    The best place to have a beautiful barn wedding

    I'm not sure where to start. We got married 9/19/25 at Salem Cross inn. And it was just amazing! We chose Salem Cross for multiple reasons. One of the biggest, especially when it comes to a wedding, the cost and the food! No price gouging on particular days of the week or time of the year! Was very well priced, and the food! Omg!!! The food is ALL amazing!!! The hourderves were incredible! The entrees as well. We knew the food was going to be amazing as we attended a fire place feast (highly recommend those as well!!!). They are a restaurant, so the quality of food and the taste is extremely important to the venue as it is to you and your guest! Also we wanted a barn wedding. And Salem Cross is an actual, original barn. Not just a new barn someone built as a venue because it's trendy. They've been in business for years!! Actually during the fireplace feast we sat with a couple that had been married there at the barn 30yrs prior!! Nancy and Donna who run Salem Cross are incredible ladies!!! So helpful, quick responses, always accommodating to anything we needed or wanted to do! Everyone of our guests LOVED the venue, the food, the cake, everything!!! They also have a preferred vendor list that came in very handy. We used Kristin Woodis for our justice of the peace/ceremony coordinator and she was also fantastic to work with and very easy to work with!

    Best choice we made!

    Choosing the Salem Cross Inn was one of the easiest - and best decisions we made for our wedding! From the moment we first visited, Nancy made us feel so welcome and informed. You could instantly sense the passion she and her family have for their food, the restaurant, and every event they host.

    We were lucky enough to get our preferred date, and from that point on, planning with the venue was seamless. Nancy and Donna were always just an email or call away, responding quickly and thoroughly to any question we had. Our final planning meeting with them was incredibly helpful—they offered thoughtful suggestions about seating and overall setup that made the day flow perfectly.

    The pricing was straightforward and reasonable, especially considering the incredible quality of the experience. So many guests told us it was the best prime rib they’ve ever had—not just at a wedding, but anywhere! Watching it cook in the fireplace added such a unique and memorable touch. From our initial tasting to the night of the wedding, every dish was absolutely delicious.

    The venue itself is stunning. We were lucky with the weather (75 and sunny in April!) so we held our ceremony outside, followed by dinner and formalities in the barn, and then dancing downstairs in the cozy fireplace room. It was perfect. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, helpful, and genuinely seemed happy to be part of our day.

    We truly couldn’t have imagined our wedding anywhere else. Salem Cross Inn made our day magical, and we can’t wait to come back and visit again!

    Even Better Than We Dreamed Of!

    Our wedding at Salem Cross Inn was even better than we dreamed it could be. Everyone at Salem Cross was extremely helpful, from Nancy and Donna, who helped us plan leading up to the wedding day, to the bartenders and waitstaff, who helped make the day feel extra special. (The bartenders took some videos of the wedding day, unprompted, and sent them to us after!)
    Salem Cross's list of recommended vendors made planning the wedding so easy, and everyone they recommended was fabulous.
    Our guests keep raving about Salem Cross, too. Everyone agrees that it's the only wedding they've ever been to where seconds were served at dinner!
    Salem Cross is so magical, from the fields and cows at the back to the barn and indoor ceremony area. We had to pivot at the last minute to having our ceremony indoors, and not only did Nancy and Donna make the last-minute change a breeze, but our ceremony ended up being even more amazing than we'd imagined, especially thanks to the fairy lights and the fire crackling in the background with prime rib roasting.
    We highly recommend Salem Cross and all the people they work with!

    Pete and Anne 10/29/2023.

    From start to finish Donna, Nancy and Martha walked us through every detail and left nothing to chance. They were professional, yet very personable to the familial areas that made our day meaningful and beautiful. They become an extension to a memorable day.

    Incredible Experience!

    My husband and I got married at the Salem Cross Inn in June 2023 and we had a great experience! Donna and Nancy were extremely attentive and helpful with the planning process. We had several phone calls and in-person meetings with them leading up to the day and they always made time for us. I loved being able to get ready in the bridal suite, it was a perfect space to relax and get ready with my bridesmaids before the ceremony. It ended up raining on our wedding day so we got to utilize the downstairs area and it was so cozy with the fire going and the lights on the ceiling. Our guests loved the food - we have received several compliments about the strawberry shortcake and the prime rib. We loved the vibe of the venue and the quality of the experience. I highly recommend the Salem Cross Inn for any event, it is a wonderful backdrop for photos!

    Intimate Wedding Venue

    I've been going to dinners at the Salem Cross Inn throughout my life and I decided to have my wedding here June 2nd 2023. Donna & Nancy were really helpful and attentive leading up to the day! They are very patient and organized.
    If you're looking for a barn style wedding that's more upscale, this is the place! The space itself is perefect if you love an old school, classic New England look. The outdoor space has an amazing backdrop of pastures for great photo ops with the wedding party.
    The food was very good (it always is here). Spring for the fire roasted prime rib if that's your thing, your guests might even see it turning over the hearth in the basement. Can't recommend Salem Cross enough.

    intimate Christmas Wedding

    With only having 32 guests, we had our wedding in the Brookfield room, it was a perfect room. Nancy and Donna were amazing, they guided us from the very beginning until the very end with every detail, it didn't matter that it was a small wedding. I appreciate everything they did for us. Our guests are still raving out the food and venue.

    Dream reception accomplished

    Our experience with the Salem Cross Inn was fantastic, right from the very beginning. From the moment we contacted Donna and Nancy, part of the family who owns the farm, restaurant and venue, we knew that we were in good hands. Both of them made the planning process extremely easy and stress-free, and we only had to make the fun decisions like what food we would serve and the timeframe for our event. Our specific event was unique because my husband was deployed unexpectedly and we had to cancel our planned date. Both Nancy and Donna were very understanding and accommodating and helped us to reschedule the following year once he returned home. In the days and weeks leading up to the event, the barn where we were holding the event, was severely damaged from a vehicle accident. Nancy and Donna contacted us right away and let us know they were going to make it right. Our reception was held in the dining room with dancing down in the tavern, and it was absolutely perfect. The food was outstanding, and the service was even better. The venue has stunning views overlooking a picturesque farm and made our day extra special. We highly recommend booking with Salem cross Inn!

    Wedding Venue

    Salem Cross did a wonderful job helping to make our wedding day special. Donna and Nancy were great hosts and were able to answer all of our questions when they came up. The whole meal was delicious and everyone still talks about it to this day. We lost power for two hours after our ceremony due to a thunderstorm and they handled it with ease and were still able to get all the food out on time and made sure everyone was having a good time. I would recommend this venue to anyone that is getting married in the future.

    Car through the barn, no problem.

    My son's wedding was a beautiful, memorable occasion made possible by the Salem Cross Inn staff even though their venue was taken out that morning by a car through the barn. The staff worked extremely hard to give my son and daughter in law the wedding they had envisioned. They bent over backwards to accommodate every one in the restaurant part of the building even when more people that expected showed up. The food was wonderful, the happy hour had a wide variety of hors d'oeuvres that the guest raved about, the outdoor bar looked like it was always there and the meal was fantastic. Salem Cross Inn and it's staff worked tirelessly till the end to make this a perfect wedding. I would recommend it to anyone.

    It was a perfect night!

