The Barn at Whitney's Farm

We couldn't have had a better experience at Whitney's Inn for our July 2023 wedding. Don and his staff were clear with communication and answering questions throughout the entire wedding planning process. Our wedding ceremony and reception took place on the property. We loved having the entire inn space to share with our guests for the entire wedding weekend as well. The food was absolutely delicious, and my husband and I loved that we did not have to find an additional caterer or bar service - everything is included at the venue! The staff were friendly, welcoming, quirky, and fun to work with throughout the entire wedding day! If you are looking for a rustic, quaint, beautiful, and affordable wedding venue in the White Mountains, look no further! Whitney's Inn is the place to be!

We just got married July 1st, 2023. We originally met with Don last year to view the venue and loved it so much. Don welcomed us with a folder of all the information we would need and toured the venue with us. We also did a taste testing of their menu that was free for the couple. Don was also in touch either by phone or email. We worked closely with Lori his wedding coordinator who answered any questions we had leading up until the day of which was nice! The day before the wedding we met with Don who went over everything that would happen and what we would expect as well as walked us through the rehearsal. The day of the wedding, Don and his team was amazing. Don was with us through everything and made sure things started on time and people were where they needed to be. Dons wife, Maria, was also great. She redid my makeup probably 5 times before we found something I liked - she absolutely made sure I loved my hair and make up. The rest of Dons staff and bartenders were also great, very friendly and helpful!

We celebrated our marriage in April of 2023 at The Barn at Whitney's Farm. Don and his team were great. We had over 100 guests. Throughout the entire weekend, our guests became familiar with the dedicated staff. The food was delicious each day, and the breakfast was a nice touch for the morning after the wedding. The wedding was flawless. We stayed on schedule, and everything was beyond our expectations. Great location. Jackson is a great mountain town with food, shops, and views that can't be found anywhere else in New England.

We got married at the Barn at Whitney's Farm in February 2023. The wedding was absolutely amazing. The venue was dreamy, as our ceremony was outside surrounded by falling snow. The reception was in a stunning old barn that barely required decoration as it is naturally gorgeous, and the food was delicious! That said, the best part was the service. The staff were attentive, kind, hardworking and fun. The whole event went smoothly, everyone had the best time. Our family and friends all stayed in the inn and found their experience very comfortable. We highly recommend this venue!! Best day of our lives :)

We can’t thank Don and his amazing staff enough for an amazing wedding weekend! They were so accommodating the entire weekend and everyone was so friendly. With changes in temperature, Don was able to make it all work! Everything went smoothly and as expected as Don was great and there every step of the way. Leading up to the event, everyone was great with communication and answering our questions. We truly can’t recommend Whitney’s Inn enough as your wedding venue as they truly are a family there. We look forward to going back to stay and eat at the Shovel Handle as the food is out of this world. Everyone loved the food and buffet!

The moment we toured Whitney's Inn we knew that it was the venue for us. My husband and I got married there at the end of September and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful weekend. Our closest friends and family stayed at the Inn with us which made the weekend that much more special. We were married in the outdoor wooded space in front of the stone fireplace and it was truly like something from a fairytale. Don was so helpful the entire weekend making sure that we were taken care of and that everything went according to plan. The food is to die for, we can't wait to make a trip back up next year to visit and dine again. If you are looking for a venue that has it all, look no further than Whitney's.

Whitney’s inn is a magical place set in the heart of the white mountains. We felt like we were in a dream. Don and his amazing staff went above and beyond to make this truly the best day ever. Everyone was prompt, kind, professional and down to earth. Everything went off without a hitch. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left everything was top notch. The food was fantastic, all of our guests said it was perfectly intimate, thoughtful, organized and above all fun! We wish we could do it all over again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I can’t rave about Don, Maria, and the entire Whitney’s Inn staff enough! Everyone was so helpful and friendly the entire weekend. They made sure everything was taken care of, even our crazy friends and families’ last minute changes and requests. Maria’s salon is the perfect space for the bridesmaids to hang out and get ready and we used one of the cabins for the groomsmen. And, the food at the SHP is incredible! All of our guests commented on how wonderful their dinner was. Plus, everyone on the staff was just so friendly! Willing to help with anything and always smiling. 12/10!

