stroudsmoor!!!

our venue to accommodate our desired new date (7/25/20). They were also extremely flexible with the the amount of guests, since we had to change our venue they let us have less people than the minimum required for the venue. Planning our wedding was very stressful during this time with all the changes in event restrictions in PA and Stroudsmoor was wonderful at making us feel at ease. Amy and Anna were great. I can't tell you how many phone calls and meetings we had in the month leading up to the big day. About 6 days before the wedding, we actually had to move the entire thing outside due to another change in the restrictions! They found us tents and a dance floor at no charge and it was just as beautiful as it would have been inside. Every detail was in place. The food was abundant and delicious. Our bridal party waitress, Bellis, was fantastic. One mention of something and she had it in my hand in seconds. We felt absolutely pampered, totally taken care of. It was a perfect reception! Also have to give a shout out to Sarah and Grayson from the floral department. They were on point, everything was delivered where it needed to go on time and fresh (it was 86 degrees and sunny that day!). And of course the flowers were beautiful and exactly what I described to them. Thank you Stroudsmoor for making us so happy!

rateful for the staff at stroudmoor for helping our wedding to happen especially in a time of so much uncertainty. Cathleen was our wedding planner, she was truly helpful and amazing. they have all went above and beyond for us. our wedding was a dream come true thanks to the staff at stroudmoor as well as Cathleen. thank you all again for making our day possible.

rikes and again nothing but fantastic service. They went above and beyond for us to make everything as perfect as it should be as well as taking every precaution for our safety and the safety of our guests. we are beyond happy to have choosen such a wonderful venue at Terraview at the Stroudsmoor. the views, the food, the service, and just everything was more then we could have dreamed of. thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! Nicole & Andrew Walters

the pandemic happened. Three days until our wedding the governor made restrictions that literally made my heart drop. I was completely in tears and though that I would have to cancel with 3 days to go. Stroudsmoor went above and beyond without hesitation. They rearranged things so planning could continue. From the delicious rehearsal dinner down to the gorgeous flowers, our absolutely stunning wedding event would not have been possible for the tireless efforts of Linda Forte, Corinne Tuohy, and Sarah Ciaramella. To them, I was not just another bride or check. I was family! It meant a great deal to my husband and me. On the day of the wedding, Stroudsmoor staff (Sam, Kirstin, and Kelsey) made sure that our day went smoothly. From our glasses were always full, and our guest were happy. Our wedding was more than we ever hoped and dreamed. Something we never thought would be possible during these times. Ryan and I thank from the bottom of our hearts.

. We FaceTimed walking through some of the venues that were applicable to our guest list of around 130 persons, and had pinned Lawnhaven as a favorite before even seeing it. Working with Barbara, Sarah and the entire SCI team was nothing short of incredible. They are professional, timely, and considerate. Our biggest challenge was food. I am deathly allergic to all dairy, and we did not want guests touching anything, hugging and kissing and then I break out in hives. Barbara worked with us on this, from our appetizers down to our desserts! It was the first time in so long that I didn't feel uncomfortable being in a group setting while eating dinner or having to worry about my health and safety. (Our guests didn't notice any difference at all in the quality of food - it was absolutely delicious and for those of you who have Italian family members - those off the boat - you know how hard it is to please them when it comes to food!!) Sarah's move to the floral department in 2019 was superb. She absolutely NAILED my bouquet (which I had preserved). The day of, all the staff was professional, attentive, and one step head of us in anticipating our needs. We are so grateful to the SCI and their entire staff for making our wedding day unforgettable, and the one wedding all our friends and family compare others to!

ill remember fondly forever. I can't recommend this place highly enough. The convenience of so many vendors and services on-site along with coordinators that help you every step of the way made everything so easy, and the service during the wedding and reception was unlike any I'd ever seen with how they made sure every guest was satisfied. And satisfied, they were. The food from the seemingly unending hors d'oeuvres to the dinner to perhaps the best cake I've ever had in my life. I could gush about this place forever, but I'll end with telling anyone looking for wedding venues in this area to save themselves the trouble, and just go here. Those awards and accolades aren't for show. It really is the best.

