Over the course of the succeeding decades, the property grew in size and stature.

Now a historic landmark, the venue is a byword for hospitality and sophistication in the community.
Visitors to the Inn will be struck by its atmosphere of homely comfort. Thick wooden ceiling beams give a sense of solidity and protection. This is a building that dates back to a period when buildings were intended to endure. A stone fireplace offers a cheerful gathering place and is a stalwart defender against the winter cold. The Absegami Room, flanked by rows of windows, is bathed in natural light. The Leeds Room is ideal for more intimate gatherings. The low, soft lights are wonderful exemplars of the refinement of early America. Outside, the Courtyard offers a perfect setting for a picturesque ceremony. The trees and flowers provide a lovely frame for the happy couple.

The venue is pleased to host a variety of wedding services, including: religious and interfaith ceremonies, secular services, elopements, and same-sex marriages.

From the moment we arrived, we knew the Smithville Inn was the perfect place for our wedding. Our gratitude for Amanda, Justine, and Elaina is immeasurable; their responsiveness and attentiveness throughout the planning process and on our wedding day were truly remarkable. Anytime I needed assistance, one of these incredible ladies promptly addressed my concerns and eased my nerves. They went above and beyond in arranging our decorations and accommodating all our preferences, making the experience, from day one through our wedding day, seamless and stress-free.
We opted for the buffet dinner, and the food exceeded all expectations. With a wide variety of abundant and delicious options, our guests are still raving about the food. Being nestled in the village and staying on-site added a charming "destination weekend" feel to our celebration, even though it was close to home. Every detail of the day—and the entire weekend—was simply perfect.

The Smithville Inn made our wedding dreams come true. It was the perfect combination of elegance and rustic. I had very specific instructions on how to decorate the reception room and the tables to which they followed to the “T” and made everything look perfect. Everyone loved the food as well! (The cocktail hour sliders and Brie crusting was a favorite and we did the shrimp and scallops, stuffed chicken and filet mignon.) Everything was delicious!

The Smithville Inn was a beautiful place for my husband and I to get married. Elaina is absolute amazing and so attentive! She was so incredibly helpful throughout this whole process :) !
My only warning is to be careful with your family heirlooms. We had my great grandmother’s cake cutter and the box it came in had a handwritten inscription from her. It has been in my family for years and is very special to us as my great grandmother has passed on. For whatever reason the box was thrown away and the cake cutter was thrown, loose, into a box of decorations. I called back and spoke to Amanda to see if we could track down the box and she said she would call me back. I never received a call back and now I’ll never get back my great grandmother’s inscription.

Smithville Inn has a banquet department that handles every detail from arrival to departure. There were separate rooms for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Each room had a magnificent view of the outside areas. Each one of our vendors worked seamlessly with the banquet staff, even though only one of them had prior experience with the Smithville Inn. And the food was excellent.

My husband and I knew we wanted to get married here before we even started looking - Smithville was a beautiful date spot for us as we are local to NJ. I can't recommend this venue any more! The staff is ON POINT, the food is excellent, the venue is GORGEOUS, and the entire location is a charming, romantic get away that everyone raved to us about enjoying for the entire weekend. And for a wedding venue in 2023, this place is reasonably priced. It isn't low-end, but it isn't over the top. I absolutely loved our experience at the Smithville In!!

The most perfect wedding reception venue!! We were looking for something more intimate and unique and were beyond pleased with the Smithville Inn. The room was simply beautiful and has a wall of floor to ceiling windows with a gorgeous view of the the lake. Erin and Amanda were a pleasure to work with and their attention to detail was flawless. I cannot believe how well they made our vision come to be. The vendors they recommended were excellent and were very familiar with the setup and space which made things flow very well. Our guests are still raving about the food and excellent service during the evening, and many stayed onsite at the Colonial Inn and loved their rooms and the easy accessibility to the events of the weekend. Everyone enjoyed walking around the village shops and the casual, relaxed atmosphere. I could not have been more pleased with our experience.

The most amazing wedding venue!!! The grounds are beautiful, every single person at our wedding said something about how amazing the venue was. Erin and Amanda were also amazing and made our wedding day, rehearsal dinner, and planning process go smoothly and error free. The day was perfect, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue. And the food was out of this world!! Over all the perfect day and venue. I cannot say enough good things about the venue and the staff.

