William Sent on 09/13/2022The venue that has it ALL
We fell in love with this venue before we even stepped foot on the property. The charming colonial facade of the buildings welcomes you inside. The stunning architecture of the great hall, meticulously landscaped gardens, and boho chic vibe of the Edison bulbs over the lawn comprise the perfect backdrop for a memorable ceremony and gorgeous pictures. Not to mention the food!! Wedding food usually isn’t very memorable, or if it is, it’s for the wrong reasons. The food was remarkable! Everyone raved about it for weeks. They are also so great about accommodating food allergies, which was great for several of our guests.
The facilities were absolutely incredible. We were blown away by the service and care provided in the Grand. We received complimentary champagne upon check-in, polite and efficient service from the bellhop, and a complimentary room move of our belongings on the day of our wedding to the Inn. The modern yet cozy feel of the grand suites was absolutely amazing. We almost didn’t want to leave for the inn! The bed is so comfortable and the bathroom is luxurious. Once we moved over to the Inn, we appreciated the charming, antique touches throughout the room. The facilities were incredible–we loved the extra bathroom and plenty of space to spread out and also relax in between photos. The balconies make for great photo shoots and the walk in closet was greatly appreciated! We even received a complimentary bottle of champagne and chocolate cake! Worth every penny!!
What was most memorable for us at BVI were the staff. From the moment we began planning our wedding with Olivia to the day of coordination with Brittany and even our personal attendant Griffin, we were completely blown away with the professionalism, graciousness, accommodation, and flexibility of every single person we came in contact with. Everyone worked so diligently to ensure that our day was absolutely perfect and it was!! The staff work so well together, like an oiled machine. Though it looked like it was going to rain, Brittany had her staff set up chairs outside and we were able to have our ceremony outside just in time to miss a passing shower. She had her phone opened to the weather radar for an hour to make our ceremony just as we had planned. Brittany was also incredible during the wedding, attending to anything we needed. Griffin, our personal attendant, was charming and funny. We so appreciated him! Leading up to our wedding, we had a lot of last minute guest list changes and Olivia was so flexible in providing us several solutions. Her affirmations, assurances, and optimistic demeanor were everything a couple needs leading up to their wedding. We can’t say enough good things about everyone who works at Bedford Village inn!
Do not think twice about booking your wedding at BVI! It is worth every penny!!

Tess Sent on 03/30/2025A Dream Come True – The Perfect Venue with an Incredible Team
From the very beginning, working with BVI was an absolute dream—and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible coordinator, Madison. Her attention to detail, calm professionalism, and genuine warmth made the entire planning process feel effortless. She was always patient, organized, and responsive, and I can honestly say that our wedding day was as perfect as it was because of her and the amazing team at BVI.
Every detail—from the ceremony setup to the reception flow—was handled with such care and precision. The entire day unfolded so smoothly, and it was clear how much thought and experience went into every moment. I was able to truly relax and enjoy the day knowing everything was in such capable hands.
The venue itself is stunning, and so many of our guests have told us how beautiful everything looked and how well-run the entire event was. From start to finish, it was more than we ever could have hoped for—elegant, seamless, and full of joy. It felt like a true fairytale, and we owe so much of that to BVI.
We are beyond grateful to Madison and the whole team for making our wedding day so special. I can’t recommend them highly enough—if you’re considering BVI for your wedding, just say yes. You’ll be in the very best hands. -

Katie Sent on 09/04/2024Beautiful venue!
We got married in the Charolais Room at The Grand. This place is magical. We could not be happier with it as our wedding venue. It was beautiful. The hotel is gorgeous, our suite was incredible and the perfect place to get ready. The food was delicious and plenty of it. The staff are INCREDIBLE. Our coordinator, Olivia, is the best. She is kind, responsive, and helpful. She heard all of our asks and made them come to life. She has an amazing eye for decor and added lovely touches. She’s incredibly organized and we did not have to worry about a single thing with her as our coordinator. Gillian, our bridal attendant, was awesome. She always made sure we had everything we needed. She took care of us and we were never thirsty or hungry all night. Nicole was our day of coordinator, and met all of our needs. She was super helpful with managing in-the-moment tasks and taking care of us. It was truly the best day of our life and the venue/staff helped make the day even more special. Highly recommend this venue! -

