“I had always dreamt of getting married at the Major's Inn just on the look of the exterior, and Cecelia was incredibly helpful when my husband and I had come to view the venue. She worked with us on any questions we had and was incredibly patient and kind throughout the experience of working with her to ensure set-up and clean up was a breeze, she even gave us a detailed packet that included table size options, china rental options, mantle lengths for decor, and a list of vendors who've worked on site prior that have great experience in working at that specific location, which made everything so easy. It's a fantastic venue, and the cost is a value to say the least at only $2,200 for two and a half days of the entire grounds and kitchen for caterer use. We received so many compliments on how stunning the venue was, and I believe every one of them because it truly is a beautiful place for a wedding.”

Unique experiences (animals, swimming, smores and bonfires, unique and beautiful spaces throughout the venue, and lots of quality time with our guests)
EXCEPTIONAL ORGANIZATION. From contract signing, we were introduced to Brandon (your onsite planner, event director, and assistant GM for the venue) who organized EVERY DETAIL of our wedding in the 10 months leading up to the weekend. He made planning 3 days worth of events as easy as they could be – stage-gating when decisions needed to be made and then taking the reins in the 30 days leading up to our June 29 wedding (effectively passing off all our vendor communication to him.) And the weekend of our wedding, he knew all our guests, their dietary restrictions (and what food to serve them), and coached us on key moments of the wedding day. For example, right as we entered the reception for our Grand Entrance and first dance, which we choreographed, Brandon told us to focus only on each other, not to get distracted by our guests and cameras, etc. He had amazing little ‘pep talks’ for all the Big Moments and was such an important part of our weekend – we’re so grateful for him and his team.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL. The groom’s father has Celiac and needs gluten free meals prepared without contamination – the venue went above and beyond to ensure he, and other guests with dietary restrictions, had everything they needed. Our guests told us they felt very taken care of all weekend.
And the event spaces were beautifully set up and organized for everything – umbrellas in every tent, golf carts to shuttle folks around. We consistently heard from our friends and family that the venue had somehow anticipated the things they needed before they could even ask for it.
GUESTS TAKEN CARE OF. We had elderly grandparents onsite with us. We worried their mobility issues would impact their enjoyment of the weekend, but everywhere we looked, there they were whizzing by in a golf cart. They had a great time.
And not just them, but all our guests were shuttled around in the rain. If anyone forgot anything, staff would run and get it for them. I left my engagement ring in a bedroom and Katie went and brought it to me during the Friday Welcome Party so I didn’t have to step away from the event.
SEAMLESS RAIN BACKUP PLAN. No one wants rain on their wedding day. We had planned for the outdoor woods ceremony but it poured all night and all day so we called it off. As disappointed as we were, the photos and video we have back from the Milking Parlor are unbelievably beautiful. The venue made sure all our vendors were re-oriented to the new plan and other than needing to find more indoor place to take formal portraits, everything happened behind the scenes and it all went great.
AMAZING FOOD. We live in NYC and eat great food all the time. Gilbertsville’s food is EXCEPTIONAL. Friday lunch sandwiches and salad were legit amazing. Rehearsal Dinner with dumplings, fried rice, baos, chicken, etc. was casually served buffet-style and delicious. People loved the smores that evening at the bonfire welcome party.
Wedding day food was out of this world (and we loved eating leftovers on our upstate minimoon in the days that followed) – y’all gotta get the sage butternut squash ravioli and Moroccan beef tagine. WOW.
Our guests raved about the food to us all weekend (and since.)
UNIQUE EXPERIENCES. Ultimately, we wanted to give our guests a mini vacation and a unique experience. This was a solid 3-day party – everyone genuinely got to know one another, spend quality time together and with us, and created meaningful, joyful memories beyond just the wedding reception. We LOVED our time at Gilberts”