We couldn’t have asked for a better Wedding Weekend! The staff at Whitney’s Inn was absolutely amazing. Don is so on top of everything, and he made the wedding process so easy and fun with practically zero stress. It was so perfect having our wedding party and immediate family staying right at the Inn. It made it so easy and fun for everyone to be in one spot for the entire weekend. The weekend of our wedding, the weather originally had scattered thunderstorms forecasted for Friday and Saturday, and Don had a contingency plan for any situation! The weather ended up being beautiful, and we didn’t need these, but it was peace of mind knowing he had plans all in place, just in case. He had thought of everything. All the guests raved about the food all weekend. From the pig roast for our rehearsal cookout, to the apps and meals for the reception. Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how impeccable the food was. Maria Claire and Nina were so fun to hangout with in the Salon while we had our hair and make-up done. I had a big bridal party, and they breezed right through everyone. All my girls, and myself, loved how the hair and makeup came out. They did a fantastic job! I grew up skiing next door at Black Mountain, and I always knew I wanted Whitney’s Inn for a venue. It 1,000% surpassed my dreams and expectations. It truly is the perfect, rustic and whimsical spot for a wedding. All of our guests loved how unique and special the spot was for a wedding. Scott and I cannot thank Don, Maria and the rest of the team enough. You guys are the best!

From the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out, Whitney’s Farm (formally known as Whitneys Inn) was absolutely without a doubt amazing. My husband and I were married on 7/16/2022. I had a giant and crazy wedding party, I was at the point where I was stressed and couldn’t handle making anymore decisions and I can’t say it enough… THANK GOD, for DON! Don is the owner of this beautiful inn and he was pretty much my day of coordinator. He handled everything flawlessly, even when deep down some of my guests and wedding party were likely driving him up a wall! All of the staff were amazing!! From crazy Linda on the bar, to Tyler who was serving us our breakfast… there isn’t one bad thing I could say. The food was phenomenal as well! We chose a buffet and did the eggplant rollatini and prime rib- all of our guests were raving about it! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Thank you so much Don, and all of the Whitney’s Farm staff. You made our wedding and entire weekend far beyond perfect! We will absolutely be visiting again!!

We highly recommend Whitney's Inn as a wedding venue. We had our wedding on 7/30/22 and loved every minute of it! We were able to fill the inn with just our wedding guests that weekend so our family and friends were able to meet even before the wedding began. The owner and everyone who works at Whitney's are very friendly and helped us throughout our wedding planning. The food, atmosphere, and staff made Whitney's a special place to hold a wedding. We are still getting comments on what a wonderful time our guests had!

Whitney's Inn is perfectly rustic and scenic. We were able to host our event "off season", which helped immensely with our budget. Since everyone was traveling from afar, It was really nice having our family and friends stay on the property with us, it really helped to solidify the weekend and prevent it from going by so fast! I've worked in food service for the majority of my life, including high end event catering — and the food for the entire weekend was EXCELLENT. Fresh, fast, well made. Friendly and efficient service all around. It really felt like "home" which helps ease the nerves of hosting a wedding!

We had our wedding at Whitneys on 6.18.2022 and LOVED it. We loved having the inn to ourselves with family and friends, it made for a truly perfect wedding weekend! The food and service at our welcome party, reception, and farewell breakfast was exceptional. The staff at the Inn was SO friendly and accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.

We recommend everyone consider Whitney’s Inn at Jackson for their wedding! This past month, our big day (well, big weekend) was celebrated in Whitney’s onsite rustic barn, the Shovel Handle Pub. Our guests didn’t hold back, they loved Whitney’s! After my finance and I engaged in 2020 we embarked on what others have heralded as a stressful and arduous process; the search for a wedding venue. Our search criteria was simple; tasty food, aesthetic and comfortable venue, reasonably priced, and did we mention great food? Fortunately for us, we connected with venue owner/operator Don Bilger early in our search and he helped to make the choice easy. Whitney’s Inn at Jackson was where we wanted to enjoy the wedding rehearsal, ceremony, reception, AND farewell breakfast with 100 of our closest family and friends. During the planning process, Don and his team members Lori and Jennifer were both consultative and responded timely as we orchestrated our wedding weekend: Don helped us to block off rooms both at the venue and locally in greater Jackson NH All of the referrals provided were excellent, from groovy DJ Michael O’Neill to delicious Elvios Pizza for the reception's late night snack salvation He helped our friend become an ordained minister to better embrace an intimate ceremony and much more! We live south of Boston, MA about 3 hours away and many of our guests ventured far and wide to join us. Jennifer and her team hosted a “Welcome Dinner” for 75 guests the night of the rehearsal which gave us the unique opportunity to spend more time with our guests. It was almost like we had (2) weddings in one! Bartenders both nights were friendly, quick to make a well poured cocktail, and made having an open bar fun for all. The afternoon of the wedding day ceremony, mother nature changed her mind only 5 minutes before the walk down the aisle, initially set to take place in the landscaped, wooded area. The Whitney’s Inn staff moved quickly to prepare the alternate, indoor ceremony site and in short order, the space looked beautiful, guests were seated, and we all enjoyed our intimate ceremony. Many of our guests are “foodies” and throughout the night we were told by many that the Whitney's kitchen presented the best wedding fare they have ever had! Do yourselves, and your guests the favor by passing the lamb lollipops and petite crab cakes. We are still in negotiations with Don in an effort for him to share with us the recipe for the steak tips. I expect you will find yourself in the same position! They were incredible. We could trail on about how wonderful Don and the Whitney’s Inn at Jackson team delivered but I encourage you to reach out, tour the site, and see for yourself! Feel free to message us if interested in any additional feedback; Mr. & Mrs. Bell. robertjamesbell212@gmail.com.

