“A Wonderful Weddig Experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2008

Our daughter, Kelly and her husband, David, were married at the B & B's Country Garden Inn in May of 2007 and we can't say enough about what a wonderful experience this was. We looked at a number of venues includig other B & Bs ,and the minute we pulled up to the B & B's Country Garden Inn we knew this was "it". The grounds are beautiful and the Inn itself was comfortable and warm and traveling from MA , we immediately felt "at home". The rooms were large and bright and we enjoyed reading the messages left on the walls of the upstairs hallway where guests are encouraged to "sign the wall" before checking out. A hearty homemade breakfast is prepared by Beth, the Inn owner, whose friendliness and warmth makes you feel that you have known her for years and is served in the sunroon overlooking the grounds. We rented the Inn for the whole weekend of the wedding (whcih we stongly recommend if possible) and worked very closely with the B & B's event coordinator, Sarah, who took care of every last detail but who was flexible enough to allow changes/or additions of personal touches to insure that this was the couple's dream wedding. The ceremony was held on the deck overlooking the pond, and the wedding photos are incredible. Most of the guests had traveled a great distance to attend the wedding, and the comments from them were wonderful...many said it was the nicest wedding they had attended....largely due to the beautiful yet comfortable surroundings. Even the muscians who played the harp and flute during the ceremony (and who, by their own admission, had performed at many a "highend" wedding) thought the setting was beautiful. The food, prepared and served by Sarah and her staff, was excellent....served buffet style, it was hot and tasted great. We were allowed to serve beer and wine (which we provided ourselves). We were told at the time of booking that we would need to stop the outside music at 10pm because we were in a residential neighborhood, however we had plenty of time to dance and party and accomplish the traditional wedding events, and we moved inside at the end of the evening for coffee and conversation. It was an amazing day and we would definately recommend the B & B's Country Garden Inn....it is truly is a "home away from home.

Had our wedding reception here & stayed overnight. Weeks in advance, we asked the owner, "How long can we have the reception?" to which she responded we could have it as long as we wanted because it's the "saddest thing in the world" to cut someone's wedding reception short. Well surprise, at 9pm the night of the reception, while dancing outdoors, the owner informed my mother that we had to turn off the music due to an Apex noise ordinance. We later found out from Apex police there is no such ordinance. When we asked to move the dancing inside the inn, the owner told an elaborate story of how a honeymooning couple had been dropped off, checked in, and they immediately went upstairs to their room. Of course this sounded fishy; why would a honeymooning couple be dropped off at an inn in the middle of nowhere while a wedding reception was going on? We found out later there was no such couple, but the owner planned ahead with her story and had even put a "do not disturb" sign on the "couple's" door. We should've been told upfront, when we initially asked, that we could have the reception until 9pm instead of being manipulated by such unethical tactics. We could've planned things better. It still doesn't make sense to us. It was embarrassing to skip over many planned songs and suddenly announce that we had to play our last song. Our guests (and we) were shortchanged. They traveled from across the country to be with us, and our time with them was awkwardly cut short. I want to warn future brides to get every detail regarding your wedding planning in writing so things like this don't happen to you; we were too trusting. Also, some food served at dinner was tasteless and unacceptable. Future brides, you would be wise to take your business elsewhere!! Sure, the room we stayed in was comfortable, but how can we recommend a place run in such a manner?
