    Amazing amazing amazing!

    We could not be happier with our decision to hold our wedding weekend at Hotel Domestique! We initially contacted Sarah, the event coordinator of Hotel Domestique only 6 weeks before our wedding, after making the difficult decision to downsize our large wedding due to COVID19. We were planning to reduce our wedding guest list from 160 to 26 people, and were looking for a venue that would be more size-appropriate for our new plan to host a small, intimate ceremony and elegant dinner. Hotel Domestique did not disappoint! From the first day we met with Sarah and toured the gorgeous hotel and dreamy grounds, we knew that Hotel Domestique would be the perfect venue for us! Even in planning a completely new wedding in only 6 weeks, we couldn’t have had a better experience at Hotel Domestique. Sarah was fantastic to work with. She was prompt, clear, and consistent with communication, and very accommodating, even with the constantly changing state COVID regulations. Sarah was great at helping us create a beautiful new wedding plan, while incorporating COVID precautions that would ensure our guests felt safe and comfortable (which was something that was important to us!) She also helped us to come up with some creative solutions to carry out the wedding plans we initially wanted, by shifting their “typical” event practices to accommodate our ideas in a safe manner. We booked out the entire hotel (13 rooms total) for our wedding group and stayed the entire weekend. The hotel staff treated us so well and were so amazing to work with. We received special treats on our pillows each night and were given free use of all of the common areas! I can’t say enough positive things about Hotel Domestique and all of its staff on-site!! So many of our guests are still telling us that our wedding was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. :) If you’re considering having your wedding here, do it!! You won’t regret it!

    Absolute Perfection!

    I cannot emphasize enough how incredible Sarah and the Hotel Domestique team are at making your day flawless. Their professionalism and attention to detail made planning so easy, and the day of the wedding was absolutely perfect!

    Best Venue Ever!

    We got married at Hotel Domestique on 9.7.19. The hotel will always have a special place in our hearts. We rented out all of the rooms to enjoy a wedding weekend. Everything from the beauty of the hotel, the unbelievably kind hotel staff, and the amazing food made for a perfect weekend. Anything we requested was taken care of. We would highly recommend Hotel Domestique to anyone. We plan on going back soon!

    Absolutely fantastic wedding weekend

    We got married June 1, 2019 at Hotel Domestique and we could not have been more satisfied!!! When you have over 30 guests you are required to book the hotel for the weekend... What a treat! We got to spend extra time with our closest friends and family all weekend in such a beautiful setting. We were told by nearly every guest at our wedding that it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. Chef Hayden did a WONDERFUL job collaborating with us to create a delicious 3 course dinner menu that was exactly what we wanted. We opted not to get a wedding cake and told the chef we wanted something with chocolate. He suggested a flourless chocolate torte with a white chocolate chantilly and it was TO DIE FOR. Better than any wedding cake, that is for sure. Everyone said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, and of course we had to agree! Sarah, the event coordinator at the hotel, was always quick to respond to our inquiries and she was a helpful resource to help us stay within our wedding budget. This venue is slightly pricier than some of the other places in the area but it is SO WORTH IT. Considering you are paying not just for one night but for a weekend at the hotel with all of your friends (which includes a delicious breakfast by the way), gourmet food, and a stunning view, this place cannot be beat. We loved every second of our wedding weekend and we would absolutely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

    I can’t rave enough about this place! When we saw Hotel Domestique we knew it was the place for us. From the gorgeous views, enough rooms to hold the bridal party for the weekend, and amazing food, you can’t go wrong here! First, it’s wonderful to have all of your closest family and friends stay in one place. We had the rehearsal dinner, a pool party, bridal luncheon, ceremony and reception here! The rooms are so beautifully decorated and the guest pantries with free wine are awesome! Second, the food is seriously good. The chef is an actual chef and he knows his stuff! We’re still getting food compliments. Third, Sarah, Brendon, Adam and ALL of the staff are so kind and helpful. They did so much behind the scenes to make our day flawless (and it was). They also let us design and curate our day to exactly how we desired. There’s really nothing I can say negative about this place. If you’re on the fence, BOOK! This place is magical.

    The people at Hotel Domestique are very professional and helpful. The events coordinator, Amy, is on top of everything which calmed my nerves a lot. It is a beautiful venue and the food is phenomenal!

    GM Dan and Chef Adam are incredible! Once Cindy left the Hotel, everything was perfect. The rehearsal, cocktails, wedding and reception were perfect. The entire Hotel Domestique team was on hand to be sure everything was done to their standard…which is excellent. Chef Adam's received rave reviews from all in attendance.

    It was an outstanding week-end for everyone, especially the bride and groom!

    C&W Wedding

    The team at Hotel Domestique could not have been more wonderful. From the first day of planning with Sarah to the day after wedding weekend they exceeded our expectations. The wedding couple quote about their wedding at Hotel Domestique "That was Amazing!"

    Hotel Domestique's reply:

    Thank you Joanna, I miss working with you! The thoughtfulness of the event presented itself in every corner and we had a great time hosting yourself, family and friends.

    Come back and see us!

    My husband and I loved having our wedding at Hotel Domestique! The scenery was gorgeous...it felt like a destination wedding without having to go far from home! Jeff and Jody made all of our family and friends feel special, welcomed, and cared for. It seemed like they were always two steps ahead, anticipating and meeting our needs for the whole wedding weekend. The Hotel Domestique team thought of everything from rearranging furniture to offering up a glass of champagne to hanging clothes up in our guests' rooms. They really made the Hotel feel like our own home for the weekend, even moving our wedding centerpieces to the breakfast tables the next morning and putting adorable (and delicious) snacks out in the rooms each night. The food at the venue was incredible, as well! We appreciated collaborating with the chef and pastry chef to come up with a great menu for both our rehearsal dinner and reception. Lastly, Sarah, Brendan, and Nick helped me pull off a wonderful Cigar and Whiskey bar surprise for my husband to end the night. We would whole-heartedly recommend Hotel Domestique and look forward to continuing to visit this site for years to come!

    Beautiful Venue!

    This venue was the wedding venue of my dreams. So stunning and fit my vision perfectly. Plus staying at the hotel with our friends and family made it feel even more fun and intimate. Sarah is great to work with!

    Ben - General Manager, Adam - Executive Chef, and Adjryche - Pastry Chef are the absolute best in the business. From the cake designed and made in house, to the specialty cocktail menus that had our guests dancing all night, to the seamless execution of our Rehearsal Dinner, Bridal Brunch, Ceremony, Reception, and Mother's Day brunch send off (while rain was forecasted all weekend) all on site, it could not have been done without the efforts of Ben, Adam, Adjryche and their teams. The word perfect is rarely used for weddings, but is applicable for our wedding because of everything they did to make it so.

    *Recommend ensuring Cindy ("event planner") is removed from the planning process as early as possible.
