The RSI went out of their way to make our wedding dinner a lovely and special event. The food was outstanding and the service perfect. Joseph, Ness and Chris were so very helpful and we are grateful for their kind assistance which made for a great evening!

The Roger Sherman Inn provided a most elegant and comfortable place for out-of-town family and friends to stay during the wedding weekend, plus a wonderful, delicious post-wedding Brunch on Sunday morning.

The Roger Sherman Inn was an amazing venue to have a wedding, especially if you are looking for an intimate, elegant environment! My husband and I were extremely impressed with the food and the cake, as were the guests. The food was not only delicious, but arrived to each table hot (something that is not always the case at other weddings). For being included in the package, the cake was really tasty and beautiful! I couldn't have hand-selected a better one myself. The banquet manager was initially not as responsive as I would have liked (for instance, he would respond to my lengthy, detail-oriented emails with only a few sentences), but in the end, he pulled everything together perfectly. The only concern that we had was that the DJ was unable to properly connect to have the music playing in the dining room and bar/cocktail hour location. However, guests ended up enjoying that they could have conversation in one space and dance in another. Overall, we had an incredible experience.

Roger Sherman Inn was a beautiful location for the 'Celebration Dinner' we had after our wedding ceremony. Chris Paul, and the entire staff, were a pleasure to work with: gracious, accommodating, friendly and professional.

Vendor recommendation from Denise Cregier Photographer

Love this warm inviting Inn for intimate weddings with an indoor/outdoor experience. Great food, great welcoming people.

Vendor recommendation from Margaret Sanzo Sneddon, Harpist

It is always a pleasure to play in this beautiful location. Everything is first class.
