"A timeless and effortlessly romantic venue with a rich history engrained deep within its structure. Exposed brick with edges worn and frayed from years of happy gatherings line the walls. The original flooring scuffed and scraped from dancing shoes and spilled champagne. Much like many of the previous couples who have walked through its doors, it is Front Street Inn's imperfections that make it quintessential. Book the entire building (all four rooms, event space, and outdoor patios) or just the event space. This building would be a great venue to host your micro-wedding, showers, or anniversaries and is sure to leave your guests talking for years to come. Set up an appointment to learn more." ~ The Front Street Inn
