David's Country Inn Reviews

We had the most incredible experience working with Brandon and the staff at DCI. The venue is so gorgeous and has such character and charm (which makes for great photos even on a rainy day!). We are not from the Hackettstown area but when we walked into our tour, we knew immediately we had found our dream venue. The whole staff is so accommodating and take such good care of you on your big day. They are flexible, fun, positive, detail oriented, and caring. Not only are all the spaces absolutely stunning and the staff so wonderful but the FOOOOOD! There is so much incredible food that our family and friends could not stop gushing over. Lastly, my husband and I are teachers who were nervous of overspending, but David's was worth every penny. You get so much for a great deal, I am so so so glad we were able to be a part of the DCI family!

Our wedding at David’s was truly a dream! Our coordinator Brandon was always on point, making sure our day ran smoothly and flawlessly. The outdoor ceremony setting with the fireplace was intimate and romantic and the reception room was grand and stunning. The venue is historic, rustic and absolutely breathtaking. The staff really catered to us to make sure we had everything we needed and they made everything turn out even better than we ever imagined. Their expertise and passion for weddings really made our day magical and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Having our wedding at David's Country Inn was a dream come true! From planning to day of execution the process was smooth. We were looking for a venue that would take care of us as bride and groom, David's did just that! From getting ready in the Warren Suite to our on-site ceremony to the reception, it was an exceptional event. Our guests raved about the food and venue aesthetic. It truly was a 10/10. Our team that worked with us was excellent! Special shoutout to our event coordinator, Hannah and maitre d, Brenda for such a special evening. I absolutely recommend having your wedding at this venue, you will not be disappointed!

I cannot rave about David’s Country Inn enough! We are so thrilled with our wedding day and that we chose DCI as our venue. DCI is a beautiful venue filled with so much character and charm. There is only one wedding a day and you get the whole venue to yourself. Our wedding felt like a big house party, which we loved. The staff at DCI is unbeatable, they are so experienced and a well-oiled machine. Every staff member that was a part of our day was so professional, warm, and really made us feel special and taken care of. Our event manager, Brandon, was so communicative throughout our entire planning process within the couple months leading up to the wedding and finalizing all the details. Our day was beautiful, perfect, and stress-free, huge huge thanks to everyone at DCI. Our family and friends could not stop raving about our entire wedding, from food, drinks, people, venue aesthetic, and more. We wish we could do it all again and could not be more lucky with how absolutely lovely our day was. Highly recommend David’s Country Inn, they are perfection!!!!!!

I have been dreading making this post because I know David’s has 5 stars and I don’t want to be the reason they get a bad review. But after talking with my husband for 2 weeks with no reach out via email from David’s asking any follow ups we felt like we needed too.

To start Sarah was ALWAYS amazing and attentive when we first signed on with the venue. We loved her!

The good: Everyone raved about how beautiful our venue was and how there were so many unique photo ops. Our professional photos came out amazing! It truly was the greatest night of our lives regardless of anyone or anything else.

The BAD: Once we got placed with our day of coordinator we did not feel confident or comfortable about how the wedding would go. We would get mixed messages from conversations constantly, things were always confusing. I myself am a wedding planner so I knew the service was not great.

At our final walk through we felt like we were being belittled and judged by our coordinator for things that we wanted and for being so particular. Again I’m a wedding planner so my mind is always in wedding planning mode. We were also paying a lot for a wedding at this venue so I expected it to be the way my husband and i planned, we didn’t expect to feel judged for being particular.

Our wedding morning was a dream and our bridal suite attendant was SO sweet. We loved her so much and she made sure that the both of us were so comfortable. But again our day of coordinator was not the best and made me personally more stressed than anything. She did not plan any of our day smoothly in our opinion. It was all frazzled and thrown together. Cocktail hour ran late. She didn’t line up our family or bridal party in time. They were told to fill out their meal cards before they lined up for their entrances but weren’t told where to do so. They asked us multiple times how to do this which we also didn’t know and our coordinator was no where to be found for answers. Luckily we ran into Brandon who fixed the issue. Took all of our orders and got the ball rolling. He was a dream and I wish we worked with him from the jump.

