Amazing, wonderful, 11/10
I could not recommend CW enough to host your wedding. We got married here in November and the entire process start to finish was a dream.
We hosted our reception at the Inn in the Regency Room and our rehearsal Dinner at Shields Tavern and both events ran flawlessly and were absolutely beautiful.
The venue coordinator Yuani is a god send. Easy to communicate with, organized, so knowledgeable about local vendors/who to contact for what. I trusted Yuani entirely with our wedding and she over delivered. Truly so grateful.
Lindsay the florist at CW did such beautiful work and our guests are still talking about our center pieces and overall floral. She took my very vague vision and turned it into stunning floral tablescapes. She was great at communicating the different price points and working within our budget.
The food at both events was amazing and a guest highlight. I HIGHLY recommend a rehearsal dinner at the one of the taverns, the food was fantastic and the ambience is truly 'Colonial Williamsburg'. The pastry chef delivered a beautiful cake that was exactly my vision and delicious too!
As an out-of-town bride it was also really helpful that a lot of things are in house/optionally in house; catering, floral, cake, tables, chairs, plates, silverware and glassware, etc. You can add additional rentals if you want, but a lot they already, have reducing the number of vendors you need to coordinate with.
HIGHLY recommend Colonial Williamsburg for your event if its on your radar at all. The CW team made our wedding day a perfect dream!

Yuani, Manager of Weddings & Special Events at The Williamsburg Inn, worked hand-in-hand with me and my mom to create the wedding of my dreams. She helped guide us through multiple tastings, vendor selections, logistics, and special touches. From starting the day with a chinoiserie bridal luncheon with The Williamsburg Inn chef to the perfect horse-drawn carriage and fife and drum escort, Yuani struck the right balance of classic elegance and Colonial Williamsburg charm. She crafted an incredibly well-planned and beautiful day that I will remember for a lifetime. She is a treasure and my family loved working with her!

Liz with CW was amazing! She made our wedding so smooth and easy to plan. They literally have almost everything in house which made the vendor search easy. We got our meal, florals, cake, table settings and linens through CW. They were all amazing. The wedding day was seamless and Liz was available the whole day if needed.

The team at the inn was so easy to work with and always willing to find a solution. We had a few small hiccups with guest hotel rooms but everyone was quickly reaccomodated and compensated for the inconvenience. We had a couple meetings with the wedding planner to discuss the wedding day details and I honestly just basically showed up to the wedding. Everything was amazing. Zero drama! No surprises. I’d hold any event there in the future! We already have our one year anniversary return planned.

We are so glad that we went with Colonial Williamsburg for our wedding! Yuani was an absolute pleasure to work with, she is a real pro at what she does. She put us at ease throughout the entire process and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Our guests were treated with the first class experience that you would expect from a well-regarded organization.

I was recently married at Wren / reception at The Inn and couldn't be happier with our decision. Michele Derosa was our contact and she was a dream to work with. We toured in October and didn't end up booking until February of the following year but they were never pushy and always tried to find ways to make us happy.
We had our cocktail hour in the east lounge and moved over to the regency room for dinner and dancing. Our guests were in awe at the beauty and history of The Inn. They also commented that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. We did a played dinner and he presentation, service, food itself was impeccable. We had a bourbon bar,s'mores and cigars outside. The Inn was so attentive to my needs as the bride- they customized every single dish for us.
I cannot reccommend this venue highly enough. From the space to the people you will work with In the planning process, it was a complete joy. Thank you to the entire team at The Inn, but especially Michele, for making our wedding day exceed all expectations.

We didn't end up having our wedding at the Williamsburg Inn because it was above our price point, but I wish it weren't. Every inch of the Inn and its property is beautiful, and there are numerous indoor and outdoor options to choose from to get the exact atmosphere you want for your event. The staff is excellent, and willing to accommodate unconventional requests. Had we booked our reception there, they would have worked with us to make a custom menu and wedding cake. This is far superior to other venues in the area, which have a "pick 2 of the following 4 options" catering style. They also have an onsite coordinator included in the cost.
Overall cost for a June wedding, 2017 would have been $15,000 food and drink minimum, plus site rental fee. The sites we considered were the Rockefeller complex ($5,000) and regency room ($3,000). Additionally, one honeymoon night at the 5-star Williamsburg Inn is included, and a hotel room block comes with discounted tickets to Colonial Williamsburg.

Truly was The Wedding of the Century! Kathy Cannon was the perfect coordinator, and the staff at the properties were so helpful in every way. Beautiful setting....we had The Rockefeller room for the ceremony and The East Lounge for the reception. Everything was perfect.

We were connected with the Williamsburg Inn via our wedding planner. All of the properties from Colonial Williamsburg are under a single umbrella, and we actually held our wedding in the old Rockefeller art museum and buildings. The event staff were great to work with, and the chef and pastry chef left everyone raving about the food. Our contract was executed perfectly. I would have given a 5 but the event order took 10+ tries to get correct and we were still overbilled as the invoice was never corrected. We did get refunded the overage in the end, but it was very stressful for us. I would highly recommend using a wedding planner as a go between as she handled most of the contact with Inn staff

It was beautiful! We had the garden and had a great deal. 1200 for the whole day, included a covered area for the reception. The food was great, a little expensive, but amazing. :)
