Magical Day!!!

Our wedding was such a magical day at the Black Bear Inn! This intimate venue was PERFECT for our woodsy, midsize wedding. Wendi & Bruce were the perfect hosts, and we loved having the whole inn to ourselves for the weekend. They even cooked breakfast for our small wedding party who stayed in the rooms. Wendi went above and beyond even helping to print my Mother-in-Law’s toast poem. Love, love, LOVE this place and we will be back for anniversaries!!!!!

Wonderful venue and hospitality!!

Wendi and Bruce at the Black Bear Inn were incredible. They answered any questions we had, were very flexible in allowing us to come view the venue and they had a great list of recommended vendors that know the venue very well. The venue was clean and beautiful during the fall season! They were very helpful in showing us where things can be set up and even allowed us to borrow some of their tables for the wedding. They're such wonderful people and honestly the location really helped us make a memorable wedding we won't forget. We plan to visit again! The location is amazing if you want a woodsy cabin like venue. The outside is the best part of the venue! It's well kept and gorgeous.
Thank you so much again for having us!