This was the first and only venue I looked at. I fell in love as soon as I stepped foot in the venue! Don was extremely helpful and accommodating for any requests. The food was amazing all weekend not only just the night of our wedding.

If your looking for a magical, rustic venue in the mountains (perfect for a destination wedding) you can not go wrong with Whitney’s Inn. It will be everything you want and more! My husband and I were looking at venues near by when one of them recommended Whitney’s Inn and they were SO right!! The only thing better than the beautiful venue is the amazing people!! All of the staff felt like family by the time we left. And they help you plan everything! The space: there is BEAUTIFUL outdoor areas to choose from to get married at. My husband and I chose to have a winter wedding outside with a “Magical Forest” feel, we had a stone fireplace lit with candles and lights in the trees. Our cocktail hour was in the cutest rustic space with a beautiful bar and outdoor area with twinkle lights! And it was so much fun having all our guests staying right there at the hotel. The rooms are these adorable woodsy themed rooms, and there’s suites and cabins with gorgeous fire places! We used the cabins and suites for our bridal and grooms men’s rooms and then the honeymoon suite and it was perfect! But THE BARN is something out of a fairy tale. You essentially need no decorations, it is all decorated beautifully all the time. The levels make you and your guests get closer, it makes perfect spaces for cake cutting, dances, and we used the first floor for a photo booth and our buffet! I will forever get chills every time I walk into that barn! The people: the owner Don is incredible to work with, he’s so flexible and easy to get in touch with. He was also our wedding coordinator day of and made sure everything ran smoothly! He’s even officiated incase you need a JP. All the staff are so laid back and fun to work with. They really made our weekend extra special! Jen was SO helpful in coordinating so many things for us! Not only did she review every wedding detail with us days before and make sure we didn’t miss anything but she also laid out table decoration options for us to choose from, helped coordinate and lay out our rehearsal dinner, and even packed up our cake and put it in the fridge for us for the next day! And a big shout out to our favorite bartender JULIE! But all the staff were truly amazing! Above and beyond: they have a FREE food tasting that you can bring guests to, you sample everything on the menu before choosing your food, and all of the food is amazing! We also had our rehearsal dinner there the night before which was effortless to plan and organize and so delicious! My husband and I and all of our guest have not stopped raving about how much fun we had and how great the food and bar were! I could go on and on about how wonderful this venue is! 1000% recommend!!!

Whitney's Inn far surpassed our expectations. When we visited Whitney's a year ago and met with Don, Jamie and Jeff knew this was where they wanted to get married. Don was so down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and made us feel so comfortable, a true testament of the philosophy Don and his team represent, that it was Jamie and Jeff's wedding and we will create your wedding vision to make your day special! The venue is truly magical...starting with an inn with staff that truly exemplified a warm, professional attitude especially with our constant requests, to the beautiful grounds complete with a stone fireplace and running brook to create their vision of a romantic wedding in the woods, and the reception in the Shovel Handle Pub was amazing, with superb food, great service and it complimented everything Jamie and Jeff were hoping for! Don's attention to detail is remarkable. There were so many moving parts, as well all know with weddings, and Don and his team were there every step of the way. Everyone had such a great time, and we are still receiving compliments on what a wonderful wedding this was. I would highly recommend Whitney's Inn for a wedding, and any other events type of events, i.e. showers, reunions, anniversary or birthday parties, etc. Thank you for making Jamie and Jeff's wedding day the best day ever!

This is the most beautiful location for a wedding. Don and his staff are amazing. They assisted with every detail to make our wedding absolutely perfect. The food was also delicious all of our guests raved about the food. Best wedding ever!

I cannot find the words to describe how incredible this venue is! Don is amazing at running weddings! I knew when I first looked at the Whitney's Inn that I loved the venue, the woods, the Shovel Handle, and the fact that our guests could take over the whole inn for the weekend. Don made everything so easy to plan and coordinate and was great to work with when we had to postpone because of Covid. My bridesmaids and I utilized the salon downstairs and Maria and Nina were a dream to work with (and they worked miracles on all of us!) My wedding was perfect from start to finish and I cannot think of anything I would have done differently. The pig roast welcome dinner kicked off the weekend with lots of fun and the food was delicious! We have had so many guests tell us it was the most fun they had ever had! I wish I could go back and relive every second! I highly recommend the Whitney's Inn and working with Don and Maria!

We had the best wedding weekend at Whitney’s! The staff were wonderful and truly made the whole weekend go so smoothly. I felt all the weight lifted off my shoulders knowing they had it under control! Such a great spot with several separate “venues” - a BBQ area for the rehearsal dinner, beautiful wooded ceremony site, classy patio cocktail hour, rustic barn/pub reception, fire pit after party, and dining room for breakfast on Sunday morning! The food was amazing - steak tips were delicious. Plenty of room for guests to stay overnight and experience the whole weekend with us. We are happy to be a Whitney’s couple and can’t wait to go back to stay for our anniversaries in the future :).

I've known for the past 5 years that I wanted to get married at Whitney's Inn. I searched other venues online, but the moment we toured the property I didn't even want to look at other venues. The food was THE BEST food I've ever had at a wedding, and many of the guests agreed. It was so special being able to share the whole inn for 3 days with all of our closest family and friends. The inn and grounds are so beautiful. We can't wait to go back soon and eat at the pub and stay the night.

If you are looking for a rustic style wedding - look no further! Whitney’s is the most beautiful, relaxed, and affordable venue! We loved how the whole weekend, we did not have to leave the inn and could have each event throughout the weekend at different locations on the property! They have a hair salon onsite which is also super convenient and they do a great job. We loved having the Inn to ourselves for the weekend as we were able to take over the whole Inn with just our guests! Not only is the venue & location beautiful, but the staff are genuine, hard working, and actually care about making your day perfect. Don, the owner, works hands on during your wedding to make sure it all goes smoothly. Also the food is delicious!! Highly recommend!

From the moment we stepped into Whitney’s Inn, we absolutely loved the feel of the venue and the friendliness of the staff. Don was fantastic at responding quickly and at working with us (and our many questions) and preparing for the day. Between Don, Joe, Dana, Lori, and Jennifer everything was handled very well, making it much easier for us to plan our wedding. The weekend went so smoothly, everyone enjoyed themselves, and our guests can’t stop raving about the absolutely delicious food! We could not have asked for a better wedding weekend and it’s all because of the wonderful people at Whitney’s Inn! Thank you so incredibly much. Jade and Caleb Loiselle

Such a beautiful and great place for a wedding. Don and the entire staff made sure the day ran so smoothly, and if there were any issues, I never knew about them! I cant thank the staff enough for their hard work on our wedding weekend. I can not wait to return to Whitney's Inn to celebrate our anniversaries.

We just got married at Whitney's last week and all of my guests have been saying that it was one of the most fun weddings they've been to! The food was delicious, the venue is gorgeous, and the staff is so accommodating and helpful to make sure everything goes smoothly! We were able to get married at 4 and stay at the reception until midnight and then have a fire behind one of the cabins afterwards. It made the night not feel rushed and over so soon like some other venues that kick you out around 9. Their recommendations for vendors were fabulous and it was nice that they were already so familiar with the venue. Don and Jennifer were so easy to communicate with and were so helpful in planning our day. It was such a special weekend (we spent friday-sunday morning at their sister inn The Inn at Jackson which is right down the road and also beautiful) we will be sure to come back to visit!

There isn't a single bad thing I could say about Don and his entire crew at Whitney's. We got married there on July 13 and had the entire place to ourselves and our guests the whole weekend. When we started our search we originally planned to stay close to home (we live about 40 miles north of Boston) but found that every venue we went to was lacking in something.... atmosphere... amenities... food... the price tag... we searched everywhere... and we almost put a deposit down on a place near home just to be done with the search - as it gets so exhausting. But a coworker of mine who'd gotten married at Whitney's suggested we just go up to Jackson as a last ditch look and oh boy are we glad we did. We got married in the wooded area across from the Inn. It was THE PICTURE of wooded fairyland that I had in my head the entire planning process. The staff are INCREDIBLE each and every single one of them. Don (the owner) is a wedding master mind and made us feel so comfortable and at ease through the entire process. And we spent a FRACTION of what we would have for a "one night only" affair back at home. If I could rate Whitney's at 10 stars I would. Leaving on Sunday after brunch I actually wept - pleading with Father Time to go back 72 hours so we could do it all again. Do yourselves a huge favor and go check them out. All our love Don and everyone at Whitney's, Sarah and Paul Higgins

Don and his staff were amazing! Our wedding day was perfect. Our guests raved about everything from the rooms, to the food, to the setting. I highly recommend Whitney’s Inn as a wedding venue.

