The Barns at Edgemont Inn was the perfect rustic and cozy setting for our wedding. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly accommodating and thoughtful, going above and beyond to ensure our special day ran smoothly. One of the bartenders even stepped up as an informal day-of coordinator, staying by our side throughout the event to handle any last-minute needs. The inclusive atmosphere allowed all of our guests to feel welcomed and comfortable. During the planning process they provided multiple options for table arrangements, arbor options and arbor placements, as well as options for dinnerware, glassware and silverware! Our group of country boys were pleased with their yard games and were playing corn hole all day! We were thrilled with the exceptional service and value provided by The Barns at Edgemont Inn, and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a charming, stress-free wedding experience.

The Inn at Erlowest was the perfect venue for our special day. From signing to the day of, the staff was efficient, organized, and friendly in their communication - especially the onsite wedding coordinator. LeAnna and her team were so knowledgeable and good at their jobs that I never stressed about the event. All good vibes! They helped coordinate all of our details; from the night before BBQ, to table linens to photographs of two large families, keeping everything running smoothly and on time. The venue itself is breathtaking. Guests are still telling us that they’re never seen a more beautiful ceremony location, and the reception space is a perfect mix of elegant and down to earth that we were aiming for.

Carmine and Theresa at Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home, were responsive and attentive throughout the entire planning process. They were always willing to show us around the property when we stopped by for a visit, which helped us feel comfortable and confident in our decision to host our wedding there. The venue itself was simply stunning - Lincoln Hall is a wonderful addition that provided an unforgettable backdrop for our special day, even when we had to move the ceremony indoors due to rain.

Oh, where does one start when recommending them?! As a photographer, staff communication is so important when it comes to timelines, locations on the property, etc.. Everyone I came in contact was so helpful, kind, and genuinely happy to be there. I was informed on the timeline multiple times throughout the day, and could always find someone when a question arose. Something huge that seems small was dinner. Myself along with the other vendors were fed promptly (the best meal I’ve ever had at a wedding too), with a space to set our belongings, which allowed us to get right back to work and not miss a thing! It’s so important that vendors are fed quickly so we aren’t scrambling to get back out there. As a natural light photographer, the Inn was a dream. Beautiful fencing, giant trees for shade, two buildings to work with, there was no shortage of “locations” when it came to the portraits. Between, the staff, location, and professionalism I easily give them a 10/10, and hope to be back for future weddings!

I am not sure how to convey how truly amazing Danielle and her team are to work with to plan a wedding. We started working with Danielle in October for a June wedding and I cannot recommend her and SNGC more. We sat down in her office with no true vision and she helped us create the wedding of our dreams. We told her the items that were most important to us and she took it from there. We wanted to focus on heavy passed appetizers for the cocktail hour, a sit-down coursed dinner and lots of fun drinks…. and she nailed it so well that we had an ice sculpture espresso martini bar!! Danielle made the out of state planning process a breeze. She thought of everything; we were completely blown away when we showed up for our final meeting. No detail is left behind by her and her team. The day of was beyond memorable. I had to hold back tears when we got to see the room prior to the reception. The day of staff was extremely attentive and helpful to keep everything flowing on schedule. We have not stopped hearing from our guests about how amazing the food was, how stunning the room looked and how kind and helpful the entire staff was throughout the night. There is something to be said for having an entire wedding reception planned that is packed with a mind-blowing cocktail hour, 175 person sit down dinner, and lots of cocktails, with absolutely zero hiccups or stress. We have Danielle and the entire day of team to thank for that! The whole wedding was perfect and worth every dollar spent!
