The Inn at Ellis River is the ideal romantic setting for your engagement, intimate wedding, elopement or honeymoon.

The picturesque village of Jackson is known for scenic surroundings, cascading Jackson Falls waterfall, and the historic red covered bridge, named the “Honeymoon Bridge.” This is a place where honeymooners would stop and steal a “Good Luck Kiss,” a tradition that dates back to the 1800’s.

Here at the Inn at Ellis River, we can arrange the perfect romantic event for you. There are several special romantic, elopement, wedding and honeymoon packages from which to choose, or we will help you design one especially for you. Just give us a call and we will be happy to help you with your plans!

Intimate Weddings

Jackson is a beautiful setting for your very special day. If you are considering a wedding at the Inn, it is best suited for those who would like a small, intimate event in a relaxed, casually elegant setting.

Your celebration may be as private as just the two of you and immediate family, or for up to 10 – 12  guests. Although some couples choose to have their ceremony at the Inn, others choose a ceremony at Jackson Falls,  the community church, the Jackson Covered Bridge (“Honeymoon Bridge”), village gazebo, or one of the other scenic locations nearby, followed by a reception at the Inn.

We are happy to work with you to plan every aspect of this most special day. We offer our Intimate Wedding or Renewal of Vows Package for 10 – 12 persons starting at $2,200 plus 9% NH tax where applicable. It includes:
