No. With the INOLA Platinum Package the entire village is yours for the weekend, and you can have multiple events across the weekend.  The only thing that alters the price is the number of people, but the use is unfettered.

For the Platinum Package, we host one wedding each weekend to ensure that each couple’s event is special and receives our full attention.  For other wedding packages, we may hold two (2) events on the same day. 

We offer tours by appointment 7 days a week.  Owner Susie Council does all the tours, so you know that you are well cared for to secure your special wedding.

We designed our venue to be beautiful both inside and out, so no matter the weather you can rest assured you’ll always have your perfect day.  The Orchard Pavilion is the perfect tented complement for the adjoining formal English Gardens. In case of inclement weather, your vows will take place in the Orchard Pavilion which holds 250+ guests.  Also, the Wetherburn Tavern and Hopewell Chapel are indoor facilities located on our picturesque main street.

Yes, if pre-approved.  Additional rules and fees apply.  

The Bride and Groom suites as well as the Cigar Lounge will be open at 9:00 am day of wedding.   Packages that include the Wythe Estate overnight accommodations allow for access at 2pm the day prior with check-out at 2pm the day following the wedding.  

Day-of or day before rehearsals allowed and will be scheduled by the venue or wedding planner.  If you book the Platinum Package or overnight accommodations you may rehearse the evening before.  This frees up your evening prior, allows for everyone to be in-town, and to rehearse at the correct site based on that day’s weather. Rehearsing typically takes 20-30 minutes, so there’s more time for photos and relaxing throughout the wedding day. 

To make the best use of outdoor photography and natural sunlight, we suggest starting March – November weddings from 5:00-6:00pm prior to daylight savings ending. For winter weddings we suggest starting at 4:00-5:00pm.

Wedding end times are 11:00pm on Friday/Saturday and 10:00pm on Sunday. The send-off is 5 hours after the start of the ceremony.  There are several after-party options we’re happy to share with you if some of your guests would like to continue the celebration. 

We can accommodate approximately 100 cars with Valet and have additional parking available throughout the property.

Since we host one event per day, our fee structure remains the same whether you hold your ceremony on or off-site.

We’ll need your final guest count and floor plan 10 days prior to your wedding.

Our Preferred Vendor list are professionals that have all worked at the venue and have a proven high quality of service and products.  You may choose a vendor group not on our list if we approve them in writing and there will be a 10% additional fee due to the venue over what that vendor charges you.  We have learned that not using our Preferred Vendors often leads to miscommunication added stress.  We discourage but understand and will try to accommodate your needs.

To ensure we can properly clean and prepare the venue for the next event, all items and vehicles must be removed from the venue the night of your wedding for all packages other than Platinum which allows Sunday removal up to 2pm.
