My husband Anthony and I worked closely with Donna over the last two years to plan our wedding. She was always so responsive, and easy to work with. An email would always be answered almost immediately, or followed up with a phone call to clarify a question. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous, and we got the perfect fall wedding we dreamed about. Could not have been happier with the quality and taste of the wedding reception food as well; the English cut sirloin was especially delicious, as were the mini mozzarella sticks and the pesto meatballs from the passed appetizers. The staff were incredibly friendly, with Martha and Haley both being fabulous point people on the day of. Thank you a million times over, Salem Cross Inn, and we can’t wait to see you next year for our anniversary!!! Reviewed on 24-10-2023

We were married 39 years ago on the grounds of the Salem Cross Inn, West Brookfield, MAIt was run by the Salem family and still is operated by Nancy Salem. She did a great job for us. We were treated like family! Every accommodation we requested was handled!Including a room for me and my bridesmaids to get ready in before the ceremony. A fall wedding here is just what we wanted! The beautiful scenery only added to the atmosphere of an old New England inn. The food was oh so good! They even took extra steps to make everything served a little more special. I remember choosing the baked potato and butternut squash to accompany the fireside roasted prime rib. They offered, notice I didn’t have to ask, to make the potatoes skins seasoned and the butternut squash more spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Everything was delicious and the wedding party was offered more of any of the meal items they wanted. No one left hungry! The morning of our wedding was a cold one, unusually so for early October. We were married outside under a huge oak tree, they now have a gazebo for ceremonies with the rolling hills in the background. Our elderly family members needed to stay warm, but still see the ceremony so Nancy made them comfortable at the window just inside. It was a magical day, and last night we had dinner there to celebrate our anniversary. We saw Nancy who is still making her guests happy with attention to detail! The wedding happening there last night sounded like a great time! Don’t hesitate to check this venue out for your special day! Reviewed on 07-10-2023

My husband and I got married at the Salem Cross Inn in June 2023 and we had a great experience! Donna and Nancy were extremely attentive and helpful with the planning process. We had several phone calls and in-person meetings with them leading up to the day and they always made time for us. I loved being able to get ready in the bridal suite, it was a perfect space to relax and get ready with my bridesmaids before the ceremony. It ended up raining on our wedding day so we got to utilize the downstairs area and it was so cozy with the fire going and the lights on the ceiling. Our guests loved the food - we have received several compliments about the strawberry shortcake and the prime rib. We loved the vibe of the venue and the quality of the experience. I highly recommend the Salem Cross Inn for any event, it is a wonderful backdrop for photos! Reviewed on 14-09-2023

Sara Smith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2022 Our experience with the Salem Cross Inn was fantastic, right from the very beginning. From the moment we contacted Donna and Nancy, part of the family who owns the farm, restaurant and venue, we knew that we were in good hands. Both of them made the planning process extremely easy and stress-free, and we only had to make the fun decisions like what food we would serve and the timeframe for our event. Our specific event was unique because my husband was deployed unexpectedly and we had to cancel our planned date. Both Nancy and Donna were very understanding and accommodating and helped us to reschedule the following year once he returned home. In the days and weeks leading up to the event, the barn where we were holding the event, was severely damaged from a vehicle accident. Nancy and Donna contacted us right away and let us know they were going to make it right. Our reception was held in the dining room with dancing down in the tavern, and it was absolutely perfect. The food was outstanding, and the service was even better. The venue has stunning views overlooking a picturesque farm and made our day extra special.

Nicole LaCroix(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-09-2022 What a beautiful venue with a staff that truly goes above an beyond to make your wedding day PERFECT. From the day that we first started planning our wedding, Nancy and Donna were so helpful and supportive. They embraced some of our crazy ideas (like having our dog in our wedding ceremony), they made sure every aspect of our wedding was covered (even providing us with a great preferred vendor list), and they were quick to respond EVERY TIME! Even despite a rough start to the morning for both our wedding party and the venue (a car running straight through the barn doors of the venue) didn't slow them down. They quickly moved our table seating arrangement into the main restaurant, and shut down their additional business just so we had the space to host our wedding. If that doesn't speak volumes of their flexibility and kindness, I don't know what does! I only wish that I had the ability to rate this venue above 5 stars, because they truly deserve it. There is no surprise that the Salem Cross Inn continues to be ranked as a top Knot venue. Consider planning your wedding with the Salem Cross Inn, I promise it will not disappoint.

