Over the last several months, I have gotten to know the Colonel Blackinton Inn well. Between…read moreplanning a bridal shower here and attending a rehearsal dinner, I am well acquainted with what the inn has to offer in the way of private functions. The Carriage House at the Inn is a wonderful venue to have a small get-together for many special occasions. This setting holds up to approximately 50 guests and has a full bar, fireplace, and sunroom. Though the space is small, staff strategically create an enjoyable space for people to mingle, socialize, and enjoy each other's company. Their table setup is beautiful, outdoor greenery stunning and inviting, and atmosphere homey. For each private event, you are accompanied by efficient and accommodating staff, full of smiles and pleasant conversation. Valet parks all cars. The food here is delicious! At the bridal shower guests indulged in sangria and a multitude of appetizers including crab cakes, bruschetta, a large fruit plate, and plentiful antipasto salad, amongst other items. The rehearsal dinner brought full glasses of red and white wines, a full cheese and cracker platter, chicken marsala, fish, and filet mignon. Everything was tasty! I would be very interested to try out dinner here on my own! I definitely recommend this place for your private function!

The staff was attentive, warm, organized, and completely on top of everything all day. The biggest standout was the food. It was a brunch setup and every single thing was delicious - chicken and waffles, the best catered eggs I've ever had, pasta, salmon, and bacon I'll never forget. Huge shoutout to Dean for arranging everything and absolutely crushing the food and overall experience. I had friends and family come in from all over the country and everyone left impressed and in love with Rhode Island. I keep saying I just need to get a boat and become a member hahaha. Will def have this in my rotation for hosting events!

They had tables throughout, the event up on a big screen, custom cocktails and a food table that was always stocked! Very impressive. The event needed more bartenders though!

The room was clean and the manager walking around was kind. The food looked really good, but I couldn't eat much of it because of my dietary restrictions. They had a lot of meat and cheese options, but it did smell good. I would suggest they get a new bartender though. The female bartender was absolutely crushing it. I got in line to order a drink with the male bartender and waited in line for 45 minutes. It was crazy. The cocktail menu looked great but I didn't bother ordering a cocktail and instead asked what kind of white wine he had and then he proceeded to tell me all wine is wet (???) and then spent 5 minutes trying to find Sauvignon blanc and came back with Pinot Grigio. Which is exactly why I asked what he had so I didn't have to wait any longer I'm excited to come back for other events there and hopefully get in the better bartender line!

I reserved the space last year and this year the rules and regulations had changed, but they did honor my rate and the stipulations that came with the old rental contract. I really appreciate that. The space was perfect for the teens, it has several full size video games and a pool table inside as well. I ta has no real kitchen, but does have a refrigerator. My only gripe is there was no place to put the extra tables we were not using, so they were constantly visible. I was a little overwhelmed by all the" rules" of the place, but understandably so. That part stressed me out. I would definately rent again but a 2 day rental instead so I could take my time cleaning up and completely enjoy the party without worrying about the time.

They even helped my mom bustle my dress! From the outdoor ceremony overlooking the lake to the reception in their simple and modern event space, Crystal Lake was the prefect backdrop for our beautiful celebration. The food was also a highlight, and guests specifically told me how much they enjoyed their meal. I'm so happy we chose Crystal Lake for our wedding. Crystal Lake is a very popular wedding/event venue and there may be more than one event the week or even weekend of your wedding, so my one tip is to decide early if you want other events your wedding weekend (like your rehearsal dinner) to also be at Crystal Lake so that you can get on their calendar. Thank you to everyone at Crystal Lake for making our wedding day so special.
