Review of The Hartness House 3*

I recently got married at the Hartness House Inn. This was our second stay and I chose this place for it's vintage character and old-time charm. My wedding was a small affair with just 8 family members and close friends. Although the Inn is very large, all my guests and I always felt comfortable like we were at home. It was especially convenient to have all my close friends and relatives stay close together for this weekend. My wedding package came with many things but I will always fondly remember the gorgeous suite with fireplace. The living room was large and we invited our friends to join us and spend time together yakking, snacking, and enjoying ourselves by the warm fire. I must admit that I spent almost no time planning my wedding. After meeting with Alla and Lena on our first visit, they planned a complete wedding ceremony and reception for us. It included a private ceremony room, arranging a Justice-of-the-Peace, a photographer, my bridal flowers, and organizing a reception dinner for everyone in one of their dining rooms. After the wedding ceremony, the photographer took us around the inside and outside of the property to get some very beautiful pictures of our wedding and our guests. The reception dinner was spectacular and everyone complimented the staff and chef on a great job. The following morning at breakfast we received all our photographs, and with our guests, looked at them on my laptop — — I was very happy. The hosts, Alla and Alex, are delightful and warm people. Always with a smile, they answered my husband's many questions about the inn — — but be careful there is a lot of history to recount. The staff was terrific, always helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. They planned trips for some of my guests to interesting nearby attractions. This place is lovely and offers a lot of character; like staying at your wealthy relatives home for the weekend. I recommend the Hartness House to everyone and can't wait to come back to celebrate our anniversary.
