The beautiful private grounds of the Black Bear Inn is an ideal setting for a romantic outdoor wedding. Exchange your vows in the lower meadow among the oak trees and sweet peas, enjoy cocktails and appetizers in our stunning Gathering Room, and dance under the string of lights on the back patio.

With so many areas within and throughout the property - indoors or outdoors, the Black Bear Inn is an ideal setting for your special day.