    My wife and I were married and had our reception at the Salem Cross Inn last September. We could not have asked for a more beautiful and more accommodating venue! It rained and their contingency plans worked perfectly, followed by pictures on their gorgeous hillside grounds once the sun poked through. The venue was a rustic barn theme that we loved and our guests still talk about that night a year later. It was quite a party! The food was amazing and the staff were super helpful throughout all the steps that go into planning a wedding. I would absolutely recommend checking them out!

    Amazing! Could not recommend them enough.

    We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding at Salem Cross Inn. From the moment we stepped onto the venue, we knew that this is where we were going to get married. The grounds were the perfect backdrop for our special day. There is so much natural beauty and history there. The food and drinks were amazing and not your typical run of the mill wedding food. Everything is fresh and homemade and many of our guests said that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Nancy and Donna were great to deal with and made navigating wedding planning in a pandemic stress free. We could not recommend Salem Cross Inn enough and cannot wait to return in the future for dinner.

    Perfect for our needs

    The pandemic left us without our original venue and no direction to look for a new one in. I started talking with a stranger about my desire to have a wedding at a scenic, rustic setting, and how much I wanted that antique/colonial "vibe", on our somewhat limited budget. They pointed me to Salem Cross Inn and I'm so glad they did.
    SCI had everything me and my new husband were looking for in a venue- sweeping, rolling, beautiful scenery, authentic rustic charm, a gorgeous barn, and the weddings they do are all-inclusive. It was indispensable having everything centralized and under one bill, not having to worry about rentals even if it rained, as well as all food and drink which were absolutely delicious. Their wait staff are all very friendly too. (That also meant we could have the rehearsal with dinner the night before, no problem). They were even able to set us up with their baker for our cake who was equally high-quality, and the fact that we were able to afford it was the best part of all. They were very flexible in many ways; up until the morning of my wedding it looked like it might rain, and I was able to wait until then to make the call as to whether we'd be indoors or out. The bridal suite was perfect for me and my girls; it's nice and bright and good for photos. We also made some very specific requests such as turning the bridal suite into a "quiet space" so that during the wedding loves ones who struggle with sensory stimulation could have a place to decompress in, and they accommodated that, as well as providing small touches like easels and putting up some additional lighting I brought in the barn (shout out to their maintenance person!). Granted, I did feel mildly prodded-at for asking some detailed questions to ensure my vision was pulled off the way I had it in my head (but it was my wedding, and as you can see I like to be thorough) but everything was taken care of and pulled off perfectly on the Day Of.
    Salem Cross Inn is virtually everything I could have hoped for in a venue and was the perfect place to host one of the happiest days of my life.

    Best Venue, Best Staff, Best Day

    We had our Wedding in October 2021, after having to reschedule it three times due to COVID. Donna and the team at Salem Cross Inn were phenomenal. She was understanding, flexible, organized, kind, helpful, knowledgeable... there are not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful she is! Salem Cross Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. The food was amazing, the atmosphere warm, and the dancing untamed. Our guests left happy. It was the best day of my life, and I wholeheartedly believe it was because we picked the perfect venue!

    Salem Cross Inn went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect! All the staff were amazing. They made me feel at ease and helped tremendously in planning my big day. Donna and Nancy were absolutely wonderful to work with while planning my big day. The ceremony outside couldn't have been any more beautiful with some of the most amazing scenery. The food was absolutely delicious! I couldn't have picked a better venue!

    Magical Romance

    If you're looking for a venue that leaves your guests in awe over the historic magical romance this place provides, then the Salem Cross Inn is the venue for you. Both, Nancy and Donna handled our wedding date changing 3 times, due to covid-19, with such grace and elegance that there was never any added stress to our big day! My husband and I always felt like we were apart of their family when in their presence and felt that the two of them made our wedding process easy, fun, and the best experience we could have every hoped for! We highly recommend the Salem Cross Inn.

    Perfect barn wedding venue

    Everything was perfect for our wedding! The food was amazing and everyone was impressed on not only how good it was but also how hot the meal was served.

    Salem Cross are great at making sure you stay on schedule and help coordinate to get everyone inside ready for dinner in time that we didn’t even have to worry about that.

    We served the apple pie for dessert and it is such a great touch and fun way to see each guest. We also had the carriage ride for just us two as we left the ceremony and it was a nice time with just us two before we went back for pictures and the reception. The venue itself is wonderful and such a beautiful area! Highly recommend this venue for a smooth wedding day!

    An absolute dream

    We got married at Salem Cross 10.23.21 and it was nothing short of a dream. It was everything I could’ve envisioned and more. Nancy and Donna were so great to work with throughout the entire process. We had to reschedule due to Covid and they were so accommodating and made the process a breeze. Their professionalism was impeccable, they even helped clear tables the night of! Talk about hard working women. The barn and grounds are absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere is warm, and inviting. The food is the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding (and probably ever will). The entire menu is delightfully curated, featuring hand crafted artisan dishes, made with love from locally sourced ingredients. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing. I will recommend them over and over! Thank you so much for the wedding of our dreams. We can’t wait to come back for years to come!

    Absolutely Perfect

    Nancy and Donna at Salem cross we’re so amazing to work with! I ended up having my wedding in the middle of the first hurricane in 3 decades to make landfall in New England and Nancy was right there the whole time making sure everything went as smoothly as it could! The building and wedding space is perfect. It’s such a cozy environment inside and looks gorgeous all set up and put together. The barn, where the reception is held, was the exact environment I was looking for. The food, was out of this world, all of our appetizers were eaten and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The flow of the reception was not too fast or slow. The staff was so supportive and there for anything that we needed beforehand or during the day. Everything about the day was perfect! My husband and I would 100% recommend Salem cross to anyone!

    Breathtaking Venue

    Words cannot express how happy my husband and I are that we had our wedding at Salem Cross Inn.

    From the moment we connected with the venue, Donna and Nancy have been nothing but professional, supportive, and excited for us.

    On and before our wedding day they coordinated with all of our vendors, and were so organized! All this is so important for a stress free day and just makes Salem Cross Inn an incredible venue to work with.

    The inside, outside, the food, the decor, and all of the small details they provide is BEYOND incredible. All of guests were blown away and still ranting about how it was the best venue they have ever been to for a wedding.

    We chose to do the house salad with their own (amazing) dressing, prime rib, maple jack chicken and their deep dish apple pie and each were such a hit. When I tell you it is the best food we have ever had, I truly mean it.

    We had our ceremony outside in front of the gazebo, cocktail hour in their tap room and outside, dinner in the barn and then back down stairs to the tap room for dancing. Each location is stunning and just adds special elements to each event of the night.

    I highly reccomend Salem Cross Inn, you will not be disappointed, and I promise you will have wedding of your dreams

    Incredibly Happy

    We could not be happier with our experience with Salem Cross Inn. Planning a wedding from across the country is stressful and complicated but Nancy and Donna were quick with their communication and made everything as easy as possible and as such the day went incredibly smoothly. The food was excellent and the barn and grounds were simply stunning. Salem Cross Inn graciously accommodated all our requests especially when it came to our complicated food menu. We had 15 guests who were vegan and several of them told me their meal gave them great ideas for home cooking as it was a meal they had not experienced before. We had 90% thunderstorm forecasted for the day so Salem Cross Inn not only set us up for an outdoor ceremony, but also had an indoor space set up and ready to go if we had to move inside at the last second. Thankfully, the weather held and we were able to enjoy the gorgeous flower garden and gazebo. All in all, we are extremely grateful to the Salem Cross Inn staff for creating such an amazing day for us and will hold these memories dear forever.