The Smithville Inn went above and beyond with our wedding!! Every single detail was perfect and they answered all of my questions super quick. Justine, Erin and Amanda were so friendly and always made me feel confident with how our day was going to turn out. Everyone constantly talks about how great the food at our wedding was and that it was the best they ever had! They accommodated me and my gluten allergy by giving me a custom dinner and putting aside special cocktail hour food for me that I could eat. Every single part of the smithville inn is charming, from when you walk in to the fireplace to the back of the reception with the gorgeous windows with a beautiful view. I couldn’t be happier with our wedding!!

My husband and I got married in December at The Smithville Inn. Smithville is the most incredible place to get married at! We were looking for a unique type of venue that had a more intimate feel. When we first visited Smithville Inn we completely fell in love with it. The banquet staff is excellent. They are extremely down to earth, but 100% know their stuff. They make the process of planning your wedding so simple, but also know how to make sure every single detail is covered and ready for the big day. On our wedding day, we were both extremely calm and present because we knew that everything was in place due to our trusting rapport with the staff. The food, drinks, setting, banquet staff, wait staff was absolutely wonderful and our guests all had the best time! We also loved the fact that they recommended all of our vendors, rehearsal dinner, and guest accommodations. Getting married at Smithville Inn and using the local vendors within the village was the best choice we ever made. We can't wait to continue to make memories by going back to Smithville Inn for dinner on our anniversaries and visiting the village to reminisce on the best day of our lives.

I would book smithville inn over and over again if I could. They are absolutely amazing, I have no complaints. Every question I had they answered and they never made it seem like I was bothering them. Not only is the food some of the best wedding food I have ever had, the prices are so reasonable. The outside ceremony space and the reception room are so beautiful and our pictures came out amazing. You are not going to regret anything if you chose them !

Not only was Smithville the most beautiful venue, but their staff is top-notch. Throughout my wedding planning process, they have been incredible with communication and so patient with making my dreams a reality. The food is spectacular, and their grounds are beautiful. People were also RAVING about their food. My family was also able to stay on site at the colonial inn. The Smithville Inn can not come any more highly recommended from my husband and I!

The Smithville Inn was an absolutely amazing venue with everything we needed and wanted for our wedding. Justine and Erin, the wedding coordinators, helped us the whole way. They patiently and efficiently answered every question we had, no matter how small, from touring, to booking, throughout planning, and especially the day of. The prices were affordable and the food and cake tasted amazing. The whole venue is gorgeous, especially in the spring time when the pink trees are in bloom! I wish we could re-live our wedding day at The Smithville Inn every day!

I would choose this place over and over again to get married! Justine and Erin are even gurus and were attentive, quick to respond, friendly, professional, and anything else you wanted in day-of planning! The venue itself is drop-dead gorgeous for that rustic/historic feel. The only drawback is that it can get a tad warm in the reception room, but it didn't stop anyone from dancing for hours! The food is also on point! So many options to choose from for the packages for multiple pallets! The archway for the ceremony outside is beautiful! If you don't get the cherry blossoms during your ceremony, you'll at least have the geese and their babies! The historic town is fantastic to explore after the wedding as well! It's quaint, quiet, and has so much to offer! Thank you, Smithville, for the wedding of my dreams!

I' m going to start this by saying, if a venue is willing to literally vacuum and enitre courtyard to get rid of the rain from the morning of your wedding ( on their own, not at the request of the bride of groom) just so your vision of getting married outside can come true, you hit the jackpot!
From venue tour to the day after the big day, Justine and her whole team were absolutely amazing. Smithville Inn itself is a stunning backdrop for a wedding and the food is outstanding (even eating it cold hours after the wedding was over!) The beauty of the inn and the food and all inclusive wedding package honestly sell itself. But what takes then to the next level is the team behind it all. They we're with me every step of the way planning and when the big day came they set everything up to perfection. Following every single one of my instructions, it looked breath-taking and the pictures turned out fantastic because of their attention to detail. Even the clean up crew was fantastic and made sure I didn't leave behind anything important the next day. We highly recommend Smithville Inn for your wedding as they definitely made our dreams come true! We could never thank Justine and the team enough!

