Inn on Boltwood Reviews

We would highly recommend Inn on Boltwood. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had our perfect day run as smoothly as possible. They are upfront with pricing and open to any and all customizations.

The venue was beautiful, the food was phenomenal, and all of the staff members were amazing. Special shout out to Peter who really helped to make our wedding day perfect! He truly managed to anticipate our every need. Poor weather conditions caused the ceremony to be moved indoors but, because of the excellent contingency plan that the Inn had in place, you would have never known that an indoor ceremony wasn’t the plan all along! We have nothing but positive things to say about the Inn on Boltwood!

We can’t say enough about how wonderful the entire staff, special shout-out to Catherine, Steven & Peter! We were supposed to have our reception on the rooftop, it turned out to be 96 degrees on our wedding day! They were all able to relocate us to the ballroom and it was just as beautiful! Thank you all for our beautiful wedding day!

We had a wonderful small (fewer than 20 people) wedding in the library and greenhouse room at the Inn on Boltwood! Catherine and her team did a great job on a short timeline. They were very helpful, accommodating, and made our event low-pressure which was important to us. The location was a beautiful backdrop for photos. They were very professional and organized and everything ran smoothly!

My husband and I got married at the Inn on Boltwood on 10/09/20 and it was an absolute dream come true. The team at Inn on Boltwood - Catherine, Jeff, Daniella - went above and beyond to cater to our needs and help us every step of the way as we planned our dream wedding amid a pandemic. Every single person raved about the rooms, the grounds, and more importantly, the food. We keep hearing, "You feed us WELL!" And the cherry on top is this venue's affordability. You cannot go wrong with the Inn on Boltwood - I highly recommend!

The most special and beautiful venue, amazing team!

My husband and I got married at the Lord Jeffery Inn on 6/1/2018 and I can't say enough wonderful things about Amanda, Jeff, and Daniela! First of all - the venue is just gorgeous, and there are a number of space options depending on the size of your wedding. There are so many backdrops for gorgeous photographs, including the giant fireplace on the rooftop and the firepit out in front of the 30 Boltwood restaurant. Amanda was so helpful and informative throughout the entire process. She was extremely flexible and allowed us to really customize our menu - and bring in cupcakes from our favorite bakery! She recommended vendors to us and they were also all fantastic! The wedding day ran smoothly and all of our guests commented to us throughout the night and are still telling us a week later how beautiful the venue is and how delicious the food was (including some people who said they plan to just come have dinner at the restaurant at some point in the future). The pricing is exactly right for the quality and service that you get, 100% top notch. I felt well taken care of throughout the entire process and would recommend to anyone that they get married at the Lord Jeff!

My husband and I got married at the Lord Jeffery Inn on September 16, 2017 and we cannot speak highly enough about it this venue and their staff. From the second that we looked at the venue a year and a half before, we knew this would be the perfect spot to get married. Amanda was especially helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. She pointed us in the right direction to book each of our vendors and to think of little details that we wouldn't have thought of on our own. As soon as we arrived, two days before the wedding, Amanda, Daniela, and Jeff took everything off our hands and took away all the stress of planning. They fully carried out every little detail and delivered a day that was truly better than we could have ever imagined. Throughout the entire wedding day, they each kept everything on schedule and kept me and my husband calm. They attended to our guests and also made sure our bridal party had food and drinks throughout cocktail hour and during photos. I had a last minute hiccup with my dress, and Amanda even sewed me into it right before the ceremony. Kyle also was extremely helpful and personally attended to me and my husband on the on the wedding day. He made sure that we always had a full drink, and even ran things back to the bridal suite for me throughout the night. The food was unbelievable and after trying it at the tasting, we couldn't wait for the reception. This venue is extremely accommodating, has perfect New England charm, and was everything we were looking for and more. We love the Lord Jeffery Inn would highly recommend this to anyone planning a wedding.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Lord Jeffery Inn and it was nothing short of amazing. Since the majority of our family traveled in for the wedding, it was made into a weekend event. Our guests were so impressed with the Inn and how accommodating, friendly, and hospitable the staff was the entire weekend. When it came to the wedding, Amanda,Jeff,Daniela, and Kyle were hands down the best team. They were professional, attentive, and perfected every detail! From beginning to end they made the process easy and stress free. The venue was absolutely beautiful, the food was amazing, and the staff was awesome. We would highly recommend The Lord Jeffery Inn as a perfect place to have your wedding! Months later, our guests are still raving about how great of a venue the Lord Jeffery was.