dding. We feel for all the other couples at different venues that have not had a great outcome like we have had so far at the Stroudsmoor.

g to communicate with us. They are trying to hold us responsible for a contract that is void and attempting to make us pay for product and services that were never provided. The contract is unenforced and they have no leg to stand on and yet here we are. Over a week later and they are refusing to even answer. Absolutely a shame to treat people this way. I would never reccomend this place to a soul. How dare they hold people's money in a time like this where there is financial uncertainty for all. Find another venue!! #shameonstrousdmoor

planning this day and my fiance and I worked 3 jobs to pay for this wedding. They are holding over $10k hostage. it breaks my heart to be going through this and their lack of empathy and support is absolutely disgusting. I trusted them with what was supposed to be the best day of my life and they have done nothing but disappointed me. I wouldn't recommend this venue to anyone.

this review, I NEED to write this review, because I’m compelled to let you know that Stroudsmoor Country Inn gave me my dream wedding. I had only wanted a venue with a beautiful view in the mountains that was large enough to hold all of my wedding guests. Instead, what I got was one of the best venues in the northeast, if not the country. The wedding sites are all lovely and I’m thankful my large wedding size limited me to two sites, because I don’t know how I could have picked my favorite from all the options. We chose Ridgecrest due to the beautiful chapel overlooking the countryside; the site was breathtaking and anyone we took up there understood immediately why we needed to get married here, even with it being outside in winter. The inside reception hall was just as beautiful and everyone oohed and ahhed as they entered. The staff was amazing and professional. Every detail was accounted for, nothing was overlooked. It looked straight out of a wedding magazine. From the outfits of the wait staff to the stringed lights on the porch, from the meticulous detail of the table place sets to the delicate decorations for the ceremony, it was sheer perfection. My family has high-standards and Stroudsmoor exceeded every one of them. The guests raved about everything: the food, the decorations, the care of the staff…in an extended family where every wedding is a competition to outdo the other, the family regrettably admitted that ours was the clear winner. I can’t keep track of all the amazing helpful people. Velkis was the MVP of the wedding day. She’s one of the seven wonders of the world. Broken button on a groomsmen’s tux? She whips out a sewing kit and sews it. My brother’s pants keep sliding down? She cleverly grabs a clip and engineers it to stay up. My head hurts? She pulls out the Advil. Cold outside? She ingeniously slaps a heating pad to my back to keep me warm. This ever-present shadow followed my every move and made everything a dream; she was always there to fluff out my dress, fix my bustle, touch up my make-up, provide me a tissue for the inevitable happy tears…I could go on and on and still miss things she did without me even realizing it. Linda is truly a wonder. With a discerning eye, she had the answer for everything. She’s exactly what you need for your wedding without you even knowing. Her wealth of knowledge and experience means there isn’t a problem she hasn’t met and tackled. She will make sure your wedding goes perfectly, I guarantee it. I was amazed to see no task is too big or too small for her; one minute she is rallying the wait staff to put on their best performance, and then next I see her in an apron wiping down tables. She does what is necessary to make sure YOU have the best wedding possible. No request is too absurd. We wanted a comet on the ceiling? Done: it’s animated too and streaks across the sky on the ceiling. We want fireworks? She hires the best who sets off a show so good it puts Fourth of July to shame. Like I said, Linda and the Stroudsmoor team will give you your dream wedding – you just have to ask.…read the other reviews to get a better idea of all what Stroudsmoor has to offer.

he snow incredibly well. Our guests cannot stop raving about the food (especially assortment of delicious appetizers), decor and venue. On site lodging was great. Overall an absolutely phenomenal experience. Thank you Stroudsmoor for making our day that much more magical!! - Karolina and Dave

e Cathleen as our wedding planner. She is so easy to work with, reply's right away, and keep you on track. our planning was truly stress free. The food is incredible also!!