The detail and attention when booking our special day was just the beginning and continued throughout the months leading up to and extended after our reception. A preferred vendor list was provided by Salem Cross Inn that provided the names for all wedding related services. This was extremely helpful and we hired all from this list. Donna, Nancy and Heather’s expertise, professionalism and attention to detail was a tremendous asset. We could not have done this without them. Our ceremony was on the grounds, which are picture perfect. After the ceremony we remained outside where there were incredible opportunities for pictures with many beautiful backdrops. Our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour and remained close by for picture opportunities with us. Our dinner was in the barn room and was perfect. The room is decorated so beautifully that only a few of my own personalized touches were added. The food was amazing. My husband and I ate every bite! The cake was as beautiful as it was delicious. My cake topper was too heavy and slid off the top. Donna quickly stepped in and repaired the cake by adding flowers to the top and it looked more elegant than if the topper I provided had worked. The staff was attentive and provided top notch service. They were kind and accommodating to all of us throughout the night. Every step of the night was flawless!

From the exquisite flowers all over the property to the gardens (where much of the restaurant food is grown, by the way) to the patio area - the grounds are beautifully manicured. Inside, the restaurant and tavern are cozy and inviting and the food deserves a glowing review all on its own. Yes, it's that good. And it keeps getting better: the team at Salem Cross really does make you feel like family. From the moment my husband and I met with Donna, it was easy to see how much love and care Salem Cross puts into the wedding planning process. Donna wanted to hear our story - she wanted to know about our lives, our families, and what we envisioned for our special day. Here's where it got real: The COVID-19 pandemic began about three months before our wedding day and as you can just imagine, hello PANIC. But Donna didn't panic, despite the fact that she probably had to work with many, many other couples to plan for a completely uncertain future. In fact, she helped me stay grounded and reminded me that we were in it together. I can't even keep track of all the phone calls Donna and I exchanged. I can tell you that we started to trade baking recipes though, so that should give you an idea. Salem Cross was so incredibly flexible as we worked our way through the pandemic and the time leading up to our wedding date. I can not imagine a more supportive team of people. When we found out we would be unable to have our wedding as originally planned (roughly 115 guests), Nancy and Donna allowed us to use the grounds for an intimate ceremony of fewer than ten people on our original date, June 6 and were completely accommodating with all other parts of planning. My husband and I just cannot say enough about this wonderful venue. We will continue to recommend Salem Cross to everyone planning a wedding from now until the end of time. Reviewed on 18-08-2020

Mike SP(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2019 My husband and I were having a Western (cowboy) themed wedding (line dance instruction and all) in the fall and were seeking a venue with a barn that served excellent food. We were fortunate enough to have stumbled upon The Salem Cross Inn through a friend’s recommendation and once we saw the pictures online and the wedding menus, we knew we had to check out the place. We were particularly excited about their prime rib as an option for our wedding guests as it is roasted in an antique fire pit. From day one, we were highly impressed with Nancy’s organization, efficiency and honesty. She explained all of the options clearly, showed us each part of Salem Cross and what they offered, explained the menus, and gave us a pricing quote based on our expected number of guests (approx. 130 guests). Donna, their gifted baker, was also able to meet our needs for a custom cake (Grand Marnier-laced cake with chocolate ganache). Despite all these custom offerings, when we saw the cost estimate we were shocked….at how affordable it was for such a lovely venue and for all of the choices we had available for our menu.From the time we confirmed our wedding spot, throughout the next 18 months, both Nancy and Donna were very communicative and helpful. Both were attentive to phone calls and emails. Donna even baked us a sample of our cake for us to try (which was so good words could not describe it). We had no surprises at all throughout the process and found both Nancy and Donna exceptionally easy to work with. Nancy suggested many options that helped smooth out the execution of the wedding, especially the day of, which alleviated a lot of the stresses leading up to a wedding (Listen to Nancy – she knows what she’s doing!) The venue had all of the available hookups needed for us to have our ceremony outside with a DJ and videographer, and to have our reception nestled wonderfully inside the rustic barn. The day of, The Salem Cross could not possibly have been more professional and attentive to our and our guests’ needs. We even had a member of their staff dedicated to our wedding in case we needed anything. Our goal was for the food and cake to be the stars of the show, so we put the bulk of our budget to that. The Salem Cross did not disappoint – our guests (and us) raved about how good the food was – appetizers, main meals, and even the bread. Many also raved that our custom wedding cake was the best wedding cake they ever had (many of our friends are foodies, so to hear those kinds of compliments meant a lot to us as that was what we were trying to achieve). Our guests (and we) also raved and how well their staff decorated the barn and tables with the decorations we brought to the venue. To further highlight Nancy’s and Donna’s dedication and professionalism, both came back to check on us during our wedding on a Sunday evening. My husband and I are very particular and picky people. With that in mind, we both firmly believe that our wedding at The Salem Cross Inn was nothing short than perfect. We talked about our wedding for weeks afterwards, still marveling at how humbling the entire event was. We will still be talking about it for years to come. The Salem Cross was the backbone for this unforgettable experience. We cannot thank them enough for the experience they helped us create, and for the memories that will last a lifetime.