When our first space canceled on us as they were closing, we scrambled to find another place to host our rehearsal dinner and we found the Lord Jeffery Inn. It turns out we actually upgraded! The weather was great so we were able to host our dinner out on the patio by the fireplace. All of our guests loved it and couldn't stop raving about the atmosphere and food. The meals were amazing - I only wish we lived closer then we'd go to their restaurant for seconds! They were also very accommodating to one of our guests who has Celiac and needed a gluten-free meal. Amanda was also very helpful and set up all the place cards for us (even though we only sent them to her the week prior). Thank you for making our rehearsal dinner so lovely!

The staff at the Lord Jeff is excellent!! Every interaction with them was pleasant and we really felt as though we were the only couple getting married there. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and the food was the biggest hit. As self-proclaimed foodies we knew that we did not want your typical "wedding food" and LJI did not disappoint. The tasting was delicious with so many different options. We also loved how willing they were to customize the menu. To honor of my husband's Jamaican heritage the Chef created an amazing jerk rub for the chicken, which was a special touch that all our family appreciated. Sarah and her staff were incredible and made us feel so special and gave all our guests the VIP treatment. We can't wait to celebrate our first anniversary at the LJI. Thank you for helping make our wedding one that we, and our families, will never forget!

The Lord Jeffery Inn is a gorgeous venue and we are so happy we chose it for our wedding weekend. We decided to have our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception at the inn and we were not disappointed. We chose this venue because we wanted to have a “wedding weekend” and make it easy for our wedding party and guests. The service was excellent and beyond our expectations. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that we had a wonderful wedding and we certainly did. We encountered a few bumps in the road along the way, but the Lord Jeffery Inn staff was accommodating and offered us great alternatives so that our guests had a wonderful time. The inn is a beautiful setting for photos and the our guests couldn’t say enough great things about the venue, food, drinks, etc. We had an amazing weekend and would definitely recommend this venue!

Knowing its reputation as a premiere venue in the Pioneer Valley, I was sure that it would not be affordable. Amanda Long put our fears to rest right away, and I was impressed with her personable nature from the very start. The Lord Jeff is the classic, romantic New England inn you have always dreamed of, but with all of the modern touches. I especially liked the firepits that dot the grounds . The staff are always attentive to your needs. The hotel rooms are elegant. 30 Boltwood uses the same kitchen and ingredients as the reception venue.

Wedding planning is a breeze at the Lord Jeff. Having to organize a wedding from Australia was an extremely difficult task, but Amanda helped at every step of the way. At no point did we feel snowed under with tasks and her guidance for us was thoroughly appreciated--linens? Colors? Little touches? Leading up to the wedding, Amanda saved the day by providing advice to us about a horrible issue involving tuxedos, and without her pep talk, we would not have had the best day. The Services Manager has only missed one wedding in all of his time at the inn, and that was to be a guest at Amanda's--talk about being dedicated to your job! Every guest raved about the staff. They helped put these grooms at ease every step of the way. Not only do they work extremely hard during venue but they set everything up for you. They not only do this according to your wishes, but they can make your sometimes disordered ideas into a perfected reality! The day completely went according to plan at the Lord Jeff. The staff ensured we stuck as closely as possible to the timeline. The food was exquisite (every guest was a fan!) and plentiful. There is not one bad word to say, and as a teacher I can be critical when I need to be. Impressed at every stage. The saddest part about the wedding week had to be checking out.

If you want the best service, the finest location and the best day, choose the Lord Jeff.

