My wife and I had such a wonderful wedding reception here. It was worth every single penny that was spent in my opinion. Not only were the staff helping us plan the wedding kind and patient, they truly went above and beyond to help us plan out our day. On the day of the wedding, we were able to get ready in the reception before heading over to the church. They provided breakfast, someone to help my wife and I (separately) with whatever we needed, and had the room and space to host all 20+ of us to get ready. 10/10 would recommend.

From the moment I saw the Coach House at The Ryland Inn, I knew it was where I wanted to celebrate our wedding! It’s such a beautiful venue, and having our reception there made it even more special to us. Danielle was a tremendous help throughout the planning process, and we’re so grateful for the care she and the entire staff put into making our day so wonderful. The food was delicious, and we received so many compliments from our guests about both the food and how beautiful the venue was. We had the best time celebrating with our family and friends! The Coach House will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you, Danielle and the entire team, for helping make our wedding a day we’ll cherish forever! 🤍

From the moment we toured Waterloo Village, we knew it was the perfect venue for us. Diane gave us a lovely, thorough tour, and we immediately fell in love with the property. Photos truly don’t do it justice! Once you walk the grounds and experience the venue in person, you realize just how unique, beautiful, and special it is. We worked closely with our wedding coordinator, Nic, and truly cannot say enough amazing things about him. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and thorough throughout the entire planning process. We felt completely at ease knowing we were in such good hands. His assistant coordinator, Jordan, was equally wonderful and so helpful on our wedding day. The entire Waterloo team treated us and our guests with such warmth, care, and generosity, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without stress. On top of the stunning venue and exceptional staff, the food was absolutely incredible! This was  important to us, and Waterloo exceeded our expectations. We were so impressed by the extensive menu options and the care taken to accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies. There was so much food with huge variety, and every bit of it was delicious. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food, the beautiful property, and how wonderful the staff were. Our wedding day truly could not have been more perfect, and so much of that is thanks to Nic and the entire Waterloo Village team. We feel incredibly lucky to have celebrated such a special day here and will cherish the memories forever!

We were looking for a venue that would provide us a space that we could make our own as we envisioned a celestial-themed wedding, complete with planets hanging from the ceiling. Our contact, Stephanie, was fantastic and so prompt in responding to emails, which was great as I was seeking a responsive venue as it would make all the difference in coordinating with other vendors in the wedding planning process. On the day of, Stephanie worked with our day of coordinators, our vendors, and everyone on staff to make our day truly unique and memorable. For our day, we used the available bride and groom suites, the cube room, and the ballroom area divided into sections for cocktail hour and the reception. The Ballroom area has built-in light settings that really set the mood and added to our vendors' existing uplighting and our guests were able to take advantage of Golden Hour to take pictures on the walkway outside of the ballroom area as well, making for heavenly photos. We also took advantage of Bell Works' Bell Market Catering to feed our vendors breakfast and lunch on our wedding day and that was conveniently delivered to the groom's suite in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Bell Works for anyone needing a large space for out-of-this-world ideas!

Our wedding at Felina was nothing short of amazing! From our very first meeting with Carissa, Felina’s event coordinator, every step of the planning process was seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married at Felina even before we were engaged, but even in our wildest dreams, we couldn’t have imagined what an absolutely perfect day it would turn out to be. We had 80 guests, and the space was perfect for our intimate wedding. The architecture and lighting are stunning, the food is exceptional, and the staff is incredibly kind, detail-oriented, and attentive. We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Amalia, my bridal attendant, and Riccardo, the maître d’. Along with Carissa, they were the dream team! I think it’s rare for a bride to be able to say that she genuinely wasn’t stressed for a single moment on her wedding day, but thanks to the Felina team, I was able to relax and enjoy every single second. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue was and how incredible the food was. We are so grateful to the entire Felina team for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be, and more. We can’t thank you enough and would HIGHLY recommend Felina to anyone considering it for their wedding!

We held our reception at the Maplewood Woman's Club, and it was a perfect venue for us. It's a large open space with beautiful high ceilings, and this allowed us to really create the look we wanted. There were few restrictions, so we were able to bring in all of our rentals (as well as food and alcohol). One thing to note: there is a stage in the space that has curtains. We weren't too bothered by the curtains, and the stage was perfect for our band. There is a decent amount of parking at the venue, and also on the surrounding streets. There is no one on hand to help with wedding planning or coordinating, but that didn't bother us. We were able to bring our caterer one night to look at the space, which was very helpful. Overall, we were very pleased with the venue, the location, and the price!

We used the Colonial Inn for our lodging for family and wedding party, as well as some of our guests. Andrea and the staff were wonderful. All were very helpful. When I realized during my reception that I forgot to check in to my own suite for the night, The Smithville and Colonial Inns worked to make sure I was checked in and had a key. The breakfast baskets were a hit with guests and it was so nice to be able to eat outside with my mom and bridesmaids that morning before getting ready.

Excellent venue, great price and convenience location, beautiful place. The person who help us is very nice, but I little intense in my opinion, She needs to be informed, everyone is different and we like and do things differently from others people. Also she needs to wait until the event is over before she starts cleaning, that is kind of rude. I do appreciate all her help do not understand me wrong, but you will see what i mean.

I don’t know where to begin—Ellie and the rest of the amazing Chalfonte team gave us the wedding day of our dreams! From inquiring with Ellie a year before our wedding up until the day of, Ellie was there for us, answered every question thoughtfully and made us feel seen and taken care of throughout the whole process. We did a family style menu and everyone loved it. Our guests were RAVING about the food especially the fried chicken!! We only had a few guests with dietary restrictions who sought us out to tell us how impressed they were with their meals! Shoutout to the chef and kitchen crew—you guys rock. Above all, everyone who works at The Chalfonte was incredibly kind and went above and beyond for us. The drinks were an absolute hit. Our guests loved them and the bartenders who served them up!! The cocktail hour on the porch was beautiful and we heard from so many guests how much they loved it! We had an eight piece band that fit perfectly in the reception space, plenty of room for dancing, eating and talking. Front desk crew—Maddie, Maggie, Alexis and co. were so wonderful to us and all of our friends and family. The Chalfonte is a special place. We are immensely grateful to everyone there. We look forward to the days when we get to go back and visit! Amazing team!!!
