Facilities and Capacity

Ceremonies can be held outdoors under the pergola in the garden of the Roger Sherman Inn. Home to mature trees and picturesque blossoms, the terrace and gardens produce a charming backdrop.

Perfect for our 25 person wedding!

This venue is beautiful inside and out. We loved that we were able to have our ceremony, reception, after party, and hotel accommodations all in one place. The food and drinks were amazing and the Roger Sherman Inn has everything you need, including faux boxwoods to separate your event from the restaurant and beautiful wood chargers, corn hole, you name it. We also moved our 5pm wedding from entirely outside to entirely inside around 2:30pm and you would have thought that was the plan from the get go. It happened seamlessly! I love that we can go there for dinner for any anniversary or celebration in the coming years.

Everything we wanted and more!

This review is long overdue as we got married in May.. but better late than never! We were some of the unfortunate ones that had to reschedule our wedding TWICE. Sue and Nes were extremely accommodating and made what would have been a much more stressful situation easy to get through. The planning leading up to our wedding was perfect. Guest check ins and experiences were great. Everything was set up beautifully. We live in California so planning a wedding across the country didn't allow for many pre-wedding meetings. But we didn't need to. The vendors they recommended were wonderful, especially our florist Madeline from Bon Fleur. There was nothing I would change about our experience with Nes, Sue and the whole team at the Roger Sherman. If you're on the fence about booking here, I highly recommend. Having venue that includes rooms, food, drink, etc makes your wedding planning life SO much easier.

The Wedding of my Dreams

We dine at RSI in a regular basis and could not have picked a better place for our wedding. The food, service, and ambiance are par none. The staff and events team went above and beyond to make our day memorable. Our guests continually reach out to tell us how delicious the food and cocktails were and what a wonderful time they had. The Roger Sherman Inn is the perfect New England venue. Thank you for a day we will never forget!