The Lord Jeffery and Amanda were wonderful for our big day! The Inn is just gorgeous and all of our wedding guests from out of town were just overwhelmed with its charm. The food was amazing, and the Lord Jeffery was very accommodating with any requests that we had-- food or otherwise. I would not have wanted to get married anywhere else!

We could not have picked a better venue for our June 2015 wedding! Amanda and her team at the inn are amazing. I had no idea what to expect when we started planning our wedding but it was totally stress free at the Lord Jeffery Inn.

We had our 6PM ceremony out on the back patio and our cocktail hour up on the gorgeous roof deck (the roof deck sealed the deal for us when we were looking at having our wedding there. It's absolutely perfect for an early summer evening) and our reception in the ballroom. The ballroom is beautiful (and the chandeliers are so lovely) and guests were able to access the back patio from the ballroom throughout the evening.

The food was fantastic! My husband and I really wanted to have amazing food for our guests and the Lord Jeffery Inn went above and beyond! This is not your typical wedding food that you find in a lot places. So many of our guests raved about the food as well as the wonderful service.

The inn itself is absolutely beautiful! Our immediate family and some close friends stayed at the inn with us for a couple of nights and it was so nice to be able to spend time with them the day before and the morning after for breakfast.

I've had so many of our guests tell us it was THE BEST wedding they had ever attended. Amanda Long is a true professional (as well as Jeff and everyone else at the inn) and so easy to work with. Every detail was taken care of and I felt absolutely NO stress on my wedding day. Thank you so much Amanda and your team for making our wedding the best evening ever! We are looking forward to returning for our anniversary.

The Lord Jeffery Inn was the perfect spot for our fall wedding. Though we are Amherst residents, the charm of the Inn made it an easy choice for our special day. Amanda, the wedding coordinator, was wonderful from the get go and was so helpful from the day we booked until the day of. The staff were all so wonderful the day of and were so accommodating of our families and friends. Even though it rained and we weren't able to have our ceremony outside, the staff quickly converted the indoor banquet room into a cozy, intimate and beautiful space for our ceremony. We had our reception in the tent and it was terrific. We had many people say that it was the best wedding they had ever been to and I think we owe that to the Lord Jeffery Inn!
**not to mention that it is a BEAUTIFUL backdrop for pictures with all of the wonderful hidden spots**

I can't say enough good things about the Lord Jeff!
Our wedding there was PERFECT. From the beginning, Amanda our wedding coordinator, was amazing. She was extremely detail oriented, and listened to exactly what we wanted. She was receptive to all of our suggestions, and even helped make some last minute tweaks. She made us feel 100% taken care of, and because of her I could really enjoy our wedding without worrying about the details. The rest of the staff at the Inn was also extremely service oriented, and everyone we met was a pleasure to work with.

The venue itself is beautiful. We had our ceremony in the back of the inn, and our reception outside in tent. Both worked out great!

I can't recommend the Lord Jeff enough! From start to finish they made sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted, and everything ran flawlessly on the big day.

We had an amazing wedding at The Lord Jeffery Inn and everything was perfect! Amanda and the rest of the team were true professionals, very responsive and made everything on our wedding day run like clockwork. Guests loved the venue and appreciated having a room right at the reception venue. Look no further, this is the spot for any special event you are planning.

My husband and I could not have been happier with our choice to get married at The Lord Jeffery Inn. From the very beginning, Amanda our wedding coordinator, was extremely attentive and helpful with the millions of questions I always had. We were planning our wedding from VA, but Amanda and staff made it easy to plan from afar.

Our ceremony was held outside on the patio and it was perfect. Even though everything was all in the same location, it felt like we were in three separate locations throughout the night. After the ceremony, our guests moved to the lawn for cocktail hour. We received numerous compliments in regards to the set up and the food.

Our reception was perfect. It was held under the white tent and was set up beautifully. The staff organized and displayed the tables and decor exactly how I had explained and imagined. Everything was perfect and there were no complaints from any of our family or friends. The staff was also very accommodating to my husband and I all night making sure we had everything we needed.