    Ease of Mind During Crazy Times

    COVID 19.... The pandemic changed so many things and left so much uncertainty, and our wedding was no exception. Nancy and Donna worked through all these uncertainties with us and constantly communicated with us any changes that would take place. They even helped us with reaching out to other vendors for videography and our cake. Our hosts cared deeply about us and that was displayed through each conversation with them, the intentionality of the servers, the outstanding food, and the beautiful barn that made this day one to remember. We thank Salem Cross Inn for all their support for my husband and I, we would not have wanted our wedding anywhere else!

    Better than could have ever imagined

    What a stress free and very accommodating venue Salem Cross Inn is. Donna and Nancy were able to answer all our questions and meet all of our needs while keeping our minds at ease and the safety of our guest in the forefront during a global pandemic. The food is always amazing and the wait staff are the nicest around. We had the ceremony outside at the gazebo with the beautiful fall foliage in the background. Following the ceremony was a wonderful sit down meal in their immaculate 2 floor barn. Our guests gave multiple compliments at how attentive and professional the staff were. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding venue to remember.

I could not have asked for a better team to put together our beautiful day.

    Could not be more perfect

    In Brief: From start to finish, food to venue, The Salem Cross Inn made our wedding absolutely perfect and affordable. They were so professional, communicative and supportive throughout the entire process; we would highly, highly recommend them for any wedding.
    In Detail: My husband and I were having a Western (cowboy) themed wedding (line dance instruction and all) in the fall and were seeking a venue with a barn that served excellent food. We were fortunate enough to have stumbled upon The Salem Cross Inn through a friend’s recommendation and once we saw the pictures online and the wedding menus, we knew we had to check out the place. We were particularly excited about their prime rib as an option for our wedding guests as it is roasted in an antique fire pit.
    From day one, we were highly impressed with Nancy’s organization, efficiency and honesty. She explained all of the options clearly, showed us each part of Salem Cross and what they offered, explained the menus, and gave us a pricing quote based on our expected number of guests (approx. 130 guests). Donna, their gifted baker, was also able to meet our needs for a custom cake (Grand Marnier-laced cake with chocolate ganache). Despite all these custom offerings, when we saw the cost estimate we were shocked….at how affordable it was for such a lovely venue and for all of the choices we had available for our menu.
    From the time we confirmed our wedding spot, throughout the next 18 months, both Nancy and Donna were very communicative and helpful. Both were attentive to phone calls and emails. Donna even baked us a sample of our cake for us to try (which was so good words could not describe it). We had no surprises at all throughout the process and found both Nancy and Donna exceptionally easy to work with. Nancy suggested many options that helped smooth out the execution of the wedding, especially the day of, which alleviated a lot of the stresses leading up to a wedding (Listen to Nancy – she knows what she’s doing!) The venue had all of the available hookups needed for us to have our ceremony outside with a DJ and videographer, and to have our reception nestled wonderfully inside the rustic barn.
    The day of, The Salem Cross could not possibly have been more professional and attentive to our and our guests’ needs. We even had a member of their staff dedicated to our wedding in case we needed anything. Our goal was for the food and cake to be the stars of the show, so we put the bulk of our budget to that. The Salem Cross did not disappoint – our guests (and us) raved about how good the food was – appetizers, main meals, and even the bread. Many also raved that our custom wedding cake was the best wedding cake they ever had (many of our friends are foodies, so to hear those kinds of compliments meant a lot to us as that was what we were trying to achieve). Our guests (and we) also raved and how well their staff decorated the barn and tables with the decorations we brought to the venue. To further highlight Nancy’s and Donna’s dedication and professionalism, both came back to check on us during our wedding on a Sunday evening.
    My husband and I are very particular and picky people. With that in mind, we both firmly believe that our wedding at The Salem Cross Inn was nothing short than perfect. We talked about our wedding for weeks afterwards, still marveling at how humbling the entire event was. We will still be talking about it for years to come. The Salem Cross was the backbone for this unforgettable experience. We cannot thank them enough for the experience they helped us create, and for the memories that will last a lifetime.

    The Perfect Rustic Venue

    Nancy was a dream to meet with - she made all my fears planning a wedding disappear when my fiancé (now husband) and I began planning our wedding October 2019. From the home style cooked meals (fireplace prime rib!), to the ceremony space, bridal suite, cocktail hour, to wedding cakes - everything you can need and more is offered at this venue. Salem Cross is the decor in itself, and it truly was the perfect backdrop to our big day. They provide you with a list of vendors they work closely with, such as DJ, officiants, floral, hotels, etc. which has made the planning experience that much easier as well. Once quarantine hit, my husband and I spoke with Nancy about what we should do. She assured us she was going to accommodate and support us in whatever decision we made. She truly was the most understanding individual - it made us that much happier we chose this venue from the start. We were able to still have a small intimate ceremony this past Halloween with our immediate family members because the date meant so much to us. On the day of, Nancy and Donna went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed and have been so accommodating despite the craziness of COVID. We can’t wait until this September when we can have the rest of our friends and family join us for the awaited reception. Can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else other than Salem. HIGHLY recommend!!!

    Perfect Historical New England Venue

    My Husband and I were married at the Salem Cross last October and would recommend it to any couple looking for rustic charm at an affordable price point. The landscape is beautiful and the property stays true to its colonial heritage, maintaining elegant candelabras, original woodwork and a collection of quirky odds and ends from the time period.

    There is no way on earth your guests will leave hungry because the food is plentiful and served throughout the event. A big fan favorite was the roast beef which is cooked over a spit in the downstairs fireplace during cocktail hour. Guest remarked on how unique and interactive the cooking experience was. Everyone I spoke to mentioned how much they enjoyed the food.

    Another major selling point is the caring staff. Donna, our wedding coordinator was great to work with. She made us feel welcome and supported. Salem Cross is a family business and you can tell! The staff take pride in their work and make sure you leave happy. They also provide each couple with a list of vendor recommendations for music, flowers, transportation etc. This was a huge help to me, as I was not familiar with the area and needed some direction for organizing the big day.

    Extremely pleased with our wedding!!!

    We are extremely pleased with our wedding. The day of the wedding was stress free for us. Our guests had a blast. The food was delicious with multiple helpings of the Roast. I think the wedding party polished off all the pesto meatballs ourselves. We would recommend Salem Cross in a second. Before writing this review we read some of the other reviews and can see many of the same points. We would recommend sitting down early with Nancy or Donna before you have anything else planned. They have a list of vendors and recommend some off the list. We used the violinist. We also used the Florist Barry from their list, who was absolutely amazing and worked to our budget. Many of the flowers came from their own grounds. We were nervous at first using the vendor list but were extremely pleased with them. This is an extremely nice place and we can see why so many people try to have their wedding there. We are understanding of the time frame constraints mentioned in some of the other reviews as we wouldn't want to or want anyone's wedding to interfere with ours. That being said, we felt the entire staff's attention was dedicated to our wedding while we were there. Any requests we had were addressed immediately. Any questions we had during the planning phase, that were answered in a way we were a little bit concerned about actually worked out perfect and Nancy's recommendation was spot on. We have nothing but good things to say about our wedding at the Salem Cross Inn. We would definitely recommend them. Also be open minded about the Vendor list, it worked out great of us. Also the Wedding "cupcake" idea was perfect.