and exactly (or even better!) than we imagined. Plus, it was one of the more affordable venues we saw. I wish I could give more than five stars. Stroudsmoor is essentially a one-stop shop, from their amazing bakery, on-site hair and makeup studio, and beautiful guest accommodations- they truly have it all! They were so accommodating to our requests, like having our beloved dog serve as our ring barker, and were able to make some very last minute changes when a bridal party guest fell ill. Our guests are still raving about the beautiful Lawnhaven venue, the INCREDIBLE food, delicious wedding cake, and the best cookies ever at our milk and cookies bar. Belkis was my bridal assistant for the day, and she deserves a special shout-out! She was there for any little thing I needed, whether it was drinks, snacks, a dress steaming, or a tide pen, and she made sure my husband and I ate and were more than taken care of throughout the entire event. She even volunteered to sprint to my room and grab my forgotten veil! Not only was she helpful, she was beyond kind and so genuine. Both Corinne and Kerry were present throughout the entire evening, and everything went so smoothly and perfectly thanks to them. They made sure guests were in the proper place, and really threw a perfect party. You can tell they truly enjoy what they do, and they pass that love on their brides and grooms. Stroudsmoor gave us the most incredible wedding experience we could have hoped for. Everyone was so professional and every aspect was well executed. My husband and I can't wait to return for our anniversary and enjoy the rest of what this gorgeous inn has to offer.

ut every last detail. My husband and I decided to go with the buffet for dinner so our guests would have multiple food options to choose from. Being from NJ, I was initially nervous about the food selection since New Jerseyans can be very picky about their food. I'm very happy to say that we had so many compliments on how delicious the food was. If you plan on getting married at the Stroudsmoor, I highly recommend using their floral department. Sarah is an absolute sweetheart and made sure everything looked absolutely perfect. We had two florists attend our wedding as guests and they were blown away by how gorgeous the flowers and centerpieces were. I would also recommend getting your hair done at the Stroudsmoor Bridal Studio! It's conveniently located right on site next to Lawnhaven. They did an amazing job!! My bridesmaid has extremely straight hair and her curls lasted all night. Lawnhaven is a beautiful venue for a winter wedding, especially during the holiday season. The holiday decorations such as the Christmas tree and lights all outside were included for free. The only criticism I would give the Stroudsmoor is the chairs they provide for the ceremony at Lawnhaven. The chairs included with the price are white metal folding chairs, which would be suitable for a backyard BBQ, not a formal wedding ceremony. I ended up having to pay extra for brown chiavari chairs, but the end result was well worth it. The other criticism I would give is that my husband and I missed our after party because the staff wouldn't let us leave our wedding decorations after the reception. Initially I was told we would be able to leave our items there and be able to pick them up before 7AM the next day; however, when the reception ended the waitstaff told us we needed to remove them immediately. Other than that, our day was an absolute dream. There was only one other wedding going on that day so we had so many amazing places to take first look, bridal party, and family photos. THANK YOU AGAIN Linda, Cathleen, Sarah, and Gina for such an amazing day.

I thought it could be. I highly recommend Corinne to every couple out there. She was very professional, accommodating and friendly. She knows her stuff and does the best job of making sure the bride and groom have a great time with no stress. Our guests are still talking about our wedding! The entire process was phenomenal and stress free. I cannot thank Corinne enough for making our dream wedding come true and the best day ever!

nd keeping in contact with us throughout the process. Making suggestions (because I really had no clue for certain things). The team was also incredibly flexible, we added some last minute upgrades and they made it work no questions asked. Lastly on the day of they really came prepared and helped out in ways my guests still talk about! I have a toddler and they even helped with her (keeping her happy and distracted while we took wedding photos). I would absolutely recommend this venue and staff to everyone!

one, Gina worked with us to help make our vision come true. We highly recommend the Stroudsmoor Country Inn for your wedding or any special event! If you’re lucky enough to have Gina as your wedding planner, you are truly in the best of hands!

