From the reviews

We had our entire wedding weekend at the Morgan Samuels and it was absolutely perfect! We knew we wanted the wedding somewhere where we could stay overnight and host our guests for a casual hang the day after and the Morgan Samuels fit the bill exactly.

★★★★★ — Hannah, Dec 2024

The Morgan Samuels Inn was perfect for my daughter's family-only micro-wedding! It was absolutely beautiful inside and out. There were so many possible spots to hold the wedding ceremony that it was difficult to choose one. They were all so beautiful. The night before we all went out to the fire pit and made s'mores.

★★★★★ — Tracy, May 2021

A gorgeous venue for a garden wedding. It was a bit difficult for me to get around on all the uneven walk ways and paths and many steps had no railing as I use a cane for assistance for stability this is a issue but it wasn't for most people who were enjoying my nephew wedding. Parking is close and shuttle available.

★★★★☆ — Diana, Aug 2021

Wedding July 2023 Beautiful grounds and house. Expansive and private. Being able to have rooms for the wedding party on location was a huge plus. Liza the owner-operator was there for us every step of the way, a torrential rain changed our ceremony plans, and she was out in the pouring rain to divert the water.

★★★★★ — Matthew, Jul 2023

Getting married at Morgan Samuels Inn & Venue

Morgan Samuels Inn & Venue comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
