From the reviews
We do not have enough words to express our gratitude for The Red Lion Inn. We couldn’t ask for a better, more beautiful wedding experience! Krystel was a true gift to us during the planning process and made every request come true.
A Magical First Stay at The Red Lion Inn. We booked our first stay at The Red Lion Inn simply because we had to—our floors were being redone and we needed somewhere convenient for work. We figured, “why not?” and we are so incredibly glad that we did! This charming, historic inn truly exceeded every expectation.
We could not have been happier with our wedding at the Red Lion Inn this past August. Krystel was our wedding coordinator and she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect the day of our wedding.
The Red Lion Inn was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the charm, character, and warmth of the space. The setting is timeless and romantic, with so many beautiful spots for photos and for our guests to enjoy.
Getting married at The Red Lion Inn
The Red Lion Inn 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.
Corporate events & private parties at The Red Lion Inn
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Red Lion Inn — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