the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff. It was a perfect day that was just seamless. Cathleen was our wedding coordinator and she is phenomenal. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease and she is on top of her game. She was always responsive and accommodating to any changes we wanted to make even in later stages of the process. The day of the wedding was just perfect and Cathleen and staff made sure we taken care of at all times. We didn’t do a first look so she brought us all of our cocktail hour foods and drinks out to us while we were taking photos. She also had our drinks and more food for us on a platter for after. Once the wedding was wrapping up we were given several to go boxes of food and cake as well. Not to mention, I had my hair and make up done on site at their bridal studio, and our invitations and flowers were done in house also. They have everything you need there so that it’s a one stop shop for wedding planning which makes life so much easier! If I could give 10 stars I would!

t and she was spectacular. I couldn’t thank her enough. They made my wedding dreams come true.

faith and took me under her wing when I lost my wedding planner. I was scared and she assured me I was in good hands. From the floral department, the bakery, the chefs, and the lodging coordinator; everyone made sure that my wedding went above my expectations. Towards the end of the reception and even today which marks one week from when we got married; our wedding is still a hot topic. Many guests said this was the best wedding they have ever been to. Some called it a fairy tale wedding. I called it perfect.

the woodland chapel is I turned to him and said, "oh ...oh no." Haha! The drive home was an easy discussion. Everything from the first meeting with our planner, Ashley, all the way to the last hour we were at the venue was perfect, fun, easy, and amazing. The food is DELICIOUS. Ashley and Ryan made the whole day go perfectly, even up to several last minute touches and changes. (A battery pack in a diy centerpiece that went out, Ryan double checked with me and just popped that on a less noticable table). Little things like that which are impossible to "shop for" but make ALL the difference in the stress and perfection of a day. We stayed on site in the Ledgemere suites which were cozy and adorable. And TWO DEER walked through the woods as I read my vows. Best day of my life. So happy that we found Stroudsmoor!

They do everything there for you! Food and drinks, your wedding cake, decor, flowers, hair and makeup, lodging, rehearsal lunch or dinner and so much more. It really makes you feel at ease when everything can be done at one place. I really can’t say enough good thing. I would recommend anyone having their wedding there 100%. I had so many complements from my guests on the beautiful ceremony flowers, delicious hors d’oeuvres and dinner, the attentive and very nice staff, and just the beauty of the entire site. I Love love love The Stroudsmoor Country Inn.

am at Stroudsmoor made it so easy.. from choosing our venue, to picking our invitations, to planning all of the special details to make our day ours, to organizing and planning for all of us girls to be pampered and beautiful for the big day. If you are looking for a beautiful location, great people, the most organized approach to planning your wedding, and a gorgeous venue that offers almost every service you will need, you will be thrilled with the Stroudsmoor. I would highly recommend Stroudsmoor Country Inn to anyone getting married! You will not be disappointed!

tely amazing and wonderful to work with. She is bubbly, friendly, and funny and you can tell she truly has a passion for what she does. It was an honor to work with her and we really enjoyed working with her and getting to know her. She also gave great advice and helped me stay on task with things. On the day when some things didn’t go according to plan (like the groomsmen arriving late to the venue), she took it in stride and was there to help make sure things went smoothly. Linda and everyone at the floral studio were excellent, the flowers turned out absolutely perfect! She also worked within our budget which was very helpful. The staff was absolutely incredible for the event! Guests commented how friendly and welcoming everyone was. Everyone loved the setting and the great food. The staff made sure we were taken of care of the whole night, Jeanine was wonderful. And Ryan, our maitre’d was absolutely awesome! The staff set up everything for us and made sure we had everything back at the end of the night. We can’t thank them enough for making our special day so memorable. If you are looking for a venue in the Poconos, look no further than the Stroudsmoor for your wedding!