Right from the start, the Smithville Inn team was amazing to work with. Justine, Erin and the entire staff was super responsive in answering all our questions. We loved the historic vibe of the venue and the fact that there’s only one wedding per day. You can really feel the personalized attention from their entire team. We did both the ceremony and reception on site, and everything was perfect.
The Absegami room was a beautiful, intimate ceremony space that was then quickly transformed into a fun cocktail hour space. The food was incredible! Our guests raved about the food from cocktail hour through dessert. Highly recommend adding the slider station; the brisket sliders were amazing! The bartenders were great, we loved the flexibility of adding alcohol upgrades and including signature wedding drinks. For dessert, we added the milk and cookie bar which was a huge hit with our guests and made for a great favor.
From start to finish, the Smithville Inn was amazing and we had the perfect wedding day. We can’t thank their team enough for making our dream wedding a reality!

The place itself is beautiful and gives you such a warm homey feeling as soon as you step in. The ballroom is so gorgeous on its own that you don't have to add much to it at all for your big day! The food is OUTSTANDING, every one of our guests said so and we obviously agree. But, the main thing that makes this venue the absolute BEST are the people. The event staff, Justine and Erin, were SO ACCOMMODATING! SO FLEXIBLE! SO PATIENT!! They were extremely responsive and always so kind and professional (and trust me, we were annoying). I can't say enough about how happy we were with their service. We feel so lucky to have had them on our side. We also felt the servers and everyone we encountered were just the nicest people. We love The Smithville Inn and we will continue to go back and visit as it is the place where we spent the best day of our lives.

The Smithville Inn was our dream wedding venue! The minute we walked in we fell in love with the beautiful reception room and courtyard, and the super friendly staff! During our planning process, Justine was SO helpful, patient, easy to work with, and gave great advice. Hailey was SO sweet and helpful when I asked to do some setup the day before, and was on top of everything the day of our weeding and was also so easy to work with and helped the day flow perfectly. The reception room was exactly what I had hoped for, the food was AMAZING and there was so much of it, and the staff working the reception were just beyond friendly and accommodating. My husband and I as well as our families and our friends couldn’t stop talking about how perfect everything was from start to finish. We truly can’t recommend having your wedding and reception at The Smithville Inn enough!!

We did my daughter's wedding. Everything was perfect! Everything from planning to day of. The banquet team made it so easy. Anytime we had a question they answered us immediately. And the food! Everyone raved about it. Portions were much bigger than expected. It was hot and fresh and the seasonings were spot on.

Smithville Inn was the perfect place for our wedding! We got married about 3 weeks ago and I am still replaying the perfect day over and over again! My husband and I wanted to choose a venue that was memorable, getting married on a golf course or in a banquet hall was not our style. We wanted a place that would be "destination" without the actual getting on a plane part because of Covid.
My aunt had gone to a wedding in Smithville Inn and told us to check it out. We first met Justine back in February 2020 right before the pandemic and we ate dinner there that night. Food was delicious, venue was beautiful and we feel in love with the historic village. Throughout the craziness of 2020/2021 the banquet department kept in contact with us the whole time. Justine, Erin and Halie are a fantastic team. Justine is who we worked with the most and she is awesome! Halie was able to bustle dress in 2 mins (thank god cause my mom could not figure it out) They all went above and beyond to make sure communication was clear and quick. They went over everything with us and they set up the reception so beautifully. We got married outside and had the reception inside. I got so many compliments on the décor. I love the room in Smithville, the big windows, the hardwood floor and even the chairs are nice! We had about 120 people, we invited 150 but I am glad it ended being less because I don’t think much more could’ve fit in the room.
We were able to book all 30 rooms on the property for our family and friends which made everything so easily accessible for the guests. Everyone went and got lunch and went shopping. The rooms at Colonial Inn, The Village Rooms and The Barn rooms are very nice and up to date. Everyone told us how much FUN the wedding weekend was and now everyone wants to go back for Christmas.
If you are looking for a venue that is reasonably priced, fantastic food, great team and not your typical venue, book Smithville Inn.

Smithville became our plan B after COVID hit and we needed a venue that could offer us an outdoor option. Well plan B should of been plan A from the beginning. Justine and Erin were great! Answering all my emails in a timely matter. Catering to us and our special requests and all around helping us have an amazing wedding ! Everyone of my guest raved about how beautiful the wedding was and all the food they were able to eat! Justine and Erin even held off setting up an indoor ceremony till the last minute so I could have my dream of the outside wedding. And it worked in my favor! You won’t regret having your wedding here!

