Beautiful venue with wonderful coordinators
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
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.
