Anne's Washington Inn Reviews

I celebrated my bridal shower at AWI in Saratoga Springs as a Gilmore Girls inspired event. The Inn and all the staff was very communicative and made the event a great one. They worked with us on parking as it ended up snowing the day of and made sure guests could get in and out safely. The venue was beautiful and the staff was amazing!

Anne's Washington Inn is a beautiful venue. It's open and bright and allows the outside views in through the many windows highlighting everything to be seen within the Inn. Joe, the owner, is a wonderful, welcoming host who generously gives of himself and the Inn. His kindness and helpfulness made my choice of venue the easiest part of the entire process. I highly recommend the Inn, not only for the venue itself, but also that you and/or your guests can stay there too! A major point for me was that it was impeccably clean, easy to locate, plenty of parking, lovely grounds and makes you feel happy just walking through the doors.

I highly recommend Anne's Washington Inn. You will not be disappointed. Joe is GREAT and the Inn is very, very lovely.

My daughter, guests and I loved it!

I know that I told you this but I just had to make sure you knew that we cannot thank you enough for your genuine hospitality this past weekend and during our whole planning of our wedding! You are so easy to work with and so accommodating! Our family and guests loved the atmosphere of the Inn and how it felt "like home" ~ we had it all to ourselves! They LOVED sitting on the front porch and having their tea and also being able to go out during the wedding was great for them too! We could not have had a better experience with you and the Inn ~ it was everything that we hoped for ... and more! The feeling of "warm and cozy and welcoming" was overwhelming! My nephew and his wife had a "date" and took the bike out and rode around the park and town and had such a wonderful time!

Joe ~ I would highly recommend your Inn to anyone .... and we truly are so thankful and appreciative of all that you did!

Thanks so very much!!

I actually feel a little sad that it is all over!

Joe Bokan and his team and Anne's Washington Inn went above and beyond to provide the perfect wedding accommodations for us and our entire family and friends! The venue was spectacular and unique in its ability to not only host the wedding but provide a location for all of our friends to enjoy together all weekend. From Friday to Sunday we enjoyed a wedding weekend we will never forget. The facility and grounds are beautifully maintained, close to everything Saratoga has to offer and casual enough to make you feel right at home. The flexible wedding packages allowed us to bring in our own preferred caterer and band while using the Inn's facilities to host the wedding and reception. Top notch experience from beginning to end. We had many family and friends tell us this was the best wedding they've every attended. Thanks Joe and everyone at the Inn for making it seem so effortless!

We had our wedding at Anne’s Washington Inn in June – we could not have been happier!!! When we first met Joe the February of the prior year he felt that we had known him forever! The Inn was closed for the season and Joe had just returned for vacation but he was so willing to meet with us and show us around! We knew that minute we stepped onto the property that this was were we wanted to be! The ability to have the whole property for the whole weekend without ‘outsiders’ – perfect!!!! Over the planning process Joe was so wonderful answering any questions and calming our nerves. Encouraging us to bring family and friends to see the place and have a cup of coffee and sit on the porch. We felt that he was family – and do even more so now! The wedding weekend was perfect! If you’re having a small wedding (ours was 60 people) it was absolutely perfect!!!!! Love the Inn and love Joe and his staff were so wonderful and pleasant! We will be back for a stay most definitely!

Joe and the rest of his staff were absolutely amazing during the planning process and during our wedding. I couldn't speak more highly of the entire team at Anne's Washington. Not only were they accommodating in every way for my husband and I, they were gracious with guests and made everyone feel at home. Joe is incredible - we do not live in the area and he helped us with finding additional vendors and even helped coordinate with them the day of wedding. A large part of the success of our big day is thanks to Joe!

We took over AWI for the bride's family and close friends for our wedding weekend, and we hosted brunch on Sunday after the wedding. Joe was awesome to work with and AWI is such a beautiful property with beautiful natural light and a fun back story. We also had people staying at another inn down the road, so we had a couple of late night after parties at AWI but it was super convenient to where everyone else was staying so it was really a great setup. Joe is also amazing and so open and helpful. Text is the best way to reach him, so just something to be aware of, but he's really on top of it that way and on site.

Anne's Washington Inn served as home base for our magical wedding weekend. Joe, the owner, is THE FRIENDLIEST, kindest, most generous person you will ever meet. He made me and my husband feel right at home, and welcomed all of our family and friends with open arms. We were able to host our rehearsal dinner, wedding after-party, and post-wedding breakfast there. It was so nice to have everyone in the same place--it really felt like a weekend-long house party. All of our guests remarked on how beautiful and comfortable the rooms were.Thank you, Joe, for making our wedding so perfect and memorable.

