Planning perspective

What to consider before reaching out

A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.

For a venue partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Andrew and his staff were outstanding in every way. We got last minute reservations back in Feb for a last minute funeral and things were tough. The crew at The Red Lion bent over backwards to make everything run as smooth as possible. I appreciate it so much that next time I'm in Boston we'll just be staying here and taking the commuter rail into Boston. Give this place a chance, you won't regret it.

A review about our experience for our wedding doesn't feel like I'm serving justice to the experience we had. Every interaction we had was incredible. Andrew and Nancy were incredibly helpful when it came to booking our room blocks for our entire bridal party. The process was incredibly easy and smooth. Being able to have our entire bridal party stay at Inn was so special and fun. We had our rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, ceremony, reception, and after party at the the RLI and each event went off without a hitch. Janey was absolutely incredible during to entire planning process. Every question we had was answered with patience and excitement. Any concerns we had went right out the window ...

We both grew up in the area and have eaten at the delicious restaurant so it was a logical choice for our wedding. It is a beautiful, historic property in a quaint village walking distance from the ocean. We had a short timeline so planning was stressful but Samantha supported us until the very end. Also shout out to Tariq who ensured our day of experience was as stress free as possible. Highly recommend this venue.

Beautiful establishment! Rooms are Amazing, beautiful and clean. We were here for a wedding in their barn. It was absolutely beautiful and well done. Food and service were great. It was so convenient to stay in the same building. They have a tavern and a speakeasy on the property, also convenient. I wish I got to enjoy the in ground pool. Great location with a few cute businesses in the area. I'll be back!

We have done a road trip visiting colleges from New York, to Burlington to Boston and we had one night at the red lion. It was by far the best night of our 10 night tour. Such a memorable experience, the staff were amazing, the room was huge and luxurious and THE best coffee! Highly recommend!

Getting here

How far is this from home?

Pick the city you and most of your guests will be driving from and we will estimate the trip.

An estimate for planning, not live traffic. Leafy weekends in October always take longer.