ATELY. The most difficult part was picking a venue. They have 5 unique venues on the property. We went back and forth between Terraview and Ridgecrest. But the cozy feel and breathtaking views at Ridgecrest were hard to beat. Ashley was our wedding planner. She made the process stress free and fun and totally got our vision from the very beginning. She was so easy to work with and answered all of my many emails quickly and with so much patience. There were so many add on options and we were able to get so much more for the price than we would have anywhere else. It allowed us to really make the day our own. The staff the day of was wonderful - so attentive and calming. We felt like royalty. I could not imagine the experience being any more magical and I would recommend the Stroudsmoor to anyone! Our guests are still raving about what a good time they had! P.s. We also booked an after party at the Pavilion and it was absolutely perfect. It allowed the night to continue seamlessly in such a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. The food was great. There were so many cool areas to hang out and everyone had a great time! We would definitely recommend it.

so beautiful, the flowers were even prettier than we hoped for, the reception gave the fairytale setting that I was praying for - it was simply gorgeous. The hors d'oeuvres were delightful and the wedding party especially appreciated them during the cocktail hour/photo session along with each of the drinks of our choice! We couldn't have felt more special. A special shout out to Ashley for all of her hard work, her co-worker that had the vest with all of the pockets for anything needed, like bandaids for blisters...and the rest of the staff! The meal was exceptional as well! Every detail was handled very efficiently & with great care! Thanks for the memories!

tails that I did not have to worry about. They keep their grounds and bed and breakfast areas beautiful and the venue sites are one of a kind. All of the food and the cake were very tasty. Cathleen is the best coordinator ever! No regrets with choosing Stroudsmoor for our wedding. They helped make it perfect.

always so quick to respond to any and all of my Hundred thousand emails, and made me feel so confident putting this huge day in their hands. And they did not disappoint! I still have people contacting me telling me how it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, how delicious the food was and how stuffed they were when they left. I had a really good gut feeling the first time I visited Stroudsmoor and im so glad I followed that feeling. Everything was perfect- the food, the flowers, the planning and coordination, just amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a more incredible day. We’re coming back on our anniversary with the whole wedding party!

hey even made sure we had appetizers when we were having photos done during cocktail hour. Ashey was our day of planner and I can't even begin to describe how invaluable she was to making our big day perfect! Everything went off without a hitch and I had so many guests telling me it was the best wedding they have ever attended. if I could rate more than 5 stars my husband and I would 100x over!

Baxter, with us throughout the entire process. She made sure that all details (things I didn't even think of!) were taken care of. Stroudsmoor knows weddings like the back of their hands..you cannot go wrong in picking this location. Not only did we feel completely supported, our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the service. We also had this wonderful lady, Belkis, following us around the whole evening making sure we ate and had plenty of water. If you want your wedding day to go seamless and you want your guests to be blown away.. PICK THIS VENUE!

d it anyway. we got married at the Terraview venue. It was truly amazing. Our wedding planner Cathleen was on top of every single detail. I am a bit of a perfectionist, and she was so wonderful, I didn't have a thing to worry about one thing. We shuttled our guests to and from, using buses from Palmeri transportation, which was great. The venue was breathtaking, inside and out. Our guests are still talking about how great everything was at Stroudsmoor. We chose to do the buffet, which did not disappoint. Thanks to the support staff on our wedding day, my husband and I were able to actually eat. They literally made sure we sat down and enjoyed a few bites in between dancing and playing games outside. We could not have asked for a better wedding from the very first visit, to the last second of our event. We truly could not have asked for a better wedding!

ing process! Our coordinator Cathleen is such a gem! She was so much fun to work with and made us feel at ease. She and the staff really delivered! Our wedding day exceeded our expectations and we received compliments on how our guests really felt like they were taken care of! And on our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about anything and felt truly special! It was an absolutely perfect, beautiful day we will remember forever.

s quickly and with great detail, so there was no guess work involved which relived some of our stress. Awesome experience overall at the Lawnhaven venue. Everyone was in awe from the whole event and talked about the Stroudsmoor experience with such positive energy. Thank you Stroudsmoor Country Inn for a wonderful experience. We will be returning for future life events!

