The Founder's Inn Resort and Spa

This was a great place to start planning especially if you do not have any idea about location or vendors. The bridal show had a really great selection of everything. There were food tastings and free manicures, there also were significant discounts on dj services, floral arrangements, spa packages, etc. The only thing that lacked a little was the fashion show. Most of the styles seemed a little dated and tacky in conjunction with the rest of the show. Also, there were mostly big vendors, a lot of the smaller local vendors did not attend this show. All in all a great time and really received some great ideas.

I had my rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception at The Founders Inn, and everything was fabulous. They have a wonderful crew that helps to make the experience quite enjoyable. They printed out a special menu for my rehearsal dinner guests. We actually brought our own dessert to cut down on costs, and they set it up beautifully. The ceremony and reception were set up exactly as planned, and the food was fantastic! Everyone raved about it.

Great venue with wonderful food and great personnel to work with. The wedding co-ordinator worked very hard and listened to all of our concerns. She was able to ensure all of our unique needs and requests were met.

The Founders Inn was the perfect location for my ceremony and reception. My consultant, Sarah, was so helpful. My first florist stopped responding to me and Sarah was able to find me a better florist within a few months of the wedding. I had no worries on the wedding day as everything possible was taken care of. Since my ceremony was outside, having it at the Founders Inn brought me piece of mind because their indoor marble-floored atrium was the perfect rain location. I knew no matter what the weather brought, my wedding was going to be beautiful, and it was.

The Founder's Inn is a beautiful place to have a wedding. I have attended one wedding there and was blown away by the precision to detail that all the staff have. It's in a great location and yet you almost feel like it's an oasis since the grounds all have the colonial architecture and is it all faces in instead of facing the roads. I would highly recommend this as a location for a wedding and reception!

We had an excellent reception and they provided excellent packages for our guests to stay in as well in a picturesque setting. However the planner was not as on top of things as she should have been and we had to call several times to get our questions answered.

Ceremony + Reception:

They were extremely helpful and had great ideas to help us put together a perfect day. We used their vendors for the cake and decorations. We had our ceremony and reception there and stayed there the night after the wedding and everything was gorgeous!

Catering:

A variety of delicious food was prepared for our guests and they even had "kid friendly" food for our littlest guests. As you can see , they are a "one stop shop". The day ran so smooth because of their staff.

Accommodations:

Beautiful accommodations!

As a photographer I have brought several couples to the grounds of Founders Inn to photograph the couple in a beautiful, serene, natural setting. I would highly recommend this as both a wedding and reception location. From a photographers point of view there are so many gorgeous angles and endless possibilities to photograph here. If you choose Founder's you're guaranteed to have beautiful pictures.
