Incredible Venue!

Fishermen's Inn was an incredible venue to have our wedding!! Here are a few highlights from working with this venue!
1. The venue is stunning. The high vaulted ceilings and decor is gorgeous and the grounds are beautiful! Even during the winter, the location is stunning. We loved the rustic chic look!
2. Fantastic communication! Kate was incredible to work with as a coordinator. From the day we booked our venue she was communicative, timely and supportive. She was available to us whenever we had questions! On the day of our wedding, she was incredible and made sure everything went smoothly!! Cannot recommend working with her enough!
3. THE FOOD! The food is amazing. Everything from the breakfast buffet, mimosa bar and lunch service was great. The dinner food was delicious and all of our guests had nothing but great things to say about it!
4. The staff is wonderful and so kind! Everyone was so genuinely happy for us!
5. Patti is wonderful to work with, she even gave us a gift on our wedding day from the venue which was so thoughtful and touching!

I would recommend the venue times one million!! A perfect location to marry the love of your life :)

Highly Recommend!

We can't say enough what an amazing job the Fishermen's Inn team did for our wedding. From the initial visit, Erin, Patti, Felecia, and team were so kind and personable and took all of the stress out of the planning process. Everything on our wedding day went exactly according to plan, and months later we are still getting compliments from guests on the food and atmosphere. We truly can't recommend Fishermen's Inn enough, they made our wedding day incredible!

This venue was the absolute most BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT location we could have imagined for our ceremony and reception. The staff at the Fishermen's Inn was kind and professional. Everything ran so smoothly because of them. Kate was our wedding coordinator and she made the planning process fun and stress-free. Our friends and family are still talking about how perfect this venue was!
