Absolutely magical wedding reception

We just had my daughter’s wedding reception for approximately 150 guests in the Celebration barn. We had an all star line up of vendors and everything was perfect. The barn, Inn and property are beautiful. The staff all professional and attentive. They made everything run smoothly. Location wonderful right in the heart of Manchester. Everyone loved it!

Magical Winter Wedding for 140+ Guests

I had my wedding at the Inn at Manchester this past March and MAGICAL is the only word to describe it. This was party due to the foot of snow the night before and the softly falling flakes during our outdoor ceremony, however much can be said about the absolutely excellent staff at the Inn. To start with, they were very flexible and willing to let us try new things at their venue. I don't think they host very many outdoor winter weddings, but they let us (carefully) shovel the snow ourselves (thanks groomsmen!) so that we could have an outdoor ceremony.

Gretchen and John gave excellent advice on how to find the right vendors for us. I had nothing to worry about the entire wedding day as John had it COVERED. He even hung some string lights on the terrace for us. My wedding day could have had something go wrong and I wouldn't even know.

The setup of the barn was just big enough for our 140+ person wedding with a 7-piece band. Every vendor said they loved working there. The rooms were lovely. The breakfast was fantastic. I can't think of another thing I could have asked for!

The only thing to note, was the celebration barn does look better (in my opinion) with string lighting which you have to rent. This isn't a negative, just an FYI for future brides and grooms! I also rented siding to tent in and heat the terrace so it could be used in the winter, and my caterer did not supply dishes, so I needed to work with a rental company anyway (Celebration rentals). This is also one of the strengths of this venue, its a bit of a blank slate! They had no issue with me tacking some snowshoes on the wall.

In review, I talk up the Inn at Manchester to everyone I know in the hopes that I will get invited to someone else's wedding here (maybe one in the summer this time!). We also plan to go back next year for our anniversary and will likely come visit for years to come. 11/5 stars!

Amazing Wedding Venue

We held our wedding welcome party and all wedding events at the Inn at Manchester. From the moment we visited the property and met the staff, we knew we had to look no further for a wedding venue. Our expectations were beyond exceeded and we truly had the best weekend of our lives. John, the current event coordinator, was such a pleasure to work with and made sure our entire weekend ran smoothly. All we had to do was show up and just have a good time. The property, the rooms, and the breakfast are also all amazing for guests to stay the weekend. The staff at this family-run Inn are so amazing and accommodating. We could not have asked for a better place to hold our wedding and highly recommend this special place to anyone!

A lovely country inn with modern amenities! We adore the Inn at Manchester, and their team is dedicated, friendly, and easy to work with. The new Celebration Barn blends perfectly with the rest of the property, while having great light, open space, and limitless decor opportunities to make the event your own. Highly recommended!

It is amazing what a caring and well trained staff can do. Nancy and the crew at the Inn at Manchester worked non-stop to create an amazing day for the bride. They clearly take great pride in what they do. I absolutely can't wait to work with them again.
