Almost three months ago prior to the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic and its ultimate shut down of not only Colonial Williamsburg, but of the United States as a whole, we were able to have the wedding of our dreams at The Williamsburg Inn. Even with all that has happened and was happening before and during our special day the team at Colonial Williamsburg came through for us.
No wedding day is perfect on every account. Neither of us believe that is possible and we went into our day knowing this. There are always the last-minute things that are forgotten or sudden disappointments that you did not expect. And that’s when there isn’t a Global Pandemic breathing down your neck. But the comments we got from all of our guests, family, and friends was simple. “This was perfect, everything was perfect!”. From the Doormen, Valet Parking Attendants, and Custodial Staff to the Cooks, Servers, Bartenders, and Groundskeepers, no problem or fault could be found by those we invited to share in our special day. Everyone stated they felt safe, enthused, taken care of, relaxed, and joyous all weekend.
The staff is incredibly communicative during all phases of the planning and executing of the wedding and reception. Their venues are second to none, and the historical architecture made our special day feel once in a lifetime. If you are looking for a wonderfully elegant, classy, and incredible all in one experience you should look no further than the Williamsburg Inn and it's grounds.

Flawless, amazing experience!
I would highly recommend Colonial Williamsburg Resorts for a venue. We met with Brittany first to look around the Inn to decide on a location and get the contract going. We met with Yuani who coordinated everything up until the ceremony. Both ladies were super friendly and amazing to work with. They responded so quickly to any questions we had! The Inn took care of all of the catering, drinks, and cake and everything was perfect and delicious! The staff was so friendly as well. Our experience was amazing and everyone we worked with at the Inn made sure our wedding day was perfect!

Helpful & Responsive. We were treated so well! (Williamsburg Inn)
We had a great time having our wedding at the Williamsburg Inn. We worked with Brittany to get the contract for the venue, and then we met with Yuani to help us coordinate the day of. Both were wonderful in terms of understanding our needs, answering our questions, and providing suggestions. They were very flexible and communicative.
We worked with Yuani a lot, which made our wedding immensely less stressful. She was very calm and so incredibly helpful when it came to getting a timeline and coordinating with the vendors on the day of. We had to move our wedding inside, and we ended up using a different ballroom instead of our original rain backup plan (same room as reception), which was beautiful and a wonderful suprise.
As for the night of accomodations, my husband and I had a wonderful experience. We used the Perry Shaw Hepburn room to get ready (no bathroom), but it happened to be connected to our night of room! The staff came in between the ceremony and the end of reception and set up everything so nicely for us. There was champagne, chocolates, fresh towels, and a personal note. It made us feel so special, and we had such a wonderful experience there. We really hope to come back for an anniversary!
The Inn also did our cake and our dinner. The bar service & specialty cocktail we chose, and everyone commented on how delicious the food was. Not typical or bland, as some event food can be sometimes, but intensely flavorful and felt very healthy and light. The cake was divine as well. Overall such a good experience.
This venue is one of the top destinations on the East Coast for special events and weddings. It's absolutely gorgeous, and the staff are professional and easy to work with. We highly recommend The Williamsburg Inn and Lodge with their gardens and other beautiful vistas for any occasion.
