“We were lucky enough to be one of the first weddings of the season at Black Star! We had a fantastic time and the event staff helped make our special weekend go smoothly. The food and drinks we served were a huge hit too. All in all, a great experience and we cannot wait to come back to visit.”

 “If we had to do it all over again we would choose Black Star every single time! … everyone from the event coordinator, the inn keepers, and the servers during all the events were amazing and beyond helpful. Having our wedding weekend at BSF made the planning process and whole weekend seem seamless to us!”