We had our daughter’s wedding at Whitney’s Inn and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! Don and all of his staff were fantastic. We had family coming from all over the country and completely took over the Inn. We had an outdoor ceremony with the reception in the pub. The day went off without any problems, the food was amazing and everyone had a great time! I can, without hesitation, recommend this venue. They far exceeded our expectations!

We first visited this venue and fell in love with the "home" feeling they provide. They were very easy to work with, responsive and had an answer for everything. Day of went very smoothly from start to finish. The team here has clearly done their fair share of weddings (hundreds, if not thousands) and have the routine down perfectly so we had NO worries. Overall, a wonderful experience working with Don and his team for our big day!

We were so happy with our Whitney's Inn wedding this November. It was a beautiful setting and the woodland ceremony area was so perfect for us. Don and his team made everything easy and seamless. Of all the times we have traveled to the White Mountains we can't believe we hadn't experienced the Shovel Handle Pub before but we plan on going back to visit every time we're in Jackson. We absolutely love it there!

We picked Whitney’s because of its beautiful NH mountain location but what we ended up with on our wedding weekend was so much more. Don and the whole staff made us feel like family and all of our friends and family felt so welcome. The staff at Whitney’s think ahead for every detail and everything is a well oiled machine in addition our friends and family will likely be talking about the food for years to come! Brides can feel a lot of stress and concern for their day. I can say for sure I did not I trusted everything to Whitney’s and they did not disappoint.

As we are recently married, my husband and I continue to get the question: "Was your wedding all that you thought it would be?" And we can answer, without a moment of hesitation, that it was so much better than we ever could have imagined. Whitney's Inn and Shovel Handle Pub will forever hold a very special place in our hearts- the rustic setting, incredible food, compassionate staff really made our experience amazing! I am a very detail oriented person and I can honestly say that Don and his staff out did me. Any time I thought, oh! we need to set this up or we need to make sure this special accommodation is made for a guest- Don and his staff were already on it! They work together as a team and pay attention to the little things. The setting (inside and out) is both unique and magical. The entire staff at Whitney's Inn is nothing short of spectacular- not only are they great at what they do, but they are kind and friendly and willing to go out of their way to make it happen! A Whitney's Inn wedding is a one of a kind gig and we are so grateful to have experienced it!!

Don't search any further for your wedding venue... this is the perfect and I mean PERFECT wedding venue. It has been 7 days since my wedding and I am still wishing I could go back to that amazingly perfect day! I can only hope that brides can experience all that I encountered here at Whitney's Inn and the Shovel Handle Pub. From the ceremony which was outside entwined with birch trees, a gently flowing brook, the birds chirping and nature at it's best, to the amazing helpful and accommodating staff from front desk to waitstaff all professional and helpful to the food... can I say OH MY GOD... the guests can not stop talking about how wonderful the food was. I kept hearing that wedding food is not always that great but this food is beyond good! I served Prime Rib and Rosemary Chicken and believe me I wish I had the recipe... amazing. After a perfect ceremony and then the perfect reception we all headed over to the fire pit for some more S'more fun! Seriously I can not put to words my satisfaction. As a bride who wished for a fairy tale wedding... the Whitney's Inn and Shovel Handle Pub gave me just that... a Fairy Tale Wedding! You don't have to go to Florida or California to have your Fairy Tale... just go to Jackson and the Whitney's Inn! AMAZING!

Choosing Whitney's Inn & the Shovel Handle Pub as the location for our wedding was the easiest decision we made. It was the only place my (now) husband and I toured! We fell in love the first time we visited- the location was perfect, the scenery beautiful, and even on that first visit the staff were so helpful and friendly! We loved the fact that everything could be done on site, and that our guests could stay right there at the Inn or sister Inn (The Inn at Jackson). Don was extremely helpful throughout the whole process, offering us tips and was flexible in making sure our day was exactly as we pictured and ran smoothly. Although he wasn't there for our actual wedding day, his staff stepped right up and did an outstanding job ensuring our day was perfect!! Because we held our wedding in April during the Inn's off-season (which saved us a decent amount of money- thanks Don for the Spring Wedding Sale!), the Inn was basically only open for our wedding and our guests, so we had complete access to the grounds and the staff were so accommodating and trusting. They even let my husband and I stay an extra night after the wedding as a mini honeymoon, which gave us some time to collect ourselves, get organized, and enjoy the Jackson area before making the trek home. Honestly, everything about this venue was amazing- the food, the location, and the staff made our big day unforgettable. We couldn't have chosen a better venue. We highly recommend Whitney's Inn!!

