Colleen P. Sent on 10/24/2021Absolutely the best day of our lives!
We had our wedding reception at Coachmens Lodge on October 9th and it was the most amazing day of our lives!
First; the grounds/reception room:
The owner of Coachmens Lodge puts soo much work into making the outside and inside of the venue so beautiful! All during our wedding we received so many compliments on what a beautiful reception we picked. The flower bushes, grass and the view of the pond are absolutely gorgeous! There was so much room for everyone to spread out and enjoy that afternoon/evening.
The Staff:
We have been working with Amanda since day 1 back in November 2019. She has been so attentive and helpful with the entire process of planning! Unfortunately because of Covid we had a few snags along the way. Originally planning for October 2020 we thought about doing an outdoor tent because of restrictions. The owner and Amanda worked tirelessly to find solutions (since we have big family we needed the space). Because Gov Baker lowered capacity for events a month before our wedding we decided to postpone a year. Amanda was so flexible with us giving us multiple dates in the summer of 2021 but we decided to wait the full year. I’ve heard horror stories of 2020 brides and their venues not being accommodating but we had zero problems. We could not have asked for a better coordinator!!
The Food;
AMAZING! The one thing we hated going to other weddings was the food. You get the typical chicken or steak and we did NOT want that. We decided to ask if the banquet chef could make something different for us; thanksgiving dinner family style! They were absolutely thrilled to do something different and fun! We did 3 specialty cocktails: apple cinnamon sangria, white pear sangria and pumpkin beer with a caramel cinnamon sugar rim (amazing!). We also did a taco bar that was an absolute hit and all of our guests raved over the hors d’oeuvres (bacon wrapped scallops, crab rangroons and chicken teriyaki skewers!). We did end up paying a little extra for 3 hors d’oeuvres and the specialty dinner but it was absolutely worth the money and let’s just say no one left hungry that night!
All in all I would highly suggest taking a drive over to coachmens lodge to check them out, they made our fall wedding come true!! Every detail, every phone call, every meeting made the experience 100% worth going with them for our wedding. You will not be disappointed! -

It's not every day that we get to plan a surprise engagement party, and thanks to the incredible venue and our phenomenal coordinator, Dan Larue, it turned into an absolutely unforgettable experience!
From the moment we walked into Coachmen's Lodge, we knew it was the right choice. The ambiance was enchanting, with twinkling fairy lights, elegant decor, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that set the stage for a magical evening.
But what truly made this night extraordinary was our coordinator, Dan Larue. Dan's attention to detail, enthusiasm, and dedication to making our celebration perfect were evident from the very beginning. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that everything ran smoothly, from coordinating with vendors to overseeing the surprise reveal. Dan's expertise and creativity transformed our ideas into a reality that far exceeded our expectations.
One of the standout features of the venue was the beautiful outdoor patio, where we had the big surprise moment. Dan orchestrated the whole thing flawlessly, ensuring that the timing and atmosphere were just right. The look on our faces when we saw the love and support of our friends and family will forever be etched in our memories.
The culinary delights served at the party were exquisite. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the quality of the food and the attentive service provided by the staff.
Throughout the evening, Dan was there, making sure every detail was attended to, ensuring that we were stress-free and able to enjoy our special moment. His professionalism and dedication were truly remarkable, and we cannot thank him enough for his exceptional service.
In conclusion, Coachmen's Lodge and Dan Larue made our surprise engagement party an absolute dream come true. The venue's beauty, the delectable cuisine, and Dan's unwavering support and expertise all combined to create a night that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. If you're looking for a venue for a memorable event and a coordinator who goes above and beyond, look no further. We highly recommend Coachmen's Lodge and Dan Larue for your next celebration!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our engagement so incredibly special. -

Rehearsal Luncheon: 10/28/2023
Wedding: 10/29/2023
Where do I begin? We spent the last year and half planning our wedding and Coachmen’s Lodge was everything we could’ve asked for and more to hold our wedding.
To start, the food was absolutely amazing, between the stationary displays at the rehearsal luncheon, welcome drinks for our guests before the ceremony, the passed appetizers and charcuterie display during our cocktail hour, the family style dinner and the decadent dessert display the catered for us from wrights dairy farm, everything was so delicious and was hot upon being served and was consistent and overall amazing throughout.
And where do I begin with Dani (Daniel Larue) who was with us every step of the way, from the first appointment where we spent hours going into detail about every room, every event space, every potential option, to the wedding itself, you helped guide us through every step of the process so seamlessly whether it was for table cloths, cake options, finalizing our numbers and meals. And who could forget those sparkly shoes every single time we saw you, we looked forward to seeing what color they were everytime we saw you lol. You did an absolutely incredible job and the way you checked in with us throughout the weekend every so often was so appreciated and the thoughtfulness of it did not go unnoticed.
To end, thank you for being flexible with us when it came to transitioning to a rain plan and making the transition so seamless and for checking it with us as often as possible to make sure things were going to plan if not better than planned. Originally we were going to do the ceremony in the cocktail garden outside and the cocktail hour in the four seasons patio and when rain came into play, they gave us till 12pm on the day of the wedding to make the final call and when we made the call they quickly rearranged into the Wheelock Room and sent us a picture of the set up and it was even better than we could’ve imagined. Everything about the day was amazing so thank you Coachmen’s So Much for everything! -

Coachmen’s Lodge is a hidden gem! I had attended a bridal shower there and was so impressed by the food I added it to my list of venues. We had Dani as our planner and he did not steer us wrong. You can choose between several packages based on your budget. The food is INCREDIBLE and they were very accommodating for food allergies. The grounds are incredible! There’s so many options for photos. So happy this was our venue! -