Chelsea Sent on 08/27/2024The best decision ever!
BVI was the best decision we had made for our wedding. They were fantastic. Every detail was thought of on BVI's side. They were fantastic to our family. Our family and friends said it was some of the best food they had and the best hotel stay for a wedding they have had. The food was delicious including the appetizers. The coordinator, Madison, is the BEST to work with. She really guides you and helps you. I couldn't have done it without her. The two day of coordinators, Paige & Nicole, were also amazing. We also had rehearsal dinner in the Overlook room. They did a fantastic job. Food was great!! I could write a book on how awesome BVI and their employees are. Don't hesitate to book here! You -

German Sent on 07/24/2024The absolute best decision for our venue!
Bedford Village Inn (BVI) exceeded all expectations for every element of our wedding, and this is not hyperbole. We thought the pricing would be out of reach for us and almost didn’t even get a quote, boy are we glad we did because for our small wedding, they actually had the BEST price of the dozens of venues we had reached out to in New England.
We wanted a venue that could host the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, as well as provide overnight accommodations for our mostly out of town guests. Additional criteria were that the food had to be top notch, and we were looking for an easy, but elevated aesthetic. BVI met all of these requirements and then some.
Since our total guest count was less than 40, we were in the Charlois Room at the Grand and it was the PERFECT size for our small wedding. It never felt awkwardly too big, nor cramped, and we got to have the traditional wedding experience we were looking for with a full reception and cocktail hour.
As if all of the above weren’t enough, what really makes the BVI experience outstanding is the incredibly amazing, kind, attentive, and welcoming staff. When we met with our coordinator we knew we were in good hands, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. The entire planning experience was so special and easy with everyone we worked with. A special shout out to Madison M. for being so supportive, responsive, and sweet! Madison was an absolute pleasure to work with! Many of our guests commented on how impressed they were with both the service and the food. One waitress was dancing with the kids in attendance at the wedding, keeping them entertained and giving their parents a break.
BVI will now always hold a special place in our hearts, they made our wedding dreams come true! It was a perfect day at the perfect venue and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. -

Cassandra Sent on 03/28/2023Olivia S. and the Bedford Village Inn team are incredible!
We had the most amazing wedding experience because of Olivia S. and the Bedford Village Inn team. We chose BVI as the venue for our March wedding and it couldn't have been more magical. Olivia thought of every detail and was an absolute angel to work with. Gillian and the team members who were present during the reception anticipated our every need and were so thoughtful. The entire weekend was incredible and we wouldn't change a thing. I highlight recommend choosing BVI as your wedding venue! -

Shelley Sent on 01/13/2023Highly Recommend, the BVI!
We decided to have our reception at the Bedford Village Inn after touring the beautiful space and meeting the wedding planner, Madison about a year in advance. The wedding was magical and I know how big of a role Madison played with coordinating our vendors (day of) and throughout the process. Not only did we have a great experience with the wedding planning team, but every single member of the staff went above and beyond. We still have family and friends saying how polite and helpful the waitstaff, group bookings, and extended BVI team were. Our day-of attendant, Tyesha, was also a rockstar at her job. The Bedford Village Inn has a team of true professionals that are really good at what they do. Beautiful space, great team, and tasty food had our guests and us very happy with our decision to choose the BVI for our November 2022 wedding. -

