Salem River Inn

e to be determined. We did not get to see the contract before our Son was pressured to sign the contract or lose the venue for a Sunday/Mother's Day (not a highly booked day) evening wedding. Things that we and my Son were thought to be included like picking up the cake from a local, recommended bakery as a courtesy wound up being an extra charge, champagne flutes, chairs for the outside ceremony, chair covers inside chairs were extra cost to name a few. Had to use their preferred florist, caters, DJ etc. The included FLORAL centerpiece was greens and a lantern no flowers. Darien the Salem River Inn's wedding planner and the venue owners did not communicate well with each other and we had to repeat instructions often i.e. the flowers were suppose to be left on the arbor for sunset pictures, Yvonne brought them into the hall and hung on rail before that. More importantly, Darien took personal information from the Bride's hand about our guest/MC and then proceeded to send him a contract telling him he had to pay the venue a percentage of what he made ($0 it was a gift to the Bride & Groom)because he was using his own professional equipment. We are also still waiting to hear from the bakery as promised by Yvonne, Jim & Darien because the cake was not done correctly. So, be prepared to pay a lot more then you contracted for, they will nickle and dime you to death.

red all our questions. This venue was just what we were looking for. It was a great size for our small wedding (about 40 guests), with an extremely helpful inclusive package and wonderful views of the river and surrounding natural areas. We opted for a late morning ceremony and a short, midday reception, and the Inn was more than happy to accommodate our plans despite hosting an evening wedding the day before. We felt like Yvonne went above and beyond to help us on our special day. She did a wonderful job playing our ceremony tracks for us, helping us to stay on schedule, and making sure that we remembered to eat. She and her team were so professional and efficient and were able to seamlessly transition from an indoor ceremony to an indoor reception, although we were also having our photos taken inside at the same time. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend the Salem River Inn!

(not just the vegans) raved about. Being locals it was important to both of us to have our special day at a place that was both near to our home and shared it's natural beauty. Salem River Inn, with it's natural meadows and sweeping view of the River fit that niche perfectly. The owners and staff were so friendly and helpful and it was refreshing to be dealing with owners who are so obviously proud of and in love with their place. Much gratitude to Yvonne, Jim, and staff for making our wedding day fantastic!

reat with communication and helping the day run smoothly. Caroline was also amazing, especially with making sure my husband and I got to enjoy the food and drinks. It is such a beautiful venue, I loved how our guests enjoyed the entire property. I also spent the night in one of the rooms and it was so nice being on site and able to just reminisce about the day. It was the perfect backdrop for so many photos and would recommend to anyone.
