We got married here 3 weeks ago and it was truly the best day, it felt so seamless and perfect. Lauren was amazing to work with, she helped to do all the set up and coordinate our ...
day. Leading up to the wedding she was so helpful in answering my many questions and planning ideas and I could not thank her enough for all the amazing and hard work she does. The Railroad House team on our wedding day was so kind and helpful, it helped allow for all our family to be present in the day and not have to worry about set up or tear down. The food was amazing and was restaurant quality which often you don’t see at weddings. The different areas between the ceremony space, tent, carriage house, and patio all allowed for different areas for guests to be in which I have continued to hear about how much people loved the areas of the venue even after our day. The venue is the perfect space to have 80 guests or so, it did not feel crowded under the tent for our dinner with that amount of guests. The Railroad House allowed for an intimate wedding feel but still allowing different areas for guests to be, and every area of the venue is so beautiful. Working with Lauren as coordinator and having a venue that covered catering, linens, tableware, chairs, bar service, catering staff, and also rehearsal dinner space all helped make me feel so comfortable and confident in how the day would go. I truly believe this venue and all that is offered helped me feel so calm on the day with everything I had planned being in their hands and allowed me to be fully present and not have to worry about anything, and I will forever be grateful to everyone who works here for that. I will be highly recommending this spot to anyone in need of a wedding venue. I could not have imagined getting married anywhere else , it was truly so perfect and everything meant so much to me. And the best part is being able to go to the restaurant on anniversaries now where we got married to celebrate in the same space. Thank you to the entire team at Railroad House, for allowing such a special day and for everyone in my family and myself to be able to just be present and enjoy the whole day, which means the most to me. & If something had went wrong- I sure couldn’t tell! Amazing place, amazing people. Thank you!

My husband and I both loved the Railroad House. Lauren was attentive and helped answer my million questions and we also hired her as a day of coordinator and I will say I was a lot...
more relaxed than I thought I would be. Everyone complimented the excellent food and location. We had just under 70 people and I do think it would be too crowded if you're planning for 80 or more. The venue was beautiful and the hotel rooms were adorable.
Any questions?

My experience was top of the line. We hired Lauren as our Wedding Coordinator. It is well worth paying to have a wedding coordinator. From day one till the day after the wedding La...
uren was there for all my needs. It was nice to not to have to worry about set up as she did it all for us. It was beautifully done. Lauren did an excellent job! The bartender Angie was awesome as she made sure the groom and I were taken care of with food and drinks. The Carriage House was just the place to have a small intimate wedding. We had 25 guests who just raved about the venue. For the ceremony (it was raining off and on)Lauren kept in touch with me right until the ceremony time to see if it would be inside the tent or outside. We had to move it inside and it was beautiful. Lauren did a great job.
All in all I would highly recommend the Railroad House for your wedding.

My wedding experience with railroad house inn was less than stellar. Leading up to the day Lauren was super attentive answering questions via email, and when we sat down a month to...
the day concerns were addressed. We agreed on a timeline and layout, everything looked and sounded great. We did not opt to pay the additional money for the day of coordinator because the wedding was small and I was assured that I didn't need it and Lauren would make sure things started smoothly that morning. Well that day came when my husband arrived at 9:30 no one was around to even speak to until after 11am. When I arrived at 10am for my bridal suite, I was calling for someone and calling out Lauren's name making my way up to the bridal suite, where another lady came down saying she wasn't done and needed 20/30s mins. We didn't have that with my early wedding. We asked can we start hair and make up while you finish the room, she agreed but wasn't happy about it. making me feel as if I was a nuisance. There's a lot more details but I'm shortening it here. We lost about 30 mins of time for pictures and getting ready due to this and the room not being set up. She didn't fully clean it or wipe Down that we could see or even fill toilet paper in the bathroom. While this is going on another gentleman who works for RRI was asked a question by my Dj of where he could set up and was rudely told. I'm not your day of point of contact. Food arrived 15 minutes late. My aunt was trying to get me something to eat and was rudely snapped at that he or the woman would Dismiss us to get food and that we don't just start. I have a medical condition and just need something to help me. With my small guest count the food should have still been hot, for everyone and more than half my guests said their food was cold. They were also supposed to have food on the opposite end of the room so that me and my husband could eat without someone talking to us the whole time and instead the food line was right next to the sweetheart table. There were concerns prior to the wedding day of a few family members being cut off which they needed to be and my photographer was told no either everyone can drink or they should close the bar because they didn't see an issue with the family member in question, who later admitted they were very under the influence. The final straw for me is I had the rental from 9:30 to 7pm. They allowed 3 strangers to just walk Into the barn during my time. Yes we were ending but we were ending earlier. The lady told me oh I'm sorry I never thought they would just walk in. I felt like a nuisance the entire day and everything felt off. The setting was beautiful, everything else left a lot to be desired. I wish there was more communication day of. I also sent my concerns via email and have been ignored so now I'm writing about my experience. Many Brides had great weddings here but this was my experience. I was a covid bride so this was my chance at a do over wedding with my family. Just wish things went differently

I would give the Railroad House Inn 10/5 stars if I could. We had our wedding at the Inn, and from start to finish, it was a superb experience. Pricing is reasonable, the venue is ...
romantic and quaint, and the food is fabulous. Above all, the staff at the Inn made the event a standout experience. Every single person we encountered was warm, sincere, and genuinely wanted us and our guests to have a good time. Several staff even told my husband and I how much they enjoyed working our wedding! My only regret is that I can't get married again, because I would choose the Inn over and over again.
A special shoutout to the event coordinator, Lauren, who is fabulous and made sure everything ran smoothly from planning to execution. Lauren strikes the perfect balance of being attentive and focused on details, while also being delightfully low-key and not overbearing at all. She is 100% worth hiring as a coordinator - the day of our wedding, she did everything from cutting fresh greenery for the tables to pinning the bustle under. my dress when the hook broke during cocktail hour. She even made sure my husband and I had hors d'oeuvres set aside for us while we were taking photos so that we could enjoy the food we'd picked out.
A quick side note - the rooms are a bit loud at night due to the trains that go by, but they do provide earplugs! Most guests used earplugs or noise-canceling headphones and experienced minimal interruption, but it may be worth mentioning to any guests sensitive to noise.

We would hands down recommend this establishment to anyone looking to get married! Everything about our wedding day was perfect. The grounds are lovely. The food is amazing. Our gu...
ests could not stop raving about it. The drinks are great. The staff is kind and attentive. There is parking available which is a huge plus. There are rooms to stay at so you and your guests don’t have to worry about driving. There’s an air conditioned carriage house with a bar, a large tent, and grassy areas for everyone to roam around and enjoy their time. It’s walking distance to other bars (including McCleary’s) that you can go to afterwards if you want to continue your night. The owner Joey is absolutely amazing. Lauren is phenomenal and is so helpful. All of their staff is seriously the best. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married.

I can’t say enough good things about this venue! The staff are amazing and helpful. The spaces available are all gorgeous. We were lucky enough to have dancing inside the beautifu...
l carriage house and fire pits outside for people to hang out that weren’t dancers. They’re super helpful with figuring out setup and food, and were very responsive to my many questions I had along the way.
I have no regrets about choosing this place and highly recommend using this venue!
