    I stayed here with my family for a ladies' weekend we had a wonderful time. Our basement…read moreaccommodations are had 2 bedrooms, a fold-out sofa, 1.5 baths, a kitchen, a living room, and a dining area. So much space! It smelled musty for only the first couple of seconds upon entering--then it was all good. The bedding was perfect; I wanted to take it home with me. The main floor was either preserved or restored with great care. The best thing may have been breakfast. The innkeeper was very accommodating of my vegetarianism; she asked follow-up questions to make sure I would happily eat my fill. Yogurt and grape nuts in shot glasses! Oreo pancakes! Halloween candy! Plenty of coffee and tea available. Highly recommended!

    I recently spent a night here with my sister and brother-in-law (May 2022). I had wanted to offer…read morethem an amazing New Harmony experience, like one I had had several years ago in a different B&B that has since closed. The owners of that one recommended AC Thomas House. It is indeed a beautiful property, from the spacious veranda and lovely, historically appointed rooms to the perfect downtown New Harmony location. But upon arrival, we learned that it is up for sale. The current owners were nowhere to be found - apparently one is ill and the other is engaged in other projects now. The owners left everything in the hands of one very part-time staff person (you have to call this person if you need anything - there's no one on site). Even under these conditions, with just minimal attention, our stay could have been much improved. For example, they could have put water bottles, tissues, and soap in the rooms (all of these staples were lacking). The breakfast was a big disappointment. The staff asked us in an email what we wanted for breakfast but then did not come through for two of the three people in our party. Minimally, real half-and-half for coffee is essential for any place offering breakfast (they had bought that horrible creamer at the Dollar Store even though we had indicated in the email that we would appreciate half & half). And a box of nice black tea is another essential for a place like this that was lacking. Again, the breakfast issue can be remedied easily enough. The staff person was very nice, and was helpful to the degree possible, but perhaps isn't being given the resources or direction to do these things? Also, there was a baby shower there the day we arrived, and some of that wasn't cleaned up, leaving traces (stray napkins, cups, decorations) in the common areas for the next 24 hours. That, too, can easily be remedied. The larger issue, which hopefully the new owners (when there are some) will attend to is the plumbing. Neither the toilet nor the shower in the Duchess Kate room worked (fortunately the staff person gave us keys to the adjoining room, empty that night, or we would not have had even a working toilet). The showers in all of our rooms need to be brought up to contemporary standards. Hopefully the new owners (when there are some) can remedy these issues and bring this place back to 5 stars, which it richly deserves, but right now, sadly, it is not. Also, not having an inn keeper (or even a more permanent staff person) onsite made it feel more like an airbnb than a Bed & Breakfast. Part of the pleasure of a stay in a place like this is being able to converse with the owners (which I was able to do in the previous place I had stayed).  I'm very disappointed as I had wanted to offer my guests a special weekend. It was still great being in New Harmony, and this place has all the potential to be amazing, and aesthetically it's an absolute treasure - but right now, sadly, I cannot recommend it. The current owners need to step up their game here or stop renting rooms.

