Megan Maria Dwyer Review of Buttermilk Falls Inn & Spa

My husband and I were married here in September 2016. The magical grounds, enchanting reception space, and exceptional service made for a fairytale wedding weekend.
THE PROCESS/(MICHAEL!): The planning process was a breeze, thanks to Buttermilk's coordinator, Michael. There are no words to describe how wonderful Michael is. We booked the venue about a year and a half from our wedding date, and Michael walked us through the process step by step -- many times knowing the answers to our questions before we even asked! Every person we talked to during our stay (family and Buttermilk staff, too!) spoke tremendously of Michael, and to us, that's a testament to how amazing Michael is at what he does.
THE INN: We spent the weekend at Buttermilk with our closest family and friends. The majority of our guests came from Long Island, Manhattan and Connecticut; it's an accessible venue that somehow manages to feel completely off the beaten path. The Inn has rustic charm -- and the cottages and houses on the property have modernized amenities. There was a hiccup or two in coordinating the room assignments for the weekend, but all worked out in the end. We heard nothing but great things from our guests about their weekend stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Pony's Pad, which overlooked the stunning grounds.
THE WEDDING: The wedding was absolutely magical. The rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, held on the patio outside the Inn, ran so smoothly. We had our ceremony near Swan Pond, and the grounds were meticulously groomed in preparation for the big day (despite there having been rainfall the night before). The Barn, the site for our cocktail hour and wedding reception, was gorgeously intimate and romantic. The barn's balcony, which overlooks the surprisingly not-stinky farm, has a lovely view. Unlike many other rustic reception sites, this barn is climate controlled and has a full kitchen. Two major pluses!
THE FOOD: Henry's at the Farm, the onsite restaurant, catered our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. The farm-to-table fare was absolutely delicious. All of our guests appreciated the unique menu that Michael helped us craft. Breakfast was included as part of staying at the Inn -- and the offerings were delicious and much more special than cold eggs and stale muffins. We were completely satisfied.
THE SPA: An awesome perk of booking our wedding at Buttermilk was that we received complimentary services at The Spa at Buttermilk. We decided to use the services the day after our reception, after our guests left the Inn. The spa was clean, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the massages were very, very good.
OVERALL EXPERIENCE: Tremendous! We had an amazing weekend. The whole experience was everything we could have imagined -- and more. We're tremendously grateful.
