The Exeter Inn was the perfect choice for us
I stumbled upon The Exeter Inn when I was looking for a private dining room for a small group after a wedding. Due to illness and children living in other states, we really needed to make this wedding happen on May 15. With only 10 days until the wedding, I reached out to Eileen Piccolo at the inn… and that’s where the magic began. An hour later, my fiancé and I were touring the venue. The minute I saw the inn and met Eileen, I was sold. Although we already had a location for our wedding, I loved the charm of the inn so much that we decided to switch location and do the ceremony AND celebration at The Exeter Inn. Eileen was so accommodating and understanding of our special needs for the day. She went above and beyond what I ever anticipated. We got married outdoors at their gazebo and it was perfect. We did photos on the property and they came out beautiful. The venue, our meals, the drinks and the service were all top notch. I am so glad I found Eileen and The Exeter Inn… they made our wedding day perfect ❤️The Exeter Inn's reply:
Meeting you and Barry was supposed to happen. It was serendipity! Your wedding was intimate, beautiful & full of love. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your beautiful day. It was my honor and greatest pleasure to assist you. Wishing you love, light & miracle. Eileen & the Entire Staff at The Exeter Inn. XO -

Perfect venue
Our experience with the Exeter Inn from our first tour through to the day after the wedding was accommodating, flexible, and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly and the food was amazing! The staff was helpful and on top of everything, and the day went by without a hitch. -

Spearman/Caron Wedding 2022
The Exeter Inn team of Eileen and Tommy were absolutely perfect! Through their years of experience, it was reassuringly clear they knew what they were doing! The venue itself looked better than we could have imagined and all of the staff worked hard to have the entire evening run worry free. We had an amazing wedding and I would be quick to recommend the venue.
Eileen was fast to answer questions, clarify, and figure out solutions. Tommy and his catering team were bright, engaging, and the food itself was truly delicious!
We could not have hoped for a more fun and beautiful evening.The Exeter Inn's reply:
Melanie,
Thank you for such a wonderful review. We take great pleasure in making your wedding dreams come true. You were so much fun to work with. Thomas and I enjoyed all of our meeting with you. Your wedding day was truly beautiful. I can't wait to get all your pictures back. You and Stephen are such a beautiful couple, inside and out. It was our honor & greatest pleasure to host your wedding. We look forward to see you again on your one-year anniversary stay! Wishing you & Stephen a lifetime of love, light, and happiness. XO Eileen, Thomas & the entire staff of The Exeter Inn. -

Michael B. Sent on 09/27/2019Lovely Venue, Dedicated Staff, Delicious Food & Cocktail, Flexible Kitchen
Almost 2 weeks removed from the wedding and starting to adjust to life again, there is a lot to reflect upon with the Exeter Inn and it's overflowing with positivity! We were married in mid-September with a ceremony across the street at St. Michael's Parish with the cocktail hour and reception immediately following the Exeter Inn. From Day 1, Laura (Director of Sales and Catering) was informative, attentive to our requests and expectations, and communicated super well. She kept us informed about the room block, guest registration, timing of the tasting, etc. The day of, she made sure we were fed, had a drink if we needed one, and checked on us. It was wonderful to have her and the team at the Exeter Inn executing our vision and making our day special. The chef was wonderful during the tasting and expressed his passion for fresh, local, seasonal foods and he and his team showcased what mid-September had to offer! The flavors were as expected - delicious - and the accommodations for guest with food allergies, sensitivities, and picky eating habits were beyond expectation. Guests with those needs were incredibly happy with their meals! The packages through the Inn also integrate the cake. And that experience was super easy to execute because the bakery was superb and we did not have to shop around after trying the cake samples and knowing the day of would be set!
For the other details, the accommodations, Inn staff, and restaurant were also wonderful. The package we chose included a suite for the night of the wedding and the special touches across the Inn are appreciated (cookies in your room, coffee in the lobby, helpful staff at the desk, etc.).
The wedding venue was able to accommodate an ever-growing list of guests with different sized tables being rented. With 106 guests, the space was able to seat everyone for dinner and host those interested in dancing on the separate/adjacent dance floor. The uniqueness of the space allowed those not interested in dancing to have a quieter space to connect. The bar's location off the dance floor was very convenient as well.
Overall: if you want a wedding venue that has it all in one place, attentive staff, delicious and flexible food, and space for approximately 100 people, I cannot say enough positive about the Exeter Inn. -

When I booked Zorvino Vineyards as my wedding venue I was in need of a hotel nearby and found the Exeter Inn. We had a lot of out of town guests and we were able to book the entire hotel. During planning we decided to have our rehearsal dinner at the Exeter Inn as well. During the whole planning process Laura was an absolute joy to work with. She was always quick to respond, answer all my crazy questions and over a wonderful person. The hotel was so accommodating even with the crowd that we brought in. The rehearsal dinner was wonderful (we opted for the buffet) which was very good. Everyone also raved about the breakfast at the Epoch Bar. We had one issue with one of our rooms which was handled quickly so no real issue. All of our guests fell in love with the quaint hotel and the stunning courtyard. I would absolutely recommend staying at and working with the Exeter Inn. -

Although we did not actually have our wedding at the Exeter Inn, we and our guests stayed at the Inn for our wedding weekend. We also hosted a day after breakfast at the Inn. Laura was amazing to work with! She was so helpful and answered my many many questions on the room block etc. quickly and thoroughly. Our stay was perfect and she recommended the right suite for me and the bridesmaids to get ready in the day of the wedding. All of the staff was exceptionally helpful with everything we needed, including keeping the bar open late when we got back after the wedding ended. I would certainly recommended them to anyone. -
Lori Sent on 10/19/2017I want to first say a huge "Thank you" to the Exeter Inn. They were fantastic. My husband Nick and I, couldn’t have asked for a better day on October 14, 2017. We first chose the inn for being unique, romantic, and an ideal location for us as well as most if not all of our guests. The moment we walked in, we knew this was our place. The inn had the classic “New England” charm that we were looking for. We met with Laura and from that first meeting, we knew she was one of a kind. She is attentive, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, the list goes on and on. She was on the ball from the moment we walked in that day to the very end of the evening of our wedding. She is absolutely incredible, she didn’t miss a beat. Her attention to detail, dedication, and assertiveness is unmatched. I also want to give a big shout out to the chef; the food is out of this world. We ate in the Epoch restaurant a couple of times before our tasting. They are so creative with their menu and tune it towards each season. Our guests raved about the hors-d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour and were even more impressed with the dinner served at our reception. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. One of the most important pieces of this whole event was the flexibility. Any detail change no matter how big or small was accommodated; it made for stress-free planning and a perfectly seamless day. Laura took great care of us and our guests. We so appreciate everything that she, as well as the rest of the staff, did to ensure our day was everything that we wanted and more. We highly recommend the Exeter Inn, to any couple looking for the perfect destination for their wedding or just a romantic getaway. If we had to do it all over again, Nick and I would choose the Exeter Inn, hands down, no question. Thank you again for making our day so very special.
