Intimate Wedding Venue
I've been going to dinners at the Salem Cross Inn throughout my life and I decided to have my wedding here June 2nd 2023. Donna & Nancy were really helpful and attentive leading up to the day! They are very patient and organized.
If you're looking for a barn style wedding that's more upscale, this is the place! The space itself is perefect if you love an old school, classic New England look. The outdoor space has an amazing backdrop of pastures for great photo ops with the wedding party.
The food was very good (it always is here). Spring for the fire roasted prime rib if that's your thing, your guests might even see it turning over the hearth in the basement. Can't recommend Salem Cross enough.

With only having 32 guests, we had our wedding in the Brookfield room, it was a perfect room. Nancy and Donna were amazing, they guided us from the very beginning until the very end with every detail, it didn't matter that it was a small wedding. I appreciate everything they did for us. Our guests are still raving out the food and venue. -

Jessica K. Sent on 06/25/2022Amazing! Could not recommend them enough.
We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding at Salem Cross Inn. From the moment we stepped onto the venue, we knew that this is where we were going to get married. The grounds were the perfect backdrop for our special day. There is so much natural beauty and history there. The food and drinks were amazing and not your typical run of the mill wedding food. Everything is fresh and homemade and many of our guests said that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Nancy and Donna were great to deal with and made navigating wedding planning in a pandemic stress free. We could not recommend Salem Cross Inn enough and cannot wait to return in the future for dinner. -

The pandemic left us without our original venue and no direction to look for a new one in. I started talking with a stranger about my desire to have a wedding at a scenic, rustic setting, and how much I wanted that antique/colonial "vibe", on our somewhat limited budget. They pointed me to Salem Cross Inn and I'm so glad they did.
SCI had everything me and my new husband were looking for in a venue- sweeping, rolling, beautiful scenery, authentic rustic charm, a gorgeous barn, and the weddings they do are all-inclusive. It was indispensable having everything centralized and under one bill, not having to worry about rentals even if it rained, as well as all food and drink which were absolutely delicious. Their wait staff are all very friendly too. (That also meant we could have the rehearsal with dinner the night before, no problem). They were even able to set us up with their baker for our cake who was equally high-quality, and the fact that we were able to afford it was the best part of all. They were very flexible in many ways; up until the morning of my wedding it looked like it might rain, and I was able to wait until then to make the call as to whether we'd be indoors or out. The bridal suite was perfect for me and my girls; it's nice and bright and good for photos. We also made some very specific requests such as turning the bridal suite into a "quiet space" so that during the wedding loves ones who struggle with sensory stimulation could have a place to decompress in, and they accommodated that, as well as providing small touches like easels and putting up some additional lighting I brought in the barn (shout out to their maintenance person!). Granted, I did feel mildly prodded-at for asking some detailed questions to ensure my vision was pulled off the way I had it in my head (but it was my wedding, and as you can see I like to be thorough) but everything was taken care of and pulled off perfectly on the Day Of.
Salem Cross Inn is virtually everything I could have hoped for in a venue and was the perfect place to host one of the happiest days of my life. -

If you're looking for a venue that leaves your guests in awe over the historic magical romance this place provides, then the Salem Cross Inn is the venue for you. Both, Nancy and Donna handled our wedding date changing 3 times, due to covid-19, with such grace and elegance that there was never any added stress to our big day! My husband and I always felt like we were apart of their family when in their presence and felt that the two of them made our wedding process easy, fun, and the best experience we could have every hoped for! We highly recommend the Salem Cross Inn. -

We had our Wedding in October 2021, after having to reschedule it three times due to COVID. Donna and the team at Salem Cross Inn were phenomenal. She was understanding, flexible, organized, kind, helpful, knowledgeable... there are not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful she is! Salem Cross Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. The food was amazing, the atmosphere warm, and the dancing untamed. Our guests left happy. It was the best day of my life, and I wholeheartedly believe it was because we picked the perfect venue! -

Words cannot express how happy my husband and I are that we had our wedding at Salem Cross Inn.
From the moment we connected with the venue, Donna and Nancy have been nothing but professional, supportive, and excited for us.
On and before our wedding day they coordinated with all of our vendors, and were so organized! All this is so important for a stress free day and just makes Salem Cross Inn an incredible venue to work with.
The inside, outside, the food, the decor, and all of the small details they provide is BEYOND incredible. All of guests were blown away and still ranting about how it was the best venue they have ever been to for a wedding.
We chose to do the house salad with their own (amazing) dressing, prime rib, maple jack chicken and their deep dish apple pie and each were such a hit. When I tell you it is the best food we have ever had, I truly mean it.
We had our ceremony outside in front of the gazebo, cocktail hour in their tap room and outside, dinner in the barn and then back down stairs to the tap room for dancing. Each location is stunning and just adds special elements to each event of the night.
I highly reccomend Salem Cross Inn, you will not be disappointed, and I promise you will have wedding of your dreams -

