Absolute Dream

Our best decision was choosing the Red Lion Inn for our venue. Krystel was there for us throughout the entire process and made wedding planning so fun. She was there for every question and ran the wedding itself like an absolute pro. We loved that the tasting was an event for all couples (and their parents) with dates close to ours and we truly got to try every potential dish. Also we have received SO many compliments on our food and our guests were in awe with the barn. Toufik and Krystel made sure we got to enjoy every bit of our wedding, made sure we ate, and didn't miss a single detail. You get more than you pay for at this venue! We are still on cloud 9!!

Highly recommend this venue for any special occasion!

We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our December 2023 wedding than the Red Lion Inn! Its charm and beauty were absolutely perfect for our winter celebration. Working with Sam leading up to the wedding was a dream; she was incredibly attentive, always providing solutions to our many questions and ensuring flawless execution on the big day. Toufik also played a vital role day of, ensuring our comfort and happiness throughout. We truly did not have to worry about one thing and were able to enjoy the day so much. The entire staff at the Red Lion Inn are so kind and genuinely care, making our experience truly unforgettable. Our guests were equally impressed by the atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommend this venue for any special occasion!

Dream winter wedding

We worked with Krystel who truly made everything happen no matter the ask. From beautifully arranging my memorial table / DIY Photo Booth to making sure everyone with a food allergy had the right meal to everything in between she made our wedding absolutely perfect. The venue itself is cozy and beautiful and guests described the vibe as “feeling like a warm hug” which says it all. The food was incredible and everyone on the staff was attentive and ensured the wedding went according to plan. Best experience and would highly recommend to any future brides!
