No Place Better than the RLI
The Red Lion Inn will always have a special place in our hearts. From the very beginning, we were blown away. It was our FIRST venue tour and we immediately fell in love. With the instant smell of the wood burning stove and warmth from the staff, we signed right then and there. Sean and I got married on Friday October 24th, but had the pleasure of starting off our wedding celebrations the night before! Our family and friends were greeted by Nancy and Andrew (two of the nicest people ever) at the front desk and checked into their cozy rooms. Our rehearsal dinner was in the Hillside House, where we were served an amazing dinner and had great service from all the staff. The party then continued to The Cave for some late night music and dancing before this bride had to go to bed for the big day ahead. All of us getting ready for the wedding together all at the same property was not only logistically perfect, but also SO much fun. The girls got ready in the Hillside House while the guys had a drink in The Tavern before all the festivities began. The property is stunning, especially with the fall foliage, and was the perfect backdrop for our first look and photos. Now, no one knows how to throw a party quite like Krystel and Toufik! There was not a moment that passed throughout the entire day where Sean and I had to ask for anything. They were always at our side and so helpful, supportive, and calming. I can’t say enough about Krystel’s help throughout the entire wedding planning process. She got back to me so fast about every single question (and I’m sure some were crazy) and always made me feel like she was there for whatever we needed. She even offered to help us out at the church when we were in need of a coordinator. She thinks of every detail but carries herself with such ease and grace and never seems stressed. And Toufik is truly a wedding superhero! Whether he was helping us cut the cake or bringing rescue seltzer water to get a stain off my dress at the end of the night (yes, my husband spilt ketchup on my wedding dress at the after party-lol). Our parents and friends all commented on how helpful they both were. We have done nothing but smile as we think back to our wedding day. We truly couldn’t have imagined it anywhere but The Red Lion Inn. We can not wait to visit soon ️️️ We love you RLI team! Love, Katie and Sean Davin
Response from vendor•Dec 5, 2025Katie and Sean, Congratulations! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review, we were honored to be a part of your special day. We are so touched by your kind words towards our staff and are thrilled to hear of your wonderful experience working with Krystel, Toufik, Nancy, Andrew and the rest of the team. We look forward to welcoming you back for your one year anniversary stay!Best Wedding Ever!
In August, 2025 our daughter got married at the Red Lion Inn! In all the weddings we have attended in our lives, this one was the most spectacular! The attention we all received throughout the day between the "bride tribe" and the men in The Cave was definitely above and beyond anything we ever expected! In addition, the food was amazing and the cocktail hour, dessert table, donut station, etc. were nothing like we have ever experienced! Many of our guests are STILL talking about how much fun they had and how wonderful everything was!
Response from vendor•Dec 5, 2025Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review! We are so happy to hear that your daughter had a wonderful wedding with us. We hope to welcome you back to The Red Lion Inn soon!Amazing venue with an even better team!
We got married at the Red Lion Inn on June 29. We had the most wonderful day celebrating thanks to the incredible team at the Red Lion Inn. Our coordinator Krystel helped us plan every detail and offered wonderful support during the event. Everything ran smoothly, which was no small feat. Our guests had a wonderful time and raved about the venue (especially the food). Thank you to the Red Lion Inn for taking such great care of us!
Response from vendor•Dec 5, 2025Hi Liz, Congratulations! We were so honored to be part of your special day, and are thrilled to hear you had a great experience working with Krystel. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We look forward to welcoming you back for your one year anniversary stay!Wedding of Our Dreams!
From the moment we reached out on Zola, The Red Lion Inn team was nothing short of incredible. Responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. We were lucky enough to be paired with Sam as our wedding producer, and I truly can’t say enough good things. She was an absolute rock throughout the entire planning process—supportive of all our wild DIY ideas and always focused on making our vision come to life! Thanks to her, we had the wedding of our dreams! Toufik was a total hero the entire wedding weekend! He was the first one there and the last one to leave, constantly checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. From keeping our glasses full to helping unload cars and organizing all of our things, he went above and beyond in every way. Andrew, the innkeeper, was also so kind and helpful throughout—his warmth and care didn’t go unnoticed. We are so grateful to the entire Red Lion Inn team. The venue itself is stunning, but it’s the people who make it truly special. We would recommend this place a thousand times over. Thank you for giving us the most magical day!
Response from vendor•Dec 5, 2025Cassie and Jonathon, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! It was an honor to host your special day at the Red Lion Inn. Sam, Toufik, Andrew and the rest of our team will be overjoyed to know how much their efforts meant to you. They take great pride in ensuring every detail is perfect, and your appreciation is the greatest reward. We wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, and wonderful memories together. We look forward to welcoming you back for your one year anniversary stay!