It was a perfect night!
My wife and I were married and had our reception at the Salem Cross Inn last September. We could not have asked for a more beautiful and more accommodating venue! It rained and their contingency plans worked perfectly, followed by pictures on their gorgeous hillside grounds once the sun poked through. The venue was a rustic barn theme that we loved and our guests still talk about that night a year later. It was quite a party! The food was amazing and the staff were super helpful throughout all the steps that go into planning a wedding. I would absolutely recommend checking them out! -

Nancy was a dream to meet with - she made all my fears planning a wedding disappear when my fiancé (now husband) and I began planning our wedding October 2019. From the home style cooked meals (fireplace prime rib!), to the ceremony space, bridal suite, cocktail hour, to wedding cakes - everything you can need and more is offered at this venue. Salem Cross is the decor in itself, and it truly was the perfect backdrop to our big day. They provide you with a list of vendors they work closely with, such as DJ, officiants, floral, hotels, etc. which has made the planning experience that much easier as well. Once quarantine hit, my husband and I spoke with Nancy about what we should do. She assured us she was going to accommodate and support us in whatever decision we made. She truly was the most understanding individual - it made us that much happier we chose this venue from the start. We were able to still have a small intimate ceremony this past Halloween with our immediate family members because the date meant so much to us. On the day of, Nancy and Donna went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed and have been so accommodating despite the craziness of COVID. We can’t wait until this September when we can have the rest of our friends and family join us for the awaited reception. Can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else other than Salem. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Nancy and Donna at Salem cross we’re so amazing to work with! I ended up having my wedding in the middle of the first hurricane in 3 decades to make landfall in New England and Nancy was right there the whole time making sure everything went as smoothly as it could! The building and wedding space is perfect. It’s such a cozy environment inside and looks gorgeous all set up and put together. The barn, where the reception is held, was the exact environment I was looking for. The food, was out of this world, all of our appetizers were eaten and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The flow of the reception was not too fast or slow. The staff was so supportive and there for anything that we needed beforehand or during the day. Everything about the day was perfect! My husband and I would 100% recommend Salem cross to anyone! -

We could not be happier with our experience with Salem Cross Inn. Planning a wedding from across the country is stressful and complicated but Nancy and Donna were quick with their communication and made everything as easy as possible and as such the day went incredibly smoothly. The food was excellent and the barn and grounds were simply stunning. Salem Cross Inn graciously accommodated all our requests especially when it came to our complicated food menu. We had 15 guests who were vegan and several of them told me their meal gave them great ideas for home cooking as it was a meal they had not experienced before. We had 90% thunderstorm forecasted for the day so Salem Cross Inn not only set us up for an outdoor ceremony, but also had an indoor space set up and ready to go if we had to move inside at the last second. Thankfully, the weather held and we were able to enjoy the gorgeous flower garden and gazebo. All in all, we are extremely grateful to the Salem Cross Inn staff for creating such an amazing day for us and will hold these memories dear forever. -

We got married at Salem Cross 10.23.21 and it was nothing short of a dream. It was everything I could’ve envisioned and more. Nancy and Donna were so great to work with throughout the entire process. We had to reschedule due to Covid and they were so accommodating and made the process a breeze. Their professionalism was impeccable, they even helped clear tables the night of! Talk about hard working women. The barn and grounds are absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere is warm, and inviting. The food is the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding (and probably ever will). The entire menu is delightfully curated, featuring hand crafted artisan dishes, made with love from locally sourced ingredients. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing. I will recommend them over and over! Thank you so much for the wedding of our dreams. We can’t wait to come back for years to come! -

What a stress free and very accommodating venue Salem Cross Inn is. Donna and Nancy were able to answer all our questions and meet all of our needs while keeping our minds at ease and the safety of our guest in the forefront during a global pandemic. The food is always amazing and the wait staff are the nicest around. We had the ceremony outside at the gazebo with the beautiful fall foliage in the background. Following the ceremony was a wonderful sit down meal in their immaculate 2 floor barn. Our guests gave multiple compliments at how attentive and professional the staff were. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding venue to remember.