Anne's Washington Inn was absolutely the perfect venue for our wedding! On top of that, Joe, the owner was so kind, pleasant, and helpful, words can't even express my gratitude. This was a destination wedding for us, as we live in Virginia. All of our guests were so happy with the Inn, and it was so nice to have everything at one place. Having his "old-time' car, the bikes, as well as the swings made for the perfect pictures. Plus, our guests were able to ride the bikes into town to explore. The location could not be any better! Joe went above and beyond any expectations we had. Highly recommend Anne's Washington Inn for the wedding of your dreams!

The owner, Joe, is an absolute sweetheart, and we are SO happy that we chose to work with him as our wedding reception venue. We booked the Inn for two nights (one night needs to book all 18 rooms or else you are charged a fee), so we had family and wedding party stay the night before as well as the night of the wedding, which lent us an intimate and real "getaway" feel to our weekend. The inn is just precious and again- Joe is the shining light at the center. He makes you feel welcome from the first time you meet him, when he offers you "Peggy water" (lemon infused ice water) and a sit on the porch. He is very excitable and personable, making you feel like you're the first and only wedding he's ever hosted.

My experience at the Washington Inn was absolutely fantastic! Joe was extremely accommodating and always available when needed. The venue is romantic and intimate. My party turned out beautiful and I was very happy with the outcome.

Anne's Washington Inn is a beautiful venue perfect for any event. The attention to detail was evident. Joe makes you feel welcome, and is there for whatever you need. It was also very relaxing. My guests and I never felt rushed. We enjoyed the day at our own pace. It was a wonderful day enjoyed by all.

Thanks to Joe at Anne's Washington Inn my husband and I had the wedding of our dreams. The Inn is a beautiful location and the owner is extremely flexible. We were able to decorate the interior just as I imagined and Joe is such a pleasure to work with. My husband, our families and guests, and myself had a wonderful experience.

I put unique services because the relationship we had with Joe the owner was incredible, his personality and helpfulness was unbeatable, throughout the entire process Joe has helped us and worked with us to make the day of our wedding the most memorable experience we could think of. Overall the inside and outside of the inn was a great location very cool and worked great with our rustic themed wedding, everyone of our guests loved the buildings and the outdoor experience of Anne's Wahungton inn.

This was a planning meeting for a nonprofit group. Joe Joe donated beverages, pastries and fruit as well as the meeting space and more.

Wow. Just... wow. We'll be back

Anne's Washington Inn made our wedding day one we will never forget. It was the perfect intimate setting to share with our family and friends. We enjoyed every minute spent at the Inn and can't wait to come back. It was a pleasure and a joy working with Joe and his staff and we thank them so very much for the memories created. We recommend this beautiful venue for any special event anyone wishes to celebrate.

Wow. Just... wow. We'll be back

Joe is absolutely amazing. Our event was perfect thanks to him. Ten stars out of ten. We would give our highest recommendation for this venue. All special accommodations were met with a cheerful "no problem". Joe is the bombdiggity!

Joe was amazing to work with. He was very accommodating. Would definitely book another event there in the future.

From the second we walked into Anne's Washington Inn Joe made us feel welcomed. We knew that Anne's was the perfect place for us to have our wedding. Our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect, our guests were immediately relaxed and comfortable from the moment they arrived. The reception space provided plenty of room for a bar area, seating, dancing and a buffet table and plenty of room for guests to socialize and talk. Joe and his staff went well above and beyond our expectations for our wedding weekend. Our guests told us over and over again how perfect the Inn was and many had plans to stay at Anne's for their next trip to Saratoga Springs.

My bridal shower was held here a few weeks ago and it could not have been a more perfect venue.

It was a perfect place to stay, relax and catch up with old friends being it was our
60th high-school reunion. The rooms were beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean.
Joe was the perfect host .... could not do enough for any of us ... breakfast was a delight and
coffee was the best. The whole setting was exceptional and I would recommend it totally
without any reservation.

From the moment we arrived at Anne's Washington Inn, Joe was an accommodating, gracious, and kind host. Our friends and family enjoyed their stay and we received many compliments. We would highly recommend Anne's Washington Inn to stay or for an event. We look forward to visiting in the future. With kind regards...Christine & Darren

I knew I didn't want my reception in a traditional ballroom or to have a reception venue where tons of my friends and acquaintances had had theirs, so my mom encouraged me to look at "That beautiful Inn on Route 9 on the way into downtown!" and I'm so glad I did. The Washington Inn is probably the Capital Region's best kept secret. I can't say enough positive things about it. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are charming, and the owner, Joe, is one of the nicest, most accommodating people you'll ever meet. One of the best parts about having my wedding here was that everyone who stayed the night (we filled all the rooms so the whole place felt like ours) really got to know each other by hanging out on the porch after the wedding and in the dining room over breakfast the next morning. I feel like my family, my new husband's family, and our friends all got to talk and hang out in a way that they wouldn't have in other venues when the reception ends and everyone goes home or to their hotels. Everyone felt so relaxed and at-home that no one wanted to leave the next morning! If you're looking for something beautiful, memorable, and just enough out of the box to make everyone jealous that they hadn't thought of it first, check out the Washington Inn!
