Village Inn Hotel & Event Center

In June 2011 out daughter was engaged! And with that event, we began planning towards a July 2012 wedding. We were challenged with the reality that our daughter lived in Winston-Salem and we lived out of state. So we took the route of using the internet to explore our options for a wedding in the Winston-Salem area. Our criteria were simple (or at least, so we thought). We were looking for a venue that could accommodate up to 200 guests, provide night lodging for guests from out of town (ultimately our guests arrived from 10 states and 3 countries), allow flexibility and quality in the details, be in close proximity to the church, and have fantastic food, all for a reasonable price! And while we researched virtually every venue we could find within 30 miles of Winston-Salem, only the Village Inn met all of our requirements. So we called, and met Lana. Thanks to Lana and her team at Village Inn, our daughters’ wedding was amazing. Our first meeting at the Village Inn with Lana was very warm and informative. We negotiated, and appropriate discounts were given to rooms, suites and hospitality rooms. As we were planning this wedding from a distance, we were so grateful for Lana’s willingness to answer emails and phone calls as often as needed. The Crystal Ball Room was exactly what we were looking for - warm, welcoming, and spacious. The decorating we did in the front entrance, the cocktail hour room and the ball room (yes, we could add our own touches to the décor) made the rooms elegant looking and ready for a wedding – it was gorgeous. We were so pleased. With the bride and groom, we were able to have “food tasting” and “wine tasting” appointments to decide what our guests were going to eat and drink. We settled on a buffet style dinner which, on the day of the wedding, was wonderfully made and displayed. And to top it all off the food was delicious. Renovations had started in the suites earlier in the year, and they were completed as promised for the wedding. Many of our guests chose to stay for one or more nights and enjoyed the fresh look of the newly renovated rooms. We are so thankful that we chose Lana and her team at the Village Inn to host our daughter’s wedding. Check out the Village Inn. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, again, to Lana and all her team for a job well done.

This is absolutely a beautiful venue no matter what your budget. I was able to do everything for 6,000$. Which included food, drink, venue, table, chairs, linens and China.
