Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
Battlefield Bed and Breakfast is LGBTQ+-owned, and its own website has a dedicated page for same-sex weddings and receptions. The inn states that it is glad to host these celebrations, from a last-minute elopement to a large gathering of family and friends, and its policy covers sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
The team will also help couples find an officiant or other suppliers. That makes it a strong fit for couples who want a clear welcome and practical help from the first inquiry.
