FAQs

Beautiful Venue, Cost Effective, Outstanding Service

Firstly, Susie, the properly owner, provides outstanding customer service. She’s personable, easy to reach, and responsive via text, email, or phone. She made it so easy to coordinate the wedding and answer any questions. We made multiple updates to our wedding package and she did a great job staying on top of it.

This is a property with multiple options for your wedding weekend. The landscape is kept well, the scenery is beautiful, and the space feels very private. The tavern was used for our rehearsal dinner (50 people). There was plenty of kitchen space and seating. We really enjoyed the patio and yard for games! Bridal party stayed in the recently renovated Wythe Estate. The rooms are gorgeous, fun, and cozy! It was the perfect place to stay with my bridal party. If you’re the bride, stay in the room with the window that overlooks the formal garden. The morning video is breathtaking. The formal garden seats were provided by the venue. Even though we had 150-160 attend our wedding, the space felt so spacious that the wedding felt like a smaller intimate one. The garden was converted to a cocktail hour space that extended into the apple orchard. People checked out the lake too. The white tent is huge and spacious. They recently redid their floor which is really nice. The lighting was provided and the space again, felt spacious! At night, the gardens/outdoor space were beautifully lit. It was an absolutely gorgeous venue that everyone loved.

P.S. don’t waste your time looking for a cheaper place for your rehearsal dinner. INOLA’s price can’t be beat. Blue ridge restaurants charge a LOT for renting out space.
