To potential Brook Forest clients,
I had my wedding at the Brook Forest Inn September 9th, 2006. We had about 102 people with four attendants on either side. Sheri and her staff were truly amazing and helped my wedding flow perfectly. We rented out the entire inn. All of my attendants and family commented how “homey” and “cozy” staying at the inn made them feel. We were all a few doors away and could celebrate without worrying about driving or coordinating plans.
From the afternoon before to the morning of the wedding, the staff was busy making the inn spotless. Sheri was very flexible, rearranging small furniture and decorations to ensure that my main décor would be in the perfect place. I had planned my ceremony outside and an half an hou
r before the wedding it started to thunderstorm and hail. I was very anxious; my fiancée and I were reluctant to have the wedding inside. So, to be practical, Sheri and her staff setup the dining room with the tables and chairs pushed to the outer edges, making an aisle down the middle of the dining room just in case the rain did not clear and we were forced to hold the wedding inside. We all waited an additional 20 minutes and the rain stopped and the sun came out. Without bothering me or anyone in my family Sheri and her staff rearranged the dining room and put things in order to be finished 20 minutes a head of schedule. The wedding went off without a hitch. The Brook Forest was a perfect intimate space for a wedding our size. The bartenders were very friendly and inspired a ton of lively conversation. During that evening and into the weeks to come several people approached me to tell me that we had one of the most beautiful, simple, classy and unique weddings they had ever seen.
I highly recommend the Brook Forest Inn. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Emily Evans-Artale

“Your inn received rave reviews from our family and friends - thank you. I thought you may have some use for the attached pictures taken of your inn on our wedding day (there are more if you are interested). I had to include the photo of us walking over the bridge to exemplify the beautiful, romantic location - so picturesque!“

"We had wanted a winter wedding and the Brook Forest Inn turned out to be the best location we could have asked for. Sheri worked with us closely through the entire process, helping us visualize the setup for our 105+ expected guests. On the wedding day, we showed up early to make sure things were in place before the ceremony. When we arrived, the staff had already done the majority of the setup with only the finishing touches needed. Brook Forest was truly a beautiful location and all the character in the entire place comes through in our stunning photos. Our friends and family that attended said the entire evening felt warm and inviting with an atmosphere of simple elegance and charm that many had not experienced in other weddings they attended. The staff was fun and entertaining the entire night and worked to make the mood light and fun, but they never failed to attend to any of our needs throughout the evening. We will look back and always remember the unforgettable wedding we had at Brook Forest Inn and the people, like Sheri, that helped make it so memorable".
"If anyone is looking for the cozy, elegant wedding of a lifetime, feel free to contact us anytime as we highly recommend having your wedding here!"
