The venue that has it ALL

We fell in love with this venue before we even stepped foot on the property. The charming colonial facade of the buildings welcomes you inside. The stunning architecture of the great hall, meticulously landscaped gardens, and boho chic vibe of the Edison bulbs over the lawn comprise the perfect backdrop for a memorable ceremony and gorgeous pictures. Not to mention the food!! Wedding food usually isn’t very memorable, or if it is, it’s for the wrong reasons. The food was remarkable! Everyone raved about it for weeks. They are also so great about accommodating food allergies, which was great for several of our guests.

The facilities were absolutely incredible. We were blown away by the service and care provided in the Grand. We received complimentary champagne upon check-in, polite and efficient service from the bellhop, and a complimentary room move of our belongings on the day of our wedding to the Inn. The modern yet cozy feel of the grand suites was absolutely amazing. We almost didn’t want to leave for the inn! The bed is so comfortable and the bathroom is luxurious. Once we moved over to the Inn, we appreciated the charming, antique touches throughout the room. The facilities were incredible–we loved the extra bathroom and plenty of space to spread out and also relax in between photos. The balconies make for great photo shoots and the walk in closet was greatly appreciated! We even received a complimentary bottle of champagne and chocolate cake! Worth every penny!!

What was most memorable for us at BVI were the staff. From the moment we began planning our wedding with Olivia to the day of coordination with Brittany and even our personal attendant Griffin, we were completely blown away with the professionalism, graciousness, accommodation, and flexibility of every single person we came in contact with. Everyone worked so diligently to ensure that our day was absolutely perfect and it was!! The staff work so well together, like an oiled machine. Though it looked like it was going to rain, Brittany had her staff set up chairs outside and we were able to have our ceremony outside just in time to miss a passing shower. She had her phone opened to the weather radar for an hour to make our ceremony just as we had planned. Brittany was also incredible during the wedding, attending to anything we needed. Griffin, our personal attendant, was charming and funny. We so appreciated him! Leading up to our wedding, we had a lot of last minute guest list changes and Olivia was so flexible in providing us several solutions. Her affirmations, assurances, and optimistic demeanor were everything a couple needs leading up to their wedding. We can’t say enough good things about everyone who works at Bedford Village inn!

Do not think twice about booking your wedding at BVI! It is worth every penny!!

A Dream Come True – The Perfect Venue with an Incredible Team

From the very beginning, working with BVI was an absolute dream—and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible coordinator, Madison. Her attention to detail, calm professionalism, and genuine warmth made the entire planning process feel effortless. She was always patient, organized, and responsive, and I can honestly say that our wedding day was as perfect as it was because of her and the amazing team at BVI.

Every detail—from the ceremony setup to the reception flow—was handled with such care and precision. The entire day unfolded so smoothly, and it was clear how much thought and experience went into every moment. I was able to truly relax and enjoy the day knowing everything was in such capable hands.

The venue itself is stunning, and so many of our guests have told us how beautiful everything looked and how well-run the entire event was. From start to finish, it was more than we ever could have hoped for—elegant, seamless, and full of joy. It felt like a true fairytale, and we owe so much of that to BVI.

We are beyond grateful to Madison and the whole team for making our wedding day so special. I can’t recommend them highly enough—if you’re considering BVI for your wedding, just say yes. You’ll be in the very best hands.

Beautiful venue!

We got married in the Charolais Room at The Grand. This place is magical. We could not be happier with it as our wedding venue. It was beautiful. The hotel is gorgeous, our suite was incredible and the perfect place to get ready. The food was delicious and plenty of it. The staff are INCREDIBLE. Our coordinator, Olivia, is the best. She is kind, responsive, and helpful. She heard all of our asks and made them come to life. She has an amazing eye for decor and added lovely touches. She’s incredibly organized and we did not have to worry about a single thing with her as our coordinator. Gillian, our bridal attendant, was awesome. She always made sure we had everything we needed. She took care of us and we were never thirsty or hungry all night. Nicole was our day of coordinator, and met all of our needs. She was super helpful with managing in-the-moment tasks and taking care of us. It was truly the best day of our life and the venue/staff helped make the day even more special. Highly recommend this venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
