“We are so over the moon happy that we had our wedding at the Inns of Aurora! Highly recommended! I can write a novel about our amazing experience but will try to keep it short. The venue is so magical and by the lake! During our site visit we fell in love with the historic charm and the colorful designs and arts in each of the Inns houses and couldn’t wait to share that with our family and friends. We worked very closely with Lindsey who was so sweet and responsive and helped us with all the details such as planning our tasting, all the details about rooming, options for rehearsal and Sunday breakfast. Closer to our wedding, Kim helped us with directing the details of our wedding day, helped us with the rehearsal and worked so seamlessly with all of our vendors. Our Vendors all loved working at the Inns because everyone is so organized and friendly. We are so thankful because Lindsey and Kim, were there for us through every step of our event planning. Kim was very kind and attentive and she spent every minute from Thursday through the end of Sunday supporting us! They were truly friendly and treated us with so much love. Kim and her team made sure we stayed on time and made sure we had a chance to eat and drink during the hours of the wedding. The food was truly delicious and exceptional, during our tasting at the wedding and anytime we ate the 1833 Kitchen. Many of the rooms are overlooking the water and one last thing we loved is the special granola bar that in my opinion is one of the Inns of Aurora’s signature details. The inns of Aurora and the Spa facility will always be a special place for us and we will definitely be back. Lots of love Negar and Adam”

“I don’t even know where to begin with how special the New Park Venue is! The suites are absolutely stunning and I loved how I got to spend my wedding weekend with the people I love most in one place. The forest where the ceremony takes place is breathtaking, peaceful, and magical. Your ceremony photos will be beautiful! The owner of the venue, Sara is amazing! She was very accommodating all weekend! She was also very calm, cool, and collected which in turn helped me be cool, calm, and collected which as a bride is all you can ask for!

“Laura has been a dream to work with. She is quick in her responses and has eased my worried-bride mind countless times. Covid struck the wedding business so hard but she has operated with grace throughout the whole process. The barn is gorgeous and we love that our wedding is in the town we met and went to college in. I would highly recommend Dutch Harvest Farm to anyone looking for an easy, professional, and picture perfect wedding experience.”
