I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else than the Bear Mountain Inn. It is a very magical place and the owners and employees made you feel like apart of the family. Everything is so clean and they make you feel really special the entire time! My close friends and family got to spend 3 full days with us as we celebrated the best weekend of our lives! I highly recommend this venue, 10/10!