Our guests were escorted into the ballroom at 7:30 an half hour late and were not served dinner until 9:30 (I know this because our coordinator showed me her watch as they started passing out food) when our reception ended at 11. leaving not much time for dancing. In the time after speech’s, what we thought was dinner, my husband and I went upstairs, changed, took second look photos which took at least 45 minutes, we ventured back into the ballroom expecting the party to be getting started…dinner was still not served. When I asked my coordinator why and explained to her I wanted to ask my DJ to shift to party music and to begin dancing (something we had always told her from day one of our communication was important to us) she said to me “I know you guys are partiers but I need YOU to eat food first” … I could never imagine saying that to one of my clients.

My husband and I both didn’t have our phones on us because we were enjoying our night which felt normal to us. At the end of the night without us realizing the time our shuttle drivers asked to talk to someone about pickup. The staff directed them to my husband causing him to miss the last song being played at HIS wedding, which again we paid a lot of money for. And again, as I wedding planner if I heard the last song announced I would never pull a groom from a bride. It’s just known to be something to NEVER do to a client. You only get one wedding night. Because of this my brother went up to staff asking if he could offer them money to pay for the extra half hour as he wanted his brother in law to get to experience the last song of his wedding night but could tell they were rushing people out of the venue. He was told “your money is no good here the night is over”… WHAT?! The staff tried to back track and say they were trying to save the DJ from playing over his allotted time BUT our DJ is a close personal friend who also felt horrible about what was happening and was also asking for the ability to play ONE more song for my husband so he could fully experience his wedding night. When I expressed my concern and asked for my coordinator I was told she wasn’t there anymore and had left at 10pm and that it was already 11:15 so I couldn’t be upset because we already went 15 minutes over our time. I explained that neither I or my husband had our phones on us because they were in the bridal suite. It was our wedding day & we wanted to be as in the moment as we could. Because of this we had no concept of time and also no one from David’s came up to us with a time warning before this mess. This is when Brandon came in and saved our wedding day once again. If anyone there deserves a raise it is this amazing man. He went out and talked to our busses, which were fine waiting a few more moments. Arranged a private last dance for me and my husband so he could at least have a moment to end the night since they cleared out our guests as fast as they could after the last song. And just all around calmed my anxieties. No one should ever be brought to tears on there wedding day like I was, but Brandon really helped turn the almost ruined end of the night around.

Also to note: They planned a “relive your wedding” night event the day after my wedding and used my flowers, centerpieces, extra florals without asking first. Which normally would have been fine but after the hell I went through the night before seemed in very poor taste. They took apart my center pieces to make smaller ones for their event. Saving themselves money & offering nothing to me in return. My parents went to pick up extra center pieces for loved ones the next morning and they were taken apart and told “thank you you saved us a trip to a florist we forgot to order flowers”

They ran out of sprite at cocktail hour even though we paid for the highest shelf bar package & started making drinks with club soda thinking no one would notice.

You have to pay over one hundred extra dollars for your food tastings and barely get to try any food you’ll serve at your wedding. It was a rip off and it was not clearly stated in our email. When I complained to my coordinator she said she gave the option for a private tasting. In our email about tasting it stated “If you have sever food allergies we recommend you book a private tasting” which me & my husband do not have sever allergies. When I expressed concern to my coordinator she said “I told you that you had the option to book a private tasting in my initial email” … no she didn’t.

We cannot recommend David's Country Inn enough! Not only is the venue beautifully unique, but the staff are all amazing! Our day was absolutely flawless and the staff including our coordinator, Hannah, and bridal assistant, Brenda, were on top of everything! They are truly professionals and love what they do. Our guests raved about the food as everything was delicious! Our day was beyond perfect and we cannot thank David's and their staff enough for making our dreams come true!