    Amazzinnggg

    Where do we even BEGIN. Oh my goodness. My husband and I had an absolute DREAM wedding. It was even better than our imagination could take us. All of our guests where blown away by the beauty of the venue and how delicious the food was and the GORGEOUS gorgeous flowers (we hired Barry, the recommended florist). I seriously had in my mind that we would have a super simple, bare-bones wedding and had adjusted my expectations because we were paying for the wedding ourselves. I have extremely high health expenses so our budget was limited. When I walked down the aisle and walked into the venue for the first time my jaw hit the floor. We saw the venue during the tour and we saw pictures of prior weddings. Let me tell you - NONE of that does this place any justice. In terms of planning, everything went pretty smoothly. Every single one of our vendors was incredible. I mean - worship the ground they walk on - incredible. We need to talk about Barry for a second. Both my husband and I are obsessed with him - my husband probably even more so and he's a guy's guy, motorcycle-riding, a bit rough around the edges kind of guy. My husband was like "we NEED to have more flowers" to which I rolled my eyes and said okay (he can be a bit "extra"). Oh my goodness - that was the best decision EVER. Barry is a one of a kind. I've been to many weddings and our wedding flowers were HANDS DOWN NO CONTEST the BEST flowers I've seen in my whole entire life. And he is BEYOND reasonable. If I could just hire him for every single event for the rest of my life I would. The food was and is SO FREAKING GOOD. We had the Prime Rib and Maple Jack Chicken. Everyone - and I really mean almost everyone - was eating off of each others plates just because they wanted to try every dish Salem Cross made. The charm of this place right down to the antique dishes and silverware is astonishing. Nancy and Donna are super organized and definitely have it together. My questions were unorganized and we had family members trying to change some things and they didn't even bat an eye. We felt like we were in good hands the whole entire time. It's such a cliche but our wedding really was the best day of our lives, to have all of our family and friends together in such a beautiful place. You will not regret having your wedding at Salem Cross

    Loved our wedding at Salem Cross!

    My husband I got married in July and I couldn’t have dreamed of a better day. From the food, to the beautiful and unique space, to the friendly and helpful staff, Salem Cross is your dream wedding venue. My guests had a fantastic time, and so did I because I felt so at ease during the event that everything would go as planned —and it did! They also have great connections with several other vendors that have all worked there before and know exactly what they were doing.

    A Great Wedding at The Salem Cross Inn

    My wife and I got married at The Salem Cross Inn on May 4th of this year. We could not be any happier with our experience at The Salem Cross Inn for our special day. The wedding coordinators and waitstaff did a phenomenal job at making sure that everything was taken care of for us and for our guests and they made sure that everything went as planned. We were also very happy with the total cost (we had about 60 guests) and we were able to stay within our budget. Thank you very much to Nancy, Donna an the entire staff at The Salem Cross Inn for making our special day was even that more special! -Michael & Suely Beaudreau

    Perfect Wedding Venue for 2 Foodies


    We got married at the Salem Cross Inn on June 9, 2019 and it turned out to be the perfect wedding venue and day.

    We are "foodies", so we were determined to find a venue that could offer superb appetizers and dinner options, a romantic and interesting setting, and professional staff. We found all of that, and more, at the Salem Cross Inn.

    A month has gone by and our guests are still talking about our "PERFECT" wedding (their words!). In fact, several guests are now making plans to host family gatherings at the Inn.

    We got married outside in front of the gazebo, and then invited our guests to go inside the lower level of the barn to watch the prime rib roasting in the fireplace while they enjoyed delicious appetizers and drinks from an open bar. We also gave our guests the option to go on a fun hayride around the beautiful green rolling hills of the property and gardens.

    Our dinner options included the fireside prime rib, maple jack chicken, and honey dijon salmon. Everyone agreed that all three options were absolutely delicious and we saw lots of our guests sharing tastes of each dish.

    Rob Adams was the mastermind behind the music. He played acoustic guitar and sang two lovely duets with my cousin during the ceremony. The wonderful music from his 4-person band inspired everyone to dance for hours.

    Flowers were artfully arranged by Ladyslipper Designs. Natalie's beautiful floral creations adorned the gazebo, guests' chairs, haywagon, and were abundant in the dining room.

    Paula Roberts was our expert wedding organizer and her vast experience ensured a smooth running ceremony and happy guests.

    Piper Jo Nevins, our fabulous photographer, and her assistant Pat, kept everyone well organized for photos and her artistic eye found beautiful backdrops all over the Salem Cross Inn property.

    Finally, we would like to thank Nancy and Donna, who took the time to go through all the details and make wise recommendations on all the food options. Many thanks also to the entire staff at the Salem Cross Inn who are true professionals and were eager to ensure that everything was exactly the way we had imagined it to be for our special day.

    We wholeheartedly recommend the Salem Cross Inn!

They have an amazing menus I recommend the Prime Rib. It is so melt in your mouth good. They offer second to you the couple and all ur guests . They make it a one stop shop for the most part from that to there yummy Wedding cake that is made in house . Our cake was a Vanilla icing Vanilla cake . Sounds boring but the flavor is amazing and far from boring. Salem Cross has been doing weddings so long they seen a lot and made many suggestions we didn’t even think about . In the event of rain or bad weather they have backup plans B Which is a plus . we worked with Dawn who was amazing and can’t say enough nice things about . 1

    Beautiful wedding at Salem Cross Inn, West Brookfield, MA

    My son and daughter-in-law had an absolutely beautiful wedding at The Salem Cross Inn in West Brookfield MA. The food was delicious...so many of our guests commented that the salmon and chicken tasted superb...and we were so happy that you were able to serve 180+ people so professionally. People loved how interesting the venue was...the antiques,the fireplaces, the ambiance, etc. And, moving the guests from room to room for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception worked so smoothly. My husband and I were the last to leave...we stayed to put some of the wedding items in our truck ...and the person who was there (I think the bartender) was so nice and did not rush us which I greatly appreciated. This was a March wedding and it was so cozy at the inn. Wonderful facilities and staff...I would recommend it highly.

    Unique/ Charming Venue with Delicious Food!

    We loved this venue for our wedding! It is a beautiful building with rustic charm and unique history (the grounds are beautiful too if you're looking for an outdoor setting). The charm of this place created a perfect atmosphere for the occasion and we have heard multiple times from our guests that it was "the best food they've ever had at a wedding"!

    A beautiful wedding with great food

    We just had our wedding here last month and it was amazing! The place is gorgeous, the food is amazing and the staff are super helpful - you really can't go wrong! Get the apple pie (with homemade whipped cream) and fire roasted rib - you will NOT regret it!

    Fairytale Wedding

    We had a fairytale wedding at Salem Cross Inn. Donna and Nancy are both so knowledgeable and experienced it made the planning process seamless. The gazebo overlooking the hills is breathtaking, the drinks are tasty, and the food was to die for.

    We had a 9 piece band so we were worried about dancing space but they set up the room perfectly so there was plenty of space for dancing. The barn has such a cozy and romantic feel especially at night. So many people told us it was the best wedding they ever went to. You can't beat the charm of this place.

    Our son and his lovely bride were married her last weekend! The Reception barn was beautiful, the gazebo and outside patio were perfect for a wedding a social hour. Donna and her team were fantastic, and the food was off the chart delicious. Many of the guests thought it was the best wedding experience that they had ever had. We would highly recommend Salem Cross Inn for your wedding event!

