    Magically charming and highly professional

    The English Inn provided exceptional service, breathtaking scenery, and excellent food and drinks. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our wedding day! It was magical and breathtaking. We went with their diamond package, reserved the entire day, had our ceremony and reception there, and reserved cottages for multiple nights. Their event coordinator, Adriana, exceeded our expectations with so many details it’s difficult to list everything. One special, beyond expectation moment was how she helped coordinate our marriage certificate signing within the library, complete with champagne and hors devours from the cocktail hour, for an intimate moment with our immediate family members. All staff made great impressions on us and our guests. We had many guests stay at the Inn for the weekend, and all of them were highly impressed. The grounds and estate have been very well maintained, including being freshly mowed the morning of. We’d also like to highlight the kitchen crew and bar staff; they were on top of it! Everyone enjoyed their meals and couldn’t get enough of the specialty cocktails. Overall, we feel and heard from our guests that our wedding was magical, and we know a great deal of that came from the hard work of The English Inn and its staff. It really isn’t possible to write out all the positive feedback we feel and heard from our guests – without writing a book!

    A+ wedding venue

    Wow, the English Inn was an incredible choice for wedding venue on all fronts. The events manager was so professional, organized, and responsive - our planning anxiety was hugely reduced just by being in their capable hands. We loved having our ceremony on the beautiful grounds outside, cocktail hour was a blast on the patio outside the reception hall, and Medovue was nice and spacious for the reception. (Plus, we loved it as a backup location for the ceremony in case of bad weather.) We're thankful for all the staff's help throughout the day, and everyone LOVED dinner.

    We loved having our wedding here, and you will, too!

    Absolutely perfect!

    The English inn was the perfect choice for our wedding and I wouldn’t change a thing about it! The planning process was so simple - Adriana walked us through each decision and in no time our day was planned. Our guests loved the food and the simplicity of having the ceremony and dinner in one room. An extra bonus was not needing to decorate because the Inn is beautiful as is! The flexibility of the venue on rearranging our seating at the last minute (Covid cancellations), and the ease of selecting from
    their menu, and the fact they accept credit cards all just added to the day. It was truly a stress free experience which is great for a busy couple, or people who don’t want to spend a lot of time wedding planning. I have absolutely no regrets and am so grateful for the inn and their amazing staff!

    All-inclusive and Absolutely Gorgeous!

    My wife and I fell in love with the English Inn the moment we laid eyes on it. We both have backgrounds in history, so it just felt right to have our wedding at a historic venue. Every inch of the inn, the outlying cottages, and the grounds outside are beautiful year-round. Our wedding colors of green and gold fit perfectly with the decor both indoors in Medovue Hall as well as outside as the fall leaves began to turn. On top of the beautiful view during our ceremony and reception, the service from events manager Adriana was beyond exceptional. Due to the pandemic, we made the difficult decision to push our wedding date back from 2020 to 2021, and Adriana was extremely accommodating throughout the entire process. She helped us move our room bookings, adjust the date and time of our ceremony and reception, and was consistently there for us whenever we needed help planning aspects of our day. In terms of our actual wedding, we felt that all the services provided to us were well worth the price. The meals were quite literally some of the most delicious we've ever had in our entire lives, and the service throughout the cocktail hour and reception were phenomenal. We had several guests with dietary restrictions all of them were accommodated with excellent meals. And in the evening when it was time to retire to our rooms, we were again met with luxury in every aspect. The rooms were fantastic and each of them unique in a charming way. All of our guests complimented us on our choice of venue and were pleased with the English Inn as much as we were. And if we had to choose again, we would choose to have our wedding at the English Inn in a heartbeat. We can't wait to visit again!

    Mother of bride

    My daughter scheduled her reception with the English Inn. Because she lives in another state I met with the coordinator several
    times to confirm plans. Everything and everyone was spot on. The venue was beautiful the wait staff impeccable and the food was delicious. Cooked to perfection and Service was fabulous.

    The English Inn is absolutely the most gorgeous venue for a wedding! We were married there September 6th 2019 and was just beautiful!

It’s so nice to have the ceremony and reception in one spot. The grounds are so beautiful for the ceremony and pictures! Reception hall is gorgeous! I had so many compliments on this venue!

