BLOWN away! Incredible venue and staff!

We still cannot get over how PERFECT our wedding day was at the Dearborn Inn. We have nothing but great things to say about Robert and his team at the Dearborn Inn. We were originally supposed to get married on June 21, 2020, but due to COVID we had to postpone until June 20, 2021. Robert made sure this whole process was as smooth as possible. He was always willing to answer our questions and provide us the most up to date information and possible next steps. He made planning a wedding in a different state during COVID seamlessly. It is crazy how he is able to note all of the small details and make it all happen like magic! Our family and friends cannot stop talking about how amazing our wedding was and how fabulous the food was. Our whole wedding was exactly how we envisioned it! The ballroom was absolutely beautiful. We were so happy that we selected the Dearborn Inn as our wedding venue and highly, highly recommend to anyone planning to get married. Thank you so much for everything!

Gorgeous Venue & Amazing Service!

My husband and I are so thrilled that we chose the Dearborn Inn for our wedding venue, everything was just outstanding!

The Alexandrea Ballroom is easily the most elegant option we looked at (out of 14)! The Lobby is ideal for pictures and guest’s first impression.

What really stood out to us & our guests was the excellent service! The Chef was soo accommodating. Even our really picky, hard to impress guests were raving about the delicious food and generous portions! Jordan (front desk) saved me the night of my rehearsal when I was running super late. Colleen (event coordinator) came up with all sorts of creative solutions & ideas. The banquet servers all seemed genuinely happy. Mo (Banquet Captain) went above and beyond to make the night special! He took the time to note the most popular drink and upgrade it, and gave us our end of the night drink (because we both were too busy to ever have one)!

Oh and so much more, I can’t even express how beautiful the day turned out and how perfect the Dearborn Inn was! We’re forever thankful!!

Dearborn Inn ROCKS!

The Dearborn Inn made our wedding PHENOMENAL. You and your guests won't be disappointed. We were lucky enough to be paired with Paulette, who helped us every step of the way. After we signed, we were treated to a tasting that was out of this world. Paulette even let us add a few special touches that really made our big day special, including a birthday cupcake for my Mom as the next day was her 70th birthday. The venue was gorgeous, exceeded our expectations in every way. Paulette was there to make sure the night ran smoothly. We felt supported every step of the way. Our guests loved the classic and historic feel of the hotel and the venue. And it was unanimous that the food was remarkable. As the other reviews indicate, you will not regret having your wedding at the Dearborn Inn. We loved every part of it. Thank you Paulette!

Lovely Historic Hotel and Reception Location

Dearborn Inn is a perfect combination of historic and modern touches. The gardens are beautiful for wedding photos as well. We loved this location and had our rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, and Sunday post wedding brunch all at this location. This made it very easy for all of our guests to enjoy the weekend as the hotel is very nice as well. The Dearborn Inn ballroom is perfect for up to 350 guests and would be an ideal location for any formal event. Christie and the staff were great to plan with. Dan the events manager made sure we were well taken care of that evening. All the wait staff was courteous and attentive. 5 star experience!

We have great experience with our event manager Robert George for my daughter's wedding at Dearborn Inn. George is very organized, detail oriented, thoughtful, patient and cheerful person. He has high standard of customer services. He replied my emails quick and answered my questions clearly and logically. I felt peaceful after reading him emails, because many things are decided from each email. Our vendors needed to setup the venue at 12pm, per our contract the venue was available at later time, Robert helped to coordinate the early time setup with all parties. On rehearsal dinner day and the wedding day, Robert was with us all the time to support. Our wedding was beautiful, and everything was as planned. We are all very happy to have the wedding at Dearborn Inn.

I could rave about my experience with The Dearborn Inn for hours. Robert George, our event planner, was absolutely the best. He was a lifesaver in helping to take care of our wedding block, he helped book the hotel shuttle, worked with me on taking care of the bridal suite, reserved the bar for a welcome party and helped me plan a post wedding brunch. I and all of our guests had the most amazing time at the Dearborn Inn. It was perfectly decorated for Christmas, which added such a whimsical touch. Not only was Robert George a saint but all of the staff that we came in contact with were so helpful and friendly and just wanting to make our experience the best. I could not be more thankful that we went with The Dearborn Inn, it made our weekend the best it could be.

We had our wedding here 10/08/2017 and couldn't have been happier with our choice. I had scouted roughly 20 other venues and narrowed it down to a top 5 then top 2. The Dearborn Inn won me over with an amazing menu, beautiful location for photos, ceremony and reception. Starting from the time I first spoke with my coordinator Christie to the last day communication was prompt and any questions I had she had answers to. Everyone raved about the food and beauty in general of the Alexandria Ballroom and Gazebo we were married in. Perfect back drop for photos with the colonial homes, trees and marbled lobbies. Dan was wonderful through out the reception taking care of anything we needed and was careful with our stuff when taking it down and loading it up in the car for us. I magically lost my card box and cake cutting set in my house but The Dearborn Inn provided me with beautiful back ups. My day ran smooth, the staff was helpful and polite. Everything was perfect! Thank you to all of the staff, Christie and Dan!

We can not say enough how amazing our wedding was at the Dearborn Inn. Our wedding was held on July 29th, 2017. Christie was our event manger and she was wonderful during the whole process. We had our cocktail and reception upstairs in the Alexandria Ballroom. The set up of the room exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious, the hotel was beautiful, and the staff was absolutely top notch! We can not thank the Dearborn Inn enough for making our day so wonderful!!!

Is there a button I can click for 10 stars? Our Wedding took place on Saturday May 27th 2017 at the Dearborn Inn and I cannot put into words how perfect it was. The Dearborn Inn holds a special place in my heart as it is the same location my grandparents held their special night in 1957. With the accessibility of being two blocks away from my home church it was too good to be true. From the first minute of booking to the last minute of dancing, everything fell right into place.
The Dearborn Inn’s staff knows a thing or two about Wedding’s :) Having decades of experience, I truly enjoyed the planning process never encountering stress. From Mike the manager, Wedding Coordinators and Kitchen staff, every worker is professional, organized and always wearing a smile on their face. The food was incomparable and cooked to perfection. Our Bridal Suite and guests hotel accommodations were wonderful and convenient. The grounds were well maintained and the lobby didn’t have a single dust bunny! Our guests are still raving about the Dearborn Ballroom and how beautiful it all was.
Now it is my time to boost about our Wedding Coordinator, Paulette O’Connell. Paulette is one in a million. Aka book your reception at the Dearborn Inn and request Paulette O’Connell. She is a great listener, values the importance of time-management, and wants to help exceed all Wedding Pinterest boards. Paulette is a new friend and overall just an amazing person. Did I mention they touch base with all of your other vendors’ weeks before your big day? Cross that off from your to-do list!
God has a special way of putting people in your life for the better. Everyone we worked with and alongside for our Wedding changed our life for the better. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU for everything. You allowed me to be the best version of myself, kept things organized and brought happiness to all. You will always have a special place in the Stoming/Thomas family :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
