Everything about having our wedding at the Boars Head Inn was easy and amazing. We worked with Debbie, a catering sales manager, who was kind, patient and was not surprised at anything. We scheduled a walk through of the grounds back in September of 2007 and we were escorted by Debbie who explained everything and was very helpful. After our walk, she sat down with us and gave us further information about having a our wedding there. We wound up choosing the Boars Head Inn not just because of its awesome natural beauty and wonderful services there, but because of the way we were treated.
I worked with Debbie in detail and she was always available to answer my questions, no matter how inane they may have been. She gave us a full list of recommended vendors that was spot-on. We went for a tasting in February and it was perfect. The food choices were ideal, well-prepared and delicious.
The weeks leading up to the wedding were perfect and easy. I received email updates about balances that were due and Debbie was able to answer all of my questions. She also took every change we made in stride, which was a great relief.
The wedding weekend was extraordinary. I'm very organized, and I was able to completely relax. When I walked into the BHI, I noticed my last name was incorrectly spelled on the events sheet. Upon pointing it out to him the concierge immediately took it down and replaced it with a sheet with the correct spelling. That was just the beginning of the exemplary service with which we were treated. The staff began to know the guests by name and helped us out with every detail, great or small. From taking my luggage to the bridal suite to ordering taxis to having champagne, sandwiches and appetizers in the dressing room, nothing was a bother to the staff. The rehearsal went smoothly--Debbie was there the entire time to ensure we were satisfied with what was going on, and we were able to head off to the rehearsal dinner in no time.
The wedding day itself was a dream. Debbie was there the entire time and made sure that the evening flowed smoothly while maintaining the timeline. I never felt rushed, worried, concerned or stressed--exactly the way one's wedding should be. The dinner was served and was absolutely excellent, the cake was stupendous and the bar staff was very accomodating.
After the reception, the guests headed up to the bar on site where we were all treated wonderfully. The bar staff was very helpful and made the last part of the evening really fun.
In short, the food was excellent, the cake was excellent, the venue itself is one of the most beautiful spaces I've ever seen, and the planning was so above-and-beyond, the English language doesn't have words to describe it.
Overall, I would give the BHI 10 stars. I can't recommend it highly enough--nothing was even remotely mediocre. Nothing was "good." Everything was "excellent".

We used Sue for our wedding ceremony music, and she was excellent. We opted for the classical trio and Sue was very easy to work with. She answered all of our questions and had an excellent repertoire to choose from. Everyone enjoyed her music and the selections. I highly recommend Sue Taylor and A Touch of Class.
Pat and Sherry are fantastic. I don't know a lot about flowers, but I brought my mother, who knows quite a bit. I had my thoughts on what I'd like the flowers to look like and my mother had hers, and Pat listened and found perfect bouquets and flower selections. They were patient and helpful.
The day of the wedding, I walked into the room where the flowers were, and they literally took my breath away. They were even more beautiful than I had imagined and from the bouquets down to the rose petals that lined the aisle, everything was exactly as we had hoped. Pat and Sherry were really great, and I highly recommend them.
We worked with Chris for our wedding, and we're both so thrilled we made such an excellent choice. Chris was always available to answer our questions when we had them before the wedding and put any reservations or worries I had to rest. He was frank, easygoing and very professional.
The DJ on the Side website is really easy to use and a lot of fun. They've posted songs that other couples have used, which we found very helpful whenever we were stuck.
At the wedding, he was perfect. The introductions were a breeze and the music during dinner was exactly what we had wanted. He even helped out the best man during his speech! At the reception, he played the best music. All of my friends have told me that they've never had so much fun as they did at ours, and I can easily say that 95% of that was because of Chris. There was never an empty dance floor, and everyone was dancing the night away. I couldn't recommend Chris and DJ on the Side any more.
My husband and I wanted an outdoor wedding and someone who would appreciate my Catholic background. We found Claire through a referral and she was ideal. She understood the aspects we wanted to highlight and what we wanted out of our ceremony. She was easy to work with and she was incredibly helpful with quick answers, references for readings or suggestions of different things to add to our ceremony.
The day of, we had a large raincloud that came and covered the sun, taking the heat away for a while. Claire asked my husband and I too take a look out at the audience and look to see all the love that was out there for us. It's one of my favorite moments in our ceremony because up until that point, and for the rest of the evening, we never really got the chance to look and see all of our loved ones who came together from all over the country and world for us. As the thunder started booming, big fat raindrops began to fall. Claire was very flexible and skipped over part of her address so that we could continue to get married outside, as we had wanted. The ceremony continued flawlessly, and I'm so glad that Claire was the one who married us. She's so approachable, understanding and easy to talk to.
