The most perfect venue!

We had the absolute best wedding day!

I could not have asked for more from our venue. The staff was amazing and the on-site coordinators, Gina and Mercer, were truly the best to work with! They were incredibly attentive during our two-year long planning process. I always felt like a priority and it was amazing to have people to ask questions, chat through logistics, and have in our court.

Our guests loved the space and having the ability for our wedding party to all stay at the venue was absolutely everything we hoped it would be. The food and aesthetic were PERFECT. It was everything a bride could have ever asked for!!

Hermitage Wedding

Amazing venue, great service and the food can’t be beat. We had a 170 person wedding under a large tent in the back. Food was the consistency of a 2 person private chef. Bartenders, waiters and waitresses, everyone was incredible and so happy to be there celebrating with us.
The grounds were immaculate and planning the logistics, vendors and timeline with Gina were extremely easy. Go up, take a weekend to look around, and you can picture it happening.

Perfection

Today is our three month wedding anniversary and we are still talking about how perfect our wedding was, with a huge part of that due to The Hermitage Inn. The team at The Hermitage made the entire process easy, calming and fun and made the weekend lovely, memorable and perfect. Gina was with us from moment one and was a constant professional who was warm, non-judgemental and available whenever needed. She made sure the day of went on without a hitch and took care of all the big and small details, making sure we didn’t need to worry about anything. I was very specific about wanting to start hair and make up later in the day and Gina adjusted the schedule and made sure I had my morning to myself. During the weekend Mercer, Jan, Sarah, Katia and so many others, along with Gina, made it the best weekend with all of our guests saying the same thing. From the rehearsal dinner, breakfasts in the morning, bar service and, of course, the big event, it was all excellent, personal and thoughtful.
Location and venue wise The Hermitage was again, perfect. The property and inn are beautiful, luxurious and luscious. It was incredible to have the entire inn to ourselves with our closest family and friends. The carriage house was a perfect home base to not only get ready in but to have drinks at and to have a little welcome event for just those staying at the inn on Thursday night. I have pictures of my parents and aunts and uncles sitting on the porch telling stories which I will cherish forever. The grounds were beautiful for the wedding and even though the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were at the same venue- each part of the weekend felt unique and intentional as the venue offers so many options.
Its been fun to look at the other weddings that have happened since ours on Instagram because not one of them have looked similar. That must be the magic of The Hermitage Inn and Gina, as they truly allow you to bring your own wedding to life.
Can’t wait to come back for a weekend and reminisce. My aunts and parents also fell in love with the venue and are planning a trip up the winter.
