A recent bride raves about her experience:

“We had our wedding at The South Mountain Inn this past June and we cannot recommend everything about this place enough. Matt and Kedri (hosts and owners), went above and beyond in every way imaginable for us and our guests over the weekend. The property is so beautifully maintained, and every room in the house is so comfortable and welcoming. They helped us set up and tear down our rehearsal dinner/wedding, and were the best mix of present but not overbearing during our special day. Between the two of them, there was a plan A and a plan B for everything, and I felt so reassured as the bride that our day was going to be magical no matter what. They delivered beyond my wildest dreams for us and our families to celebrate. Three months later and all of our guests are still saying, “this was the way to do a wedding”. Do yourself a favor and book an event or just a weekend stay, you will not regret it!” Anna S.