The entire weekend was amazing. The location, the food, the staff amazing. The owner is very down to earth and flexible. I highly recommend this venue!

This is the most amazing venue. They are true experts. I was not stressed at all planning me wedding, I trusted Don and his staff fully. Lori was amazing too! The food was out of this world, the staff was nothing short of spectacular. They do not nickel and dime you. Everyone had an amazing time and . This venue is super accommodating and amazing. I am not sure why you would chose to get married anywhere else. If I could do it all over again, I would not change a thing!

The Whitney's Inn was the perfect venue to host our special day. We originally wanted the fall wedding, but a March winter wedding was so much better! The Woodland outdoor ceremony was beyond a fairy-tale. The staff is a family and they are so intentional with their work. Our wedding weekend far exceeded our expectations! Thank you for being a part of our special day, we cannot wait to return to visit!

Whitney's Inn was absolutely the best place for a wedding! Don and all the staff are all so wonderful and accommodating. They really do their best to make all your wishes a reality and make the Inn and Pub feel like your own home for the weekend. All of our family and friends commentated on how great the venue was and what a relaxed and fun filled wedding weekend we had due to all the staff and amazing venue. We can't say enough about how happy we are that we chose Whitney's Inn for our wedding and we will forever be grateful that we did! If your looking for a beautiful, charming and rustic setting where you can have all your family and friends stay for the weekend to celebrate the best day of your life, then this is the place!!! Not only is the venue amazing, there are multiple options for the ceremony site, the food is outstanding and pricing is very reasonable. We would absolutely recommend having your wedding here, you won't regret it!!!

We are so glad that we had our wedding weekend at Whitney's Inn. They were so flexible and accommodating and let us customize everything to make the weekend special for us and our guests. All of our guests felt very well taken care of at the Inn and we got endless compliments on the food at the Shovel Handle Pub.

My fondest wedding planning memory is how my husband's face lit up when he saw the inside of the barn at Whitney's. I knew we found a place we weren't just agreeing on, but loved! We had several tours booked with other venues, saw Whitney's, and cancelled them all. What makes this venue stand out above others is it's capacity to provide a whole wedding weekend with family and friends beyond the event itself. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception there which made things less stressful for us and easy on our guests. From being able to share breakfasts together in the morning and bonfires at night, it was great making memories and being able to have time with our guests. Additionally, Don and his staff made us feel like family and were very accommodating. Whitney's will always hold a special place in our hearts! It's a place I can see us coming back to visit for years!

Don and his crew did an absolutely amazing job. Picking this venue was the best decision I could have made. They made planning the wedding so much easier than I could have imagined. The day of our wedding they made everything stress free! From putting out the decorations for us in the most beautiful way, to making sure we were all where we needed to be at all times.. it made for the most wonderful day! And the FOOD! Probably one of the best meals I have ever had! In the evening, one of our guests dropped a wine glass on the floor and they had it gleaned up so fast I didn't even notice it happened. The guest who dropped it told me about it! I had the most perfect fall wedding thanks to them!

Cannot say enough good things about this venue. BOOK IT! We found this venue from attending a friends wedding and we hope someday someone from our wedding gets married there too! The Whitney's Inn staff are professional, accommodating, and an absolute pleasure to work with. The entire wedding planning process from start to finish was a breeze. Don, the owner, runs the show as your day of wedding coordinator, he was flexible and gave us the direction we needed. And boy, trying to coordinate and mobilize an entire wedding party is like trying to herd a bunch of cats, but he did it with ease and a smile on his face. I am happy to say that all the vendors they recommended were wonderful to work with as well. The wedding weekend went off with out a hitch. The grounds were beautiful and it feel like it was our home. The fire pit is a wonderful amenity. We loved having our guests stay onsite. No one would had to get behind the wheel after the festivities which was a relief and a blast. It was great for everyone wake up in the morning and congregate in the dinning room for breakfast at their leisure. We got married in the woodland ceremony site and it was AMAZING. Our guest keep remarking about what a magical ceremony we had and it was so unique and like no one else's! The barn is a PERFECT back drop for pictures. There is not much you have do to do inside site to make it nice- all the twinkle lights inside are amazing. Love the different levels of the barn; there are some great vantage points. Now lets talk about the highlight of my weekend....THE STEAK TIPS. All of the food was amazing, from apps to dinner, but the steak tips are the best you'll ever have. You cannot not go wrong with these. We even stayed Sunday night and went back to the Pub for more steak tips :) Anyways , the entire pub staff are great. They are hard workers and its obviously they really care about what they do. My husband and I can't wait to go back to the Whitney's Inn and Shovel handle Pub.

