Reviews Alex, our incredible wedding coordinator, Seamus and I have YOU to thank for making our wedding the best day of our lives! Stroudsmoor Country Inn was our chosen venue for multiple reasons, but my main reason was because of Alex. From the first time I met Alex, she was confident, helpful, kind, transparent, dedicated, and responsive. She made the entire planning process stress free and easy. On the day of the wedding, she worked her magic! I knew the day would be overwhelming but she handled all the vendors, moving parts, and last minute changes like a true professional. I trusted her fully from the first day and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. I didn’t have to worry about anything which was such a relief because wow it was a lot happening at once! Alex loves her job and has a passion and incredible skill for wedding planning. I have been recommending her to every newly engaged couple! Alex, you made our dreams a reality. Thank you. Stroudsmoor Country Inn was just beautiful. We chose Lawnhaven and it was the best decision we could have made. Our flowers and set up was more beautiful than I had even envisioned! Having our room, hair and make up, pictures, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one place made the day go so smoothly without worrying about traveling time. We looked at about 5 venues before Stroudsmoor, and we were on the edge of deciding to not do a wedding because of the cost. The prices were so reasonable for everything included and the payment was spread out over a few months so it wasn’t overwhelming. Thank you to Alex, all the kind and helpful staff, vendors, and everyone at Stroudsmoor. The best venue I could have asked for!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding experience than the one we had at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem. From the moment we started planning, the communication was exceptional. The staff was incredibly responsive, answering every question we had and ensuring we were fully prepared for the big day. Emilie, our wedding coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with. She was organized, calm, and truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless. She made us feel like we were her top priority, and thanks to her, everything ran perfectly without a single hitch. The venue itself is stunning, especially with the winter decorations that created a magical atmosphere. From the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony, reception, and even the send-off brunch, every detail was taken care of. Once we handed over our decorations to the hotel staff, they completely brought our vision to life and transitioned flawlessly between the ceremony and reception spaces. The food was another highlight! Our guests loved the variety of options at the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, and reception. The ice cream station during the reception was a huge hit—such a fun and delicious touch that had everyone talking. The accommodations for our guests were top-notch, with many of them praising the comfort and convenience of staying at the hotel. And the private cocktail hour for us, the bride and groom, was such a thoughtful and special touch that we’ll always remember. On the wedding day itself, the maître d’ was outstanding. They made sure we were well taken care of, guiding us through the day with ease and ensuring that we could truly enjoy every moment. Overall, the Historic Hotel Bethlehem provided the perfect setting for our wedding weekend. Every aspect—from the rehearsal to the ceremony to the reception and beyond—was flawless, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. If you’re looking for a venue where you and your guests will be treated with the utmost care and professionalism, we highly recommend this amazing venue!

I have been performing weddings at Sayre Mansion since the 1990s. No matter the season or the couple, the weddings at Sayre are lovely, the couples well attended to by the staff and the facility, a graceful step back in time. Flowers, lawns, trees overlook Historic Bethlehem and beautifully decorated rooms make for a picturesque backdrop for photos, ceremonies and family reunions. The staff attends to whatever needs arise. The dining room is beautifully decorated with elegantly dressed tables. The food is outstanding. I highly recommend Sayre Mansion for weddings and vow renewals.
