  • Perfect place for a winter wedding!

    Emily and J.Feb 8

    We couldn’t have dreamed of a lovelier or more intimate setting for our small December wedding! Sarah, Mariah and the team collaborated with us every step of the way: paying special attention to the menu and decorations, coordinating with the local florist, providing outstanding hospitality for our guests, and making sure everything went smoothly during the ceremony and reception! Can’t recommend the Wayside Inn and its wonderful staff highly enough!!

  • Best Decision of Our Wedding!

    We have been coming to the Wayside Inn for years as guests and it was the perfect place for our wedding guests to stay and to host our welcome dinner! Sarah and her team went above and beyond to make everything so special from a creating a weekend itinerary for guests, decorating the Inn with personalized photos of us submitted by our friends & family, and champagne and strawberries waiting in our room after the reception. Sarah & Mariah took so much care with the planning process to make sure every detail was right and what we wanted. Our guests keep telling us how much they loved the Inn and it is the perfect place for any couple looking to get married in a cozy and intimate location in the mountains!
