Welcome! Catering Governor's Inn
Entertainment Schedule
 


The Governor's Inn is the perfect choice for your wedding.  The grounds are gorgeous. The greenery is lush, the flowers abundant and our formal red brick and lattice gazebo is tucked away for a very private ceremony.

Your reception can begin on our Courtyard under a festive white party tent, on the patio of the Rolland Estate, or in the Inn's exquisite dining rooms and common areas. These rooms also make for a lovely ceremony in the event of rain (which is good luck, by the way).

Then step inside the comfort of either domain for dinner and dancing.  The Rolland Estate is ideal for events seating up to 50 guests, or over 100 for cocktails and hours d 'oeuvres.  The  old world ambiance is elegant and if you book the rooms above  it you will feel as if the estate is yours!

For parties up to 175 people, enjoy our magnificent ballroom, with vaulted ceilings , inset and hanging chandeliers dimmed to create the romantic atmosphere, and private bar.  If you are looking for a stress-free day... you've found it here at The Governor's Inn!

Please scroll below to view our five wedding packages.
They include everything from hor d'ouerves and champagne to a fabulous wedding cake.  And keep in mind that we pride ourselves on being a family business which allows us to be flexible!  We can modify any plan and any menu to make it the way you want it ... after all, it is our goal not just to make you and your guests happy but to make everything as easy and carefree as you want it to be!