The entire staff at David’s is the best! They work tirelessly to make your special day exactly what you want it to be. From my first email, Hannah was responsive and so sweet. David’s is the whole package, beautiful indoors and out, an amazing bridal/grooms suite and fantastic food. When we arrived the day off the wedding, everything was handled for us. Brenda worked her butt off from 7am to who knows that time and she never broke a sweat. I truly felt like she, and Hannah, and I were friends at the end of it all. We even had a hiccup with an outside vendor and I had no idea. Hannah handle it, made things happen and it was great. Everyone, everyone! Had a blast and we all wished the night couldn’t have gone on longer. I can’t thank Hannah, Brenda, Brandon, and everyone at David’s enough for giving us a wonderful experience.

We fell in love with David's on our first tour. The place itself is absolutely beautiful and decorated so nicely. Each room feels purposeful and our guests had such a great time taking photos throughout the building.

The whole David's team was wonderful! Brian, who gave us a tour, was so knowledgeable and friendly that we felt like we were in great hands. He helped me make early payment installments, even before we were assigned our day of coordinator. Kristian was our coordinator and I can't say enough about her! She was friendly and answered all of my non-stop questions. She was so excited when we finally met her in person at the tasting and even more so when we dropped off our decor. She made us feel right at home. On the days leading up to the wedding, I knew she had everything in hand, and it allowed me to be excited without stressing out. On the day of, our bridal attendant, Karley, was absolutely wonderful. David's bridal suite can be closed into two separate areas, so the groom doesn't see the bride, and Karley made sure we both had food and drinks as needed. Alex, our bartender, remembered our guest's drinks after one round. I started feeling a bit off halfway through the night, and the David's team was checking up on me and bringing me drinks to help calm my stomach.

I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a family atmosphere with a more personalized touch. I can't wait to come back and visit as a guest!

The venue is absolutely beautiful, the 3rd floor suite to get ready and hang out in is wonderful, the food was amazing, the staff is all amazing, the help they give for the entire process is AMAZING.

David’s was incredible! My now husband and I fell in love with the venue for its beauty and rich character, and were absolutely blown away by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Hannah and Brenda were so amazing on our wedding day, everything went so smoothly and they were so knowledgeable and took care of all my concerns! Any questions we had, they were answered promptly. The food was AMAZING (we still have guests reaching out to us about how amazing the bacon wrapped scallops and fried shrimp were), overall everything was just incredible and we have the staff at David’s to thank for the most beautiful day of our lives.

We cannot recommend David’s Country Inn enough! From the first tour to post wedding, they are truly pros! They made our wedding day easy and stress free. The venue itself is gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for. We are still getting compliments about how wonderful the food was too. If you’re a bride, absolutely check out David’s!

David's Country Inn provided excellent service for my wife and I throughout the course of our wedding day. The staff did a terrific job making sure all of the details we requested were taken care of. The service throughout the event was top notch and the food was delicious. I could not say enough good things about our experience with DCI.

David’s Country Inn is the best wedding venue ever! The whole staff made our wedding vision come to life and helped the day go by so smoothly. It was such a pleasure to work with Hannah and Brian. They were there every step of the way and answered every single question I had for them. The staff made sure our guests were taken care of and cared about. They even held umbrellas for us in the rain to make sure we wouldn’t get wet during the ceremony. I cannot thank the team enough for making our day absolutely perfect. This is a venue that cares deeply about your experience and your guests experience. It was the best day and our guests are still talking about it! Thank you so much, David’s Country Inn!

My (now) husband and I had the absolute BEST wedding day at this venue. When we look back on that day, we really can't think of anything that went wrong. From the moment we got there until the moment we left, everyone was so helpful. The food was great! Our guests RAVED about the beauty of the venue and the efficiency/professionalism of the staff.

Even before the big day, Kristian was so, so helpful, it was unbelievable how much time and dedication she put into every single question I asked. I could not have had such a smooth day with her and everyone else at David's. I am so happy that we chose this venue and cannot say enough good things.

Seriously, get married here if you want to have the absolute best wedding you could imagine!

We got married at David's Country Inn on 05/25/2023 and we could not be happier with our choice. This place is the most beautiful and perfect venue for a wedding! The entire staff was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was spectacular! All of our guests raved about it after the fact and had a great time! Everything on our day went absolutely perfect and we are forever grateful for everyone there that helped!
Special shoutout to Sarah, Brenda, Hannah and Alex and everyone else involved for making our night one we will never forget!