Our wedding day was everything my husband and I hoped it would be and more. We knew from our very first visit to Smithville Inn that this was exactly where we were meant to get married. Smithville was absolutely beautiful. We loved going through the town for pictures with our bridal party and the ceremony space outside overlooking the pond was gorgeous. We had guests commenting on how beautiful the ceremony and reception spaces were throughout the entire night. I could go on and on about how amazing everything looked but I will sum it up by saying that everything just looked perfect. But the beauty of the venue is not the only reason we were so happy with our decision to book Smithville Inn; their staff was amazing too. From our very first interaction to our last dance and everything in between, their staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding day of our dreams. The staff was extremely accommodating and kept us updated during COVID about any changes that were occurring due to the pandemic. They helped make such a stressful planning process feel more manageable and we felt confident that no matter what happened because of the pandemic that Smithville Inn was going to help us navigate our way and still have a beautiful day… and we certainly did! Their vendor recommendations were spot on and we are so glad we used their vendor list to make our selections. My husband and I worked most closely with Justine throughout the process and she was wonderful. Justine was very easy to get in contact with whenever we had questions and extremely helpful. We can’t thank her enough for all of her help! You cannot go wrong booking at Smithville Inn!

My husband and I chose The Smithville Inn as our venue for our wedding ceremony and reception (which took place on 03.27.21) and oh boy did we choose wisely. First, the venue is GORGEOUS! My husband and I didn’t want to get married in the usual banquet hall and this was such a nice change – the perfect setting located in a quaint/cute village with a bunch of small shops (made for the perfect wedding weekend). Second, Justine and Erin helped make our day truly incredible. I tear up just thinking about how perfect everything was. From start to finish, Justine and Erin were very detail-oriented, they took the time to listen to what we wanted, and they made zero mistakes along the way. I was not stressed one time throughout the day. Also, the food was DELICIOUS - don’t miss out on the slider station! I wish I could be stuck in a time loop for that day so I could relive it over and over again. Not only did my husband and I love it, but our guests raved about the venue and how beautiful everything was. We couldn’t be more grateful – THANK YOU!!!!

The Smithville Inn was absolutely amazing for our wedding. It was hard enough to plan a wedding, let alone during COVID, but Justine and Erin made it seamless. During the past few months, the actual wedding was the only thing I was NOT stressed about. They were available any time to answer questions and were always up to date on the COVID regulations. We had to make many changes in the months leading up to the wedding, but the team there was helpful and on top of everything. The day of, the entire staff was incredible.
My husband and I met at Stockton, so Smithville was a very personal and meaningful venue for us. The day was absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t thank them enough for that!

The outdoor tent with string lights is gorgeous and created such a beautiful atmosphere for our reception. The food was incredible from cocktail hour to dinner, our guests are still talking about it!

Always available and answering my millions of emails without any hesitation. I can honestly say that our wedding was the best day of our lives because of the amazing team. Our wedding went off without any problems thanks to Justine! The venue was absolutely beautiful and they brought my my dream wedding vision to real life- even with all the million of decorations I had brought in! The food was exceptional and all my guest are still talking about it! My wedding was nothing short of magical all thanks to the entire Smithville Inn team. Every single person went above and beyond to allow for our day to literally be the best day ever! We even became friendly with the mayor Tony who is such a humble and all around wonderful guy. I 100% recommend the Smithville Inn to everyone! And if you don’t have your wedding at the Smithville Inn... IT’S YOUR LOSS!

My husband and I got married at The Smithville Inn on Sunday, February 16th and it was perfect! First of all I can not say enough nice things about Justine and Kyle! We only really interacted with Kyle at our rehearsal, but he was phenomenal! Everyone was so at ease and the entire process went by smoothly. We spent more time over the year interacting with Justine. She was so sweet and thoughtful. She answered all of our questions and never made us feel like a burden. Everyone at the Smithville Inn makes you feel that way though, which is wonderful. We didn't have a wedding planner, but our vision of the day was made real and better than ever! From the ceremony to the reception everything felt magical! You will not regret getting married at Smithville. 💜

We cannot thank them enough for making our day as stress free and fun as it was!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience with The Smithville Inn. Justine and Kyle were beyond helpful and on top of absolutely everything. I don't even know if I have the words for how grateful we are for everything they did for us.
We asked our brother-in-law if he could speak with Justine about having chicken fingers ready for the bridal party when we got to Smithville and Justine was waiting with them when we got to the bridal suite. I would 100 percent recommend The Smithville Inn to anyone who asks.

