We were planning our wedding for 2 years and when we found the SM Inn it was like all of the stress started to melt away. They take care of EVERYTHING: deliveries from vendors, setting up vendor space, putting out decorations, setting up the food and tables, setting up a room block. Its really incredible and the price is absolutely the best value around. And the best feature is their catering manager Lauren. She is beyond wonderful to work with, she knows everyone in the industry and she is so accommodating to any request you may have. Everything looked exactly how we pictured it, the food was great (and a great value) and the venue really is just naturally beautiful. Please don't overlook this place because it is the best kept secret!

Lauren was amazing and I'd pick her all over again to coordinate my wedding. She was there with me from day one when I placed my deposit , to my wedding day, and until the day after my wedding!!! Lauren and her team are awesome!!!