The whole wedding was so unique and special to us and Donna and a Nancy made sure everything went perfectly. Reviewed on 05-11-2019

Not only were the grounds rustic and gorgeous the historic and timeless restaurant and barn reception area were perfect. We could not have picked a better place to get married. Nancy and Donna walked us through every detail and put our worries to rest even with an out of the blue nor'easter that landed on our wedding day.

Kaite Pickard(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2019 My husband and I got married at the Salem Cross Inn this past Sunday. Donna was the coordinator we worked with directly. We had a very small wedding (25 guests) and had the ceremony and lunch here. Donna was great, very accommodating and the grounds are beautiful if you are looking for that rustic farm feel. The site sits in front of rolling hills that are the perfect backdrop for pictures. There were hay bales and cows as well. Donna was able to help me put together the perfect small, intimate wedding and was able to accommodate just about everything we needed! Food was delicious! 23 out of the 25 guests ordered the prime rib that was mouthwatering and delicious! It was cooked perfectly and came with mashed potatoes and butternut squash. I highly recommend going through Donna at the Salem Cross Inn whether you are having a small intimate wedding or a large wedding! Reviewed on 24-10-2019
Stephanie Marchetta-Wood(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2018 My Husband and I were married at the Salem Cross last October and would recommend it to any couple looking for rustic charm at an affordable price point. The landscape is beautiful and the property stays true to its colonial heritage, maintaining charming candelabras, original woodwork and a collection of quirky odds and ends from the time period. There is no way on earth your guests will leave hungry because the food is plentiful and served throughout the event. A big fan favorite was the roast beef which is cooked over a spit in the downstairs fireplace during cocktail hour. Guest remarked on how unique and interactive the cooking experience was. Everyone I spoke to mentioned how much they enjoyed the food.Another major selling point is the caring staff. Donna, our wedding coordinator was great to work with. She made us feel welcome and supported. Salem Cross is a family business and you can tell! The staff take pride in their work and make sure you leave happy. They also provide each couple with a list of vendor recommendations for music, flowers, transportation etc. This was a huge help to me, as I was not familiar with the area and needed some direction for organizing the big day.

