Bridal Consultant and Events Coordinator
Our on-site Bridal Consultant and Events Coordinator is available for any event no matter the size to help create the perfect ambiance and design the most memorable day of your life. The journey begins with a guided tour of the facility to see first hand which areas best fit your needs.

Once the proposal is fine tuned to your exact needs and accepted, a contract will be signed and a 25% deposit to secure the services of the Brook Forest Inn. Your event is added to our Calendar of Events schedule and we place all guest rooms not already reserved on hold. 60 days from the event 50% of the contract is due with the final 25% and any contract additions due 1 week prior to the event. We will also send out our Brook Forest Inn Preferred Vendor Package. This will provide you with a wealth of contact information for other necessities such as flowers, photography, music, ministers, invitations, hair and make-up artistry, even neckline designs to compliment your wedding attire. The information we send you is from trusted vendors who have worked with the Brook Forest Inn before.
The Dining Experience
The dining experience for your special event is very important. So only the finest cuisine is produced from the Brook Forest Inn kitchen. From hors d’ouerves and main entrees to desserts, the menus that follow provide many options that tempt the pallet. We offer great flexibility so if our buffet combinations aren’t exactly what you are looking for you can change, rearrange or otherwise create your own package (additional fee may apply) from any of our other menus offered at the Brook Forest Inn. We can prepare your meal in a buffet, family or plated style of service. Buffet service offers more variety of food to your guests at attractive per person rates. Family service provides a home style feel to dinner while the plated service is much more labor intensive but offers greater elegan
ce. Most meals are topped off with service of a tasty dessert. Our kitchen professionals are masters in dessert preparation. From tiered, multi-layered wedding cakes to pies or bread pudding, the Brook Forest Inn kitchen prepares marvelous treats.
The right mix of beverages compliments a very special day. Bartenders for the Brook Forest Inn are trained professionals in all facets of beverage service and are an integral part of your beverage service needs. Whether the event calls for an open or cash bar our piano bar and lounge serves beverages nightly from 4:00 pm to last call. For an additional fee alternate bartender service stations can be set up in the reception room and in the private gardens area. Our Events Coordinator will guide you in deciding what beverages should be ordered, why you should consider a cap amount on your open bar and how to calculate this, putting a time limit on paid beverage services, finding specialty beverage items and details on how we track open bar items. We take our beverage service responsibilities seriously so beverage service professionals will ask anyone appearing to be under the age of 30 for their ID before they are served any alcoholic beverages.
Staff at the Brook Forest Inn will orchestrate the day’s events with elegance and style. We’ll manage all the details working with any designated individuals so you don’t have to. Your day should be hassle-free – that’s what we are here for.
