Beautiful
This venue is truly beautiful. We had our wedding here in April in the Barn. We worked with Krystel to plan our wedding and she did such an amazing job. She was on top of details and regularly checked in. She was accommodating, friendly, and professional. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be. The venue itself is gorgeous, and we got so many compliments on the food. The staff is wonderful and always willing to help. Highly recommend this venue, you will be in great hands. Bonus, all the walkways are covered, so even if it's raining, there's no need to worry.
Response from vendor•May 15, 2025Hi Christine, Congratulations! We are so happy to hear that you had such a lovely wedding experience with us. We agree, Krystel's attention to detail is second to none! We hope to see you and your husband back for many celebrations in the years to come. - Red Lion InnThank you Red Lion Inn!
It’s been one month since our wedding and every day I go back to how loved and supported I felt on the best day of my life. The Red Lion Inn played a massive role in that. My husband and I fell in love with the venue the second we stepped foot inside. From the historic inn, to the stunning barn, to the location right in the heart of quaint Cohasset, the Red Lion Inn is the wedding venue you dream about. It seems impossible that anything could out-do the beauty and charm of the venue, but the staff sets the bar even higher. From Krystel, to Andrew, to Nancy, to the MVP Toufiq, I have never felt more spoiled in my life. Every single person that interacted with me and my guests was kind, professional, and generous with their time. On top of the charm and the incredible team, the food is second to none. As a vegetarian, I have been to so many weddings where my meal is an afterthought. But not at Red Lion. Every single thing on the menu was absolutely delicious, including the vegetarian options. Beyond how delicious the food is, they accommodated every single guest and their dietary needs like the pros that they are. Red Lion is worth every penny. If you are lucky enough to be considering this venue, I encourage you to fully commit. We were taken care of like family from the first time we stepped foot in the venue, and it is because of them that our wedding day was the best day of our lives. We already cannot wait to go back and have dinner in the tavern just so we can feel the warmth of that incredible place once more.
Response from vendor•May 15, 2025Hi Sally, Congratulations! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We were honored to be a part of your special day. Providing exceptional experiences is our top priority, and your feedback motivates us to keep exceeding expectations. We hope to welcome you and your husband back for more celebrations in the years to come! - Red Lion InnKrystel, Tofique, & Andrew made my dream wedding!
The Red Lion Inn in Cohasset is truly a dream wedding venue. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the historic charm and breathtaking beauty of the property. The cozy warmth of the barn made for an unforgettable ceremony and reception—it felt intimate yet grand, with its rustic elegance setting the perfect tone for our celebration. One of the standout features is that it’s not just a venue, it’s a real, historic inn. We loved knowing we could return to this special place for anniversaries and relive our wedding day memories—a truly unique aspect we didn’t find at any other venue. The team at the Red Lion Inn was nothing short of incredible. They made us feel so cared for throughout the entire process. A highlight for me was when they quietly snuck me a plate of appetizers during cocktail hour so my husband and I could enjoy some delicious bites while taking portraits. It’s those thoughtful touches that made the day even more magical. I can’t recommend the Red Lion Inn enough—it’s a stunning, one-of-a-kind venue with a team that goes above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable.

We hope to see you and your husband back for many celebrations in the years to come. - Red Lion InnBride
My husband and I had our wedding at the Red Lion Inn in October and it was absolutely perfect. The staff was extremely attentive and took great care of us, the rooms were cozy, the food was delicious, and the venue itself is beautiful. Tofique (events Operations) and Krystel (wedding planner) were integral parts of ensuring our day ran smoothly. Our day could not have been better and we are grateful for the Red Lion Inn team for helping to make it so!
Response from vendor•Nov 5, 2024Hi Anna, Congratulations! We were so honored to be part of your special day and that your team ensured the day went seamlessly. We hope to see you and your husband back for many celebrations in the years to come. - Red Lion Inn