Cori Foley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2019 We are extremely pleased with our wedding. The day of the wedding was stress free for us. Our guests had a blast. The food was delicious with multiple helpings of the Roast. I think the wedding party polished off all the pesto meatballs ourselves. We would recommend Salem Cross in a second. Before writing this review we read some of the other reviews and can see many of the same points. We would recommend sitting down early with Nancy or Donna before you have anything else planned. They have a list of vendors and recommend some off the list. We used the violinist. We also used the Florist Barry from their list, who was absolutely amazing and worked to our budget. Many of the flowers came from their own grounds. We were nervous at first using the vendor list but were extremely pleased with them. This is an extremely nice place and we can see why so many people try to have their wedding there. We are understanding of the time frame constraints mentioned in some of the other reviews as we wouldn't want to or want anyone's wedding to interfere with ours. That being said, we felt the entire staff's attention was dedicated to our wedding while we were there. Any requests we had were addressed immediately. Any questions we had during the planning phase, that were answered in a way we were a little bit concerned about actually worked out perfect and Nancy's recommendation was spot on. We have nothing but good things to say about our wedding at the Salem Cross Inn. We would definitely recommend them. Also be open minded about the Vendor list, it worked out great of us. Also the Wedding \"cupcake\" idea was perfect. Reviewed on 11-10-2019
Jessica Betancur(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-09-2019 Where do we even BEGIN. Oh my goodness. My husband and I had an absolute DREAM wedding. It was even better than our imagination could take us. All of our guests where blown away by the beauty of the venue and how delicious the food was and the GORGEOUS gorgeous flowers (we hired Barry, the recommended florist).I seriously had in my mind that we would have a super simple, bare-bones wedding and had adjusted my expectations because we were paying for the wedding ourselves. I have extremely high health expenses so our budget was limited. When I walked down the aisle and walked into the venue for the first time my jaw hit the floor. We saw the venue during the tour and we saw pictures of prior weddings. Let me tell you - NONE of that does this place any justice.In terms of planning, everything went pretty smoothly. Every single one of our vendors was incredible. I mean - worship the ground they walk on - incredible. We need to talk about Barry for a second. Both my husband and I are obsessed with him - my husband probably even more so and he's a guy's guy, motorcycle-riding, a bit rough around the edges kind of guy. My husband was like \"we NEED to have more flowers\" to which I rolled my eyes and said okay (he can be a bit \"extra\"). Oh my goodness - that was the best decision EVER. Barry is a one of a kind. I've been to many weddings and our wedding flowers were HANDS DOWN NO CONTEST the BEST flowers I've seen in my whole entire life. And he is BEYOND reasonable. If I could just hire him for every single event for the rest of my life I would. The food was and is SO FREAKING GOOD. We had the Prime Rib and Maple Jack Chicken. Everyone - and I really mean almost everyone - was eating off of each others plates just because they wanted to try every dish Salem Cross made. The charm of this place right down to the antique dishes and silverware is astonishing. Nancy and Donna are super organized and definitely have it together. My questions were unorganized and we had family members trying to change some things and they didn't even bat an eye. We felt like we were in good hands the whole entire time. It's such a cliche but our wedding really was the best day of our lives, to have all of our family and friends together in such a beautiful place.

Catherine Lamoureux(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-05-2019 We had the wedding of our dreams this past May. Salem Cross Inn was perfect for us. It is truly a unique and beautiful place. We easily stayed within our budget and all the planning went smoothly with Donna and Nancy. They were a pleasure to work with, always helpful and communication was easy. They also provided a list of vendors which was very helpful. (From their list we used Green Thumb Florist, Paula- ceremony coordinator, & McCarthy Bus). From start to finish everything was fantastic. We held our rehearsal dinner there the night before. We used the beautiful bridal room with my mom and bridesmaids before the wedding to relax and enjoy a cheese plate and champagne. The ceremony outside at the gazebo was perfect. There was an electrical outlet available for our pianist during the ceremony. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the patio and we were able to use our own speaker and playlist. The reception in the barn was an amazing evening. My decorations were very minimal, just some wildflowers in small vases on the tables. It doesn't need much, it's already beautiful in there with the strung lights and antique decor. Food was great. We wanted cupcakes instead of a cake and they were delicious! The barn had ample space for our 8 piece band. We have so many amazing photos especially of the beautiful backdrop outside and the rolling hills. I still have guests complimenting on how much they loved Salem Cross and everyone had a wonderful time. The experience felt intimate and special, which was very important to us. I also want to mention Martha, our host for the evening, she was warm and welcoming to all our guests.

Brianna Lertora(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-11-2018 My husband and I were married here in November 2018 and it was truly our dream wedding! My bridesmaids, flower girl, mother, mother-in-law, aunt, grandmother, and I all got dressed and had our hair and make up done upstairs in the bridal suite, and my husband and his groomsmen and our dads had another room upstairs where they could get dressed. It was big enough to accommodate getting ready, having lunch, and shooting our first look photos, and the space was beautifully decorated for Christmas, which we loved. We both loved the historic New England feel of the space, it's beautiful and cozy all on its own. We planned an indoor wedding in front of the fireplace, which we requested be lit, and Donna and Nancy accommodated our wishes. It felt so intimate and warm with the glow of the fire, even with 150 guests. They recommended Paula Roberts to coordinate the ceremony, and we hired her last minute - thank God! She did an amazing job and helped organize the last minute chaos that inevitably arises during rehearsal and getting everyone in place. She even stopped me right before I walked down the aisle to make sure my train and veil were perfect. Martha was there to coordinate the reception and did an amazing job making sure all of our vendors were in communication and the night flowed smoothly. We chose the apple pie for dessert and my husband and I were able to scoop the whipped cream for our guests - a memorable touch and a great way to see all of our guests! We've gotten so many compliments on that. Martha advised a few changes to our schedule when we were running a bit behind, and it helped keep the energy going through dinner and dancing. The whole day and night were truly magical, and we can't wait to go back and relive the memories we made there in the coming years! Thank you to the entire Salem Cross Inn staff!