Words cannot even express how perfect Smithville Inn is for a wedding. Everything from the ceremony to the end of the reception was absolutely beautiful and on top of that, the food is outstanding! Everything from passed hors d’oeuvres to the main entrees are delicious. Kyle and Justine went above and beyond to make sure everything at our wedding was perfect. The planning process was stress-free with Smithville’s team. Even the day of the wedding, I was so calm knowing everything was being taken care of. I would highly recommend the Smithville Inn for your wedding venue if you're looking for a beautiful, rustic, intimate place that has amazing food and drinks!
Kyle, Justine, and the rest of the team - you guys are the best, thank you for making our wedding a dream come true!

We held our daughter's wedding and reception at the Smithville Inn on 824/19. I cannot rave enough about the Smithville Inn, Justine and Kye, and the amazing staff! The day/evening was nothing short of spectacular! Can you tell I'm more than pleased?
We met with Kyle a year to the day before the event. His professional presentation and patience in answering our questions coupled with the warmth of the staff we encountered and beauty of the venue sold us on the spot. Want to have an outdoor wedding? What if it rains? The Smithville Inn has a contingency plan. They have a beautiful indoor room with a huge Colonial Fireplace. You don't need to worry about weather.
Justine is also one of the wedding coordinators, and she ran our event. She was amazing. She took care of anything we needed before we could even think to ask. I can't think of anything I'd want. She already had everything in order.
My guests raved about the food. Particular favorites that were mentioned were the pulled pork with mango chutney on a crostini, sriracha shrimp, lamb lollipops, and scallops wrapped in bacon. Several people raved about the crab dip, too. For dinner, we chose the crab cakes (yum); the flat iron steak, which was tender and flavorful; and the eggplant rollotini. Justine even set up a spread of the appetizers back in the bride's room so that we wouldn't miss the appetizers while we had pictures taken. The cake was moist and delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed the pastry trays and ice cream bar. In short, the food was ridiculous in the best possible way!
Justine executed my daughter's ideas so beautifully. We dropped off all of our items the night before, and she created beautiful displays. Our centerpieces were woodsy and included mason jars filled with fairy lights and wood cuts. Justine even provided wood cut table numbers to match the decor that we provided.
Justine made sure that everything went beautifully. She literally caught me as I tripped up the steps and prevented an accident, smoothly orchestrated everything in a way that made us feel relaxed, and even manned the ice cream bar at the end!
One guest pulled me aside to say that it was a "storybook wedding." Many talked about how good the food was and how much fun they had. I can't thank Justine, Kyle, and the lovely staff at Smithville enough for making this such a memorable and stress-free day. You made it easy (on our end). I know you worked incredibly hard, and I will recommend you to all who care to listen!

We couldn't have chosen a more perfect place to get married and celebrate than the Smithville Inn. It was literally the only venue we visited and we were not disappointed by our choice. They truly take care of everything from organizing the ceremony, to setting up the decor, fabulous food service and more. Once all the details for our special day were ironed out, we were able to fully enjoy ourselves knowing everything was being taken care of. My guests were blown away by the beauty of the garden and the banquet room and raved about the food for days. The staff worked with my DJ to make sure the dinner was timed just right to keep everyone up and dancing as much as possible. And you really can't beat that the open bar and cake are included. Definitely a must see as you begin your planning, fingers crossed they have your date available!

I was married here this past weekend on 6/15/19 and all I can say is that is was absolute perfection. The venue is beautiful and the staff are absolutely amazing. They were so easy to work with during the planning stage, especially Justine who answered all of my questions within a couple minutes of me emailing her. The food was delicious both during cocktail hour and dinner and the drinks never stopped flowing! I highly recommend The Smithville Inn especially if you want a beautiful, personal, low-stress wedding! Thank You guys so much!!

