We loved the historic charm and beautiful grounds. We got married next to the lily pond and we were able to take many great pictures outdoors throughout the perfectly maintained property.
They were very accommodating and we enjoyed delicious dinner and breakfast the following morning.

Stunning New England Wedding Venue
We booked Adair Inn without even seeing the venue, and it was the best decision we made for our wedding! From the moment we reached out to seek information, we were very pleased with the level of service we received. The Inn’s coordinator, Emma, was extremely friendly and very helpful throughout the wedding planning process! She was quick to send us many pictures of previous weddings, and willing to FaceTime to show us the property. The property recently underwent a lot of great renovations both inside and outside, and the whole venue is just quintessential New England! For a wedding of our size we were required to book out all the rooms in the Inn, however, in doing so this made our wedding weekend into a very special wedding retreat with our closest family and friends! We had our wedding during Covid and the innkeeper as well as his staff kept everything very clean, and everyone felt very safe. We chose to do our 65-person ceremony and reception both outside. The food was delicious!! The guests could not stop talking about the beautiful setting as well as the food! There are convenient restrooms in the carriage house for guests. I would recommend requesting that path to be lit, although it’s not far at all it gets very dark. Overall we could not be happier with our choice to get married at this special place. The staff went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend and day absolutely perfect and memorable!
