  • Our Flawless Big Day

    Smoke Rise Village Inn was beyond exceptional in hosting our wedding. From the moment we booked with them, the manager Kelly was on top of every little detail of our big day like it was her own. She took genuine pride in her work and clearly loves helping couples create their dream wedding. Despite the common belief that things will inevitably go wrong on your wedding day, we can firmly say that not one single thing went wrong with ours. I attribute this flawless execution entirely to the professionalism and attention to detail of the Smoke Rise Village Inn team. Their service and the quality of their work truly exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful to Kelly and the entire staff for making our special day an absolute dream come true.

    I never heard of Smoke Rise Village Inn but I am so happy I found it on Zola. As soon as my husband and I stepped foot onto the property, we could picture ourselves saying "I do" in the courtyard. I truly cannot say enough good things about this establishment. Working with Kelly was a dream. She goes above and beyond to make sure you have what you want for your big day. She always makes herself available and answers any questions you may have. The food is amazing! We ate at the restaurant before booking and it sealed the deal for us. Their cocktail hour menu is delicious; our guests are still raving about it! The ballroom space is so spacious and we loved having the additional outdoor space in the back. My husband and I plan to return to Smoke Rise Village Inn every year for dinner to celebrate our anniversary.

    We are fortunate enough to perform events at The Smoke Rise Village Inn (SRVI) frequently. The staff is on point, the food is fantastic and their attention to detail is awesome. If that wasn't enough...The staff care about every single one of their clients. Personally, I have also had the opportunity to have events and be a guest at events at SRVI. They did not disappoint. I cannot say enough about this venue. All I can recommend is reach out to them and find out for yourselves.