    Phenomenal

    Our daughter recently got married at the English Inn. Every moment start to finish was amazing! The ceremony and reception areas were gorgeous! The wait staff went over and beyond to ensure that our event went smoothly and our guests were taken care of - like royalty! Rebecca personally maintained contact with me ensuring our happiness; she and her banquet team were spectacular and professional in every possible way. Our guests raved about the food, as the meal was phenomenal!!! Every aspect of the planning process, rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and throughout the wedding day and our nights stay was perfection. It will be a day/experience we will always remember fondly, with gratitude to English Inn staff.
    Adriana, the special events organizer, was a joy to work with. She made the planning and execution of our event a pleasant and joyful experience. The English Inn is blessed to have her on staff. She is an incredible representative of the English Inn and the event services they offer. If I could I would give them a 10 star rating!!! I highly recommend you choose the English Inn for your special occasion!

    Amber was our wedding coordinator and I have nothing but positive things to say. She was so supportive and helpful throughout the whole process. Amber went above and beyond and really made my husband and I feel special. We are so thankful for her help and would recommend not only the English Inn but specifically Amber.

    Our entire experience with The English Inn was truly amazing. Amber was an absolute pleasure to work with, and she went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. We stayed in the Ivy Cottage, and it was the perfect place for my bridal party to get ready the morning of our wedding. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking and we were able to get some beautiful pictures before and after our offsite ceremony. The staff was exceptional, and the food was out of this world. We received so many compliments from our guests who loved the venue, service, and said the food was the best they ever had. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience, and I can’t wait to go back for our 1-year anniversary.

    Choosing the English Inn for our wedding reception was one of the best decisions we ever made. We were super lucky with a sunny 75 degree day in early May, but the grounds are beautiful. We made a whole weekend out of it with our bridal party and family staying on site for two nights for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. The rooms are beautiful and the staff is fabulous. They were extremely accommodating before the wedding during planning and during with our many questions and requests. Adriana helped us plan the reception and she is fantastic to work with. Our guests have only had positive comments and they LOVE the food and so do we. Cannot wait to go back!

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the English Inn and it could not have been more perfect! Our guests raved about the food, the grounds and the superior service that was given. Amber, our wedding coordinator, was so professional and helpful from the very beginning until the end. Anything that we missed, she thought of. Rebecca was in charge of our cocktail hour and our reception, and she also was fantastic. She would check in and make sure everything was going well and kept everything moving. All of the staff was very helpful and accommodating and I can't say enough about the beautiful facilities.

    The English Inn is the premiere location for a wedding ceremony/reception in the Lansing Area. We received so many compliments regarding the venue, delicious food, and how seamless everything was. Adriana is a rock star at coordinating events and we literally had NO issues what so ever. Everything was flawless and we even had some very strict dietary requirements for a few guests.

    I cannot say enough good things regarding the service, staff, location, and food.

    The English Inn really has it all! You couldn't ask for a more beautiful place with such amazing food and staff. Adriana had everything under control and even made my mom feel comfortable with everything (Not a small task let me tell you). The staff showed us at every turn that they wanted everything to be perfect and that they wanted to take care of us. Our wedding went so smoothly and everyone had an amazing time!! It's easy for a venue to rest on the beauty of the grounds but The English Inn really strives to make everything personable and special.
    Going out to the inn became a treat for us when we tested the food and the cake. We even planned a trip just to stay the night and try the breakfast (for science :p), which was amazing BTW. I can't wait to go back to visit. They really made everything wonderful for us.

    I would recommend the English Inn to ANYONE AND EVERYONE!!! Adriana was one of the sweetest people I have ever met and she was available over email and phone anytime I needed her. She had everything set up perfectly for the day of and was so flexible with my needs. She designed an amazing caramel apple bar that I wanted for my wedding and everyone enjoyed it! The food was incredible, and space held the perfect amount of people (I had 200 guests) and there was plenty of space to move. The servers of food and bartenders were thoughtful, sweet, and understanding. My wedding day wouldn't have been the same without everyone involved! The English Inn is beautiful and the perfect place for a bride and groom that want the wedding of their dreams! :)