Monique Sent on 09/05/2022Everything we dreamed of and more
Having our wedding at BVI was everything my husband and I dreamed of and more! Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Olivia made the entire process so enjoyable. She was always so prompt and responsive to any questions we had, and her attention to detail and kind, calming demeanor made her an absolute pleasure to work with. Brittany and all of the day-of wedding attendants were also so fantastic. The amount of people who have told us "this is the nicest wedding we have ever been to" speaks volumes for the level of professionalism and amazing service BVI offers. Thank you to all at BVI who helped make our dream day a reality, we cannot thank you enough! -

Katie Sent on 01/23/2022Bridal Shower location
We hosted my Bridal Shower here in the “Overlook Room” in August 2021. We were so incredibly happy with the entire experience from start to finish. The event coordinator, Olivia, was extremely valuable and made the planning process very easy! BVI staff member Jennifer was also extremely helpful on the day of, making sure everything ran smoothly. We hosted a brunch for our guests, and the breakfast buffet was incredible! We even added an omelet station on, and our guests loved it! The wait and bar staff were very attentive, and the cupcakes that we had for dessert were out of this world! It was the perfect space for our number of guests, and the general atmosphere is so perfect the space hardly needed any extra decorations! We would highly recommend BVI for any event! We considered BVI for our wedding venue but they were already booked! -

Jennifer Sent on 12/06/2020Perfection
We found this venue when we had to change ours due to covid. It was the best covid related issue we could have had because everything was AMAZING! From the day we met Olivia (the wedding planner) to the minute we left after our big weekend, everything was beautiful, perfect and delicious. I can't say enough about the BVI! Check it out, you won't be disappointed! -

Haley Sent on 10/19/2020Best Day Ever !!
The BVI team was absolutely amazing to work with. Any questions I had did not go unanswered. I had to reschedule my wedding due to Covid and they were so flexible with me and so accommodating. Melissa and her team were so easy to work with and made sure I had the best day ever. There was nothing I would have changed that day everything was perfect. Her team made it happen it was so seamless. -

Gina Sent on 08/30/2020The most beautiful wedding
I can’t say enough about the Bedford Village Inn. We worked with Melissa who made the entire process so easy. She helped with the planning and helped work out the little details that you wouldn’t normally think of. We had a rainy day and the team was very accommodating to give me as much time as possible to make a decision for inside or outside. The food was delicious and got a bunch of compliments. Not to mention the environment is just gorgeous and speaks for itself. Overall it was a great experience working with BVI and it’s staff. -

Shannon Sent on 01/08/2020Impeccable
We booked the bedford village inn 2.5 years in advance, and they always treated us like we were going to be having the wedding in a week, when ever we had a question they were quick to respond with suggestions and answers. We worked with Melissa up to the day of the wedding and she was truly a pleasure to work with. Everything went perfect the day of the wedding, the staff was truly outstanding, so attentive to our every need ( even going above to the point to change my sisters champagne to ginger ale to not reveal her pregnancy to everyone) they always made sure everyone was happy. Everything about their venue and staff was very elegant and classy. -

Christine Sent on 10/04/2019The most seamless and organized wedding venue ever
If you're looking for a romantic garden venue that makes your wedding everything you dreamed, but also way easier than you could hope for, this venue is it. Working with Brianna was amazing. She was organized and coordinated, and the venue did all of the set up and break down for you--a life saver! We had a bunch of family from out of town, so the hotel on-site was key, as was the salon. Brianna had everything down every step of the way, and was always willing to work with us on whatever we wanted, which was great peace of mind. The day-of coordinator and bridal assistant made the wedding ceremony and reception seamless and amazing. The Bedford Village Inn clearly does weddings often, and they will make your dream day come true. They did for me! -

Nicole Sent on 06/22/2019Not enough words to express how happy we were. The staff was amazing. They do SO MUCH for you to make it stress free. 1000 stars!
My dream wedding come true! The staff were unbelievable. Our wedding coordinator Brianna was out of this world. They made the ceremony and reception look beautiful and are so accommodating. They made the experience stress free and it was like a fairy tale. You won’t regret getting married here! & the food was to die for!!!! -

