Beautiful venue with wonderful coordinators

My husband Andrew and I had an absolutely fantastic experience with the Grafton Inn for our early May wedding, and a truly joyous experience. From our very visit, through to our tasting, and the constant helpful communication from Olivia, Roma and Angela – the team at the Grafton Inn were incredible. They communicated promptly, answered all my questions, were always very helpful, and came prepared with suggestions. I felt like the really listened to Andrew and I and put real effort into bringing our vision for our wedding to life. The Grafton Inn has so many beautiful spaces, all of our guests were able to stay at the Inn, and it was so wonderful to have the whole weekend full of events in one spot. Their team is highly professional, they are so organized, they had timelines and logistics all locked down. It rained and thunder-stormed the day of our wedding, and everyone pivoted so quickly to setting up the beautiful indoor space we had designated as our backup. No panic, no chaos, just calm execution of the change in plans.

The food is INCREDIBLE – I really don’t think I could say enough about how delicious the food is. Dinner was just delightful, and the breakfast is soooo good too. We had multiple guests comment that it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had. Andrew and I were able to pick a menu that we really loved after our tasting, and a menu that easily accommodated all of our guests. We came up with fun custom cocktails ourselves and got a response of “no problem – sounds great!”. There were a variety of dietary restrictions and everyone was accommodated smoothly. The whole experience of working with the Grafton Inn really felt so personal and so compassionate. They made planning so much less stressful that I had thought it would be, and every single one of their recommended vendors knocked it out of the park. That was such a bonus added value that I hadn't been counting on, and it really helped us plan a wonderful event.

I’d recommend this venue very highly, and I know Andrew and I will be coming back for weekend trips in the winter or summer to ski or mountain bike and reminisce about our magical weekend.

The Best Wedding Venue

The Grafton Inn is an incredible venue. My wife and I got married there about two weeks ago and we are still getting compliments on how amazing and unique it was and how all of our friends want to do the exact same thing. The venue has multiple gorgeous sites for rehearsal dinners, reception and ceremony depending on the vibe you want and the staff at the Inn couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Leading up to the wedding, Olivia, Roma and the other wedding coordinators do an amazing job of helping you come up with a blueprint for your weekend. They were incredibly helpful and responsive to us in figuring out all of the details that go into a weekend like this and take a very structured approach to help you nail down all the details on the right timeline for everything to happen as smoothly as possible. The Inn will have you for an overnight to do a wedding tasting of all of their delicious food (Seriously, the chef here is amazing). Last but not least is the day of coordination - we had Olivia and Roma helping us out on our wedding weekend and my wife and I seriously didn't have to think about a single logistic all weekend. Olivia and Roma handled everything exceptionally well, without us having to lift a finger, even when we had to make some last minute decisions because of weather. We showed up with a number of random decorations and guest books and point-and-shoot cameras and other stuff and Olivia and Roma took it all from us and just made it all happen. I couldn't recommend them more and we would do it exactly the same all over again if it came down to it.

Elopement ceremony


Our wedding at The Grafton Inn was nothing short of magical. The barn was absolutely stunning—rustic, charming, and the perfect blend of elegance and comfort. It created such a warm and inviting atmosphere that our guests are still talking about!
A huge shoutout to Roma, our incredible coordinator, who truly went above and beyond for us. From the first planning meeting to the final send-off, she was organized, calm, and so kind. She made the entire experience stress-free and made sure every detail was taken care of. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without her!
If you're looking for a venue with character, beauty, and an amazing team, this is the place. Our day was perfect, and we’ll forever be grateful.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
