“We were so glad we found Meadow Brook Inn! It checked off all of the boxes for us AND the staff were awesome to work with. We dreamt of having our ceremony outdoors in nature and despite a little bit of rain, the MBI team made sure our dreams came true. Marisa was communicative throughout the process and guided us through our ceremony rehearsal. Our guests raved about the appetizers and desserts and over all we had a joyful experience. The ceremony space was so peaceful, the lawn is elegant and charming, and the reception hall, lounge, and bar are all spacious and comfortable. We were able to come in the day before to decorate before our rehearsal and add our own personal touch the the venue. I am so grateful we found MBI and that we were able to host our wedding here :) Thank you Marisa, Gabe, Brian, and to the whole MBI team for making this once in a lifetime celebration so special for all of us!”

“We got married in the Biltmore Ballroom of the Graduate last weekend and it was the perfect venue! To start, Elise is an absolute pro at wedding planning/coordinating, and her whole staff was incredible. We felt so supported from the beginning of planning, with a million little random questions- all the way up to the wedding day. Over the last few months we have continued to joke that "we don't think we're doing wedding planning right" whenever we were asked how planning is going, because we haven't felt stressed at all, and thats because of the support we received from Elise and her team. The actual weekend of our wedding flowed so smoothly, and was truly a blast. Again, Elise and her staff handled everything that day, so we were able to just sit back and really enjoy every moment of our wedding day. The hotel itself was very accommodating for our guests, and we are still receiving compliments on how beautiful the venue was, and how much everyone loved the food. We also cannot get over the photos we took at the hotel! Cannot recommend enough!”

Being able to have full trust in Rachel was really the greatest gift I could ask for. She made the process so stress-free and it's worth mentioning she's super sweet and a joy to be around! When I think back on my wedding, I'll always remember how helpful she was and how much that positively impacted the entire experience. Every staff member I worked with was incredibly helpful and pleasant. My guests rang their praises after the big day too. The food and bar service was top notch.

It poured the entire weekend of our wedding, including the wedding day and they still made the place absolutely stunning. 2 weeks post wedding & Our guests even haven’t stopped telling us how amazing the staff and venue were! They made sure my husband and I were 100% taken care of 100% of the time throughout the night. They kept our food covered until we were ready to eat as it’s easy getting stopped by people greeting you. They made sure we had drinks as we needed them. We had our own space/bathroom to get away to when we needed a breather minute. The entire staff was friendly and again just I don’t know how to put into words how happy I am, and I’m especially grateful for Maggie!!

I scheduled our ceremony during the sun set and it was more than I could have ever expected. The food was amazing, and the entire team worked efficiently to ensure our wedding day went off without a hitch. I did add the clam chowder and clam cakes to our cocktail hour and all the guests have raved about how good the clam cakes were! In my opinion they are better than Iggy’s. Yes, I said that!