    I worked with Events of Harmony (EOH) for my wedding in New Harmony, and it was a terrible…read moreexperience. They were extremely disorganized and poor at communication, and ultimately things did not come together as planned. It was my second wedding (his first) and we kept it small (50 people) and simple. EOH told me it was the simplest wedding they had done. We got tables, tablecloths, centerpieces, etc. along with set-up and tear-down. The disorganization and lack of communication became clear early on. After the initial consult, I was told I'd have an estimate in a couple of weeks, which turned into a month (and multiple phone calls as they kept promising a new date and then missing that). Then there were the scheduling problems. They scheduled an appointment for us to pick out specific centerpieces, etc., but wrote down the wrong day and were not available when we showed up (wasted 90-minute round trip). Rescheduled for the next week and they had to cancel due to family emergency. Rescheduled for the following week (less than 6 weeks away from our wedding date by then), and they mixed it up again, thought I was coming the next day, double-booked me with another bride, and weren't prepared. We met anyway. It was beyond frustrating to try to communicate with them after that. Their EOH email address actually stopped working (I noticed they also lost their website with the same domain). By the week before the wedding, I still didn't have a correct invoice so hadn't paid a deposit (they didn't seem to care, but I did), and they couldn't tell me which day they were going to set up. I was really starting to worry, told the owner that in text (nicely), to which she never responded. So I finally drove up there again, unannounced, to tie up the loose ends in person. I wanted to be there during the set-up, as I wasn't entirely sure about the layout, had some items of my own to add to the decor, and what bride doesn't want to be there if she can?! The venue would let us in any day that week. We didn't have a rehearsal the day before (Friday) because we had no bridal party, and we wanted to spend that time visiting with our out-of-town guests. So I asked for Thursday, and they said no problem. We showed up Thursday and they had just one person there, and just the tables and tablecloths (which she spent the next 2 hours ironing), and nothing else. We figured out quickly that there was not enough room for the layout they swore to us would work, and the venue coordinator helped us rearrange the tables and chairs. Since there was nothing else we could do until tablecloths were ready, we told the lady ironing them that we would grab some lunch and be back. Then she told us that they weren't going to do the rest of the set-up until the next day, they would just send us pictures. I was blown away, but held it in somehow. I left them the stuff I had brought, including 40 yards of beautiful burgundy lace trim to go around the plain white buffet tables. Friday afternoon they called to tell me that the venue wouldn't allow candles, which I had told them before but they insisted were ok if they were inside a container, so they'd have to use battery tealights instead in our centerpieces. Fine, but they were ugly and if we'd figured that out on Thursday I would have had time to find something better. Later that night they finally sent a couple of pics. The arch looked ok but a little different than planned, so I asked about it. She never responded. My husband showed up first on the the day of, and found the lace trim falling off the tables. The EOH lady said she was going back to the shop to get pins to help keep it in place, but never returned. I was supposed to have a vase for my bouquet, so I could set it down on a side table when we were on stage (no MOH to hold it), and use it in our centerpiece. They left us only the over-sized dirty vase it was delivered in. I texted the owner and she said she didn't know we needed a vase, thought I was just going to lay my bouquet down on the table. She was out of town and couldn't help us even though their shop was a block away. Same bouquet was wrapped so tight that the stems were breaking and I had to pull out several of the flowers that were flopping over. After the honeymoon, I contacted the owner and told her how stressful it was working with them and how disappointed I was in not being there for the set-up. She refused to acknowledge that there was anything wrong with they way they handled it, insisted they delivered exactly what they promised (untrue, and she didn't ask what went wrong), and told me that I was just an "anxious bride" type and it was my choice if I wanted to be upset about things. Um, it was my second wedding and much simpler than the first... I was actually pretty chill. She was shockingly insensitive. Long review, but this is catharsis for me and I don't want anyone else to go through unnecessary wedding stress. Look elsewhere for help with your New Harmony wedding!

    My now husband and I hired Events of Harmony to help us plan our wedding in New Harmony since we…read morelive very far away and wouldn't be able to be in town very much. In the beginning, we had really high hopes because our wedding coordinator seemed to be on the same page as us and started proposing many things to think about like tablescapes, flowers, and other decorations. She was enthusiastic and friendly. Our contract included unlimited phone calls and emails in addition to day-of coordination of events. I thought it would help my stress level tremendously. Unfortunately Events of Harmony was not the right service for us. Almost everything that we asked our coordinator to do was done late or not at all, communication proved to be very difficult throughout the entire planning process, and we were overall extremely disappointed by the lack of organization that we saw. Even on the day of our wedding, she forgot or couldn't find some of the details we had planned for. Overall, the planning service helped by putting out decorations and by cleaning up, for which we were charged a separate fee. Luckily, our wedding day was amazing, but it was not without a lot of stress on our behalf and a ton of work from both of our families. I would not recommend this service for planning a wedding.
