We had our wedding at The Barracks Inn last month (Labor Day 2022). What a beautiful venue, the view can't be beat, the reception/dinner room is beautiful, the food was wonderful. And the drinks were perfect! The owner was so accommodating with all of my quirky plans - never complained, listened to what we wanted and made it all happen. We are picky so this is really something. The sound system is great - really over the top from what you would normally expect. Dancing on the beautiful deck that sits out on the water was heaven. We could have danced until dawn. I heartily recommend this venue and Kim (the owner) as "the" place to have your wedding, anniversary party, birthday party, or just a party party! You will be very pleased with the whole process.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jackie and Danny Spano have created something special with the Rosemary at Spano Lake. I had the good fortune to get married at the Rosemary this May, and my husband and I are so grateful that the Rosemary will forever be part of our memory of our wedding day. It is objectively a beautiful place to get married with gorgeous vistas of the lake and the woods and flawlessly manicured grounds. It also feels intimate because you and your guests are truly welcomed into the Spanos' home. Jackie and Danny went above and beyond to ensure our guests were comfortable and happy on a day when the weather didn't fully cooperate by setting up the site, getting us heaters, doling out umbrellas, and working with us to host our ceremony in a window when the clouds parted. Even though they weren't coordinators for the event, the Spanos did everything they could to make sure we were getting the most out of our day. Aside from the remarkable couple running the Rosemary, this venue has so much more available for you than the average outdoor venue, including handmade harvest tables, a bridal suite, chairs for your guests, and a sailcloth tent. I couldn't recommend it enough.

The Cracker Factory was the perfect venue for our wedding day.

Their beautiful, industrial space provided the ideal backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The team worked closely with us to develop the perfect layout, ensuring the flow of the event went smoothly. On the day, the staff assisted with vendor entry and attended to countless details to keep everything running seamlessly. We were especially impressed by the stunning vines along the side of the building, which had turned a vibrant red color for the fall, adding to the already gorgeous ambiance.