    Salem Cross Inn in West Brookfield, MA was (nearly) a one-stop-shop for us. The scenery outside provided a picture-perfect background for our guests and our photographs. The decor inside the barn didn't call for anything "extra" on our part (which was great since we planned our wedding from start to finish in less than 3 weeks!). The food was amazing... AMAZING! Donna was wonderful to work with and helped us pull our last minute wedding off without a hitch. I would HIGHLY recommend the Salem Cross Inn to any bride-to-be!

    Last month we had our wedding at the Salem Cross Inn and it was a absolute fairy tale. Everything about the Salem Cross was amazing. Their outside gazebo is absolutely gorgeous and although it was pouring and we had to move our ceremony to the basement it was still absolutely breath taking. The barn was gorgeous and the perfect size for 150+ guests to enjoy themselves. They food was OUTSTANDING, along with the cake as well. The bartenders were awesome and kept up with out very thirsty guests. Of course all this could have not happened without the help of the amazing Donna and Nancy. Every question we asked they answered. We are so extremely happy that we chose The Salem Cross Inn for our wedding.

    A big Thank You to Donna and Nancy for everything you did to make Luke and Lori’s day so perfect. I think that sometimes people don’t realize how fortunate we are to have such a wonderful venue in our backyard. So unique and beautiful and service was excellent.

    I don’t even know where to begin with this review!!!! Our wedding day on Friday was beyond everything we hoped it would be and Donna and Nancy helped make it amazing!!! As a bride you worry how the flow of the day would go and how the set up would turn out well it was stunning and amazing, my decor was beautifully displayed because of them...they made my day seamless in every way!! They were so personable and caring and I miss working with them already and it’s Only been 2 days lol...my sister in law had her wedding there 23 years ago needless to say this venue is sentimental:) The venue itself has so much charm and had so much rustic elegance I just love....We were nervous about the weather the start of the day but with many prays it held out and couldn’t of been more perfect!!! If you haven’t found a venue yet I highly, undoubtedly recommend Salem Cross Inn, you won’t regret it, we sure don’t:-)

    Salem Cross made my wedding everything I had imagined. From the beautiful views and the rustic barn to the helpful and friendly staff. Donna and Nancy specially made the whole experience very enjoyable. I am beyond happy with the whole experience. The venue also helped created absolutely stunning pictures. The food was incredible. My absolute Fav has to be the carrot cake. We are so happy that we have a place we can now go and celebrate our anniversary at they hold such an amazing memory for us.

    We really loved this venue and the staff were great. A few of our photos came back and we are thrilled with how the landscape and architectural details look. Our guests really enjoyed the experience as well, as many of them came from out of state and were able to enjoy a colonial New England setting. We highly recommend Salem Cross Inn and the staff, especially Nancy and Donna, who helped us with out preparations.

    An amazing and outstanding venue! Donna, Nancy, and the entire staff were super organized and made the wedding go flawlessly! Our guests commented to us how fantastic the food and whole experience was. Many told us this was the best wedding they ever went to. Not to mention, Donna's cake was to die for! This place is the best ... you won't be dissappointed!

    We Got Married at the Salem Cross Inn on June 30th 2018. It Was The Perfect Day. Donna and Nancy Are so Kindhearted and where extreamly professional and helpful from day one. The Food Was amazing! We Had Fireplace Roasted Prime Rib and The Maple Jack Chicken. Everyone was Raving about the food during the reception. Donna & Nancy also recommended a great DJ and the perfect justice of the peace/wedding coordinator so everything went so smooth and stressfree. I Will recommend the Salem Cross Inn to everyone looking for perfect wedding venue. It Was Very affordable! (& this is coming from a women with 5 kids under the age of 10 that just came off Unpaid Maternity leave) We also use the Salem Cross Inn for rehearsal dinner where we had hands-down the best chicken Pot pie. So delicious! I also chose to have them make my wedding cake which was a chocolate mousse cake let's just say the top tier of the cake didn't make it to the freezer straight to my belly it went! A chocolate lovers dream cake! I cannot say enough good things about this venue, the staff , how my wedding turned out or the great Experience I've had. This is the place to make your dream wedding come true!

    My husband and I had a wonderful wedding at this site. Both Donna and Nancy were very friendly and professional; it was a pleasure to have them work with us. We had our ceremony their as well and we hired Paula Roberts to coordinate, as suggested by Donna/Nancy; This was very good advise and the day went very smoothly! Anytime I had a question I would email them, and they would call me with answers not long after! I would recommend using this venue 100%!

    Our wedding at Salem Cross Inn was perfection. The meadow and barn are gorgeous. We had so many comments from our guests on the beautiful space. The service was impeccable, and the food (especially the baked honey dijon salmon) was so tasty. We can't say enough great things about Salem Cross. Nancy and her staff went above and beyond. They're very organized, no-nonsense kind of folks - we were in very good hands. We also liked that we felt we got great value from the venue, and Salem Cross did not nickel and dime us. They don't receive referral fees for recommending vendors; instead, they simply recommend who they've liked working there in the past. Their recommendations worked out perfectly for us. We didn't have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day, and highly recommend Salem Cross for an authentic, rustic barn wedding experience.

    We worked with Barry for our flowers. Barry was also incredible, and we highly, highly recommend using him as your florist. Barry brought our vision to life. He was extremely organized and had everything prepared day of when we arrived. He even went above what we requested... since he had extra eucalyptus and other flowers, he added other flower decor to other parts of the room which were wonderful and perfectly in line with our taste. Barry also priced his services very competitively.

    Our wedding at Salem Cross could not have been more magical!! From the moment we arrived for our first visit we knew this was our place. We truly had the best day and night of our lives. Donna was amazing to work with and we are so grateful to her for all she did to help make our day what it was. The food was outstanding, the cupcakes were even better than we when we tried them for our food tasting. The fact that we didn't need to worry about bringing centerpieces or additional decorations set our minds (and budget) at ease because it could not have been more beautifully decorated. Donna and Nancy recommended Paula for our ceremony coordinator and Barry for our flowers, and they were invaluable to us. If you get married here, you can trust that no one will handle your flowers more beautifully than Barry! We are still hearing from our friends and family how amazing the food and atmosphere is and we've been recommending it to engaged friends since! My husband and I couldn't have been happier with Salem Cross and we are already talking about renewing our vows here down the road. Thank you Donna, Nancy, and Salem Cross for the perfect wedding experience!!

    We knew when we booked the Salem Cross Inn that it was beautiful and the food was amazing, but we never realized how amazing they would make our wedding day! The food was amazing, the service was amazing. The cake made by Donna was delicious! They were very organized and with their years of experience hosting weddings made it so easy to set up the timeline of the night and it went perfectly that day. We worked mostly with Donna during planning and she was great. She responded to emails quickly, and called was written communication was not as effective. I am so glad we went with the Salem Cross Inn as our wedding venue.

