Great Time at Water Street Inn!

I recently attended a wedding at Water Street Inn, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! The venue itself is gorgeous, with breathtaking views of the St. Croix River that made the ceremony feel like a fairytale. The charm of the historic building combined with the stunning outdoor terrace created the perfect atmosphere for a beautiful wedding.

I also had the pleasure of staying at the inn, and the rooms were cozy and comfortable, with a lovely blend of historic charm and modern amenities. Waking up to the river views was such a treat, and it made the entire stay feel extra special.

After the wedding, we headed to their pub, and wow, what a great time! The atmosphere was lively, with fantastic live music that kept everyone in high spirits. The pub had a great selection of drinks, and we enjoyed some delicious food while listening to the band. It was the perfect way to unwind and continue the celebration with friends and family.