They did an amazing job with the food and desserts and offered our guests seconds. The bridal room was the perfect space to get ready in and the staff was helpful and kind. The only complaints I have are that the bridal room was not clean and ready at the time that they put in our contact and we were not let into the building at the time started in our contact. They did though, let us keep our things in the main office until the next day when we could come pick them up and they also allowed me to keep my dog who was in my wedding in the office while my reception was happening.

There was a chance of rain on our day which could make any bride very testy and they were so kind and supportive throughout. Thank you Nancy and Donna! Nick and I wouldn’t change a thing.

whitney Peruzzi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2017 It only took one visit for Salem Cross Inn to become my dream wedding venue! Me and my wife were married early October of this year. Most of our wedding guests commented that it was the most fun wedding they had been to! The ceremony was beautiful, outside at the gazebo, and the landscape and garden made for beautiful photos. The food and cake were amazing, and we had so much fun serving the delicious apple pie to our guests! We couldn’t have asked for better hosts than Nancy and Donna, who granted all of our requests along the way, and who made the wedding weekend run smoothly. We highly recommend Salem Cross Inn for your ceremony and reception! Reviewed on 12-11-2017
Sarah Brill(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2017 Wow! I had my dream wedding here at the Salem Cross Inn. I cannot even express how happy my husband and I are with the Salem Cross Inn. From our first visit at the venue to our wedding day everything has been perfect, easy, and fun. First of all the venue is absolutely breathtaking, from the rolling hills and beautiful tree line to the rustic historical barn, everything you could ever want is here. The Salem Cross Inn is always very well kept and keeps the history of this property alive, and you can really see how much the staff truly love this venue. Second, Donna and Nancy are absolutely the best people in the world, they know EVERYTHING about weddings. They are always available to answer any questions you have and are happy to answer them and help, trust me I called them many many times and every single time I spoke with them I got a clear answer and a smile on my face. Nancy and Donna will do everything in their power to make sure your day is perfect and just how you want it, they are very open to ideas and will always accommodate if able. They give you clear guidelines on how to do certain things which really helps take some stress away from planning. The great thing is that on many of my other venue tours I just felt like \"another bride\ Reviewed on 02-11-2017
Stephanie Osborn(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-09-2017 We had the most perfect wedding at Salem Cross Inn on September 8, 2017. From the moment we got engaged, we knew we wanted a barn wedding, and Salem Cross was the one and only venue we looked at. From the very beginning Nancy and Donna had taken care of every detail for us, working with us every step of the way. The day of rehearsal, they were there to make sure the room would be set up the next day we way I had always envisioned it, with a glass on wine for me in hand to calm my nerves, Our wedding day went off without a hitch and I would recommend this venue to anyone to have their dream wedding come true.

My husband and I went to one of their holiday feasts and instantly fell in love with this venue! The Venue (inside and out) is beautifully picturesque.

Leah Dahlin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-10-2016 My husband and I were married at Salem Cross Inn on October 29th of last year. The rustic charm of the venue is authentic and beautiful. We had such an amazing experience working with Nancy. Donna, and the rest of the staff from beginning to end. We always felt that we were important and that they wanted our day to be very special. They were always available to answer questions, and also give suggestions to make sure the day ran smoothly. They truly have weddings down to a science and everything was perfect due to their knowledge and experience of what flows the best. We felt that they were very accommodating, allowing us a week beforehand to independently walk the building and grounds with our minister to work out some final details. They also were flexible with the time of our night wedding ceremony due to it getting darker in October.. we didn't to get married out in the dark. The food at Salem Cross Inn is delicious, superior to any wedding food that I have ever had. We had the chicken ritchie and the prime rib with seconds. The guests really enjoyed watching the meat cook over the open fire during cocktail hour, it added to the rustic charm of our wedding. There were even some menu items that I wanted to change, and they were right there to create a custom menu to meet our needs. We wanted to do an Irish Coffee after dinner with some cookies, and they had never done it before, but were quick to say 'we can do that'. We were impressed with how fair the pricing was for the whole event, but specifically the open bar. We were charged an estimate of what each person would consume through the night, and within the week after the wedding, my parents were sent a check back for the remaining amount from the bar tab that we did not use. Money was not exchanged on the day of the event either way. They said they did not want us to worry about it during such a special time. Overall, I cannot stress enough how their professionalism and courtesy sticks with us still as we reminisce about our wedding day. We were so happy with how it all turned out. So many of our 175 guests still tell us to this day that it was the best wedding that they ever attended. Salem Cross Inn now has such a special place in our hearts and we enjoy returning frequently for lunch throughout the year, and dining events such as the Deck the Halls (wreath making) at Christmas and the Fireplace Feast during the winter. We are excited to celebrate our first anniversary at Salem Cross at the end of the month! Reviewed on 08-10-2017

