The Barn at Whitney's Farm

lf is beautiful and feels so cozy, it’s been a couple weeks and we’re still getting compliments from all of our guests. Thank you to the whole team at Whitney’s Inn!

edding 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!

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!

iliar 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.

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 :)

ure, 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!

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.

st 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!!

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!

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!

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!!

kend 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!

ally 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!

rvice 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.

ovel 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.

zing all weekend not only just the night of our wedding.

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!!!

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!

ious all of our guests raved about the food. Best wedding ever!

ods, 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!

ad 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 :).

ther 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.

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!

ith 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

staff enough for their hard work on our wedding weekend. I can not wait to return to Whitney's Inn to celebrate our anniversaries.

eous, 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!

e 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

dding venue.

ountry 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!

moothly 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!

asy 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!

y 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.

hat 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!!

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!

e 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!!

his 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!

ny 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!

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!!!

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.