We had our wedding this passed weekend at Whitney's Inn and I must say we had a blast. This was the second venue we looked at in our search and the owner Don had us "sold" immediately. Don and his staff were wonderful and very accommodating. The food was absolutely wonderful; our guests had nothing but positive things to say. I highly recommend this venue.

There isn't one thing we would change having our wedding at Whitney's Inn. It was perfect. Everything went so smoothly and it truly was our dream wedding. The staff and Don were wonderful. So accommodating to every request. We had a great time at not only our wedding but also within the few days after. We stayed up there with some family and enjoyed every minute.

My husband and I got married at Whitney's Inn June 2017. Lori, the wedding coordinator was very helpful throughout the process (she is not actually there on the wedding day). Right when Brian and I checked in, we felt very welcomed and the staff was so friendly. We were able to enjoy the whole weekend and not worry about a thing. The staff took care of everything and it all went off without a hitch. We hired someone to play live music during the ceremony and while setting up he realized there was no power, and Don the owner went right out to turn it on. He kept checking in with my husband and I to make sure we had a drink and to make sure we had everything we needed. Our guest had a great time and they are still talking about it! The food was amazing! We would highly recommend this venue!

I cannot recommend the Whitney's strongly enough! Everything was magical down to the last detail. They really understood our wish for a casual wedding and were so accommodating not just with our seating setup (adding an additional table on the 4th floor so we could all sit in the same area) but also with our wish for no alcohol to be served (even going so far as to use a table cloth to cover that part of the bar). Don was absolutely fantastic answering all my questions and being very understanding when I got busy at work and was late on numbers and details and whatnot. Our wedding was odd in that I needed to shower between the ceremony and reception (I had just climbed the face of Cathedral Ledge) and they were so understanding, leaving wraps and snacks in the room where I was showering and a bottle of martinellie's on ice. The food... oh my god the food! GET THE BEEF TIPS!!! Also the eggplant parmesan!!! Everything that came out of that kitchen blew me away! They had everything prepared, even things that I didn't think about. They did set up of the centerpieces (I did my own but wasn't there to set them up since I was busy that morning) and made room for my family and friends at the sister inn (the inn at Jackson). We were the second wedding that weekend so we weren't able to stay at the Whitney's inn but the sister in is right down the road and they blocked off all the rooms there for us. If you are looking for a relaxed, magical venue where they really take care of you and make your day perfect then this is your spot! They even were prepared to set up the ceremony inside at the last minute in case it rained and we couldn't have it where we wanted to! I could go on for another hour on how perfect it was but I'll leave it here and just say that I couldn't have asked for a better team or place to have my reception!

"Best wedding we have ever been to!" ,"A mini vacation", and "perfection" Is how our guests described our wedding at Whitney's Inn. I cannot express how happy my husband and I are a week after our wedding at Whitney's Inn. Don and his staff were extremely accommodating and pleasant to work with. We booked out the entire inn as well as Jackson Inn for our wedding. We had a tent reception and then what we call a 'party in the barn'. The staff made the night run very smoothly and exactly how we wanted it. I would recommend this venue to anyone that wants an elegant, rustic wedding with a relaxed and fun feel.

My husband and I decided to hold our ceremony and reception at Whitneys for our February wedding. While we had hoped to have our ceremony outside at the woodland ceremony site, the weather didn't cooperate and we ended up holding it inside. Don and the staff switched gears with ease and made the inside just as beautiful as I would have hoped. Don was so laid back and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I had so many compliments from guests on how picturesque the setting was. I can't thank everyone enough at Whitneys Inn and the Shovel Handle Pub for putting on a great party!

This was the first venue we checked out. After getting a tour of Whitney's Inn & the Pub with Don, we knew we had found our place! Our wedding was on November 26, 2016. It had just snowed the day before and the grounds looked so beautiful with the fresh coat of snow. We could not have chosen a more perfect venue. It was rustic & elegant. Simply perfection. Don and his staff made this day so stress free and easy going. They took care of everything and we were able to relax and enjoy our day. We also loved that at Whitney's Inn, everyone attending the wedding can stay right on site, they have rooms, cabins and suites to rent -- (No drinking and driving!) I 100% recommend Whitney's Inn & Shovel Handle Pub for a wedding venue!