Not only is this venue unique and beautiful but the convenience of the local amazing vendors make as stress free of a day as possible. The coordinators are a great team and are prompt with responses. There is a back up room in case of bad weather, which is huge for easing your mind in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Everything ran as flawlessly as possible and I would choose the same place again and again.

My husband and I got married at The Smithville Inn this past December. We had a great experience during the planning process, and have so many amazing memories from our wedding day, thanks to all that the staff at Smithville did! Kyle was very responsive during the days before the wedding, and he answered every one of our questions in a timely manner. He and Justine made the entire day flow so nicely. They put all of our decorations out exactly the way we were envisioning them. I remember walking into the reception room just before the ceremony was about to start, and tears started to form in my eyes once I saw how the months of planning and visioning my husband and I did truly came to life that day. We had the winter wonderland wedding of our dreams, and we are so thankful to everybody at The Smithville Inn for all of their help in making that happen. Bonus points, the food was AMAZING. They give you plenty of options for your guests, and are so accommodating with food restrictions. We actually had a completely vegetarian wedding menu and it was so easy to swap a few things out that we wanted switched. The village and the Inn itself are so incredibly cozy and inviting, which is what my husband and I wanted on our wedding day. We loved how charming and full of history the Inn is. Especially with the Christmas decorations everywhere, the entire atmosphere was so timeless and low-key -- yet romantic and warm. We are so happy that we get to come back to Smithville anytime we want and go back to the absolutely wonderful wedding day we were able to enjoy here. I highly recommend holding your wedding at The Smithville Inn!

From the minute I walked into the Smithville Inn I knew it was where we had to have our wedding. Justine and Kyle were the absolute best throughout the entire process, answering every single question and email. The ceremony and reception could not have been any more perfect and stress free. The food and wait staff were simply amazing and I could not imagine having our special day anywhere else. We can't thank everyone at the smithville inn enough for making our day so incredibly perfect!

Where do I even start with this beautiful place? Kyle & Justine are absolutely fantastic and very professional. They helped me during the planning process and made everything so simple. Justine made our rehearsal and ceremony move so smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place!

My husband and I could not be more thrilled with our ceremony and reception at The Smithville Inn. Our expectations were exceeded and every aspect from the decor to the food was unbelievably wonderful. We and our guests had the time of our lives and the Smithville Inn took care of EVERYTHING with so much attention to detail. We are so thankful for Kyle, Justine, and all who worked with us before and at our wedding.

I did not choose to have my wedding at Smithville Inn, although we did book an engagement party and the banquet managers who do the wedding were in charge of the engagement party as well and I would not mind if I never had to deal with them again. There is Kyle and Justine but they both respond on the same email so I never knew who I was talking to, numerous times I tried meeting them in person and they never were available and the one time we planned to meet after I got off work they actually left before I got there, no email to even apologize. I emailed the list of food and specifically which entree I wanted and the following email either Justine or Kyle ( again they never mentioned who I was actually talking to in the email) was asking questions that I actually already answered in the previous email as if they didn’t even take the time to read what I wrote. Very unprofessional and sloppy in my opinion. It’s very unfortunate because it is a nice place and the food was great.

I was not stressed on the day of because of this venue. The banquet managers were sooo accommodating. The waitstaff was incredibly polite. The setup looked beautiful. I can’t say enough positive things! The food was delicious and the waitstaff made sure that the groom and I had enough at the cocktail hour and reception. So impressed and I felt it all came at a reasonable price for what we received.

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about my wedding at the Smithville Inn in June 2018. Every single person we dealt with was incredibly kind, and knowledgeable. The entire day went off without a single hitch (I’m not kidding!!!) they had everything perfect done for me exactly as i hoped, from the rehearsal and dinner, and the ceremony and reception. This place will always have a special place in our hearts, thank you thank you!!!

We had our reception at Smithville on 10/7. Justine was the absolute best!!! She made everything come together and helped with our dietary requests for those with allergies. The landscape is gorgeous and the food is phenomenal!

