Q + A

Where is the Inn at Valley Farms?

The Inn at Valley Farms is located in Walpole, New Hampshire. For locals, this is approximately 25 minutes from Keene off of Route 12 and located behind Alyson's Orchard. For those traveling from out of state/town, we strongly encourage connecting your phone to your car for GPS directions! The address for the Inn is: 633 Wentworth Rd. Walpole, NH 03608 tel: (603) 756-2855

Where is the "rehearsal" dinner?

The "rehearsal" dinner will take place at Sole's B.A.R. in Keene, New Hampshire. Please note, Sole's is a modern day speakeasy and the outside looks like a shoe store under construction (i.e. newspapered windows). When you arrive, pick up the pay phone next to the door and ask for a pair of shoes (or more if you arrive with company). Follow the hosts instructions. For locals, Sole's is located down the street from the library and across from the courthouse. For everyone, the address is: 8 Winter Street, Keene, NH 03431.

Wedding Day Parking

There are a few spots adjacent to the main Inn building, however, most people will need to park on the designated lawn area across from the barn.

Ceremony Location

The "I do re-do" ceremony will take place in the Inn's garden located past the sunroom and flagstone patio.

Location of Dinner and Reception

After the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception will all take place in the 200+ year old barn. Guests are encouraged to relocated their ceremony seating from the garden to the barn!

Wedding Attire

Semi-formal dress is preferred. Ladies, the ceremony will be outdoors on a lawn, so stiletto heels are not recommended. Please note, the weather in May in New Hampshire can be cool or warm - look ahead and plan accordingly!

Bar Service for "Rehearsal" and Reception

It's on us! Though cash tips for our bartenders are definitely encouraged :)

Reception Restrooms

Do not pee in the barn! Or on the lawn! One restroom is available on the ground floor in the main inn. For those staying in Kilburn or Bellows Cottages, we encourage you to use the bathrooms in your cottages to help cut back on lines.

Gifts

We do not have a gift registry. Your presence is your present. But, if you insist, heartfelt gifts or honeymoon support will always be appreciated. We will have drop box for cards at the reception.

"Rehearsal" Dinner Attire

We're leaning into the 1920's vibe of Sole's B.A.R and Speakeasy and hope you will, too! Online options for outfits include: Retro Stage, Unique Vintage, Amazon, Babeyond, and Flapper Boutique, to name a handful.

Bugs and Weather

Two things we unfortunately can't control are the springtime black flies and the weather. Also, the 200+ year old barn we'll be partying in has a strict fire code, so no heaters allowed. With that said, we will be providing various bug sprays and will have a selection of cozy blankets available for guests to cuddle up with. Also, if you need to "ruin" your fancy wedding garb with a jacket, go right ahead - we'll still think you're the most good-looking friends and family we could ask for.
