Simply magical

We got married during Hurricane Elsa. Because we were rained out we moved the ceremony inside which is just as stunning. The sky cleared and we were still able to get the most beautiful pictures outside by the fountain and gardens. The staff and food were amazing. Gary Baker, Director of Sales, treated us like family and listened to our vision leading up to the big day. Malana Dougherty Jarzabek executed it the day of and was Heaven sent. Incredible all inclusive venue.

Hidden Gem!

The spa at Norwich inn is absolutely breathtaking! Inside and out there are so many photo opportunities, must see in person! Great service staff and food. GARY, the Director of Sales, was truly heaven sent! From day one he treated us like a family friend and we are so grateful for him! My family can’t stop talking about him still. Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more.. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience

We had chosen The Spa at Norwich Inn for our wedding venue. It was the first and only venue we saw because we knew right away this was the place we wanted to get married. The Director of Sales, Gary Baker was great. He listened to what he wanted and there were numerous times when I called and emailed him regarding something I forgot, wanting to add, or just ask for advice. He responded promptly and made sure I felt at ease. The staff were so kind and friendly, making sure we had food and drinks while we were taking our photos. The reception was beautiful and it was such an amazing time. I'd highly recommend choosing this venue for a wedding or any event!

Wedding Reception

My wedding ended much earlier than expected and I was worried there would be a problem but when people arrived the staff already prepared to serve. They worked well with the DJ to time all the events for the ceremony. The food was great, I couldn't finish dinner because of how many great appetizers there were.

The wedding package seems a bit expensive (but normal for wedding prices) but I feel like I got a tremendous value from it. One example is the included night at the resort. Near the end of the night I was feeling pretty tired and realized that I really didn't feel like having to move my stuff and drive somewhere. The coordinator came up to me and asked me for permission for the staff to move my gifts up to my room. I didn't even have to move my gifts! Overall I would definitely recommend this place to other couples looking to have a wedding reception.

The Spa at Norwich Inn did a WONDERFUL job the day of our wedding and all the days leading up to it! Michele was very responsive with emails and questions, I never waited more than a day for her response! Everyone was super professional and it was amazing to be able to get all the services "in house." I had my hair and make-up done by Spa staff and it was nice to be able to do everything in one location. The wedding itself was amazing. All my guests couldn't stop saying what a great time they had!

Our experience with the Norwich inn and spa was incredible. Michelle and her team made the entire day perfect, also the amenities that come with the wedding package are awesome. The garden suite is beautiful and the couple's massage the morning after was wonderful!

The Spa at Norwich Inn accommodated my wedding and it was fantastic. Michele and her staff did such an amazing job. They were all so friendly and professional and made sure every detail was perfect. Everyone at my wedding RAVED about the delicious food - and the portion sizes were impressive!!! We loved the use of the garden suite for overnight accommodations as part of our wedding package, and it even included a couples massage that was the perfect end to our event. Many of my guests said it was one of the best weddings they have every been to, and I couldn't have been more pleased!!
