We had our wedding at the Woodbound Inn and we had an amazing experience working with Max. Like many other couples, we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, and Max was understanding and flexible with us as we picked a new date. We also had our rehearsal at the Woodbound Inn, and Max worked with us and our officiant to make sure we had everything we needed for the wedding. Our ceremony was supposed to be on the beach and we thought it was going to rain, but Max helped us plan and visualize exactly how the wedding could go inside. The rehearsal went longer than expected, but he timed it to ensure dinner was hot and ready for us afterwards. On the wedding day, Max communicated with me throughout the day to see that we had everything we needed from him and to make sure everything was ready, and because of this everything proceeded as planned. He checked in with us regularly during the wedding and worked to accomplish everything we asked. Max worked seamlessly with the photographers and DJ to make sure everything went smoothly. Our wedding went perfectly because of Max and his team at the Woodbound Inn. We stayed at the Woodbound Inn for four nights around our wedding, and Max ensured that our entire stay was wonderful. On our last night, we had a party of 20 people that wanted to eat at the restaurant and he went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thanks to Max, our whole wedding weekend was perfect!

Wow! What a perfect day. Thanks to Andrea and her staff for everything they did to make this day so wonderful. From the first meeting with Andrea we felt confident that this was the place for our daughter’s wedding. The setting was gorgeous, the staff was attentive and the food was delicious and plentiful. Having cabins and inn rooms on the premises worked out great. Most guests stayed and were pleased with the accommodations. The brunch the next day was delicious. An all around wonderful experience.

The Woodbound Inn was a wonderful place to have our wedding. They have everything that we were looking for: great outdoor woodsy space, cabins for more rustic accommodations and the inn for those interested in a typical hotel accommodation. We were happy to have the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and accommodations all on site. We were able to see our guests throughout the weekend which was important to us. The staff was very helpful and accommodating of our large group. The food was excellent. It is such a special and unique place. We could not have been happier.

Two words-- Epic Weekend. The Woodbound Inn set the stage for this awesome milestone in our lives, and we are so grateful to have discovered this jewel in the woods! We got married with Mount Monadnock in the background, under the Arbor. It poured rain in the morning but it stopped right before the ceremony. They dried off the seats and the rest is history! All of our guests commented on how awesome and friendly the staff is and how DELICIOUS the food is there!! (we already knew, we frequent their brunches and highly recommend dinner & the pub!) We continued the party down at the cabins with a bonfire and s'mores and the picture perfect sky in the morning was breath-taking. Andrea, the event planner, is the calmest, most organized, and wonderful person to work with!! The whole weekend from arrival before the rehearsal dinner in the Brummer Room to checking out after breakfast on Sunday morning was perfect (and I don't use that term lightly) The whole weekend at the Woodbound surpassed any expectations we could have had! And the love and joy at our wedding was overwhelming and beautiful! Thank you Andrea! Thank you Woodbound Inn!! We will be back!! XOXO Cheri & Mike

We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception at the Woodbound Inn. The grounds are well taken care of and there are beautiful views and scenery. The rooms are well maintained and there was an experiences for everyone (ex: nice inn rooms, hotel like rooms, and rustic cabins). We had our rehearsal in the play barn and the reception in the ballroom. We liked that the facility offered multiple options for our events and was still small and cozy.
Prior to the wedding, Andrea the event coordinator was very response and knowledgeable. The whole team at the Inn was flexible to our dietary needs (allergies, vegans) and wishes we had for the events. The chef did a great job preparing multiple meals at each event to ensure all guests were happy. Staff was friendly and attentive.
We cannot say enough about how positive our experience has been with working with the Woodbound Inn and having our wedding there.

We had the most beautiful lake side wedding. Everything was perfect from the view to the food. All our guests loved the variety of rooms that were available to them. Rudy the chef catered to our special menu request with ease and it turned out magnificent! Our day was spectacular.

My wife and I would like to personally thank everyone at the woodbound inn for such a wonderful, picturesque location for our wedding. The staff was super friendly, even with last minute changes and scattered emails and calls from myself and family. They remained steady and ready. When we arrived for our ceremony that morning, the chairs, the arch, everything was set up and perfect. Our families were very happy and impressed with the attention to detail and service. We had our reception off site, but had a "planning" lunch there a couple weeks prior, and I have to say, it was very good, as well. Thank you to all for being part of our special day!

I don't even know where to start. The inn is a mixture of old New England charm with modern amenities. First of all, our room was perfect. The king bed was wonderfully comfy. The sitting room was lovely and the bathroom was amazing. There was a jetted tub with a HUGE walk-in shower. We could not have asked for more.
Rudy is an amazing chef. For dinner, I had seared scallops over a lemon thyme risotto that was amazing. Everyone in our wedding party felt the same way about their food.
And speaking of a wedding party, what a perfect place to get married. Our party was small--there were just the 8 of us. We had the ceremony in our suite, and it could not have been better. After dinner, we all went back up to our suite, to find that Rudy and Laura had sent a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries up to our room. That's just a small sample of the hospitality that we experienced over the 5 days that we were there. Everyone on staff was so helpful and accommodating.
If you are considering a wedding near Rindge/Keene, I could not recommend the Woodbound Inn highly enough. I promise that you will not be disappointed.