was the venue. I can remember the first time we met you. Marissa had an appointment with Barbara, but she was involved with another client. You volunteered to take us around and show us the different venues. When the appointment came to a close, I told Marissa that I hoped you would be the one to help her make all her arrangements and guide her through the process. For some strange reason, I thought you were the “new girl on the block,” and told Marissa that it was okay if she was just “learning the ropes.” She (you) would have plenty of guidance. Little did I know!! That’s my Gina story and I’m sticking to it. Every detail of the wedding from ceremony to reception was perfect. We’ve received compliments on everything from cocktail hour (with endless hors d’oeurves) to the delicious menu at the reception and the variety. A little something for everyone’s palate. “Everything was beautiful!” “I’ve never been to a wedding where ___________, it was just perfect!” The staff were over the top – personable and accommodating. Everyone had a smile on their face. The attention to little details was definitely noticed by all. Crystal (our event supervisor) made sure that I was apprised of any changes/wishes that we might have. I especially enjoyed watching you and Crystal bustle that gown! I just hope I can convince my son and a future fiancée to get married there. Again, Gina and Crystal, thank you so much for making this a memorable moment in all our lives! Mark and Patti Ohrenich (parents of the bride)

of our guests with drinks. Corinne thank you for your patience and making everything perfect. Sarah you did an amazing job with the Flowers. I will always be grateful and thankful for everything you did for us. ❤️ 8/10/19 The Woodsgate

e paid attention to all the details. You can tell she cared about ensuring that our night would be magical, and her daughter Sarah who was our florist did an absolute amazing job. Everything superseded our expectations. The decor at the venue was better then we could have imagined. It was unbelievable! All our guest were raving about how beautiful everything was. Not to mention how breathtaking the view was. Our major dean Brendan was also amazing. From the moment he introduced himself he made sure we were taken care of. He was very professional, attentive, and put us at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better reception. I wish we could give more then 5 stars!

rries and fears I had during the last month of planning. Ryan was our floor manager for the day of and he was constantly making sure my husband and I, along with the bridal party, always had a drink and food. LOVED having the spa for hair and makeup available on site as well as the floral. It was also a stress reliever knowing food and alcohol were included in the price of the venue! We got married at the Woodsgate building (which was absolutely gorgeous) but all their sites are amazing.

ime of year. We worked with a wonderful woman named Gina Baxter and I wouldn't have asked for anyone else. She gave us a tour right away and she was super friendly and we could tell she loves what she does. Gina helped us every step of the way without the feeling of worry of what to do next. She also does her best to give suggestions based off of your budgeting needs. We decided to have our wedding at their Woodsgate venue on August 2, 2019 and the day was more than perfect. Gina's manager Ryan was also super friendly and he knows what he is doing to a tee. We didn't have to decorate the reception site the night before. Ryan and his staff took care of everything for us. The staff is amazing and super friendly and we received wonderful feedback from all of our guests after the wedding took place some even claiming our wedding was one of the best they have attended. I highly recommend this place to any couple looking to have their dream wedding.

. Our wedding coordinator was Corinne, if you have her you are definitely in good hands! She was super responsive and she helped me through multiple issues without a problem. She understood my vision and executed it to a Tee ( I had a specific design for both my ceremony and reception decor and it was perfect!) She made sure everything stayed on schedule and the staff was super efficient. I couldn't have asked for a more magical day.

e answered. Our coordinator, Ashley, was an amazing and flexible person to work with, who made our entire experience thoroughly enjoyable. On the day of our rehearsal and the day of our wedding, all the staff were extremely accommodating, and made sure my husband and I never had to ask for anything. If we could do it all over again, we absolutely would. No detail went unnoticed or forgotten. Thank you, Stroudsmoor!

h us every step of the way to ensure that the wedding was exactly as we wanted. I stressed how personal I wanted our wedding to feel, and it truly felt so special to us. We also worked with the floral department who made some of the most beautiful floral arrangements I have ever seen. People have been telling us over and over how amazing our wedding was and how INSANE the appetizers were during cocktail hour. Ryan was our Maitre D', and he ran everything smoothly from start to finish that I didn't have to worry about a single thing throughout the wedding. I could honestly go on and on about this venue. We are so happy that we chose the Stroudsmoor Country Inn for our big day.

