“The Colonial Hotel was the perfect choice for our wedding of 200 guests. Mary and her team were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our planning process, and they proved it when we needed them most. The day before our ceremony, the forecast called for rain and strong winds, but Mary jumped into action and rearranged our entire event indoors in less than 24 hours without missing a beat. What really impressed us was how they managed every single dietary restriction for all our guests without any issues or confusion. The space itself is elegant and timeless, and everything felt effortless from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to make our day special.”

“The Blue Bear Inn was the perfect wedding venue for us! We knew we wanted a venue that allowed dogs, was close to an airport (1 hr) for family traveling, had excellent food, offered beautiful scenery, could house our out-of-town guests, was mostly a one stop shop (with lodging, wedding venue, ceremony site options, day-of-coordination, catering, & cake/desserts), and provided historical romance vibes without being a barn — and the Blue Bear checked every box and then some! Carrie, Bob, and the team gave us such a special wedding weekend in May - they didn't plan the most perfect rainbow, but I know they would’ve if they could!”

“Concord's Colonial Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding day. The general manager and hotel events point of contact were incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the entire planning process. The inn itself has a fun, historic New England feel that our guests loved - it truly felt like we had stepped back in time. The team placed welcome bags for our wedding guests in the block we reserved in the new wing, which was a thoughtful touch. We also loved staying in the charming cottage on the property. The quaint downtown area makes it a great place for our guests, many of whom traveled from all over the US for the wedding, to explore.

“The Colonnade was our venue for our September 2025 wedding reception. The entire team was so attentive, responsive, adaptable, and friendly - from the planning process, to our check-in experience, to the servers and bartenders in the Huntington ballroom throughout the event. Our hotel block was easy to plan and all our guests really enjoyed their stays, commenting how everything was top-notch. I cannot give enough thanks to Geena, she was with us every step of the way and helped us navigate planning such a large and meaningful event. She ensured every detail was remembered, was so attentive throughout the year leading up to the big day, and was a true joy to work with - for us and our team of vendors. She helped us and all of our guests feel welcome the entire weekend. Wedding planning is a big task to take on but it was great to not have to worry about many details because I knew I could count on Geena! Chef Nick was wonderful to work with from presenting our tasting and sharing stories behind his delicious recipes, allowing us to use the Rooftop Pool for our first look photos, working with us to customize our menu and dessert table, and stopping by during our meal to make sure everything was how we wanted and more. The food and service was simply outstanding and the Huntington Ballroom was a beautiful and elegant space. I cannot recommend hosting your wedding at The Colonnade more - the level of care we received from the initial inquiry to the day we checked out was unmatched.”
