Not only did I not have to really decorate the space because it's SO gorgeous, my guests cannot stop commenting on the magical atmosphere of the ceremony space. It's nestled below a gorgeous 1800's house, along a creek, and is so green and lush in the spring and summer. I bet fall weddings would be stunning too! We got married May 3rd. The owners are the sweetest and so wonderful to work with. I want to relive this day again and again!

She was very communicative with us and our bridal party/family so that everyone knew what was expected from them for the ceremony.

The venue includes three historic buildings connected by beautiful cobblestone walkways, lush landscape, landscape lighting as well as cafe lights. The walk from each unique building is just as beautiful as the buildings themselves.

I had the privilege of working with Pam at The Gin on 391. As a wedding planner, the venue could not be more perfect. From the moment we stepped into the indoor chapel, we were captivated by its timeless beauty. The high ceilings with chandeliers, created the perfect ceremony backdrop. The seating arrangement ensured that every guest had a clear view of the ceremony, ensuring that no detail was missed. The acoustics of the ceremony and reception were exceptional, allowing every word of the vows to be heard and the reception. The spacious layout of the reception offered ample room for guests to mingle, dance, and enjoy the festivities. The attention to detail was evident! The convenience of having both indoor spaces not only added to the ease of planning but also maintained a sense of continuity throughout the celebration. Guests were able to move effortlessly from the ceremony to the reception, without any disruptions, allowing for a smooth and uninterrupted experience. The staff (Pam & Bret) at the venue deserve special mention for their exceptional service. From the initial planning stages to the day of the wedding, their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care for our needs were evident. They worked closely with us to understand our vision and executed it flawlessly, ensuring that our wedding day was nothing short of perfect. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this wedding venue enough!

It was a 2 day event starting off with our Sangeet in the Carolina Ballroom for 250 guests and moved into 2 ceremonies in the same ballroom the following day and then cocktail hour and reception in the Symphony Foyer and Ballroom for 500 guests. From the very beginning the planning was smooth and everything was communicated freely with Alison, the Director of Catering. On the weekend of, the banquet staff was impeccable and were fully focused on making our event go on without a hitch. I would 10/10 recommend having your wedding there because of the size the hotel can accommodate and the service that is provided.