    There isn't a better word to describe this place than perfect. Nancy and Donna make this experience easy and stress free and are very accommodating. I planned my sister perfect day for over a year since she lived in California and I was out here. Every bump in the road, Nancy or Donna was there to reassure me everything was going to be perfect.
    On the morning of the wedding. The skies were completely clear, the sun was out, the cattle were out. Everything was completely perfect. While the bride was getting ready in the beautiful bridal room, I was downstairs being the bridezilla making sure everything was in place. Nancy was so awesome and let me do whatever I needed to. I didn't need to do much, Nancy had everything under control. The ceremony was perfect. Paula Roberts was awesome with the coordination of the ceremony. At the reception the outdoor bar and happy hour was outstanding. Completely outstanding. The reception exceeded my standards. Martha was in charge of our reception. I was told by guests it was the first wedding they had someone come over and ask how everything was and how impressed they were with that. The food was incredible. Definitely the best food I've ever had at a wedding. I highly recommend having your wedding here if you are looking. Everything about this venue is perfect and beautiful. The staff and owners are so nice and helpful. Thank you Nancy, Donna and Martha and the entire Salem Cross Inn staff for a perfect day!

    I was recently married end of October this year. I get goose bumps thinking about how special my day turned out. Every bride wants the fairytale wedding. I know I achieved mine!! It was harder to plan than most since I was in California, 3000 miles away. Nancy and Donna were so accommodating every step of the way; from my special lobster dinner, last minute inside accommodations from the lucky rain, all the way to my confusing seating charts. The food was out of this world. I have received praise from all the guests that this was the best food and wedding they have ever been to. I would recommend this venue again and again. Thank you Salem Cross for making my day so special!

    I can't say enough about how wonderful Salem Cross Inn is for a wedding! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. We were married at the end of September, the beauty of the landscape made our photos phenomenal! The homemade food was delicious, my guests are still commenting to me how much they enjoyed the meal. The rustic charm of the Inn is exactly what my husband and I were looking for when planning both our ceremony and reception. Also, Nancy and Donna are so friendly, helpful and flexible, they made the planning of our special day, very stress free! I highly recommend Salem Cross Inn and we will be returning every anniversary!

    We had a “dream come true” wedding at Salem Cross Inn with the help of Nancy and Donna. They were highly professional but I could tell they cared deeply about our happiness and they were invested in our day. We had asked if we could come in early as I had done a lot of DIY decor and they were very accommodating. We also requested a naked cake and chose to add berries and they made this happen for us. The venue speaks for itself. It has a colonial, barn-style, farm feel and everything is kept in pristine condition and so clean! The bridal suite was perfect and comfortable and my girls and I really enjoyed getting ready here. The food is outstanding! We upgraded to the prime rib for one of our options and we have heard rave reviews. Start to finish, I cannot say enough about our experience here. There was a chance of rain on our day which could make any bride very testy and they were so kind and supportive throughout. Thank you Nancy and Donna! Nick and I wouldn’t change a thing.

    It only took one visit for Salem Cross Inn to become my dream wedding venue! Me and my wife were married early October of this year. Most of our wedding guests commented that it was the most fun wedding they had been to! The ceremony was beautiful, outside at the gazebo, and the landscape and garden made for beautiful photos. The food and cake were amazing, and we had so much fun serving the apple pie! We couldn’t have asked for better hosts than Nancy and Donna, who granted all of our requests along the way, and who made the wedding weekend run smoothly. We highly recommend Salem Cross Inn for your ceremony and reception!

    Thank you Salem Cross Inn for making our daughters wedding & reception an outstanding event! Guests are still mentioning the fire roasted prime rib, done to perfection, roasted in sight at the fireplace.

    Wow! I had my dream wedding here at the Salem Cross Inn. I cannot even express how happy my husband and I are with the Salem Cross Inn. From our first visit at the venue to our wedding day everything has been perfect, easy, and fun.
    First of all the venue is absolutely breathtaking, from the rolling hills and beautiful tree line to the rustic historical barn, everything you could ever want is here. The Salem Cross Inn is always very well kept and keeps the history of this property alive, and you can really see how much the staff truly love this venue.
    Second, Donna and Nancy are absolutely the best people in the world, they know EVERYTHING about weddings. They are always available to answer any questions you have and are happy to answer them and help, trust me I called them many many times and every single time I spoke with them I got a clear answer and a smile on my face. Nancy and Donna will do everything in their power to make sure your day is perfect and just how you want it, they are very open to ideas and will always accommodate if able. They give you clear guidelines on how to do certain things which really helps take some stress away from planning. The great thing is that on many of my other venue tours I just felt like "another bride", here at the Salem Cross Inn I really felt like Donna and Nancy cared about my wedding even though they had hundreds of other weddings going on. They also are very very prepared, during my reception my bustle got torn and guess who came to my rescue and spent the time safety pinning my dress back up?? Yep, it was Donna and Nancy. I can't say enough about these women and how they helped make my perfect wedding come true.
    The food is amazing and to die for. They also provide you with a preferred vendor list and Barry and Paula Roberts are a must have!!!
    I had the best day of my life at the Salem Cross Inn, the whole experience was perfect and I am so happy we went with this venue. You cannot ask for a better place.

    My husband and I were married at Salem Cross Inn on October 29th of last year. The rustic charm of the venue is authentic and beautiful. We had such an amazing experience working with Nancy. Donna, and the rest of the staff from beginning to end. We always felt that we were important and that they wanted our day to be very special. They were always available to answer questions, and also give suggestions to make sure the day ran smoothly. They truly have weddings down to a science and everything was perfect due to their knowledge and experience of what flows the best. We felt that they were very accommodating, allowing us a week beforehand to independently walk the building and grounds with our minister to work out some final details. The food at Salem Cross Inn is delicious, superior to any wedding food that I have ever had. We had the chicken ritchie and the prime rib with seconds. The guests really enjoyed watching the meat cook over the open fire during cocktail hour, it added to the rustic charm of our wedding. We wanted to do an Irish Coffee after dinner with some cookies, and they had never done it before, but were quick to say 'we can do that'. We were impressed with how fair the pricing was for the whole event, but specifically the open bar. We were charged an estimate of what each person would consume through the night, and within the week after the wedding, my parents were sent a check back for the remaining amount from the bar tab that we did not use. Overall, I cannot stress enough how their professionalism and courtesy sticks with us still as we reminisce about our wedding day. We were so happy with how it all turned out. So many of our 175 guests still tell us to this day that it was the best wedding that they ever attended. Salem Cross Inn now has such a special place in our hearts and we enjoy returning frequently for lunch and dining events.

    Salem Cross was the perfect venue for our daughters wedding! We were made to feel welcome and throughout the planning stage you were always so helpful (Donna and Nancy). It felt as if my daughter's big day was as important to you as it was for us and that you would do everything possible to meet any requirements.. Salem Cross is such a beautiful place, and the service and food on the day could not have been better - guests raved. Thank you to Barry Mongeon for creating such beautiful flower arrangements. We had a fantastic day and Salem Cross and everyone there will always have a special place in our memories. Thank you Barry, Donna, Martha and Nancy and the rest of the staff.

    First off, Donna and Nancy were beyond wonderful to work with. Their expertise and knowledge put me at ease and they answered all questions quickly. They provided a list of local vendors to team up with and made it that much easier as someone planning out of state. On top of a beautiful location, the food was so incredible!! Our wedding cake was delicious and I am already looking forward to that piece a year from now. The waitstaff were great as well. Such a picturesque place, I can't recommend Salem Cross Inn enough for anyone looking to plan their big day. The perfect rustic, outdoor/barn venue.

