Whether it’s just the two of you, or a gathering of a handful of family or friends (small wedding), we strive to make the event lovely, loving, stress-free and memorable.
Elopement ceremony for the two of you.
Eloping couples may choose the exact location for their ceremony once they arrive at the inn.
The perennial garden surrounds you in flowers with mountain ridges in the background. Other choices include the bay window in the main rental room, in front of the fountain, under the gazebo, facing or with backs to the mountain view or in the gallery facing the garden have all been the choice of previous couples. The parlor is popular in winter as is a spot near the Christmas tree. The cake and punch “ceremony” is usually set up in the inn’s dining room. No matter how intimate your wedding, we make those moments as beautiful as your love.
