A family brunch was hosted by my daughter & SIL, in the East Room. There were 10 of us…read more Josh took very good care of us & was attentive to our needs. My son ordered a burger with just cheese, but it arrived with hollandaise sauce on it. By the time he got his burger, everyone had finished their meals. I feel a more efficient way to order a burger is to build your own, where you select the add ons: cheese, bacon, onion, Canadian bacon, tomato etc. If you have to charge more for a certain add on, then do so. The mimosas & the billinis were good & everyone enjoyed their entrees. It did seem as though we waited a long time for our entrees & the restaurant was not crowded at all, on a Saturday morning. Everyone enjoyed themselves so I assume we would all gladly return. The fake wisteria hanging up on the way in, seemed rather silly. Wisteria seldom blooms, LOL, so that was a dead giveaway.

We spent a substantial amount of money on our wedding at Bedford Village Inn, and the experience…read morewas incredibly disappointing. The wedding itself eventually happened, but everything leading up to it was an absolute nightmare. Our bridal suite was supposed to be ready at 1:30 p.m., but I had requested numerous times that it be ready earlier because all of our suitcases and belongings were everywhere and we needed the room to get ready. Instead, we were repeatedly told the rooms were being cleaned, only to later find out that wasn't actually the case and that there were staffing issues. I spent my wedding morning running around trying to fix problems instead of enjoying getting ready with my family and bridal party. My maid of honor and junior bridesmaid were never given their bouquets and had to walk down the aisle without them. My dogs were also supposed to be brought to the side after the ceremony so I could take pictures with them. This was communicated multiple times beforehand and directly to the wedding coordinator that day. It never happened. My dog sitter was apparently told she could leave, and I completely missed out on photographs with my dogs that were extremely important to me. When I complained, the general manager tried to blame my dog sitter and claimed I never communicated the request. Completely unacceptable. The wedding coordinator was another major disappointment. Guests weren't properly informed when dessert was available, I wasn't kept informed about our bar tab, and I found myself dealing with details that I paid the venue to handle. What is almost worse than everything that happened is how management handled my complaints afterward. Instead of taking accountability, I received excuses and finger-pointing. It felt like the priority was defending their employees rather than acknowledging what happened to the customer who paid for the wedding. Things can go wrong at a wedding. That's life. But when multiple things go wrong and the response afterward is to deny, deflect, and blame someone else, that's a serious problem. I should have been enjoying one of the most important days of my life. Instead, I was stressed, running around, and dealing with problems that should never have been mine to handle. For the amount of money we spent, I expected far more professionalism, communication, and accountability.

The outside place to be married is in view of the road with heavy traffic noise and ashtrays around the grass. Their was one water fountain that was broken. There were no soap dispensers in the bathrooms, rather a few Softsoap pump soaps that they sell at Dollar Tree. Big rooms are available with little light and old carpets. I would not recommend holding an event here.

I picked up so many unique goodies, from beautiful jewelry and homemade bags to kitchenware, perfumes, fudge and jams. There was something for everyone's taste and style. The food trucks offering pizza, baked goods, and fudge counter added a delicious touch to the day. It was such a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoor booths & tents, including several venders inside. Just a heads-up- the vendors are only there until 3 PM! The center has two separate ballrooms with a beautiful entrance, providing plenty of inside space to walk around comfortably. It's a great place to explore all the vendors at your own pace and enjoy the day shopping for wonderful, handcrafted gifts. The spacious setup makes it easy to browse and relax, whether you're inside or outside. I can't wait to come back for another event.

Things I would fix: Leave the buffet station out longer. It seems like the food was bright out then packed up WAY faster than people could eat. The coffee station should be left out till the END. Was packed up an hour prior to end. People who were drinking (or working the wedding) all night should have the choice of coffee before they leave. **set up a small table of such for VENDORS. I saw vendors eating in the lobby because they had no place to eat or sit. Not cool.

We were so lucky to have Shannon and all of the other staff assisting us and having everything timed and ready to go. We are so blessed to have had our special day at the Barn at Bull Meadow and wouldn't have changed anything at all! Shannon was very responsive to emails back and forth from me, was very nice, and had a good personality. The closers were also awesome! I appreciate all the help and ceremony precession direction! Everything was well executed and we had a great time!

No reviews for this great venue yet?…read more A great place of moderate size, this place holds many local events including art shows, political forums, music and choral shows and plays from local theater companies so there is often cool public events going on here. It can also be rented, very affordably for weddings and parties. It's in an easy to find location right off of Exit 3 on 93 and has plenty of parking. You could fit 200 people between the two rooms quite easily, one drawback is the small kitchen and bathrooms downstairs, but you should certainly look at this awesome and historical building for your next event in the area. It will be hard to be disappointed.

We paid our ($12k) deposit in full, after immense stressors from the sales department. Once we signed the contract? They went dark. When I finally got someone on the phone (by the way, they don't do phone calls, so, there's that) Tom said "we're dealing with 12 other brides this month so we don't have time to show you around the property". He was snide, demeaning and rude. Do yourself a favor- do, under no circumstances, choose this venue. They are awful people who churn brides out like a factory. See the correspondences below. Once they get your money, they don't care. Not worth it.

At a recent wedding, just such a thing happened, and it was because of Keri's quick thinking and professionalism that this cake was saved. As we went to photograph the couple cutting their cake, everyone noticed that the 3-tier cake was tilting and sliding...... and someone needed to act fast. Keri calmly rushed in and literally held the cake up with her hands with just seconds to spare before it toppled. We successfully got our photos, and Keri quietly and confidently communicated with her staff exactly what was needed to move the cake and save it so it could be cut and enjoyed by the guests. Not only that, but the entire meal service was delicious and savored by all. The butternut squash ravioli with maple cream sauce and candied pecans was especially a favorite!
