Fantastic!!

Boar’s Head was the perfect place to host our wedding! I loved that you could host your entire wedding weekend at Boar’s Head and there are so many great options for each event, depending on the weather and number of guests. The grounds are stunning and we had so many great options for photography as well. We initially planned on an indoor ceremony since March is so unpredictable, but the weather ended up being perfect and they were able to flawlessly move the ceremony outside to the Greens with just a day’s notice. We had our reception in the Pavilion and it was so elegant and allowed for the perfect flow for our cocktail hour and dinner. We had the pleasure of working with Lauren Wallis as our wedding coordinator and she truly went above and beyond. We were in constant contact the year leading up to our wedding and she was able to accommodate all of our requests, down to the type of glassware for our signature drinks! Most of our guests stayed at the Boar’s Head and they absolutely loved the rooms, amenities, and the restaurant and bar at the inn. The hors d’oeuvres and dinner were excellent on our wedding- our guests loved the food and open bar. The bartenders and waitstaff were also so professional. We had such a great experience with Boar’s Head throughout the planning process and thought the weekend was truly perfect. Thank you Boar’s Head!

Consultation/Booking Process

My fiancé and I dropped in to see Boar’s Head after seeing another venue. We like it so much I brought my mom back the following weekend, and by the end of the day, we knew it was the place for us! It blended my fiancé and mine’s styles perfectly, and there were so many options for how we wanted to get ready the day of, set up our reception, and additional activities for us and our guests. I am especially looking forward to using the on-site spa to relax prior to our wedding! Rebecca provided us with so much quality information, and put us at ease with the process, which can seem overwhelming at times. Absolutely go check them out!!

We are so happy we picked the Boar's Head for our wedding venue. We held our rehearsal dinner in the Ednam Room and our reception was in the Pavilion Grand Ballroom. Esme Pitard was such a pleasure to work with, throughout the entire year leading up to the wedding, and during the entire weekend. She was very organized and kept us on track with planning. We had an amazing tasting about a month before, tasting 3 full entrees, several hors' d'oeuvres, and then such a fantastic cake tasting display. The Boar's Head is a fantastic venue because you can get so much in one place. The rooms were beautiful with a southern charm, not to mention balconies or patios on every room. There are several options for rehearsal dinner and receptions depending on the size of your party. The Ednam Room had a nice outdoor courtyard which was nice for Friday night. The Pavilion has a beautiful prefunction space and the ballroom is just as it's labeled: "grand." We went to the "Racquets Restaurant" for the after party both nights which had a nice patio with fire pits. We also had several options for pictures before and after the ceremony- some backdrops included flowers, willow trees, the lake, brick walkways, and even the rooms and hallways. We had good experiences with all of the staff, and especially want to thank Esme. Best day of our lives!

We really enjoyed working with the Boar's Head for our rehearsal dinner. We mainly worked with Esme who is extremely professional and organized. She doubled checked with big decisions before proceeding and explained any aspect we didn't understand. The tasting we had with them was AMAZING and I still think about our meal and hors d'oeuvres to this day! Our guests loved the food and the open bar :) Also, the room we used was beautiful and perfect for our group. It was such a beautiful night and we are so glad Esme/Boars Head were able to make it happen!

Sara Markham and her team at the Boar's Head were an absolute pleasure to work with. Three months before the wedding, my parents, fiancé, and I had a tasting onsite that went above and beyond our expectations--so we knew the wedding would be great. On the day of the wedding, which was supposed to be outside under the willow tree, the weather was not cooperating, and Sara had the indoor ceremony space all set up, just in case. She was calm and collected in what could have been a stressful situation. Long story short, we delayed the ceremony by about 10 minutes and were able to have the whole thing outside as planned. She communicated the delay to guests and the wedding party and the afternoon turned out to be perfect after all.

Rachel and the entire staff at the Boar's Head Inn provided an exceptional experience for my youngest son's wedding on January 2, 2015. I was in the unique position as the MOG charged with planning and hosting the wedding. The Bride and Groom reside in Dallas, Texas and my husband and I in Williamsburg. Working with Rachel and her team was seamless. The Original Ballroom was the perfect venue providing a warm and elegant feel to the Wedding - a roaring fire provided the perfect backdrop for the ceremony, and then the room was transformed for the reception with a beautiful sitting area with chairs, couches, tables, etc. in front of the fire for our guests to enjoy - beautiful. Enough about the beautiful venue - the food is over the top! Midway through the meal we had guests catching our eye and whispering - this is amazing! One of our choices was the filet and it was prepared beautifully. The wedding cake was exactly as my daughter-in-law requested - identical to the picture and delicious! I highly recommend the Boar's Head Inn. Rachel is the perfect wedding planner - she was there every step of the way - from the menu tasting, to the Rehearsal, to the morning after as our guest lingered through breakfast. We could not have asked for more. The highlight of the evening was the Sparkler exit for the bride and groom. It was over the top and the Boar's Head did an amazing job making this happen for Jill - our Bride! It was breathtaking and the pictures amazing.

I was extremely happy with the Boar’s Head as my ceremony and reception venue! Everything was perfect and was more beautiful than what I had envisioned. Jared, our wedding coordinator was amazing and made sure everything was in place. All of the staff took the best care of us, and Awilda, our banquet captain, was just the best! The weather was beautiful, so we had an outside ceremony in front of the courtyard, which was gorgeous and we are still getting compliments on how pretty it was. Our reception was in the original ballroom located in the main building, and it was beautiful! We had a fire going throughout the reception, a dance floor in the middle of the room, and tables on each side. Our main color was a deep eggplant color and it looked beautiful with the wood floors! Our wedding cake was exactly how I requested it - Erinn the pastry chef created a beautiful cake! Our friends and family also raved about the dinner - they all loved the entrees (we had a fish and beef).

Our guestroom was also so nice and so comfortable! The wedding night room comes with the wedding package, so it makes things easy! And the rooms are beautiful.

We couldn't have been happier with the entire experience and would highly recommend holding your wedding here!!
