Jedediah Hawkins Inn

With its glass walls and ceiling, the Solarium offers amazing views of our gardens, breezeway, barn, farm and the sky above. A long wood farm table, white marble tables and overstuffed sofas lend a rustic yet elegant charm. Air conditioned and heated, it is comfortable in any season and may be used for an intimate gatherings.

Surrounded by 22 acres of farms and gardens, the Inn has countless places for ceremonies and photo opprtunities. A bocce ball game, giant jenga, croquet, horse shoes or badminton provide afternoon activities, if desired. Defined by two large umbrellas and a few steps down from the house’s North porch, the patio is proving to be a very popular area.

Most weddings take place on the lawn in front of the barn. Couples exchange vows in the open air with farmland and garden views. Our breezeway with wisteria vines is a beautiful back drop for photos and forms an arbor for the ceremony. Flowers can be attached to its columns. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony moves into the barn and we set the barn for dinner during cocktail hour in the main house.

The octagonal Victorian Gazebo with its screened, arched windows that let the winds blow through, surrounded by flower beds, provides a lovely private setting for an intimate wedding, renewal of vows or elopement. It can be set up for a ceremony or for a small celebration. It has also been used for a photobooth and a private gathering area before the ceremony.

The 1,800-square foot barn offers a magnificent setting for a ceremony. The bridal party walks down the breezeway and enters through the double doors, proceeding down the aisle to the front. The loft above is a great vantage point for photographers, a band or DJ. A large number of windows and doors provide ample light. Dramatic iron chandeliers, hanging from the high cathedral ceilings, complete the barn’s elegant yet rustic charm. In case of rain, the barn is a great alternative plan for the ceremony.

The Speakeasy, with its original field stone walls, brick floor, fireplace, and reclaimed wood bar and tables, is our most cozy space, providing a haven throughout the day for the groomsmen to wait and get ready. With seating for up to 20 for dinner or a cocktail reception, it is the perfect secluded setting for an intimate rehearsal dinner or an after-party.