We loved hosting our wedding with Whitney's Inn. It's so much more than a wedding venue - it's really a lasting experience. Don and his team make you feel like family, and that graciousness extends before and after your big day. We can't wait to go back! From the first tour we took on the property, to the tasting (where "wedding alumni" come back for a weekend getaway), to our wedding weekend, to their follow up post event… we felt unbelievably secure in our decision to work with Don. I alone must have had a thousand questions and called at least 30 times - the team was patient, helpful, and professional with each correspondence. They worked with us to outline each and every detail of our big day - setting up the venue in perfect alignment to our vision. The staff was incredible. Like most weddings we had a wide spectrum of personalities, and the team helped us ensure that everyone had fun without getting into any trouble. They did this with minimal interference and no added stress to us (the bride and groom). In my opinion, a wedding is all about the details, and no one does that better than this venue! We had handmade complimentary cookies upon check in, welcome bags for each guest waiting in rooms, a bonfire each night including at our welcome BBQ by the pond, live music at the pub on Friday before our wedding (which was extended upon the groom's father's request), a perfect "fairy like" woodland setting next the babbling creek for our ceremony, gorgeous cocktail hour outside the Inn and Barn, a night filled with dancing and fun at our reception, and an incredibly delicious brunch send-off. We were able to create this personalized and very full wedding weekend "experience" for less than a single night at other venues, and we didn't have to compromise on anything. The food was on point - the staff ensured we got to experience it despite the hustle and bustle of the day, and the steak was out of this world! A guest was never without a beverage. The music was perfect. The ceremony was well-coordinated and clear for each participant including vendors (which after being a bridesmaid in a few weddings, I know is challenging). And most importantly, everyone had fun!!! There were no absurd rules or hidden costs - Everyone raved about the experience, and we literally can't wait to return. Jackson is a perfectly quaint New England town, and Whitney's Inn does everything possible to accentuate Jackson's natural magic. It was a perfect wedding experience, and we'd recommend it to any couple. In fact, our guests have already recommended it to their engaged friends - they must want to come back to Whitney just as much as we do!

We only looked at one place for our August 2016 wedding - Whitney's Inn! It had everything we wanted - a place where all of our friends and family could stay together for a whole weekend, great food, a beautiful outdoor ceremony site, and a unique reception area. Don and his team helped us have the exact wedding we wanted! The food was outstanding and their customer service was personal, thoughtful and helpful at every turn. It looked like it would rain for our ceremony and Don let me have both the indoor and outdoor sites set up so I could wait until the last possible moment to make the call - lucky for us, the weather cleared for an hour so we could be outside. I felt like I didn't have to worry about the details once the wedding weekend began because Don and his team would take care of it all! Thank you, Whitney's Inn, for making our wedding the best and most memorable weekend of our lives! - Beth and Chris Little

We loved everything about Whitney's. We lucked out and snagged Columbus Day Weekend after two other couples had to forfeit their big day... turned out to be PEAK foliage and the weather miraculously was gorgeous. But enough bragging. Don is a real guy. From the start, I didn't feel pressured at all to book with him. He tells it like it is, gives the facts and doesn't go above and beyond to shmooze like some wedding coordinators we met with. Although he has a more hands off approach, the day of he was there for everything we needed and more. For us, the hands off approach by the staff was wonderful. It felt as if we had the entire property to ourselves for the weekend. Yet, everything was done without us having to ask. I had imagined my groomsmen running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to get all of the decorations and signs in place, but Don had the staff take care of everything. We were very unconventional in nearly everything about our wedding. Don and Lorrie gave their expert opinions, and I usually went against it.. and they still supported my wishes 100% and made sure my crazy ideas worked out; even if it meant running a mic from the ceremony site to the cocktail hour to the dinner tent to the reception in the barn, just so I could make various announcements. AND THE FOOD! People are still commenting on how delicious it was. I was skeptical to have a buffet, but I'm so happy I did. The tasting alone had me hooked, but for me having people enjoy their meal is super important, and Whitney's definitely knows how to serve. They were SO flexible and helpful with every single aspect of our big day, I wouldn't have changed a thing and I wish I could relive the weekend over and over. Highly recommended for those who wish to indulge in the beauty of nature, a few steps from the beaten path, without all of the super poof and sparkly fairytale BS that some wedding venues try to push. At Whitney's you have your wedding played out your way, any way, and the staff goes above and beyond make it gorgeously unique for you.