Bridget Sent on 06/19/2019A dream come true
My husband and I got married here on 5/26/19. Our wedding was absolutely everything that we could ever asked for AND MORE! We first went there in May of 2018 and fell in love with the venue immediately. We are from the South Coast of MA and traveled all over New England for months looking for the perfect venue to get married at. As soon as we walked in we both just knew that the Bedford Village Inn was the one. It had everything. We worked with Brianna George for about a year planning this wedding together and she was nothing short of a dream to work with. Since we live about 2 hours from the venue I emailed her all the time. She always answered my emails and was so professional. Honestly one of the most pleasant people that iv'e ever worked with. I also dealt with Diane from the hotel accommodations and she was also very pleasant to work with.
You just can't beat this venue! We were looking for a rustic venue with that "New Hampshire feel" that also had modern and sophisticated class. It has rooms for all your Bridal Party or close family right in the venue. It also has a gorgeous hotel on property with a heated saltwater pool. This venue checked off all of the boxes and more.
We had the most beautiful weekend of the season that there was so far. The Bridal Suite was ready for us prior to 9 AM as promised and the staff served us our breakfast and lunch and got us whatever we needed. When our suites down the hall were open the staff came and took all of our belongings and brought everything over to our rooms. So amazing, I literally didn't have to worry about a thing. Everything was thought of and done for me with such care.
We were able to have our ceremony in the Courtyard Gardens (as planned) under the magical garden string lights. The reception area and the area for the cocktail hour were decorated so beautifully. I live off Pinterest and had so many ideas that I pestered Brianna about constantly. She made every single idea come to life. It was AMAZING! The food was also incredible - very important.
I just can't say enough positive things about this place and everyone that I worked with. I can not wait to go back and visit, I wish I could experience it one more time. Worth every single penny. 5 stars all the way!! -

Samantha Sent on 06/01/2019Elegant, and staff is super friendly!
Brianna made time for me the day after I first contacted her. She sat down with my mom and I and answered every question we could think of. We walked around the venue with her for an hour. She didn't seem rushed at all. She was super pleasant and very helpful. She made it impossible to say no to Bedford, as well as how gorgeous the venue is. -

Kathleen Sent on 11/06/2018Amazing Experience!
We had our wedding on September 28, 2018 at the Bedford Village Inn and it truly was the most amazing night of our lives, largely due to the effort by the BVI and their wonderful staff. From the very first tour, I was extremely impressed by the level of service, attention to detail and work the BVI was willing to put in to make your wedding exactly what we had in mind. Nicolette was our wedding coordinator throughout the planning process and she is absolutely incredible. We happened to be getting married the same weekend as her so we had some help from other staff members during the event (all of this we knew far in advance) and no one missed a beat. They set up absolutely everything, were attentive to us throughout the weekend, and made the event a night we will never, ever forget. They completely managed the event for us from a coordination standpoint, but even the little things stood out to us like giving us champagne as soon as we walked down the aisle after our ceremony, following us around with appetizers during the cocktail hour, gathering my bouquet and our cake topper and placing them in our room so we wouldn't forget them. On top of everything, we received and are still receiving compliments about how gorgeous the venue was and how wonderful the food was. I can't say enough about this wonderful venue and their staff. You will not regret booking with them, and the icing on the cake is that you can always go back to stay and celebrate your anniversary! Thank you for everything Nicolette and BVI Staff!! -

