Bear-y excited to recommend
Bear Mountain Inn Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From our first contact, their communication was thorough, prompt, and clear, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful--a thoughtful combination of modern and traditional elements that created a truly unique and memorable atmosphere for our celebration. The team (shoutout to Mellanie, Jessica and Andrea!) was always available when we needed something, and they were willing to problem-solve and work with us through any challenging decisions, which was especially important when working with multiple inputs/perspectives. We are so grateful to the Bear Mountain Inn Barn staff for helping to make our wedding day even better than we could have imagined it.
Phenomenal Experience All Around!
Take away the perfect June weather and this wedding was still everything we could have asked for, in large part due to the wonderful people at Bear Mountain Inn Barn. The grounds are beautiful and by staying Thu-Sun we had the opportunity to not only enjoy the stunning water backdrop during the ceremony, but also go swimming and kayaking in the downtime on Fri and Sat. The staff were consummate professionals who made us feel at home from check-in through check-out. And from a planning perspective, the venue was extremely easy to work with. My wife and I are busy professionals who knew we couldn't (and didn't want to) plan a wedding on our own, but we also have plenty of opinions. Bear Mountain Inn did a great job taking care of all the nitty gritty while still providing us an outlet to share our thoughts and capture our vision. We are so happy we had our wedding at Bear Mountain Inn and can't wait to come back for a weekend getaway.
Best wedding with THE BEST venue
My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of getting married at Bear Mountain Inn in September 2024, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms—truly treated like family by the incredible owners and staff. Their warmth, kindness, and attention to detail made our wedding weekend nothing short of magical. One of the things we loved most was being able to turn our wedding into a full weekend experience, allowing us to relax, soak in every moment, and celebrate with our closest family and friends. The inn itself is breathtaking—set against the stunning backdrop of nature, providing the perfect setting for both our ceremony and reception. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, catering to our every need with genuine care and professionalism. And the best part? We got to include our dogs in the festivities! This was so important to us, and Bear Mountain Inn made it so easy and special to have them be a part of our big day. If you are looking for a venue that is beautiful, welcoming, and filled with heart, Bear Mountain Inn is the place. We are forever grateful for the memories we made here and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue. Thank you to the entire Bear Mountain Inn team for making our wedding dreams come true!
Best Weekend Ever
I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else than the Bear Mountain Inn. It is a very magical place and the owners and employees made you feel like apart of the family. Everything is so clean and they make you feel really special the entire time! My close friends and family got to spend 3 full days with us as we celebrated the best weekend of our lives! I highly recommend this venue, 10/10!
