Candlewood was absolutely amazing. Our wedding day was magic thanks to Christian and his staff. The venue is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the service is incredible. I just cannot say enough about this place. They were so helpful and so flexible leading up to the event, and on the day of the wedding, they were more than attentive. Someone stepped on my dress and my bustle ripped, and before I knew it, someone was at my table to fix it. Candlewood exceeded all of my expectations, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a gorgeous reception site, great food, and friendly, professional staff.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Candlewood Inn in the beginning of October. From the start, Christian and Christina were extremely helpful and open to what we asked for during the 10 months it took us to plan, which simplified what can normally be a very tedious job. The actual night of the wedding couldn't have been more amazing. The setting of our ceremony was absolutely stunning, and the professional staff went above and beyond to ensure that not only my husband and I were taken care of, but that all of my guests felt important during their time at our reception. I am still receiving rave reviews from family and friends about the delicious food, the service, and about how beautiful the venue was for our wedding. I want to thank the entire staff of the Candlewood Inn for making our special night the best night of our lives!

We had our wedding reception at The Candlewood Inn and were blown away by all of the individual attention and professionalism of the staff. All throughout the planning process the staff could not be more helpful and did all they could to make the planning easy and transparent! On our big day everything went so well thanks to Christian (Event Manager) and all of the staff who made everything so easy and special. This venue is one in a million, the setting on the lake side is unbeatable, the food is delicious with great portions, and the staff are so friendly and helpful. They truly went above and beyond to include all of the unique special details that we wanted for our day. When we walked into the reception room we were speechless to how beautiful everything looked! We couldn't imagine our event happening anywhere else!

10 out of 10, I would rate The Candlewood Inn a 20 out of 10 if I could. The food was delicious, my family and friends are STILL talking about it. The view is the backdrop for most of our wedding photos, and even though we got married in March, the pictures are GORGEOUS. The sunsets are out of this world, rain, sleet, snow, or shine, this place steals your breath. The service was impeccable, so much so that I actually took a moment to thank all the people bussing the tables and cleaning up at the end of my reception. Courteous and professional, they went above and beyond and knocked our socks off!!

Our experience with the candlewood Inn was nothing short of fantastic. The food was out of this world, the quality of service provided to the bridal party, my family (the bride) and all of our guests was fantastic. During the reception you didn't even notice the staff, but right when I needed something they would appear out of nowhere to help. Christian was my coordinator and he was fantastic. Every detail was taken care of, everything was beautiful, and thanks to him, everything flowed beautifully.

This vendor was very easy to work with and made planning our reception a stress-free experience. The event went off without a hitch - the food was great and the views are amazing. Our guests kept commenting on how beautiful the space was. The staff was attentive but unobtrusive. This vendor was very professional and worth the price. Lastly, the staff took such good care of the bride and groom - they were great!

The Candlewood Inn is a picturesque location to have your wedding. We had both our reception and our wedding ceremony at the Inn. Our wedding took place outside in front of the lake by their beautifully decorated Gazebo. The weather was a bit overcast, but because of the pure beauty of the area it couldn't take away from the day. The staff is incredible; on top of every need. The personal attendants taking care of all the brides needs in the suite before the ceremony, to after the ceremony bringing out appetizers and drinks. It was wonderful. They truly catered to every need, and thought of everything. The food was excellent, the staff was on top of it all - everything went to schedule perfectly... I couldn't have asked for a better wedding. It was truly the best day of my life. I'd say that the only thing that could have been improved was the wedding cake. The bakery that they use isn't that good. We didn't even keep the rest of the cake - we just threw it out. I can bake better; but the rest of the food was excellent! If having a mediocre wedding cake is the worst of it... that's a good deal, especially since you have the option of ordering your own cake if you like, and they will provide complimentary truffles in its place. If my husband and I had taken the time to go over and sample their cake prior to our wedding we would have special ordered our cake elsewhere, oh well. Not like we really need to be eating all that extra left over cake!!! LOL It's a blessing in disguise! =)

The Candlwood Inn was very beautiful we had an amazing wedding day. The staff professional and catered to our every need the day of the wedding. The staff was extremly flexible to additional things we would like to bring in or add to the package. I took a 1/2 star off for flexiblity b/c the place books up extremly quick. We booked The candlewood Inn 18 months ahead of time and we still couldn't get the date we wanted. We fell in love the place so much we were willing to change the date and it was so worth it!

We had the most amazing wedding day ever! The people at the Candlewood Inn took care of every last detail and I had to worry about nothing at all over the course of the day, or even leading up to the event. The food was spectacular and I can not begin to tell you how many compliments we got on our choice!

The Candlewood Inn is located on Lake Candlewood and provides an incredible backdrop for a wedding. The staff however was what made our experience so amazing. They were attentive, detailed oriented, nice, and efficient. The were able to do everything that we asked from the set up of many individual items, to the handing out and organizing of our sparkler grand exit. All of the food was delicious and served at the same time. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors! The were always two steps ahead of us handing us drinks, appetizers, pulling out our chairs. I could not have asked for a more perfect day or a more perfect place. They operated to perfection!

The Candlewood Inn is an idyllic setting for a wedding. Right on the lake- beautiful! I think what stood out most for us with them was the service- they waited on us hand and foot all day- not just us, but our parents too - my Mom said they treated her like royalty. They took care of all of my special requests, and were two steps ahead of us, anticipating our needs, etc. They really just went above and beyond what I expected - and I expected a lot! On top of all of this- our guests also said that the food was excellent! This place is worth every penny!!

The staff at The Candlewood Inn was amazing. They took care of everything for me, and the entire event went off without a hitch. I couldn't of asked for anything better. From the moment my husband and I arrived to the very last dance they catered to my every need. I felt like a princess. The food was exceptional; especially my cake (YUM!). The atmosphere was elegant, with breathtaking views of the sunset over the water. My guests couldn't stop raving about what a fantastic time they had. It was a little on the pricier side, but well worth it. If I could do it all over again I would definetly have my reception at Candlewood!!
