Harris Pelham Inn

Nice wedding venue. The landscape is perfect for photos

This Venue is beautiful, but the food we had wasn’t good. We had stuffed chicken, the chicken was very dry and the stuffing was soggy. We had corn and I didn’t know that you could have corn that tasted bad. We were talking about the food and we were wondering how you could make corn taste bad. We decided that they had to give us field corn, that they usually give to pigs. The beef was average but nothing to rave about. The venue is beautiful, and my daughters wedding was beautiful. Mae was wonderful and so helpful and the waitstaff was wonderful. It would have been perfect if the food was good.

The Harris’ Inn is AMAZING to work with!!!
My Husband and I got married there in March 2015 and all i can really say is that the venue was perfect as were the people that helped us plan it.
Location: Easily accessible from the highway. It’s only 3 – 4 miles off the highway. It’s on a road that isn’t heavily traveled, so it’s safe to be outside and not hearing cars drive by being loud.
Food: Although they don’t do food tastings prior to events, the food is simply amazing. We had Turkey, Roast Beef, Potatoes, Stuffing and Carrots all of which was so good. The food was served family style which provided a relaxed atmosphere where it brought people together. The servers were present for everyone when they requested more food.
Planning: Betsy and Faith were so easy to work with. They were so accommodating and willing to move things around for exactly how we wanted to be for our special day. The day of they were present to help set up and assure that everything that had been discussed was followed out.
Overall we couldn’t be happier that we went with this venue. Our day couldn’t be any better; and i think it’s largely because of the ease of working with Faith & Betsy.

I haven’t gotten married yet, I’ll update my review afterwards, but I have a very god feeling it will be 5 stars! After calling so many places and visiting a few Harris Pelham Inn was so beautiful and affordable as well (which is so important)!
The rest of this review is for the staff member that I first spoke with and who we booked the venue (mostly because of how helpful, kind, knowledgeable, professional, and her amazing customer service).
I just wanted to take the time to thank Betsy for being so amazing and flexible on Saturday! I called early afternoon after looking at a venue that I wasn’t very happy with and on a whim wanted to swing by the Harris Pelham Inn to view the grounds. Betsy answered the phone and was very pleasant to speak with and told us to stop on by.
Forty minutes later I was there with my fiancé and mom and Betsy welcomed us into the office. I wasn’t expecting a full tour since it was outside of business hours and I didn’t have an appointment, but she took the time to show us all around and was so sweet and knowledgeable.
The reception room upstairs was warm and inviting, the patio are off the reception room was big and roomy with a spectacular view (even in November with the foliage gone completely). The grounds were perfectly kept and the gazebo was beautiful.
I quickly fell in love and the next day my mom spoke with Betsy again to book our wedding date!
I just wanted to let the staff at Harris Pelham Inn that part of the reason I chose the venue was because of the great personality of Betsy! I could tell right off the bat that I will be happy with this venue and that the staff was warm and caring! I can’t wait to get married there in May!

Came here for a recent wedding — what a gorgeous venue! I am from California, where I’ve been to several gorgeous weddings, but this was truly lovely. We sat on the lawn facing the lake, with the Inn behind us. They had a wine and cheese reception just after the ceremony, then eventually led us in to the dining room for the toast and dinner. Dinner was family style, and had roast beef, veggies, chicken, mashed potatoes, and so forth. It was fun and different, and a great way to start conversing with others at the table. The dance floor was a good size, and I could easily see the space holding at least 150 people (we were on the second floor). It was a beautiful day, with giant puffy clouds in the sky, and I was really happy for my friends getting married.

We just had our wedding there. They did an amazing job serving 155 guests plus vendors a warm, delicious family styled dinner! They were on top of platter refills, clearing the tables, etc. I have so many compliments from various guests! We are so pleased with choosing the Harris’ Pelham Inn. I have not one complaint! Betsy and Faith were phenomenal to work with! I would recommend anyone to look here for their function!

I’ve been to the Harris Inn for many events throughout my time in Pelham. They hosted my school functions and did an excellent job. The food is good; the grounds are well cared for. Because I’d had good experiences in the past, I immediately went to them when I got engaged. At first, they were absolutely wonderful and were willing to work with me to make my wedding day perfect. Because my fiancé is Cambodian, we wanted to bring in Cambodian food to serve with the Inn’s food to honor his culture as well as mine. They were willing to work with me at first and told me that we would be able to do that as long as we paid the per plate price for every guest.
Unfortunately, things didn’t progress as we’d hoped. The second that Betsy met my fiancé, she immediately stopped working with us. She refused to answer our questions, only stating that she «just don’t think it’s going to work out» and that we should «start looking for another venue.» We had to fight to get back our deposit. We were left with the feeling that his race was the reason why we were suddenly given the cold shoulder. Pelham is a predominately white town, and with the business they get from locals, they never have to allow other races if they don’t want to. Clearly, they didn’t want to, and we were left scrambling to find something else. Sure, they have good food, but after the way that we were treated, I will never go back.

I had my wedding reception here this past November, and it was wonderful. All of the staff were helpful, kind, and understanding when I became a bit of a nervous, crazy bride. They even put up with my Mom’s and my crazy micro-​managing.
When the wedding day came, My husband and I arrived to a reception set up EXACTLY the way we had wanted. They had moved out all of their own decorations, and replaced them with the ones we had brought. It was such a relief to know that they were going to take care of everything, and I could just arrive to have a wonderful time.
I loved that I was able to have my wedding at a family owned venue, where they listened to exactly what we wanted. We have wonderful pictures that were taken in the gazebo, as well as inside where they had set up a bench surrounded by mums and other fall décor. It was so beautiful, several of our guest used pictures from this bench as their Christmas cards!
I can’t say enough how much my husband and I loved the Pelham Inn!

My girlfriend Denise has a wedding planning business and I came on board as an assistant/​go-​fer for her so that she could concentrate more on the wedding party than the venue.
I arrived at Pelham Inn early so that I could help out anyone who needed help and to get everything coordinated with the event. I couldn’t have worked with better people! Everyone I came in contact with that worked for the Inn were happy to help, never felt slighted or snubbed and did it all immediately!
The dinner was family style and was very flavorful, hot and delicious. We went over in time just a bit and not one person came up to us to let us know. Never felt rushed out either.
Great first experience for me and I hope we have another opportunity to come back to have another wedding event there! Thanks for everything!

Here for a wedding. We were situated both outside and inside (upstairs). The grounds are nice, well kept. It is on the water, which offers a great opportunity for photos. The tables and chairs outside were set up in an inviting fashion but also allowed people to get away from the crowd. There is a gazebo. The inside is a bit dated but spacious and has a balcony outside. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive.
The food that was served was a turkey dinner, family style. Everything was very good — nothing outstanding. The salad was swimming in dressing. The portions were appropriate, and you could ask for more if needed.

I’ve been to a wedding here which was very quaint and cute. The bride and groom took a horse and buggy along a pond and then rode up to the Inn.
The wedding was outside and was easy to get from the ceremony back to the inside for eating. The food was pretty good and family style. If something ran out (which it did often) they would refill it, however it did get annoying when that happened.
Anyways, its a nice place with nice grounds. Thats all.
