GOODSTONE INN & RESTAURANT

incredibly kind and helpful. Austin Ankers is very responsive and flexible to working with your needs and budget. Our wedding day was absolutely amazing and the Goodstone staff made it special. The views are unmatched and the food is incredible. We are already planning our anniversary visits!

o it that felt so romantic and beautiful. We selected the Manor House package for our small wedding, and it was perfect. As part of the package, you rent the four rooms in the Manor House on Friday and Saturday night. I found this very relaxing (no need to worry about getting to the venue on time) and it almost made it feel like you were getting married at home (a very nice home with the most beautiful views you have ever seen of rolling hills). Also, when you book a wedding at the Goodstone, you are the only wedding they have planned for that weekend. This is not something you encounter at a lot of luxury inns and resorts. They make you feel like a true VIP. The best feature of the Goodstone is the amazing landscape. You will not believe how incredible the pictures turn out. The backdrop is unreal. The area around the pool with the hanging vines is a dream location for couple shots. If you go to visit in person, I doubt you will be able to find anywhere as beautiful. The staff at the Goodstone is top notch. The chef is absolutely phenomenal. We selected a brunch menu for our afternoon reception, and it got rave reviews from even the pickiest eaters. The eggs benedict and gazpacho were so delicious; I could probably eat them everyday and never get sick of it. The canapés were all delicious. The Virginia ham and biscuit and mini crab cakes were favorites. The sommelier was equally skilled. The wine and champagne he selected for the meal were perfect. My husband, who was firmly anti-Prosecco prior to the tasting, absolutely loved the Prosecco selected for our toast. My husband liked the Sauvignon Blanc so much he is ordering a case for our home. Working with Dana and Linda was truly wonderful. They made themselves available throughout the wedding process to answer questions and to show us around the property. They worked hard to make the day how we envisioned it, and brought in their own expertise and experience when plans shifted. I was so nervous when it rained on our wedding day (its so hard to give up the idea of an outdoor ceremony after a year of planning), but Dana and Linda helped put together a truly beautiful indoor set up that far exceeded any expectations I had for the day. It was so beautiful and intimate, and the day was truly perfect. I could not recommend the Goodstone more. I will be so happy to return to the Goodstone to celebrate our anniversary!