We got married at the Smithville Inn on 9/7. Our day was absolutely perfect! We had to make the late decision to have the ceremony inside. Although I was naturally a little disappointed, it was still a very pretty space and Kyle made sure we at least had our cocktail hour outside (it was just one passing thunderstorm so cleared up in the middle of our ceremony). Kyle and Justine made everything run so smoothly. I received nothing but compliments from our guests. The food was AMAZING. They even boxed up some of our cocktail hour food in addition to our dinners for us which we enjoyed the next day. I was planning from 3 1/2 hours away. This was never an issue. Justine and Kyle answered my emails within 24 hours, and made sure to have an answer for all of my questions. They allowed me to be a stress free bride on my wedding day and that was the most amazing gift anyone could have given us.

We got married at The Smithville Inn on June 22nd. Saying it was the best night of our lives does not do it all the justice it deserves. From the beginning, I knew Kyle, Justine, and staff at Smithville Inn were going to take care of us. The process went smoothly. Leading up to our big day, any question we had, they answered and any ideas we needed help with, they helped with. At the rehearsal the night before, Kyle eased all my nervous jitters. He totally has a way of doing that. When I walked into the banquet room before the wedding started I could not believe what my eyes saw. It was better than I imagined. Every detail was perfect. They took the time and went above and beyond to make our vision a reality. Throughout the day Kyle and Justine got us anything and everything we needed. They even took care of my family that arrived early. Our wedding day, ceremony through the after party was a dream come true. The team at The Smithville Inn is AMAZING! We have received countless comments about how great the planners and staff were and I am sure they won't stop for a long time. Thank you forever :)

This has to be the best venue for a wedding, in my opinion. The ceremony space is picturesque with the lake view in the background and the reception space has that rustic yet romantic feel. The banquet managers Kyle and Justine were amazing from start to finish. They made the planning process so easy and the end product was perfect. We opted to have a plated dinner and the food was delicious. Our guests continue to rave about every course they consumed. Many of our out of town guests fell in love with Smithville and are planning to make a weekend visit in the future. If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. I highly recommend The Smithville Inn.

if I could give this more than 5 stars I would. A year ago Kyle had told us we would have a beautiful bloom for our may wedding and he did not disappoint. Justine did an incredible job at running things. The food was delicious (that apple brie was delicious) . The venue was beautiful and everyone who came said it was absolutely stunning. thank you for a wonderful day

Smithville Inn was always one of my favorite places and I still can’t believe I was able to get married here! The venue and setting was perfect for my rustic theme. The coordinators Justine and Kyle are amazing and always quick to respond to emails. The staff was extremely pleasant. They decorated exactly how I requested and the whole night was amazing! Thank you for making my wedding perfect

After seeing the beautiful venue and meeting the staff I knew that I was in amazing hands and that this HAD to be where I got married. Kyle and his staff went above and beyond the call of duty especially when things got crazy the last two weeks before the wedding. Thank you Smithville Inn for making my wedding an experience that my husband my guests and myself will never forget!

My husband and I were married at the Smithville Inn on 11/11/17. The banquet manager, Kyle, and the rest of the staff are amazing. Kyle has such a fun yet calming personality. We always looked forward to going to the Inn for wedding planning follow ups to see Kyle and Justine. Kyle and Justine made sure we were organized and ready for our event. We couldn’t have thrown such a perfect wedding without their help. The waitstaff were friendly and made sure our 140 guests were full and never thirsty.
We are so happy to have gotten married at the Smithville Inn so we can go back to this special place for anniversaries. We would recommend anyone to get married there. It was an amazing experience and the staff were second to none.

I was married in November at the Smithville Inn and couldn’t be happier with our entire wedding process and day! When it came to choosing a venue, I knew I couldn’t envision myself in your typical “ballroom” setting. I wanted something rustic, without being a barn, something romantic, without being gaudy, and something simple, without being boring. My fiancée and I looked at only one venue (The Smithville Inn) and knew it was the place for us. It was unique and beautiful. We met with Kyle (who even came in early, just to accommodate our schedule!). He answered all of our questions and made the decision to book the venue an easy one! Along the way, Kyle and Justine were available to answer any questions, offer advice, and make us feel comfortable and confident that our wedding day would be everything we dreamed of. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch. We can honestly say that we have zero complaints! Everything was exactly as we had asked for/envisioned. Our wedding guests all commented on how it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, thanks to Kyle, Justine, and their team’s professionalism, positive attitude, and go with the flow personalities. We can’t thank them enough for all they did!
