Our Experience

Our experience was wonderful. Pam was very helpful and answered any questions that we had. She was more than willing to show us the room and give us a vision of what it could be.

The Watson inn was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding planning. Their prices are extremely reasonable and it's such a beautiful place with character that makes decorating and atmosphere a breeze. Pam Was amazing to work with and made sure we had everything we needed, in the week or two leading up to the wedding I emailed her a ton of times adding things and making changes and Pam took them all in stride and made sure everything was perfect! The food is amazing and we keep hearing compliments on the food. The staff at the Watson inn were some of the kindest and most polite staff I have ever worked with, they came up to me and my husband multiple times asking if we needed anything and making sure we were comfortable which is something that I didn't expect but meant so much. They took great care of us on our day and I would highly reccomend them to everyone.

This is where we are having our reception. We've already toured the reception hall and met with Pam. It meets all our needs! A complementary suite for the night of our wedding, blocked rooms for all my guests, and we don't have to worry about a caterer - I've eaten here many times (both at other weddings and in the dining room/bar for dinners, and the food is great.

If you are looking for a beautiful, unique venue that offers ALL the amentities, then the Watson Inn is the place for you. My guests raved about the food, and the Moon Room is absolutely gorgeous. They are very flexible with letting you plan exactly how you want your reception to be, and Pam is wonderful at offering advice based on her past experiences in the business. The bride and groom get a complimentary night stay in the amazing Jacuzzi suite simply for booking the reception, and all our out-of-town guests had a place to stay there. Pam and the rest of the friendly staff helped us make sure everything was perfect when setting up the room the day before the event. Best of all, it was very affordable, especially for the quality of food, service, and atmosphere you get with the Watson Inn. We also ordered the chocolate fountain, which was a hit, and the staff were kind enough to place welcome bags in the rooms our guests reserved to stay overnight in to add that personal touch. It was the perfect venue for my husband and me on our very special day.