    Our daughter was married at Salem Cross Inn on September 8, 2017 and it was amazing. Nancy, Donna and the entire staff helped us from the planning for the last year to the day of the wedding. Food was fantastic and so was the service. They absolutely made our daughter's dream wedding come true. Many, many thanks to Nancy, Donna and the staff - you are the best!!!!

    Our whole day was beautiful and well managed through the entire day. Our guests continue to tell us that our wedding was the best they had been to (and there have been a few-LOL). The food was fantastic, the staff was so helpful, the vendors were tremendous and the facility was impecable. Thank you to all who made our day perfect.

    A few weeks after our daughters wedding......we could not be happier. To Donna and The complete staff, THANK YOU!! The venue and grounds were amazing. All who attended and we have talked too are a happy as we are. The venue and food always gets 5 stars from everyone. Your list of vendors you recommended for DJ, photography, busing all good. Paula the wedding coordinator was a big assist throughout the process. In all we have to say that they are professionals in knowing what it takes to make that SPECIAL DAY GREAT. The Huckleberry Lemonade drinks are highly recommended. We had the rehearsal dinner there too and a few lunches in the process. All too a positive review. We can't wait to visit again

    We first heard about the Salem Cross Inn from my then future mother-in-law, and we happened to pass by it while driving a few days later. We saw the chairs lined up for a wedding that must have been the night before, and seeing everything set up totally sold us! I fell in love with the picturesque property on the spot, and when we met Donna and Nancy, we felt even more confident! We bonded immediately over our shared love of JFK, and they are absolute pros, with a world of expertise about all the little details that made every aspect of our wedding run smoothly! They checked in with us periodically to finalize details, and they were so patient and gracious when my mum and I would stop in occasionally to ask questions and get clarification on different things! Their knowledge and input was invaluable, the ceremony and reception ran like a dream, and the food was incredible! They took care of lovely little details, from seating the parents with optimal views during the reception, to going over all the little reception accessories we brought so they'd be in the perfect spot, to sending the passed hors d'oevres to the bridal party while we were taking photos, to making sure the little frames at the cocktail tables were moved in and displayed around the barn for the reception! I just found out that they saved the top layer of our cake for us to enjoy on our first anniversary! We were so happy with our experience at the Salem Cross Inn, and we've heard all kinds of rave reviews from all of our guests about the excellent pacing of the event, the great service, and the delicious food! Would definitely recommend to other couples again and again!

    My husband and I just got married at the Salem Cross Inn in July. Everything was perfect! The venue and scenery were beautiful and rustic just like what we were looking for. This venue is also very reasonably priced. We had around 160 people attend and there was plenty of room for dancing and socializing. Planning the wedding and everything the day of the wedding went so smoothly that I was actually very calm and not at all stressed which was definitely due to all the help Nancy, Donna, and everyone at the Inn gave us. The food and service could not have been better and we are so happy with how our day came out. Everyone had such a great time! We would definitely recommend this venue!

    Salem Cross Inn is the perfect place to have your special day. Right from the beginning they were more than accommodating. Donna was wonderful. We got married on June 3, 2017. Ceremony right on their beautiful grounds. Dining room was set just as a country wedding should look like. Meals were fantastic. Cocktail hour before was perfect in tap room. Our guest are still commenting on how the dining room was set and how accommodating the staff was to us.. We could not have had a more perfect day. If you are looking for a place for that special occasion you can not go wrong with Salem Cross Inn. Thank you again for a very wonderful day and you should be so proud of all your staff. Thanks for a great day that we will never be forgotten.

    My husband and I could not be happier with our gorgeous rustic wedding at the Salem Cross Inn. We booked a visit to tour this venue and were sold almost immediately. Nancy and Donna were extremely accommodating from the start--even allowing us a few extra days to hold the possible wedding date. The setting for our outdoor ceremony with the gazebo overlooking the farmland was beautiful. Even with the threat of rain, it ultimately our decision for an outdoor ceremony which Nancy and Donna were flexible about and even set up the indoor ceremony as well in case of a last minute downpour. The staff are friendly and patient, the food was DELICIOUS (including cupcakes- we were able to taste every flavor at our complimentary tasting!) and great bar service. The reception area does not need additional decoration as it is beautiful on its own with white string-lights, wooden tables with white linens, and high ceilings. Nancy and Donna are prompt in responding to any questions before, during and after the wedding (often reachable by phone and definitely by email). They genuinely want you to have your dream wedding and enjoy being hosts. We highly recommend the Salem Cross Inn-- we will definitely be back for a visit!

    My husband and I had an amazing, perfect wedding day at the Salem Cross Inn in October of 2016! We had 175 guests in the barn on a Saturday evening, and all of them raved about the picturesque grounds, uniquely antique New England decor, and the delicious food. It was so cool to be able to have our ceremony outside, followed by cocktail hour in the downstairs tavern, then dinner and dancing in the barn. Such a nice flow through a beautiful venue! We really appreciated Nancy and Donna's flexibility with our selection of vendors, letting us bring in our own photographer and DJ. I would highly, highly recommend working with Barry (for flowers/decor, he is amazing!) and Paula (for officiating, even though we had my husband's father officiate the actual ceremony, Paula was immensely helpful in running us through what the procession would entail and how it would be organized in advance, getting us our marriage license, and acting as a ceremony coordinator the day of so everything ran smoothly). We didn't have a wedding planner, and didn't need one -- Salem Cross made it easy to do on our own!

    For a truly unique, authentic, rustically elegant wedding, I HIGHLY recommend the Salem Cross Inn and we are so, so happy and grateful to them for making our day absolutely magical and completely stress-free!

    I cannot say enough about Salem Cross Inn. From the moment we booked our wedding with them Nancy Donna and the gang could not do enough for us. What is a dream wedding the service was impeccable the food was amazing and every person that interacted with us could not possibly do enough. All of the vendors they recommend are truly amazing we chose Barry as our florist the flowers were absolutely stunning I am still getting compliments on them we also used Paula Robert as our Justice of the Peace the service was awesome. I cant possibly have asked fir any more attention to detail. Highly reccomend You will not be sorru

    The outside venue for the ceremony is absolutely beautiful! I couldn't have found a better venue, especially for the price. They accommodated all of my requests, even having the cows front and center which my guests loved! The outside cocktail hour was great and it's the perfect venue for gorgeous pictures! The reception inside the barn was great as well. They have twinkling lights that set a romantic mood and lovely table settings if you don't have your own, which I loved! The food there is always amazing so you won't be disappointed whatever you choose. And they will do a late night snack if you request as well! I would highly recommend this venue for your wedding, or any other event!!

    I had the perfect wedding thanks to the Salem Cross Inn. Nancy and Donna were so helpful and kind when it came to planning and budgeting. They always responded immediately when I had a question, too! The food was out of this world, the bar/waitstaff was amazing, and the price could not be beat. The venue is also beautiful!

    I was at all times treated with respect and my wishes were honored. The owner and the woman who helps her with wedding planning met with me personally and were responsive to my questions and requests. They pointed me to a great package deal for our wedding and directed me to the best room venue for the number of guests I'd have. They provided me with a list of vendors they recommend and this made it so much less stressful to select a photographer and florist and limousine driver. On our wedding day, they welcomed us and brought us to a room where we could have pictures taken. The outside grounds were beautiful -- one of the top reasons we chose this restaurant for the reception -- and made for fantastic photos even though it was a rainy, windy day. The waitstaff were friendly yet professional. The bartender was very efficient. The food was delicious. I recommend this restaurant unreservedly. They even provide a space to have the wedding ceremony if you'd like.

