The Settlers Inn

e food and grounds are incredible. In a way this was a bit of a destination wedding- we wanted an intimate affair so we took over the inn for the weekend and were thrilled to have that time to introduce and blend our friends and family. This is a place we all will continue to retreat to, together or individually as couples- the food and accommodation are worth a trip on their own. But the wedding was perfect. The Mother of the Groom hosted the rehearsal dinner nearby at the Boiler Room at Ledges, which was fantastic because we were able to enjoy the beef stroganoff again (which we fell in love with during the tasting but ultimately went with the steak with chimichurri- do it- almost every guest had it and LOVED it). The waterfalls also provided an incredible backdrop for our pictures (you know it's a win when your guests all change their profile picture to reflect that night). As far as the wedding is concerned, Jenn and her team were great. And our guests even commented on the friendliness of the hotel reservation staff (so they had a positive experience before they even arrived). I was a little concerned that maybe we were not on the same page because I did not receive frequent updates from the Inn, but it turns out, I didn't need any. They were ready for us with our cake preferences when we came up for a tasting (can't believe how incredible the carrot cake was the night of- it's going to be our "thing" now), and a week out, Jenn had it. Perfectly calm, already coordinating with our vendors (Frankie Carll and Froggy's Garden), and awaiting our final head count. The day of went off without a hitch, and Jenn even helped distract and involve a reluctant flower fairy who was having a meltdown. We can't recommend this venue highly enough. It's perfect one-stop shopping. There were no surprises, our guests were in raptures over the food and beauty of the grounds, and we have a beautiful retreat for our anniversary escapes. If you want an intimate romantic wedding where you can actually spend time enjoying your guests, this is the place (50-65 guests is about perfect). We can't wait to go back.

riate and intimate for our small wedding of 55 guests. We couldn't have asked for more as far as food, hotel staff, and aesthetics are concerned. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride who wants a personalized, small, and easy-going wedding with everything done on site. My only warning to my fellow brides would be that there are frequent changes in staffing for the wedding coordinators. The woman I worked with all year was in fact not the person who actually coordinated on the day of, which lead to some miscommunications and disorganization. I don't want any of that to reflect poorly upon Settler's Inn, as it an issue separate from the wonderful hotel staff. Settler's Inn could not have been more perfect, and our final bill was actually vastly under the budget that had been estimated. The staff worked with us along the way to accomodate our needs, and I am so thankful to have had my special day at this wonderfully unique venue.

l over, and everyone was so impressed by the quality of the event. It was fun, felt personal, and a classy event. You could not beat their prices, for such a wonderful experience. It was a treasure that I was so happy to find.
