The most incredible Inn in the Monadnock region!
My husband and I just had many of our wedding events at the Blue Bear Inn including our Welcome Party, After Party, and post-wedding Brunch and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. The Blue Bear Inn is an unbelievably beautiful venue with its views down into the valley while set on a quiet, peaceful road. It is gorgeous and feels like home, somehow perfectly balancing feeling grand and intimate at the same time. The team at Blue Bear is also unmatched. They are the kindest people, who were truly invested in every step of the process with us. We had so many last minute changes and we could not have figured it all out with Carrie, who was so organized and patient both with us and all of our guests. At the Blue Bear, we got to know all of the staff and they were always making sure that we were happy and had everything that we needed and requested, whether it was Bob going around the entire property all day making sure all guests had what they needed or Bryan making sure I had enough light to walk through the yard after dark in my wedding heels or the staff dancing with us at night. The food they provided for the events was actually unbelievably, both in presentation and in taste. I was stunned by every course that kept coming out. The Blue Bear is a perfect venue for any and all wedding events and we couldn't recommend it more!!
Blue Bear Inn accommodations/after party
Blue Bear Inn's accommodations and hospitality for our wedding party and family to stay was exceptional. The Inn was conveniently located near our wedding venue, so we booked all the rooms the night of the wedding and several the night before. The rooms are charming, updated, immaculate, with very comfortable beds. Clearly can see Carrie and Bob, the owners, take great care of their Inn and property. A special perk Blue Bear offers which we were thrilled to enjoy are their after-party space, food and beverage services. Having the Inn all to ourselves for the after party just added a wonderful extension to the wedding. Carrie was so friendly, accessible and helpful with the details coordinating arrivals who had needed to get ready for the wedding, providing platters to be taken to the wedding venue and the menu for the after party. Finally, guests enjoyed sitting outside with the picturesque view of the mountains and at the pool the following day to make it such a full weekend experience.
Beautiful wedding venue!!
The Blue Bear Inn is the perfect place to have a wedding with its breathtaking New England setting! It offers gorgeous outdoor ceremony spaces, cozy indoor fireplaces and outdoor fire pits. The food and drinks are outstanding and can be personalized and customized to however you like. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this venue!!