    The Salem Cross Inn was perfect location for our wedding. We were looking for the New England rustic wedding and that's exactly what we received. I can't say enough about the service, the food, and the entire experience. Nancy, Donna, and the entire Salem Cross Inn staff were always available to help. They assisted me throughout the entire planning process, always responded to my calls and e-mails, and answered all my questions. They worked with us on all of the details - from table numbers to bows to favors. They were extremely flexible, and everything ran perfectly smooth. We held our ceremony in front of the gazebo. The chairs were setup well in advance, which made decorating easy. Cocktail hour was also held outside and was great. The reception was in the barn - all of the tables were setup early, favors were out, centerpieces were out, and the cake was set and ready to go. The food was delicious and nice and hot for our guests. All of our guests commented on the venue and how much they loved it. People raved about the location, the food, the atmosphere - everything! I did not receive one complaint. I would highly recommend this venue to all couples looking to get married in the New England area!

    When my husband and I found Salem Cross Inn, all we had was a budget and a vision for our dream wedding that we were looking to create. We had no idea how to plan a wedding and were very anxious about the process. Salem Cross Inn changed all that. Not only is their venue the most beautiful and historic venue I've ever seen, and not only is the food (both at the wedding itself—oh man, it was unreal—and at their restaurant) amazing, but their coordinators are amazing. Super accommodating, on top of their game, and so deeply caring about the success of your day. My wedding was absolutely electric, and I owe so much of that to Donna and Nancy at the Salem Cross. Absolute 5 out of 5.

    We first visited Salem Cross Inn in February and called back the same day to book for our October 22nd wedding. Donna and Nancy were welcoming, patient, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Any time I had a question, I could call or email them and know that I would receive a prompt and professional response. On the day of, we had Martha at our wedding and she went above and beyond to help make our day perfect from setting up our centerpieces to the decorations. She even kept coming back to make sure we had enough water and got a chance to eat some of our meal. Nancy and Donna told us at our final visit to drop off centerpieces that “everyone will tell you the next day that your wedding is the best wedding they’ve ever been to” and they were so right! We got compliments about the staff, the food, the vendors we hired, EVERYTHING. We kept being asked “how did you ever find this place? It’s awesome!” We also got many compliments on how delicious the meals were and the fact that they are actually filling, not leaving you hungry at the end of the evening like many other weddings. If you are looking for an affordable, family-feel venue, absolutely go to Salem Cross Inn!

    My husband and I got married on 9/18/16 at the Salem Cross Inn and honestly picking this venue set the tone (in a positive way) for the entire wedding. We had a wonderful experience with the staff! Besides this venue being completely gorgeous with a strong historic and rustic feel, every single vendor and staff member the Salem Cross Inn works with made our wedding day perfect and stress free.
    We worked with Donna and Nancy through every stage of the process and not only were they extremely flexible and accommodating, they also have wedding planning down to a science and provided great suggestions when needed. We decided to use many of the vendors they suggested from their preferred vendors list and it was the absolutely best decision to go with their trusted vendors.
    To start, we decided to hire Paula Roberts as our Justice of the Peace for our ceremony. She knew exactly what she was doing and guided us through planning the ceremony and the entire rehearsal ran seamlessly. We were also able to file for our marriage license with her and she took care of all the paperwork so that on our big day, the marriage license was ready to go.
    Heather of Turkey Hill Photography was our photographer and she was just the sweetest! She is direct (in a good way!) and captured everything we wanted in a timely manner. Following the ceremony, we were able to get all of our formal photos done in the cocktail hour so that everyone could truly enjoy their meal and the reception. She was outstanding!
    Finally, Barry Mongeon was our florist and if there is anyone you need to hire from their preferred vendors, it's this man. He was utterly fabulous. The floral arrangements were STUNNING and he went above and beyond helping me with all of my needs on my wedding day.
    All and all, this place is phenomenal and their staff (including their bartenders and wait staff) are the biggest reason our wedding day was flawless. The food is incredible and it's truly a hidden gem in MA!

    We had our wedding as Salem Cross on September 17, 2016. We were aiming for a casual morning reception and Salem Cross was perfect! The weather was beautiful for an outside cocktail hour. The food was delicious. And I wish I had a regular supply of the cupcakes. :)

    We loved having our wedding at the Salem Cross Inn! Donna was extremely helpful as well as Martha. I can't speak highly enough about the venue as everything went off without a hitch and the food was absolutely delicious. Our guests were shocked not only at the prime rib cooking in the fire place, but they also were offered a second helping and to-go boxes. What wedding ever has that?? Many of our guests told us that this was the best wedding that they have ever been to, and we have the Salem Cross Inn to thank for a big portion of that. Often, we were asked how we ever found such a beautiful place with perfect scenery for our ceremony and reception. This venue also has endless amounts of picture options. There are hills and hills of endless farm land with rustic hay bales, stone walls, gardens and even pumpkin patches. We are thrilled we were married here.

    We can't say enough about how amazing our wedding was at the Salem Cross Inn. The view alone sold us but when we tried the food at one of their fire place feasts we were sold! It's only been a couple days but our guests can't stop talking about how great everything was! We worked with Donna and she was so responsive to all my questions. If you're looking for a venue with a great ambiance both inside and out and fantastic food this is the place!

    My husband and I got married at Salem Cross Inn on 4th of July weekend and we couldn't have been more blown away with how everything turned out. We've been married for 2 months now and still have guests raving about our wedding and the delicious food. Donna, Nancy and Martha really helped to give us the perfect day. They know exactly what they are doing, and the day of the wedding Martha made sure everything went smoothly. From the beautiful grounds, amazing staff and incredible fresh food, it was more than we imagined. We're so happy we chose this venue!

    I got married at Salem Cross Inn a little less than a month ago, and my wedding day was beyond perfect! It's such a beautiful location for a wedding, with it's gorgeous gardens and endless country fields. The barn, where we had our reception, is also stunning. It's decorated with beautiful white string lights, historic artifacts, and dark wood beams. The food is so delicious, which our guests were highly impressed with. Our guests also loved the atmosphere and how lovely everything looked. Nancy and Donna were awesome to work with. They responded promptly to every question we had and were always very pleasant to talk to! They ensured that our wedding day went smoothly (which it did!). I cannot fully express how grateful I am to have had my wedding there. It was the best day of my life, all thanks to Salem Cross Inn! I highly recommend Salem Cross Inn to anyone!

    It's been a year since our wedding and our guests continue to speak fondly of our magical night at the Salem Cross Inn. The outside ceremony was picture perfect for a rustic, New England-centric wedding; complete with mooing cattle and a sprawling green landscape beyond the gazebo. Wedding pictures were just right with the various structures and greenery around the building. The reception (PARTY) inside was a 3 hour dance marathon and the hors d'oeuvres and dinner selections were praised by the guests. Guests have raved to us about how unique and charming the "barn" was for a beautifully lit and memorable evening. Nancy and Donna were always thorough, helpful and prompt with any questions, logistical concerns and event schedule planning. They've done this for a while and they know what works. The price was appropriate and you get what you put in with this venue; it has a lot to offer, and with your own personal touch, it will be the wedding your friends and family speak about for years to come!
