Wedding Venue of our Dreams!

The English Inn was the dreamiest wedding venue. Working with Adriana from day one was such a treat- she was professional, answered all of our questions and went above and beyond for us. We received so many compliments ranging from the beauty of the venue, the professional staff, and the plated dinners that everybody LOVED! I would encourage everybody to get married here.
Having on site hotel rooms & cottages was a major perk for our guests, and every single room was beautifully designed with historic charm throughout.
The grounds of the venue were so beautiful- flowers, lush green grass and mature trees surrounded us as we were married next to the river.
The Medovue Hall (cocktail&reception hall) was stunning!!
I wouldn’t change a thing about The English Inn. If you decide to get married here, you won’t regret it. There was not one hiccup throughout the entire process, all thanks to Adriana!

The perfect English Wedding

This was the perfect venue for us. Do you want an old-world feel and classic feeling for your wedding? This is perfect. Do you want all the amenities, modern accommodations for your wedding? This isn’t it.

We wanted to feel like we were in another world for our wedding. This served as the perfect place. My husband and I stayed in the Ivy suite and his groomsmen in the Essex. This was perfect as he went to the Essex room to get ready with the groomsmen and the Ivy was perfect for the bridal party as there were multiple rooms for hair and makeup to set up.

Most of the wedding party and family rented out the rooms - so we got to see those, and all were unique and beautiful in their own ways. I recommend reserving the room Bath for a bridesmaid or whomever will be steaming dresses.

The pergola and Medovue Hall both were beautiful for the ceremony and reception respectively. We didn’t do a lot of decorations because I felt the beauty of the hall spoke for itself. We had the Duck for dinner - and it was perfect. Everyone raved about it. The bartenders and waitstaff were so nice and personable.

Adriana was great to organize and work with. All in all, we loved our venue and highly recommend it.

Hidden Gem

The English Inn is truly a breathtaking hidden gem. We had our wedding here in July 2025 and could not be more pleased with this venue. Adriana was truly a pleasure to work with and provided support in more ways than we could have ever imagined, she truly helped everything come together no matter the surprises that came up. The Essex was large enough for our party to get ready in, while the other rooms in the building are just seconds away as well. The grounds are absolutely stunning for all your photos. The staff provided 5 star service all night. We got so many compliments on the food, our appetizers went so fast (definitely order more than you think!), the filet was delicious and the best quality we’ve had at a wedding- think true fine dining taste! The venue even stepped up last minute and helped with our desserts when we had a mishap with our original vendor. An additional perk of this venue is when you book a room, a delicious fresh breakfast is included the following morning, it was so special to see so many of our guests before we checked out. I cannot recommend this venue enough for your wedding, or even a dinner celebration

Perfect Venue

Our wedding was at the English Inn in Eaton Rapids on June 6th, and it was truly the most magical, flawless day we could have imagined. From start to finish, every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and warmth.

We especially want to thank Adriana, who was an absolute joy to work with. She was kind, responsive, organized, and always one step ahead—anticipating our needs and making sure the entire day ran smoothly. Her calm, friendly presence made the planning process and the wedding day itself feel effortless and joyful.

The venue is simply stunning. The grounds are immaculate—lush gardens, flowing fountains, and charming pathways that made for incredible photos and peaceful moments throughout the day. The ceremony setting was idyllic, and the reception hall was elegant and inviting. Our guests are still raving about the beauty of the cocktail hour area and how cozy and lovely the cottages were for those who stayed on-site.

Every element—from the staff’s professionalism to the flow of the timeline—was handled with such excellence. We felt so taken care of and so confident in the team, which allowed us to fully enjoy the day and focus on what mattered most.

The English Inn was a huge part of making our wedding day as special and perfect as it was. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

Magically charming and highly professional

The English Inn provided exceptional service, breathtaking scenery, and excellent food and drinks. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our wedding day! It was magical and breathtaking. We went with their diamond package, reserved the entire day, had our ceremony and reception there, and reserved cottages for multiple nights. Their event coordinator, Adriana, exceeded our expectations with so many details it’s difficult to list everything. One special, beyond expectation moment was how she helped coordinate our marriage certificate signing within the library, complete with champagne and hors devours from the cocktail hour, for an intimate moment with our immediate family members. All staff made great impressions on us and our guests. We had many guests stay at the Inn for the weekend, and all of them were highly impressed. The grounds and estate have been very well maintained, including being freshly mowed the morning of. We’d also like to highlight the kitchen crew and bar staff; they were on top of it! Everyone enjoyed their meals and couldn’t get enough of the specialty cocktails. Overall, we feel and heard from our guests that our wedding was magical, and we know a great deal of that came from the hard work of The English Inn and its staff. It really isn’t possible to write out all the positive feedback we feel and heard from our guests – without writing a book!

Hidden gem!

We don't have enough great things to say about The English Inn. The grounds are breathtaking and made for the perfect location for our wedding. The gardens are beautiful and well-kept and the riverfront was a peaceful backdrop for our ceremony. The on-site rooms allowed us to keep our immediate family and closest friends close which made for the perfect wedding weekend. We had great locations for getting ready which made for excellent photo ops. The staff was so friendly and considerate and went out of their way to make our weekend special. I can't thank everyone enough, especially Adriana who addressed all of my emails in a friendly, timely manner. She was constantly checking in throughout the wedding and ready to address any issues that arose. We're looking forward to spending many of our anniversaries here for years to come.

Our staff loves working with the English Inn because of the level of professionalism and attention to detail when it comes to making the bride and groom happy.

The English Inn and Medovue Hall have always been and always will be one of our all-time favorite venues. The surroundings, the staff, the food and the service are all outstanding. You really have to see the picturesque setting the property has to offer. Check out their photos and you'll get an idea of how gorgeous it really is. With the Pergola nestled along the banks of the Grand River, the elegant Medovue Hall and the brand new lodging facilities, the English Inn has it all. I would describe the English Inn as a destination wedding location that's close to home.