I could go on forever about how amazing my experience was at David's Country Inn. I got married on February 25th, 2023 and from the minute we toured with Sarah, we knew it was the venue for us. She was incredible throughout the whole planning process and on the day of. We received countless compliments on the food and how stunning the venue was inside and out. So many people from the area kept saying "this is such a hidden gem". Every vendor that they recommended was incredible and we seriously had our dream day. I am so excited for every couple getting married here because I know you will have your dream wedding!

I was looking for a venue that was elegant and historic but not too rustic or farm, and David’s was perfect!!! The cocktail space is amazing, my guests were raving about how beautiful the whole place was. The new ballroom is beautiful and sophisticated. There’s just so many details that make the space feel special. Sarah was my coordinador and was so helpful leading up to it and the day of. Everything was so seamless and perfect! Everything ran so smoothly, I never felt stressed. There are so many beautiful photo spots both inside and outside. The food was great, especially the cocktail hour! My husband was happy they work with the local breweries and had craft beer available too. I truly cannot say enough good things about David’s! I got married in December and it was the PERFECT spot for a romantic, cozy Christmas wedding.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way, and so much of that had to do with David’s. The venue is so unique - something that did not go unnoticed by our guests, everyone loved it. Each detail gives such a warm feel, and the staff is no exception. Sarah was beyond amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was so responsive, no matter how far out our wedding was. The level of hospitality is unmatched - food and service the night of our wedding was impeccable. I cannot say enough great things about David’s!! We are so thankful we chose to have our most special day here and will remember it for a lifetime.

Our biggest day could have not been successful without the staff at David’s Country Inn. We were looking for a venue that was rustic and that had character. The minute we walked into the venue, we knew our big day would be there. The food options were sooooo amazing, the outdoor area where we had our ceremony was romantic and and indoor venue is really rustic, vintage, but also modern. They recently did a new renovation after we did the original venue visit and It really made a huge difference. We were lucky to get the renovations for our wedding which really made us even more excited for the day of the wedding. As beautiful as the venue was, I think the partnership and the help from the staff is what really makes or breaks a wedding and they honestly knocked It out the park. They provided us with A++++ service from beginning to end but especially during the last month up to the wedding. I really have to give a huge thanks to our wedding coordinator, Sarah, as well as Brenda and Brian. I honestly don’t know what we would have done if It wasn’t for them. Till this day we still talk about how much they’ve helped us throughout that entire day. Overall, David’s country Inn is like no other and if you want a unique look for you and your guest to remember, there is no other choice in the New Jersey area. Thank you for everything David’s Country Inn.

Everyone at Davids made our wedding the most incredible day. We could not have asked for a better venue & staff. David's made the process so easy for us and on the day of the wedding made sure everything went as planned. Everyone was so professional and helpful throughout the process. We worked directly with Hannah for most of the process and she answered every question promptly and was extremely helpful. David's is such a unique and incredible venue. The recent renovation makes it even more so. 10/10! The food was also incredible.

We had our wedding on 9/3/2022 and we could not have picked a better venue. David's Country Inn is an amazing venue that has so much character that very little decorating is needed to create the wedding of your dreams. Everyone we interacted with throughout the process (especially our coordinator Sarah ) was so helpful and answered allll the questions we had while planning. We used the Warren suite for both myself and my husband to get ready and it was so spacious and beautiful that all the getting ready photos look like they should be in a magazine. Literally nothing went wrong during the wedding, the outdoor ceremony was beautiful and I cannot say enough about the food. To this day, we still have people raving about the food and the general atmosphere. Do not think twice about booking David's, you will not regret it!

