“From the moment we booked The Hermitage Inn nearly two years before our wedding, we knew we had made the right decision—but somehow, our experience still exceeded every expectation we had.
Planning a wedding from out of state can be overwhelming, but the entire process was completely seamless from beginning to end. Every question was answered promptly, every detail was thoughtfully considered, and we always felt like we were in the absolute best hands.
The biggest reason for that is Gina Whalen. There truly aren't enough words to express how incredible she is. Gina is, without a doubt, one of the most talented, organized, kind, and genuine event coordinators we have ever met. She made us feel like we were her only couple, despite knowing how many weddings she manages. Her communication was exceptional, her attention to detail was unmatched, and her calm, reassuring presence made the entire planning process enjoyable instead of stressful. Every single promise she made was fulfilled—and then some. She anticipated needs before we even realized we had them and made sure every detail was absolutely perfect.
Our entire wedding weekend was nothing short of magical. The welcome party was the perfect way to kick off the celebrations, and the staff went above and beyond to make our family and friends feel welcomed and cared for. Then came the wedding day—and we were completely blown away. Every member of the Hermitage team worked so hard behind the scenes to create a day that was effortless, beautiful, and unforgettable.
The venue itself is breathtaking. The grounds are impeccably maintained, the mountain backdrop is stunning, and every space feels elegant while still being warm and inviting. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was, how incredible the food was, and how smoothly the entire weekend flowed. We heard over and over again that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended.
One of the things we appreciated most was how genuinely invested everyone at The Hermitage Inn was in making our wedding special. It never felt transactional—it felt personal. The entire team celebrated with us, cared about our families, and worked tirelessly to make our vision come to life.
Looking back, there isn't a single thing we would change. Every expectation we had was not only met—it was surpassed in every possible way. If you're considering The Hermitage Inn as your wedding venue, stop searching and book it. You will not find a more beautiful location, a more professional team, or a better wedding coordinator than Gina Whalen.
To Gina and everyone at The Hermitage Inn: thank you for giving us the most incredible weekend of our lives. The memories you helped create will stay with us forever, and we are endlessly grateful. We wish we could do it all over again.”