After our reception, my husband and I stayed in the wedding suite where we were greeted with chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of champagne. It was the perfect ending to the best day ever.

I cannot say enough good things about the Lord Jeffery Inn! From our very first meeting, we were completely overwhelmed by their professionalism, flexibility, and commitment to ensuring that we had the best possible wedding. Jen went really out of her way to help us - from coordinating all the logistics to recommending vendors, to helping set up decorations. The Inn is beautiful, the wedding packages are very reasonable, the food is wonderful, and the staff (especially the banquet staff and captain Jeff) are friendly, professional, and fun. I would definitely recommend the Lord Jeffery Inn to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the Pioneer Valley.

We had our wedding on October 22, 2017 at the Lord Jeffery Inn and couldn't be any happier with the venue & staff. Amanda and her team were amazing to work with. She was able to make our vision a reality. From the moment we walked in the door until we left the following day we were completely taken care of. Everyone was very professional and attentive to our every need. All of our guests were very impressed and had a fabulous time. Highly recommend the Lord Jeffery Inn. You will not be disappointed. We look forward to going back on our anniversary for many years to come. Thank you Amanda and all for making our day fabulous!

The Jeff has been remodeled and is absolutely stunning. On our wedding day, there were flash flood warnings and of course our entire day had been planned outside. At the last minute, Amanda and her team of professionals surprised me by setting up the library for our intimate ceremony for our 55 guests. They made what could have been a disaster into a dream come true. Also, our guests told us that the food was the best wedding food they had ever had.

The Lord Jeff was great to work with! They were so kind and I truly felt that the staff was as excited for the day as we were. They let our florist do some decorating and got creative themselves. The day was absolutely gorgeous. Our guests have not stopped talking about how beautiful everything was and how delicious the food was. If a fun, easy to wok with staff is what you're looking for the Lord Jeffery is for you.

The banquet team at the Lord Jeffery is as professional as they come. Amanda, Jeff and Rachael worked with us to make sure our wedding was perfect and our guests (and us) couldn't have been happier. Amanda responded to all of my last-minute requests and didn't miss a detail on our wedding day -- she helped us plan a perfect spot (and back-up spot) for our ketubah signing before the ceremony and without her our groomsman and groom would have forgotten their boutonnieres entirely. Jeff and Rachael walked us through everything in our final meeting and when we arrived at the Inn on our wedding day we were free to enjoy the day because we knew we were in good hands. Jeff even added a special touch to our decor, using some rose petals and lace to decorate our guest book and family portrait table. I've heard of brides who don't eat on their weddings but I ate everything because it was that good. My father-in-law, who is very particular about his steak, couldn't stop raving about how he could cut the filet mignon with a butter knife. The bridal suite was nicer than we thought and was a lovely place to get ready and take pictures before the wedding. The entire Inn is a photographer's dream -- recently renovated and decorated beautifully while retaining its historic charm -- and we made full use of all its spaces, from the outdoor patio and fireplace to the elegant library. We had such a good time at our wedding and we owe a big thank you to the Lord Jeffery for that!

Our wedding reception was literally a dream come true, and the Lord Jeffery Inn staff sure made it happen! They went above and beyond for ours and our guest’s needs. We worked with their TEAM of people to make sure every detail was correct. They even had one person dedicated to the bride another person dedicated to the groom the day of the wedding, making things even easier for us. The staff was the most easiest and down to earth people to work with for the wedding. We could not be more pleased with everything. Their timing was spot on for serving, and they tended to all of our guests needs. The food was amazing; everyone was raving about it and wanting more. Having a suite at the Inn made it so easy to get ready and at the end of the night we even received chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of prosecco in our room! I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff, chefs, and the Inn were!
Brides: if you want a stress free wedding, and great food, book your wedding at the Lord Jeffery Inn, you will not be disappointed! In fact it will be the best experience of your wedding, besides getting married to the love of your life! Any one that is getting married, I tell them go to the Lord Jeffery Inn for the best wedding reception you can imagine!!