Having our wedding at David's Country Inn was the best possible decision we could have made . David's is such a beautiful and unique space. Our guests were raving about the venue the entire night exclaiming how perfect it was and how good the food was (which is very important to me personally). We got ready in the Warren Suite, had the ceremony in the newly renovated ballroom, and had our cocktail hour and reception on site. The transitions were stress-free and the vibe of the day was exactly what we wanted. My husband and I just wanted our family and friends to have the most fun with us and that is what we got at David's Country Inn.
The most amazing aspect to me was how attentive the staff is. Special shoutout to Maggie who is the best bridal attendant I could have asked for. On the day of, when small things were going wrong, Maggie went to my bridesmaids to come up with solutions and did not come to me. By the time I learned of things that had gone wrong, Maggie and my bridesmaids already came up with the solutions. Once I saw this in action, my stress evaporated and I felt so relaxed because I knew I was in good hands. Maggie also took my decorations with no instructions and knew exactly what to do with them. She really helped my day come together.
Overall, David's Country Inn is a beautiful and unique venue specifically for the couple that does not want a generic hall. You will be taken care of here I can guarantee you that. I wish I could relive my day over and over again at David's Country Inn!

We got married at David’s on 6.10.22. It’s difficult to find the words to express just how amazing this venue is. David’s exceeded all of my expectations and I am so thankful to all of the staff for providing us with an absolutely perfect wedding day. The first time we toured the venue I was taken aback by how beautiful it was. David’s aesthetic really sets it apart from other venues. It is the perfect classic/vintage venue with modern twists. However, there is so much more to this venue than how breathtaking it is. The staff is phenomenal. We were so lucky to have Sarah as our coordinator. I can’t thank Sarah enough for all that she did for us during the planning process and on our wedding day. She was there every step of the way, always very responsive and accommodating. Sarah made sure every aspect of our day went smoothly. She is truly great at her job and I was at ease all day knowing that she was there for us. I am so appreciative of all that she did for us! We also had a lot of compliments from guests on how friendly all of the wait staff and bartenders were as well! Every interaction we had with the staff was positive. Also, everyone raved about the food! Our cocktail hour, dinner, and desert were amazing. If anyone is considering David’s as their venue, I highly encourage it. It was by far the best choice we made—my only wish is that I could relive the day one more time!

I cannot say enough about David’s Country Inn! Sarah was our coordinator and she was absolutely incredible throughout the whole process. All of the staff is also so nice and helpful. The venue inside and out is so beautiful, elegant, and the recent ballroom renovations are so gorgeous! The gardens are all so well kept and cared for. All of the food was amazing, from the delicious spread at cocktail hour to the Venetian hour at the end with specialty espresso drinks and desserts! Our wedding day was so perfect and seamless at David’s. I cannot recommend them more, they do an amazing job.

I got married in April 2022 and had the best experience with David's! Here are my top 4 reasons why y'all need to book this venue asap!

1) The venue itself is so unique, charming and beautiful. It is even more stunning after the ballroom renovations! We got so many compliments from our guests and so many great photos because there are a lot of picturesque spots all around.
2) The food was delicious and abundant. Again, we got so many compliments from our guests, especially on the lamb chops and grilled cheese/tomato shooters. We also chose to do the shake shack station at the end of the night which was a hit. No one went home hungry that's for sure!
3) The staff was amazing to work with! Hannah was our coordinator and she answered all our questions in a timely manner up until the day of the wedding. We did things like a package upgrade (from Ideal to Deluxe) and switched cocktail hour from outside to inside the day before, and all of these changes were handled seamlessly. On the day, Hannah and our maitre D also ensured we were taken care of. They had a sampler plate of all our cocktail hour food ready for us to scarf down after our photoshoot, they got us drinks throughout the night and even packed up all our decor and top tier cake all neatly for us to pick up the next day.
4) The value. You honestly get so much for the price. When touring other venues, we were floored by how much some other places were. In order to get within budget, other places offered to take things away. But not David's, we got everything we wanted and more and stayed in budget!

My only critique would be that it is not the biggest venue. During my whole planning process, I was so nervous that not everyone was going to fit. We invited 200 and had about 170 come. Everyone fit comfortably during cocktail hour and dinner, but there were definitely times that it felt a tad cramped on the dance floor. So just wanted to put that out there for any brides who may have a larger guest count.

Other than that, David's Country Inn was an absolute gem and we totally recommend!