Our wedding was September 30th of this year and to say it was perfect is an understatement. Our coordinator Dan was extremely responsive and helped us through every step of the planning process. The food is absolutely worth it and our guests enjoyed all of it. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and made our wedding picture perfect and exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend this venue for any family gathering. -

Expect your guests to ask you "Where did you find this place?" all night long!!! When searching for a venue we wanted an indoor reception but an outdoor ceremony and cock-tail hour that was reasonably priced. This is the perfect place. It is also close to the Rhode Island airport for those out of state guests. The views are picture perfect. There are different locations to have your ceremony, cock-tail hour, and reception. We settled on the pond view for the ceremony. We then had our cock-tail hour in the garden area with a beautiful water feature and pergola and ended the night inside a gorgeous renovated ballroom with a giant fireplace. Overall all the details are prefect, the food is amazing, the sangria was delicious, and the staff are so friendly and professional.
This venue comes with a wedding coordinator and an assistant for the day of. Our coordinator was Dani and his assistant was Kaylee. Dani met with us several times to go over every detail and offer great unique suggestions such as having our first dance under the pergola during cocktail hour. We also picked almost all of his vendor suggestions. We had our rehearsal dinner at the venue and we felt very prepared with Kaylee running our rehearsal.
For the rehearsal we picked the patio location to have a place different location from our wedding day. It was beautiful and the food was amazing. We also had an entire lawn area for lawn games if we wanted to add fun elements to the rehearsal dinner.
For the wedding day there is a beautiful bridal suite with a private bathroom to get your getting ready shots and use through out the night for touchups. The grounds are prefect for pictures and are lit up at night for more photo opportunities. The ballroom itself has amazing lighting features for the dance floor and bar area. They think of everything.
Overall we have no regrets about this venue. We only wished we hired more photographers to take pictures of everything! There are so many great photo spots. I would recommend this venue to anyone!

Jennifer D. Sent on 09/21/2020So happy we chose Coachmen's!
We decided on Coachmen's as our venue 6 months prior to Covid. From the start Amanda (Wedding Coordinator) was amazing to work with. She was so pleasant and made feel comfortable that things would get done. When Covid hit, we kept in constant contact and kept each other up to date on everything, from guest counts, to guidelines, to stressors. She was always so positive and willing to work with us on everything. I heard so many horror stories from other venues and brides, but I was soo happy we did not experience any of that. We moved forward with our original date with a much smaller guest list and it was the absolute perfect day. The garden is absolutely stunning and the food was fantastic. I still have guests telling me how amazing everything was and that they loved the venue. Can't wait to continue to visit for dinner :) Thank you all so much for pulling together the best micro wedding ever!. -

Amazing wedding venue
Coachmen’s lodge was perfect for our wedding! We toured many venues prior to booking but knew Coachmen’s lodge was the one almost immediately. We booked prior to COVID but ended up postponing our date (from September 2020 to June 2021). Alicia, our wedding coordinator, was fantastic throughout the entire process. She was extremely responsive, patient, and supportive as we tried to navigate through wedding planning during a pandemic. She was always so positive and helped us with so many decisions along the way. The grounds at coachmen’s are beautiful and perfect for wedding photos. We also got many compliments about the food! Months later and our guests are still raving about the whole venue! -

Wedding of Our Dreams
10/10 Highly recommend for any event type. We are forever grateful to Amanda and her team.
We initially approached Amanda with a near impossible task... to plan a full indoor/outdoor wedding in December during COVID— ALL IN A WEEK’S TIME!!!! Amanda helped my fiancé and I understand exactly what was needed to accomplish, help source outside vendors including cake & floral arrangements, and put us at ease that this would be actually doable.
The end result was the wedding of our dreams. It was hailed as “the best wedding ever” from all in attendance. Not only was the wedding executed tastefully & to plan without hiccups, but the attention to detail was incredible and put the event over the top.
She was kind, accommodating, and in the end, a miracle worker. Thank you for everything, Amanda. We owe you big time!!! -

Amazing Experience on our wedding day
My wife and I got married on 10/10/21 and we cannot speak highly enough of our experience working with Coachmens lodge. We had so many compliments from our guest about the grounds and friendly staff. We worked closely with Amanda and Demitiri who made it clear that they were there for anything we needed. Amanda was incredible leading up to the event and an amazing help day of. The food, including passed apps, a stationary setting, and passed meals, were out of this world. There were so many beautiful locations to take photos, host cocktail hour, and have your ceremony. We used the four seasons room which we loved with the windows overlooking the grounds. Thank you again for the experience of a life time! -

Colleen Sent on 10/13/2020Amazing! Highly recommend!
We were originally planning our 10/10/20 wedding at the Coachmen’s Lodge but unfortunately due to covid we had to postpone to 10/9/21 with the help and support of our wedding coordinator Amanda included in our wedding package, she has been so amazing and has really worked hard to try and make this process stress-free and what we want! One of the biggest positives is how DELICIOUS their food is!! We didn’t want our guests to have typical *blah* wedding food. The events chef was excited to make something different (thanksgiving dinner!) for our guests. The views of the pond and the rustic interior of the Four Seasons Room are so amazing and fit right in for our rustic fall wedding vision and the owner puts in a lot of time and effort in to the landscape looking over their pond. If you’re looking for a wedding venue with fantastic coordinators and attentive staff look no further than Coachmen’s Lodge! -

My wedding was magical
I do not have enough words to express how amazing this venue was. From the moment I walked in until the day after Dani and his staff took care of me every step of the way. I will definitely look into using this venue for another event -
