We booked The Read House because it was a little ways away from outdoor venue and a bit more refined for our wedding night. After accidentally locking ourselves out while carrying/...
being carried over the threshold and getting new keys (oops), we had a perfect evening. Friendly staff and beautiful decor. A very classy feel.

The Read House Historic Inn & Suites oozes vintage charm and fit our wedding style perfectly. The Silver Ballroom, where we had our ceremony and reception, is absolutely stunning. ...
Most of the guests are still commenting about how it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had attended, and the venue played a large part in this experience. The event manager on site is amazing and worked with me from start to finish. He was incredibly detail-oriented and made sure that everything was fabulous and exactly what we wanted.