Caleigh Ross(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-06-2017 We first heard about the Salem Cross Inn from my then future mother-in-law, and we happened to pass by it while driving a few days later. We saw the chairs lined up for a wedding that must have been the night before, and seeing everything set up totally sold us! I fell in love with the picturesque property on the spot, and when we met Donna and Nancy, we felt even more confident! We bonded immediately over our shared love of JFK, and they are absolute pros, with a world of expertise about all the little details that made every aspect of our wedding run smoothly! They checked in with us periodically to finalize details, and they were so patient and gracious when my mum and I would stop in occasionally to ask questions and get clarification on different things! Their knowledge and input was invaluable, the ceremony and reception ran like a dream, and the food was incredible! They took care of lovely little details, from seating the parents with optimal views during the reception, to going over all the little reception accessories we brought so they'd be in the perfect spot, to sending the passed hors d'oevres to the bridal party while we were taking photos, to making sure the little frames at the cocktail tables were moved in and displayed around the barn for the reception! I just found out that they saved the top layer of our cake for us to enjoy on our first anniversary! We were so happy with our experience at the Salem Cross Inn, and we've heard all kinds of rave reviews from all of our guests about the excellent pacing of the event, the great service, and the delicious food! Would definitely recommend to other couples again and again! Reviewed on 19-08-2017

The venue and scenery were beautiful and rustic just like what we were looking for. This venue is also very reasonably priced. We had around 160 people attend and there was plenty of room for dancing and socializing. Planning the wedding and everything the day of the wedding went so smoothly that I was actually very calm and not at all stressed which was definitely due to all the help Nancy, Donna, and everyone at the Inn gave us. The food and service could not have been better and we are so happy with how our day came out. Everyone had such a great time! We would definitely recommend this venue! Reviewed on 02-08-2017

Ashley Blom(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-07-2017 This place was my perfect venue. Not only did it have the picturesque rustic setting I loved, but the colonial look and feel made my husband happy--as his family is made up of Revolutionary War Reenactors. The setting is perfect, the staff is great, and the FOOD! Oh. My. Goodness. I am a food blogger and cook book author, so I knew the food would be expected to be better than most at my wedding, and I must say it was exceptional. The prime rib was perfect (au jus available upon request), and the chicken roulade I'm told was just as good. The potatoes blew everyone away and the veggies were fresh and delicious. My guests even had good things to say about the bread rolls!We have only the most minor of criticisms and nothing worth losing a star. Some of the costs surprised us (cake cutting fee was a bit higher than we were quoted, and we opted not to do water in the outdoor venue because of a $2/person estimated cost, and decided to have our cocktail hour inside to avoid a $250 bar fee to have drinks outside), but overall the staff was helpful and detailed with the process. The day of the event, despite being told we wouldn't have anyone from the Inn to help us, a host was actually on site and extremely helpful in making sure everything went smoothly.I would say so long as you make sure all the costs are on the table early, and you confirm exactly what help will be offered the day off, you'll be great! Our day was perfect and we will return to Salem Cross for dinner and to relive our memories the next time we're in the area! Reviewed on 27-07-2017
Rebecca Donaghue(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-07-2016 The Salem Cross Inn was a magical wedding venue. The sweeping views, gorgeous gardens, historic buildings, and beautiful gazebo made for the most perfect ceremony. We chose to have our reception in the barn which was a huge selling point for us because of its rustic yet very romantic charm. The twinkle lights strung throughout the barn, all the antique detail, and the cozy loft, made for the wedding I had always dreamt of. The food was perfect as well. It was homemade and fresh with the steak being some of the best we'd ever had. We also had our rehearsal dinner at Salem's restaurant. We really loved the ambiance of the Peregrine room and the food was delicious as usual. The Salem Cross Inn is such a special place and we couldn't be happier to have chosen it for our special day.
