We had our wedding at the Colonial Hotel in July, and it was truly the best experience from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. With the pagoda outside for the ceremony and the amazing outdoor tent for the reception. We had family traveling who got the pleasure of staying at the hotel, as did me and my Husband, and everything was clean and comfortable. Access to the pool and hot tub, and their amazing restaurant and bar. The day of the wedding I was well taken care of, and didn’t have to worry about a single thing, everything was decorated and prepared perfectly, they took my visions and made them come to life! Both me and my husband got many updates on the day of the wedding, making sure we knew where we needed to be and what would be happening next, which helped tremendously! We couldn’t be anymore pleased, and we will forever recommend the Colonial Hotel!

My husband and I just had many of our wedding events at the Blue Bear Inn including our Welcome Party, After Party, and post-wedding Brunch and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. The Blue Bear Inn is an unbelievably beautiful venue with its views down into the valley while set on a quiet, peaceful road. It is gorgeous and feels like home, somehow perfectly balancing feeling grand and intimate at the same time. The team at Blue Bear is also unmatched. They are the kindest people, who were truly invested in every step of the process with us. We had so many last minute changes and we could not have figured it all out with Carrie, who was so organized and patient both with us and all of our guests. At the Blue Bear, we got to know all of the staff and they were always making sure that we were happy and had everything that we needed and requested, whether it was Bob going around the entire property all day making sure all guests had what they needed or Bryan making sure I had enough light to walk through the yard after dark in my wedding heels or the staff dancing with us at night. The food they provided for the events was actually unbelievably, both in presentation and in taste. I was stunned by every course that kept coming out. The Blue Bear is a perfect venue for any and all wedding events and we couldn't recommend it more!!
