Best weddkng venue especially for a winter wedding

I highly recommend if you are planning a wedding to choose the colonial hotel. Not only is the atmosphere gorgeous and beautiful, but if you are having a winter wedding the staff will set up the venue with all the winter decor. Everyone at my wedding complimented on the hotel and decor all night. The staff that work here are amazing especially my wedding planner Mary and her assistant Emily. During the entire planning process they always got back to me right on time withbany questions or concerns that I had. My first appointment they went over all the different package choices they had for planning a wedding and they were all budget friendly. They set up all the decor I had for the wedding day beautifully. The team is talented, great hospitality, and they seriously want what's best for the married couple on their wedding day. Not only are the staff amazing, the venue itself amazing, but the food was delicious. Everyone at my wedding complimented on the food all night. Again if you are looking for a place to get married chek out the colonial hotel. You won't be disappointed!

Magical Christmas Wedding

I couldn't have dreamed of how my wedding turned out! Mary and the crew at the Colonial were honestly the best ever! They were so attentive to detail and made sure that everything went on without a hitch! With over 200 guests, we had a lot to wrangle, but they did it! I loved being able to have the ceremony, reception, after-party, and hotel all in one! I can't rave about or thank them more for everything! 1000/10!!!!
