Patrons will want to stroll among the authentic Williamsburg buildings. Music can be contracted for either indoors or outdoors events. Such a distinctive location as INOLA in Blue Ridge, will attract guests and as a result raise your donation totals.
The Ultimate Birthday at any Age
Benchmarks in your life should be celebrated joyfully. Wow your guests with a location that exceeds their every expectation. Recently we hosted a surprise party for an Atlanta realtor. We managed to hide over forty cars to amaze the unknowing birthday girl. The special night was stunning with live music, dancing, fireworks and friends.
Recommitting to Your Love
Perhaps you’ve made it to 10, 25 or 50 years together and you want the world to know you’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Maybe you want to reaffirm your commitment to each other after a rough period in your relationship. There’s no wrong reason to renew. The Hopewell Chapel is the perfect location for declaring your lasting love to the glow of candles and surrounded by friends and family. After, Wetherburn’s Tavern and Wythe House are available for a reception.
Over the Top in Luxury and Drama
Consider the unconventional as an adjunct to any of the above possibilities. You can arrive by helicopter, be greeted by our staff with champagne flutes, and perhaps roses for the lady. Then we will whisk you to the event in a horse and carriage. For more drama how about a high end or vintage sports car. There is no reason to be ordinary. At INOLA we make the extraordinary happen.
Outdoor Concerts
Amphitheater: Coming soon, plans for a 200-person amphitheater that we call “Chastain Park In the Mountains” with tables and candelabras and grass area seating for another 800+ persons. Weddings, concerts and plays will take place on the circular stage that will be partially on the lake with its magnificent backdrop of the 20’ waterfall. Our concert venue can hold up to 1500 and is located on the banks of our private lake. It faces the opposite side the bank which we are building a stream along with the waterfall that falls 20 feet into the lake. There will be a walking path and seating area behind it, making it perfect for a special outdoor event.
Movie and Films
Our historic main street has early to mid 1700’s building replicas.
The village is replete with replicas of Colonial Williamsburg VA homes, a church, stables, barns, gardens, a Tavern/Inn and Post Office. The Colonial buildings are the most period perfect in the U.S. All trim, hardware, handmade windows and glass, floors, moldings, fireplaces and even each color, size and number of bricks for the façades were painstakingly re-created over a 10-year construction period.