Kelly Sent on 08/15/2018The Bedford Village Inn and team are absolutely amazing! Worth every penny! All staff were nice, professional, and so helpful during and leading up to my wedding. We had the pleasure of working with Nicolette and she was so sweet, helpful, and knowledgable. The day of my wedding it ended up raining which was pretty upsetting to me. However, the staff at BVI are such pros that transitioning to indoors was seamless, quick, and still beautiful. We also had the pleasure of working with Shannon and Ashley the day of the wedding who helped the day go smoothly as well. They also added some details that made for sweet and lasting memories :) -
![KellySD]()
Kelly Sent on 09/28/2015It was so important to us to choose a venue that reflected our us as a couple, and we really hit the jackpot with the Bedford Village Inn. First of all, it's absolutely gorgeous and elegant while still feeling cozy and charming. Our guests were blown away by how beautiful it is. On top of that, the staff is incredibly professional and helpful in every way. We worked primarily with Melissa Q. leading up to the wedding and she was always professional and prompt in her responses, and patient with my numerous emails and requests. We worked with Jen during the rehearsal and day of the ceremony, and she made sure everything ran perfectly while ensuring that we all felt comfortable and well-informed about what to expect. She really is a rockstar and quickly felt like a good friend. I'm super Type-A when it comes to stuff like planning events (especially my own wedding!) so it's hard for me to trust others to bring my visions to life, but the whole BVI staff really put me at ease and pulled everything together more beautiful than I ever could have hoped for. Not to mention the food is absolutely incredible and our guests are still raving about it. We really felt pampered from the rehearsal to the post-wedding brunch and we are so incredibly happy that we chose the BVI to host our wedding. They really have assembled an amazing team who simply "get it" when it comes to weddings and hospitality. -
![Megan]()
Megan Sent on 05/11/2015My husband and I were married at St. Anselm College in April 2015. When we began our reception venue search, we looked at a handful of places close by. Bedford Village Inn was the clear winner because of the unique setting and the abundance of experience they have with weddings and events in general. From the time you book an appointment to take a look, it’s clear that BVI has their act together.
I am a very organized person, so I appreciated that BVI always fit in with my high expectations. They always had an answer for every question and kept the planning process running smoothly. We were provided with a comprehensive packet containing all package information (menu, alcohol, extras), a timeline of milestones with BVI, a list of “what to expect” on the day-of, and more! The final details appointment held several weeks before the wedding was absolutely fantastic and helped to set us at ease.
Megan Lawrence, the Wedding Coordinator, was extremely responsive and always a pleasure to speak with on the phone or via email. About a month before the wedding, we were speaking on a weekly basis. She never made me feel like my questions were silly or that she didn’t have time for me. Within five minutes of meeting her when we dropped off décor, my parents concluded that “she is perfect for this job.”
We found BVI to be pretty comparable in price to some other venues in the area, perhaps costing us a bit more in the end. Remember, when it comes to booking vendors for your wedding, you get what you pay for! BVI was worth every penny. -

Dream Winter Wedding
My husband and I, along with our guests, cannot say enough great things about the BVI! This place holds a special place in our hearts as we’ve been frequent guests of the Christmas Eve dinner, so when it came to choosing a venue for our wedding, the BVI was already high on our list. That feeling was elevated from the get-go when we met with Madison for the first time for a tour. We both left after this meeting knowing that this was our top choice and after the whole process, we would get married here again and again! Madison was on top of things every time we talked to her, answering all of our questions, no matter how silly or small. One perk we took advantage of was the Styled by BVI option, which was wonderful! Melissa was so easy to work with, and the decor was truly a dream! The day of the wedding was perfection! Madison was amazing, making sure everything went exactly as we wished. It could not have been smoother! And everyone on the staff was incredible! Allyson was amazing handling all our hotel questions and concerns quickly and with care, and the rooms are incredible! Nikol was stellar! She made sure my husband and I had everything we needed-food, a drink, a dress fix…you name it, she was there! And Gillian was wonderful for making sure that everything was squared away, and we didn’t have to think about a thing with the end of the night process! I apologize for the lengthy review, but I could not say enough good things about this place! We knew we would have a great experience here and that we were in good hands from the beginning, but truly, they exceeded our expectations in every way!! Thank you Madison and all for making our dream wedding a reality! -
