1754 House Reviews
Our wedding ceremony and reception at 1754 House was everything and more that we wanted! We had our welcome dinner, ceremony, and reception there and from the first time we met with Cara (the manager) until we checked out the day after our wedding everything was amazing. Cara went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and was what we had envisioned. Choosing 1754 House for our wedding weekend was the best decision we could have made! We also loved our suite and the ability to stay at the inn for the weekend. We will definitely be returning for dinner and likely our anniversaries in the future. I really can't say enough good things about them!

Heads up: this is a RAVE review, you will find no gripes here! 1754 House knocked it out of the park. My husband and I (from the Boston area) were looking for a small-town venue that would help us put on an intimate wedding (final total was ~65 guests), and the result exceeded our wildest dreams for a wedding. For one, 1754 House bundles SO MANY different services under one roof! If you are a looking for a venue that will cross off half a dozen vendors just by choosing them, consider this: 1754 House has an inn upstairs where our immediate families and close friends posted up for the weekend and got ready (these include multiple suites), managed by Cara; the cuisine is TOP of the line with Chefs Michael and David and everything they produce is a unique crowd pleaser; we did not hire a wedding planner, but Events Manager Brittany made it feel like we did, acting as our anchor, overseer of all dream plans, ceremony director, and the glue that held everything together throughout over a year of planning; AND we hosted our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception at 1754 House and had the option of choosing from three different dining spaces (a fourth event-specific space is in the works in the carriage house too).The whole staff fielded a number of curveballs with elegance, including an all-vegetarian wedding, pierogi as a late addition to the menu, a Ukrainian dessert shipped to them from across the country and expertly assembled onsite, and some pretty wild requests related to our decor (it was a library themed wedding so there was an obscene number of books to wrangle). The space itself is phenomenal, including outdoor spots for the ceremony, rooms that feel intimate with warm lighting and antique details, centuries-old wooden beams and fireplaces boasting years of character, and modern touches such as funky lighting pieces and super comfy dining chairs. The weekend of the wedding, we dropped all of our decor off, and like magic, it was all assembled exactly as we imagined with hours to spare. I know this is a long review! But I also want to give a shout out to the serving and bar staff, who are all super experienced and gracious and kind-hearted; we felt very well taken care of and always felt like we were on track. Same for the inn staff (some of whom straddle both inn and restaurant operations), including the manager, hosts, and housekeeping: they helped us make reservations, keep things looking sharp, deliver welcome bags to guests, and keep everyone fed each morning with muffins, oatmeal, fruit, coffee/tea, and other bed & breakfast type fixings. I could go on for days, but to summarize: 1754 House made our experience the best ever, and in general Woodbury is a beautiful community to spend a weekend. We live two and a half hours away and can’t wait to visit again soon! It’s worth the trip every time!

Our reception at 1754 House was incredible and better than anything we could have hoped for. Brittany and her team were outstanding and went above and beyond to make our reception and stay an awesome experience. Chef Michael made the most incredible food and even made sure to accommodate the dietary restrictions we had. From the beginning of planning to the night of the reception, 1754 House's event manager, Brittany, was on top of every detail and knew exactly what we needed to make the night perfect. Cara, the inn manager, made sure our family's stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed while we were there. Overall, we could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding reception. My husband and I cannot wait to return for anniversaries and celebrations in the future!

Can't say enough good things about the 1754 House. They were able to make a small wedding happen with only three weeks notice. From appetizers to dessert, the food at the 1754 House was beyond delicious. The added bonus was the event planner, Brittany. She was so accommodating and calm - exactly what was needed. Charming country inn recently renovated. I would not hesitate to chose this as your event venue. Bonus - they are restoring the carriage house into a venue for larger events.