er, Gina Baxter. From the very day we booked our wedding, Gina dealt with my continuous questions and narrowed in on every detail to make our wedding better than we could've imagined. People say how stressful planning a wedding is but having Gina as our planner made things seamless, enjoyable and stress-free. I didn't have a single worry on our wedding day and Gina worked continuously behind the scenes to make my wedding dreams come true. Between the staff, the food and the gorgeous venue, there isn't a single person that I wouldn't recommend the Stroudsmoor to.

sure your well taken care of. They have 4-5 different venues on site and we choose Woodsgate. Woodsgate was absolutely beautiful. We didn’t even have to worry about setting up anything as far as the decorations, they took care of it all. The set up from the ceremony to the cocktail hour, to the reception was just incredible. It was overall the best day ever!

venue was beautiful and the food was amazing (even better than the wedding samplings they run). They have several venues so you are bound to find one that satisfies your tastes and wedding size. I could go on and on about all the wonderful things they did for us. You won't regret having your wedding here!

s excellent. The bakery went above and beyond with our delicious and beautiful cake design. In my experience cake is usually either beautiful or delicious but never both from a bakery. Well Stroudsmoor went above and beyond to make it both! Our day was perfect from start to finish. Our coordinator was amazing at getting all the puzzle pieces into place and everything went off without a single hiccup. The manager was even there serving me drinks that day and checking in with me every half hour or so to make sure my day was everything I ever wanted. My husband and I were completely astonished by the level of care given to us and or 165 guests. Thank you, Stroudsmoor Country Inn. We'll be back for other events. 😁

our day was perfect! She went above and beyond and because of that, our day was flawless! From the endless appetizers, to dinner entrees, and amazing service, everything was perfect and our guests are raving about it! Sarah in floral was a pleasure to work with as well! She listened to what we wanted and everything floral couldn’t have been done more beautifully! Thank you Anna, Sarah, and the entire Stroudsmoor team for giving us a wedding we will never forget and will hold in our hearts forever!!

amazing at making sure we were well taken care of throughout the entire night. The cocktail hour food, main courses and dessert were outstanding. We could not have picked a better location for our wedding.

deposit was made. For example, being financially responsible for anyone who doesn’t show up for their hotel room who books in your block, and doesn’t cancel at least two months in advance. There is nothing done complimentary for the bride and groom, not even the hotel stay. While they are kind, it is just not of the mind of being of service and the bride(s)/groom(s) receiving the celebrity experience one would expect. There is a charge for seemingly anything. I honestly felt at times I was a burden rather than a pleasure. Accommodating would be the antonym I would use to describe this venue. My wedding day was fine, there is nothing that went terribly wrong. At the after party, the staff were incredibly rude, and yes, I was sober. We paid additional money to have the place open and again, felt like a burden. I clearly wish I could write otherwise as it is the most important day anyone’s life, but I have to be honest about my experience.

e booked until the waning moments of our wedding night. She was extremely responsive to any emails we had addressing any concerns and she accommodated all of our needs. From start to finish our day went on without a hitch. We truly felt like everyone genuinely cared deeply about making the perfect night possible. We also used the Stroudsmoor Bridal Spa for our hair and makeup. Olivia and the staff did an amazing job with everyone's hair and makeup and everyone was in the chair and out exactly when they said we would. My bridesmaids all brought pictures of hair styles that they wanted and each and every one of them came out perfectly. Everyone looked gorgeous and I appreciated that Olivia was able to use my natural curls. From my experience, most hair stylists prefer to blowout curls because it is easier to manage. In addition to using the Stroudsmoor Bridal Spa, we used the Stroudsmoor florist and they worked very well within our budget. The bouquets were stunning and the centerpieces were perfect! Even the staff and waiters at the reception were very attentive to our needs. We booked most of the services the Stroudsmoor has to offer and we were so happy that we did. We got to many raving reviews from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. It truly is a magical place to have a wedding and everyone at The Stroudsmoor Country Inn makes the wedding planning process so simple.
