The Inn at West Settlement — Attraction in Town of Roxbury

If you're looking for a venue to have your wedding weekend outside of your cookie cutter banquet ballrooms, then you've found your place. Nestled in one of the most private environments you can imagine, you feel as though you have an entire mountain range to yourself. The natural backdrops are stunning and you are in full "disconnect to reconnect" mode. The venue is incredibly weather resilient since the barn is two full levels, allowing you to host all activities indoors with plenty of room, if needed. We can't recommend enough staying on property at the 6 bedroom, 3 full bath farmhouse that allows you to have enough space for any and all wedding prep you can think of. The farmhouse and the barn are eclectic in the all the right ways. A step back to a simpler, more laid back, era.

Most importantly, the owner and day of coordinator, Kim, is truly one of a kind. She's passionate, hardworking, and makes your wedding day and wedding weekend as smooth as can be. This infectious energy translates to her team as well as they are true embodiments of her professionalism. Kim is extremely well organized and communicative throughout the process. Highly recommend at least one in person visit to touch base as the wedding draws near.

Kim is truly a master of her domain when it comes to flowers and flower arrangements, with many of the flowers grown on property. As long as you and a few others are willing to help with putting together arrangements, the flowers come complimentary with the booking of this venue. It's truly a wonderful experience to have that time to bond with family and friends while putting personal touches on all the arrangements.

Kim has a wonderful list of recommended vendors for all aspects of the your wedding day, so if you need some advice or a vendor, Kim has a plethora of knowledge and well established relationships she can lean on. Kim's food vendor for the cocktail hour and reception, Mary, is as old school as they come. She can create fantastic dishes and bites, but be prepared for phone calls with pen & paper. If you're someone who prefers ultra-modern and corporate, then this venue is not for you. This is a venue, where ultimately, the time and energy you dedicate to your wedding prep is returned in full, and then some, from Kim and her team. If you're willing to be wholly engaged then this venue simply doesn't disappoint. If done right, the vibe you'll create is large, upscale, backyard family BBQ energy.

We simply cannot think of a better way to spend a weekend with our closest friends and family. If I could, this would be a 6...

The venue is stunning and remote, a dream location for a reasonable price. The flower garden is epic and glorious (see my profile pic). It’s amazing what Kim, the owner, has done with the land.

Most of the staff is pretty friendly but I had some difficulty with the wedding coordinator, also Kim. The bare minimum of what needed to get done, got done. But it was nearly impossible to touch base with her the weeks leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding. (There is no cell service on the property.) She relayed messages to me and my husband through wedding guests instead of members of the wedding party. It made things unnecessarily stressful and confusing. Her demeanor was overall curt and unprofessional, enough to ruin my big day. Thankfully I have a supportive husband and friends. She didn’t follow through with a lot that was in the contract and she didn't keep track of how much we paid her. She impatiently made decisions for us instead of deferring to what we wanted. Honestly, she seemed pretty burnt out and stretched thin. She was also super protective of the space. During the reception, she sat along the periphery with another man, to whom I was never introduced, like chaperones at a high school dance. Super awkward.

If you stay in the house, the master shower is pretty gross, filled with slimy mildew. I wish I had brought flip flops. The master bed frame is completely broken, presumably from, um, too much...

The Inn at West Settlement, lead by owner and DOC, Kim Lynas, was a dream come true! Kim and her team were amazing. They have curated a gorgeous venue, with incredible landscape and beautiful reception barn. The Farmhouse was a wonderful space to stay and get ready. The barn was the perfectly sized space for our 130 person wedding. Kim had an awesome room of decorations for us to use for our decor needs. We really didn’t need to add anything! From candle holders, table numbers, tons of signs, card boxes, flower vases.

The Inn works exclusively with Mary’s Cookin’ catering and Rachel’s bartending team. Their experience and thorough knowledge of the space makes for a smooth and professional service experience for all your food and beverage needs.

Kim was open-minded and excited about the vendors we did bring in, helping us pick photographers and DJs from previous weddings she thought would match our vibe. She coordinated with all the vendors seamlessly.

Having the space for the entire weekend, including a Friday welcome dinner and Sunday farewell brunch was the perfect way to extend an amazing wedding into a three day event. Friday morning was spent with Kim and her team, putting together bouquets from her incredible flower garden and picking out decor from her collection to create the perfect wedding aesthetic to match our dream look.

I can’t say thank you enough to this team! Kim, Danny, Areley, Katrina...
