The Roycroft Inn

The food was terrific! The staff was very helpful; however they were not as readily available to our guests after our dessert as they were through dinner. Some of our guests went directly to the bar which didn't matter too much since one of our servers was the one bartending.

Outstanding job! Everyone was so helpful and polite. They really helped us create a beautiful and memorable wedding!

The Roycroft is an amazing venue for a wedding. If it's in your budget, there is nothing that compares in the area. The food is fantastic, the staff is so helpful and professional, David the wedding planner will do almost anything and everything to accommodate you! If you have your event in the summer, it can get very hot in the banquet room, so make sure you discuss how to keep it cool (shut the doors and blasting the AC) with the staff ahead of time.

My brother had his wedding reception at the Roycroft Inn in 1986 and celebrated his 10th anniversary there, one year after the Inn was restored. I was so impressed that 15 years later, I remember it (even from faraway Philadelphia) and knew it was just the right place for my event. I cannot say enough good things about the Roycroft. We had a small (26 guests) ceremony in the lounge, followed by a cocktail reception in the same room (they reconfigured the seating in a few minutes), followed by dinner in the adjacent library. Everything was perfect for our New Year's Day wedding. The Roycroft was beautifully done up for the holidays; the only flowers I had to provide were my bouquet, boutonnieres and corsages for the groom and parents, and decoration for the cake. Fresh flowers, exquisitely done, are provided every day at all the tables and accent areas, at no charge to the client. Placecards, programs and favors that I provided were tastefully arranged without my input. The Roycroft provided elegant tea lights and other appointments without my asking for them or even knowing they would be included. They also distributed our goodie bags to our overnight guests. The service was impeccable and friendly. We did not have dancing, but provided a CD of selections to be played at various times during the 1/2 hour ceremony. One of the waitstaff took on the responsibility for turning the music on and off at the appropriate times, and it went off without a hitch. I couldn't have asked for any improvements, and all was done on a very reasonable budget. I cannot recommend the Roycroft highly enough.

We can't say enough about how wonderful the Roycroft Inn was for our wedding. The staff was helpful in our planning stages and the evening went off without any problems. People are still talking about what a wonderful reception it was. The food was outstanding and the service was prompt and courteous.

No complaints. The Roycroft provided the perfect venue. The staff was responsive to our needs and exceeded our expectations. If anything went wrong, we didn't know about it.

The Roycroft Inn provides a unique setting for any wedding. Their rustic look was perfect for our fall wedding. Unfortunately uniqueness invites limitations: Being in a neighborhood our reception had to end at 11pm. Parking is limited to street parking and there was no valet service available. They could only provide room for 110 guests. A small portion (20) of those 110 guests had to be a “separate” room which was a smaller sun room overlooking the larger room. There was no room for the cake in the banquet room and had to be displayed in the reception room. With all of this, we felt the food and atmosphere would be prefect. The location was a reasonable drive (20 minutes at the most) from the rural church in Colden. We planned accordingly to accommodate their limitations. Sadly, more issues appeared during the wedding: Despite their assurance I would be provided my own “wedding coordinator to see everything was running smoothly” I learned the day of my wedding they meant – to make sure everything was running smoothly on their end. My schedule was ignored. I know this because I explained in writing to them that we would be ½ hour after our guests and was asked with a surprised looked why my husband and I were so late. I was specifically told our wedding would be the only one. This was important to us due to the limited parking. I found out days after our wedding there was another smaller wedding in the library. This is very unfortunate. We paid good money to the Roycroft for their complete attention to us. I am so glad I insisted the names of the banquet rooms were placed in the contract. They gave me such a strange look when I asked for this because “we were supposed to be the only wedding.” I found days after our wedding despite paying gratuity the bartender still placed a tip jar out. Likewise, a sign that was promised to list the hours the bar would be opened (as we had limited hours) was not done. The band never received their sandwiches that I paid for. Being professionals that they were when I asked if they enjoyed their sandwiches on the day of my wedding, they exclaimed “Yes!” only to find days later they never did receive them and didn’t want to worry me. For some reason, they insisted that the final bill was paid in full that evening. This was because they were only going to charge for who attended so if someone did not show up – technically I wasn’t paying for them. My husband and I paid for the wedding ourselves, so there I was in my white dress paying the rest of the bill to a very rude hotel attendant. Hello? Do you see the white dress? Could you have been nicer? The dance floor despite assurance was way too small. Okay, okay. Here are some of the positives of the Roycroft: The food was excellent The hors d’overs were excellent They did set up the tables as requested They did set up the place cards as requested They had a fee schedule to pay for drinks per person by the hour which is great when you want to budget and don’t want any bill surprises. I would not recommend the Roycroft to weddings larger than 50. Be sure to get important details in writing, such as the banquet rooms. Understand they will not have a wedding coordinator to help you – they are only interested in their end of things. Be prepared for promises not to be kept (especially if it is not in writing) and stress to pay the bill before or a few days after your wedding.
