Perfect Venue for us!
The Sherwood Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding day. The vintage, intimate setting provided a warm and cozy atmosphere that made our guests feel right at home. The staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the entire planning process, ensuring that every detail was just right. They truly know how to make a couple feel special and create an event that is tailored to the couple's unique style and personality. The value was also great, as the Sherwood Inn offered high-quality service and amenities at a reasonable price. We are so grateful to the Sherwood team for helping to make our wedding day so memorable.
Absolutely Wonderful
The Sherwood did the most amazing job with our larger wedding! Claire was wonderful to work with as we were in the planning process and made sure everything went seamlessly the day of. All the staff was attentive and food and drinks were delicious. All of our guests raved about their experience at the gorgeous venue!
